    Summary

    Shane and Ilya broke up. It was the adult, mature decision they made together and moved on from. Except Shane is still Ilya's emergency contact and Ilya's coach just called.

    Ilya had a seizure. Well, seizures. Multiple. He is in the hospital, in the operation block and suddenly Shane is met with the possibility that last words Ilya Rozanov ever heard from him were "Maybe love isn't enough."

    And then complications occur. And Ilya is not waking up.

    ***

    They’d sat on a perfectly ordinary Wednesday afternoon in their perfectly ordinary kitchen, with coffee that had gone cold on the table between them, and calmly dismantled the life they’d built together. One sentence at a time.

    “Maybe we need space.” “Maybe we’re just hurting each other.” “Maybe love isn’t enough.”

    He wants to go back and shove that version of himself against the wall. Shake him until his teeth rattle.

    Love is the only thing that matters when someone is under general anaesthesia and a stranger is touching their brain, Shane thinks wildly. Love is literally the only currency worth anything in a room like this.

    Summary

    Hayden Pike has a babysitting emergency, and no one else to call.

    Shane Hollander would take the kids, if not for his mysterious houseguest.

    Boston Lily, apparently, would be more than happy to help Shane watch the kids.

    Too bad Hayden isn't going to leave his children in a house with someone he’s never met.

    Summary

    Now, Sieun does not like running. He avoids it whenever possible. Running is a tiring, useless activity. It also makes his lungs burn and his legs ache in ways he dislikes deeply. But Suho is rolling downhill. So Sieun runs. He sprints past Baku, who barely has time to register the murderous look sent his way.

    “If he dies,” Sieun says calmly as he passes, “I will kill you.”

    Baku trips.
