Summary
"Why do you take it all off?"
Gurathin flinched. I hadn't realized how absorbed he'd grown by his little ritual. He glanced into the mirror towards me. His eyebrows raised, but then he politely looked away again.
"It's not good for the skin to leave it overnight."
Humans. So fragile. "But you have to put it back on every morning," I pointed out. "That seems like a hassle."
Gurathin was dabbing carefully at his other eye. Perhaps it was more sensitive. From a MedSys file that I'd definitely not downloaded illegally, I knew that that side of his head held more augments than the other, especially behind his eye socket.
"Leaving it on too long gives you wrinkles," he said.
"You already have wrinkles."
Or: Murderbot & Gurathin vs. make-up.

Summary
He picked up. For a second he considered saying, 'privet,' but then settled for, "Hello?"
"Mr. Shane Hollander?"
It was a male voice, with a thick Russian accent. His H was as rough as Ilya's had been when they'd first met. "Yes," Shane said. "Um... da. Kto govorit'?" He over-compensated, making an odd 'tshhh' sound at the end.
The man continued in English, undeterred by Shane's fumbling attempt at Russian. "You are friend of Ilya Grigoryevich Rozanov?"
A foreboding chill raced over his skin at Ilya's full name. It doesn't mean anything, he chided himself. It was just politeness. Formality.
"Yeah," Shane said. 'Friend,' indeed. "What's going on?"
"I'm sorry to disturb you." The man paused for a moment, solemn. "I call from hospital. Mr. Rozanov is very sick."
The bottom fell out of Shane's stomach. He was glad both of his feet were on the floor.
"What?"
In which, cut off from his brother, Alexei Rozanov tries another avenue to get money.

Summary
It was pure chance that Shane saw it happen. The handle of Gallagher's stick got caught in the neck of Ilya's jersey.
The torn edge of his collar flapped free. Something small and golden tumbled onto the ice.
In which Shane's sharp eyes catch an important detail during a heated match.

Summary
It began to snow when they were about two miles out from the small, nameless town. It was a thin, cutting sleet that chilled clothes and dampened skin and crept through mittens to nip at the fine bones of Miquella's hands.
--In which an Empyrean and his consort take refuge from the cold.

Summary
Two wins away.
That’s all it was supposed to be.
Instead, Game 5 leaves Ilya Rozanov without a spleen, stitched down the center of his abdomen, and watching Game 6 from a hospital bed. But Ilya has never let pain keep him out of the room, and Game 7 is no exception.
A story about fire and precision, about husbands who share leadership and weight, about chosen family, and about the night the Stanley Cup waited while a team said thank you to their captain.

During the intense games up to the Stanley Cup, Ilya gets hurt badly enough to need major surgery. Such an intense and gripping story!

Summary
Shane pats Parker’s shoulder, such a genuine gesture that Ilya wonders where he’s going with this. “Do a favor for me?” He leans in a little closer, physically blocking Parker from seeing Ilya.
“What?”
Shane’s smile fades away. His voice is stern, final when he answers. “Get back to your team, and step the fuck away from my husband?”
He doesn't bother to mince his words. Not tonight, with Ilya being as exhausted as he is, and not with Ilya being uncomfortable. He rarely gets to see him this outwardly protective. He expected Shane to come over, grab his hand and lead him away from the booth with some random excuse. But this—this is Shane losing his patience for all of those manners. His only concern is Ilya.
—a collection of moments where Shane takes care of Ilya during a depressive episode.

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.
