    Summary

    “I’m right here. And you are okay, and you are safe, and healthy, and you are at home, yes? It is quiet, and nobody is there, nobody is bothering you. And the world is full of stupid idiots, but you are not one of them. And I am here. When you need me, I am here.”

    ---------

    or: The whole world thinks Shane is gay because of some stupid internet rumors, and he doesn't even have to confirm it. He's losing control of his entire life and he needs somewhere to put what little he does have.

    Ilya has open hands.

    Summary

    “Maybe—maybe Lily is sleeping,” she says. Bargaining, she realizes numbly. She’s bargaining for more time. And for whatever is unfolding here to stop unfolding and in fact fold itself back up. Her thumb shifts away from the call button. “And you should be sleeping too, mister.”

    “He’s not sleeping.” Shane flares his nostrils—another gesture Yuna hasn’t seen in so many years. “He’s waiting for me to call a third time. Mom. Please. He’s—he’ll be so worried.”

    Yuna shifts her thumb and lets it drop. Is Yuna a bad mother if she hopes "Lily" doesn’t pick up?

    -x-

    or: Shane needs to call someone the night he's laid out by Marlow, and Yuna reflects on her quietly, obsessively devoted son.

    Summary

    “You pull, hard, and whoever gets the center of the wishbone when it breaks…” His mouth is dry. He can’t stop looking at Ilya’s face. “Their wish will come true.”

    They stay caught there for a moment. Ilya tilts his head a bit, his beautiful mouth curved up at the corner. Shane thinks about decades of standing in the kitchen with him. He thinks about family traditions, about language built around shared space and memory. He thinks about the back of Ilya’s hand touching his cheek, about a line of spit draping between them, about ginger ale in the fridge and the shape of Ilya’s cross pressed red into his cheek after a nap. He thinks about the cryptid future in front of them, something part of him won’t believe in until he gets to see it with his own eyes. But he wants to believe. So bad.

    “I know my wish.” Ilya’s eyes are alive in looking at him, the fine tremble as he takes in every part of Shane’s face.

    “Me too.”

    In quiet moments at the cottage and in leaving it, Shane learns how to wish for the future.
