Summary
She falls asleep with her best friend next to her, his hand in hers, stranded on an island in the middle of the Atlantic: no food, no water, no plan, no way to get out.
She thinks briefly, fleetingly, that she kind of wouldn’t mind falling asleep like this forever.
And then she thinks, oh.
or, five times kiara loved jj and one time she said it

Summary
Later, when she tries to remember it, Kiara realizes it comes back in flashes.
She remembers sitting on that ratty old pullout couch, her ukulele in her lap, holding her breath because she was almost positive JJ was about to say what she’d been waiting for him to say for weeks (and, honestly, probably longer).
Then, all of a sudden, whatever spark was between the two of them became the spark that burned down their childhood, turned into flames that licked up the sugar and left only the salt – a sour, bitter taste in all of their mouths, and nothing to chase it with.

“This is–we shouldn’t be–this is a bad idea–this is stu–”
“Stupid things, good outcomes, right?”
“Not like this, Kie,” he shakes his head, “Not like this.”(or, what 304 could've been)

Summary
Ricky’s used to the sounds of November Beach by now. He knows all of the patterns – knows that it’s pretty quiet in the off-season, the easy lull of the waves crashing against the sand, knows the seagulls’ squawks, knows the chime of the bell on the door of the café he lives across from, how it rings every time it opens. The sounds don’t bother him until a random Sunday in February.
This is how every good Sunday night goes. Gina loves the routine. Sitting down next to her dog, half a hip on the windowsill lip beside him is routine. Turning to look out the window and admire the sunset while you enjoy that cupcake you worked so hard for is part of the routine. Locking eyes with the guy in the window across the street, is not.
(or, neighbors in a small coastal town Ricky and Gina get to know each other through their windows)

Summary
“No, my parents–” Shane cuts himself off, darting his eyes away from the road to meet Ilya’s. “They know about you.”
“Yes,” says Ilya, dragging the single syllable and nodding just as slowly. Though Shane’s returned his attention to the highway, he can feel Ilya’s confused stare. “I was in Hollander house, drinking David’s nice vodka and eating Yuna’s good pasta. She is much better cook than you, surely you know this. But yes, I was there, they know I am your boyfriend.”
“Ilya, no, well, I mean yes, but–”
“I am supposed to be one bad with English,” mutters Ilya.
“Are my parents the first people to know you aren’t straight?”
Or, on the car ride home, Shane realizes he isn't the only one who got caught today.

Summary
He only realizes he’s doing it when it’s too late to stop.
He’s standing in the drink aisle of the grocery store, checking the expiration dates on the cans of Coke, mentally cross-checking them with Boston’s away game schedule, and the reality hits him like someone shook one of those cans and popped it open. A snap. A fizz. A mess.
Shane is making space for Ilya.

What If I Can't Close My Eyes Without You In My Head? by theemporium

Summary
Five more minutes, Ilya told himself, fighting the slow, sleepy blinks and the dangerous urge that wanted nothing more than to pull the duvet over the two of them. Five more minutes and then I will go. Hollander is asleep, he can’t bitch about any risks.
Ilya woke up fifteen minutes later, warm and content. He ignored the feeling as he slid out the bed, his chest tightening at the way Shane grabbed the pillow he was sleeping on and tugged it closer. He quickly got dressed, letting his eyes linger on Shane for a few more seconds before quickly slipping out the room.
.
Or, in which it takes a therapy session for Ilya to realise that Shane Hollander is his favourite weighted blanket.

Summary
“Everything about being with Eddie feels right, and good, so so good, Maddie. It’s not timing or logistics, or even—I know he’d say yes if I did ask to move in.”
“But you feel like you can’t?”
Buck shakes his head.
“Because I’m cursed.”
(or, buck needs a loophole. eddie needs to know buck needs a loophole.)
