    Summary

    There's nothing concrete of her yet—just a feeling, a popping into existence of her soul that swells nebulously above the ground. Still, she knows something better is to come of her yet. Someone has called her forth for a greater purpose, and she is satisfied with that knowledge alone. She can wait to find out more. She's the quiet, patient sort.

    Shane and Ilya's life together as seen through the eyes of Shane's Cottage.

    Summary

    Ilya has always been reluctant to let anyone in, to talk about his past, yet Shane keeps prying, keeps looking for a way in from the cold. Little does Shane know, it’s cold inside, too.

    It’s not until Ilya visits him at the cottage that he can finally let go enough to talk about his past, which sets off a domino effect, triggering memories from some of the worst days of his life. Lucky for Ilya, he's not alone anymore, and Shane knows how to build a fire.

    Snapshots of Ilya’s past, inspired by the song I’ll Tell You Everything, by Mumford & Sons.

    Summary

    “The first time we hooked up,” Shane starts, “you pretended you were going to leave after I made you come.” Ilya’s hand stills, still tangled in Shane’s hair, much longer now than it had been back then. Shane presses on quickly, not wanting to give Ilya any time to misinterpret where this is going. “You said you would never leave me like that.” The sentence sticks in Shane’s throat, making his mouth gummy and dry the same way as being double shifted during a game they can’t afford to lose. Shane can’t afford to lose this, either. Somewhere against his scalp he feels the faintest hum, a bid to keep going. “What if…” he has to swallow again, thickly, “what if I wanted you to?”

    After a devastating loss in the Stanley Cup playoffs, where the Centaurs got so close they could almost taste the victory before the ice cracked underneath their feet, Shane needs help getting out of his own head. Ilya is happy to help.
