    Once upon a time, he had been the kindest adult in her life.

    She liked to imagine he would still be.

    ─────────

For the first time in almost a decade, uncle and niece will finally be together in the same country.

    A sweet -for once- Rozanov family reunion

    Summary

    It will take time, obviously, he thought, for Shane’s parents. Big shock, a big weird thing. Ilya would be very good to their son, and she would see it, and they’d figure out what to say to each other. A few years of proof. He could work.

    Being someone's child is a muscle, which can atrophy like any other.

    Ilya and his mothers. The one he has to bring himself to believe he's allowed to have and the one he has to remember.
    The memory in chapter 3 is melancholy at its best and before that yuna is a force to be reckoned with

    Summary

    “Mama,” he says, bringing the cigarette to his lips. “You have been worried about me. I know.”

    The smoke in his throat is so familiar. When he breathes out, it's already jagged. "I wanted to tell you that you don't have to be. Not anymore."

    (Or: after waking early one morning at the cottage, Ilya goes down to the water to talk to his mother.)

    Alles ist schön, auch wenn es weh tut.
    The perfect encapsulation of ethereal early morning melancholy. Love and grief and quiet happiness.
    "he laughs like you sometimes" might well be one of the most beautiful things I've ever read

    Summary

    When he was seven years old, Shane Hollander was briefly lost at an airport. Luckily, the kindness of a stranger ensured he made it back to his parents safely, putting an end to a terrifying three hours for the Hollanders. It takes twenty years (and one heated rivalry) for Shane to learn the name of his rescuer. It takes twenty years for Ilya to learn his wish had already come true.

    Summary

    Shane's first mistake was going to talk to Ilya Rozanov before their game. His second was immediately, stupidly, meeting the eyes of Rozanov’s very much dead mother hovering at his side.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Irina is exactly how I'd want her to be: fiercely protective, effortlessly funny, soft, kind, vulnerable, stubborn, stylish...
    Writing parents from scratch is so hard, because you want that throughline, but you don't want them to be carbon copies and for all you could see ilya in her, irina managed to be her own person. The relationship her and Shane developed was so precious. All of it was!
    I couldn't wish for a better AU
