    Summary

    “Maman, Baba, look!” he had announced, toothy grin stretched ear to ear, “friend!”

    Abtin and Faranak had shared a glance between them for a moment before it clicked.

    “Oh, my dear little light, that is your seelie,” Faranak had said gently, pulling Kaveh’s joined hands into her own. “Only you can see it, and I’m sure it looks most wonderful.”

    “That little seelie is linked to your soul’s betrothed, my son. Everything they feel will reflect in that fairy’s wisps.” Abtin patted Kaveh on the shoulder, a grin matching Kaveh’s own on his lips. “So study it well, so that you can learn all about your future love.”

    “Yes, Baba!”

    Summary

    Each day, Kaveh is transferred to a different parallel reality, and in every single one of those, he and Alhaitham are together:

    Waking up in Alhaitham’s arms felt more familiar on the third day. By the fourth, it was fully expected and, by the fifth, he found himself snuggling into those warm arms and sometimes smiling at the “Good morning, sweetheart,” before reminding himself of the situation and sitting down a very confused Alhaitham for a very confusing conversation. It’s not you he loves, he reminded himself, time and time again.

    Summary

    Four times Ilya Rozanov reminded everyone exactly who the fuck they were dealing with (spoiler: still an asshole, still elite, still not going anywhere), and one time he didn’t have to be anything except soft.

    Or being out didn’t make him nicer. Being married didn’t make him softer. Being older didn’t make him weaker. And being a father? Well. That’t when things get complicated.

    (He’s really good at that last part. Don’t tell anyone.)

    Summary

    His father would accuse him of being weak, of letting his heart lead him to stupid places. But for once in his life, Ilya can’t bring himself to care about this. He wants Shane. He wants to coax his boyfriend into ordering takeout from that place they like around the corner from Ilya’s apartment and cheating on his diet a little. Then he wants to blow him on the couch, and he wants Shane to ride him. They can shower afterwards and put some highlights on the TV before falling asleep and ignoring Shane’s alarm the next morning. He wants the peace they had at the cottage during the season, to steal those moments and get to exhale.

    Sarah
    Does anyone have the number for Shane's girl from Boston? I feel bad that they've been seeing each other for this long and we've never added her here.

    Jackie
    Oh good point! Let me ask Hayden.

    Jackie has added Lily to the conversation

    Lily

    Or: Ilya Rozanov is, apparently, one of the girls.
