    Summary

    There was nothing standard about Shane and Ilya's relationship, so it really shouldn't have been so surprising that they had their first date over a decade after meeting each other.

    It also shouldn't be surprising that it took roughly five minutes before it turned into a competition.

    Summary

    “You know you don’t have to do this,” Harris said as they walked from the car to the arena, Chiron prancing along in front of them.

    “I’m doing it,” Troy said.

    “Okay. But you don’t have to.”

    “Harris. I’ll survive reading whatever weird, dirty tweets you found,” Troy argued. “You think I’ve never seen thirst tweets?”

     

    In which the Centaurs read thirst tweets and it goes about how you'd expect.

    Summary

    When Shane was displeased with Ilya, there was a certain intensity in his speech that called to Ilya like a siren song, dragging him to an early grave with its vehemence. His voice would pitch higher, bossy and prissy and so stridently righteous it should be intolerable.

    But Ilya was, for all intents and purposes, a whore. And nothing made him harder than his husband putting him in his place.

    Summary

    Shane is still learning that he doesn't have to be perfect in his own relationship. Ilya is still learning the rules of Shane's bad days. So when Shane tries to push him away after a crushing loss, it leads to a tense argument. But ten years of rivalry are no match for Shane’s tears; the second he starts to cry, Ilya folds like a house of cards.

    Or: Shane tries to starve himself as punishment for losing, Ilya tries to feed him, and it turns into a very soft night of pampering because Ilya is legally incapable of staying angry at a crying Shane.

    Summary

    Hayden cuts himself off at the sound of something he hears so rarely, he’s almost sure he’s imagining it. He scans the room, looking for the source, and sure enough, his eyes land on his target. 

    There, nestled in between two of his teammates on the couch, is Shane Hollander. 

    Laughing. Out loud. Audibly. 

    Like, he’s actually fucking laughing, not the fake laughs he forces out to make other people more comfortable. In fact, he’s laughing so hard, he looks like he might cry, and Hayden would be delighted by the sight of it if he weren’t so fucking concerned. Shane Hollander doesn’t laugh at parties. Shane Hollander barely laughs when he’s actually happy, and he’s never happy at parties. So what gives? 

    Or:

    Shane Hollander accidentally gets very high. That's it, that's the fic.

    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.

    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.

    Summary

    Tim curled into Jonny's arms, leaning into him.
    Jonny smiled to himself, pulling Tim a bit closer.
    Tim rested his forehead on Jonny's shoulder, and Jonny knew he was laughing.
    Not by the sound, but by the fact he could feel it. The slight shake of laughter so different from a terrified tremble.
    He was happy, sitting here. Happy with Tim. Happy on Aurora. Happy.

     

    Tim and Jonny talk. Jonny gets emotional because he's happy, and that's new. Then tim reveals Ashes is probably going to kill him later, and tries to rope Jonny into being a diversion.

    Summary

    His living heart had hurt, and the new one felt strange: he could feel the clockwork and the gears in his chest where there had once been nothing but messily squeezing muscle, and at that first tickticktick he felt the sick swooping rightness of it so strongly that every moment on either side of it went white with euphoria.

    Linear memory's overrated, anyway.

    Summary

    If there was one thing Nastya's kid brother didn't need, it was to be told that he was a god. But here he was, wrapped in dark leather with makeup lines of black lightning spiderwebbing across his face, surrounded by a massive crowd of worshipful enablers.

    (Every ninety years eight gods return as young people. They are loved. They are hated. In two years, they are all dead. It's happening now. It's happening again.)

    Summary

    People don't really touch Jonathan Sims unless they want to hurt him. That's mostly fine. Jon has never been a tactile person, and he doesn't need anyone but himself.

    Except the world is falling down around him, and loneliness aches, and sometimes he'll take anything - even cruelty - just to feel human again.

    *A story set between s1 and s4, looking at Jon's relationship with touch, friendship, and his own humanity.

    Martin makes Jon tea for the first time about a week into his transfer. It’s horrible. Gag-reflex inducing. Somehow sporting all the wrong flavors.

    For some reason, he does not have the heart to break this to Martin.

    Little does Jon know that Martin actually makes wonderful tea. Just not for him.

    Summary

    Honestly, it made sense that anger was the first to return. It had been the last to leave him. The thing he had clung to until the moment Peter had flung him out of reality and onto that beach.

    Jon and Martin deal with the aftermath of The Lonely and learn that there are consequences to pissing off an eldritch power.

    Summary

    “Could you … I mean …” Jon feels heat rising to his face. “Do that again?”

     

    Georgie barks out a laugh, giving him a playful shove. At his expression she stops laughing. “Really?”

    “… yeah.” Jon looks down at his arm. The mark is fading fast, it was only a joke after all. He’s been silly.

    “Ok. Let’s do this properly then.” Georgie scoots closer to him and takes his face in her hands. “Didn’t think you were the vampire type, Mr. Sims,” she lowers her voice, still teasing, but a little daring now, full of promise.

    Summary

    Or, five times Jon makes Martin a promise, and one time he keeps it.

    ---

    "Normally, in a situation like this, I'd advise you to split up, travel separately," says Basira. Before either of them have a chance to argue, she holds up a hand. "But for obvious reasons, that's a terrible idea right now. So. Keep an eye on each other. Don't make any scenes. Don't go off alone, and don't let each other go off alone." Her voice goes wobbly again at the end of that sentence.

    Jon nods seriously and glances up at Martin, whose face is pink. He can't seem to decide whether to meet Jon's eye or look at the floor. "We won't," says Jon, and his words have the weight of a promise. "We'll stay together."
