    Summary

    Grace, question?

    His tone is patient, the chords of his words simplified so that I can definitely understand him without my laptop-translator-rig. See, he’s just considerate like that.

    No one in all the Earth Sci-Fi stories and movies tells you that the aliens will be kind.

    Another tap of his arm. Sad thoughts?

    “Sad thoughts.” I concede. No point lying to someone who can hear your heartbeat.

    Hm.

    I’m proud of myself for identifying the note as a thinking sound, a filler word. I gotta say, my foray into exolinguistics has been an excellent distraction from the general misery that is my now-mostly-remembered-life.

    Do you want to talk about it?

    ----

    Some overdue conversations . Time spent together on the way back to Erid re-opens some old (and some fresh) wounds.

    Summary

    There's something floating in the Eridian atmosphere.

    It's been sending out some kind of transmission that the Eridans can't make sense of, even with the help of Saviour Grace the transmission makes no sense.

    When the ship finally touches down, Grace steps off.

    Which is strange, considering Grace had gone with them to greet the newcomers.

    Summary

    ❝ Between the trunks of trees in your favorite cluster, two boys surge forth straight to you. They're grinning almost wickedly, but your first instinct is to look around to see if they made another clever getaway or if—

    There. Sylus is unmistakable even from the distance he maintains, thumbs hooked into his pockets and his expression neutral. He wears a fresh suit in his typical fashion: dressed down and less crisp than you assume it was when he put it on this morning, complete with the park-safe sneakers. ❞

    Summary

    "I did not realize until you got here, how much they do not realize what a Montreal locker room actually sounds like."

    --or, a slight A/U where Shane didn't stay in Montreal after the cottage just because he wanted to or because he thought it was expected of him and those years after he came out to his team had been worse than he lets on

    ---OR, Shane acquires a Russian duckling, finally sets the record straight with his man, goes full 'protect the rookie' mode when his duckling is checked during a game in Montreal, and learns how to be part of a team again (in that order)

    Summary

    Shane sighed with relief as the doors of the elevator closed. Whoever was in the hall probably didn’t see him. He would figure out how to move past the humiliation of sending that text message to Ilya. But first, he needed to get back to the safety of his hotel room. 

    “That was close,” Shane murmured to himself and slumped against the wall. 

    The doors of the elevator opened again. 

    Shane straightened at the sight of Ilya Rozanov, wearing nothing but an unbuttoned pair of slacks, his golden chain, and a phone in his hand. 

    [OR Ilya realized he made a mistake letting Shane go after their hookup in Vegas. As he's rushing to find Shane, he receives a text message from Shane that reads: We didn’t even kiss.]

    Summary

    The ice made sense. His blades cut through clear glass and chipped snow. Warm ups calmed him enough that he didn't even freak out when Rozanov approached him.

    “Strange," he said as he made lazy circles around where Shane was stretching out his thighs.

    After a beat, he knew Rozanov was waiting for him to take the conversational bait. “What's strange?"

    “We have never been on the same side of the blue line before."

    He was bracing for a chirp, so this plain statement threw him off. "Yeah, I guess.”

    "Do you think they know?”

    "That we're on the same team?”

    "That we're going to destroy them.” Rozanov stalled his restless circles to lock eyes with Shane, and the whole arena fell away. "You and me, we will be incredible.”

     

    Or, Shane and Ilya are not soulmates, they just have really, really good sex.

    Summary

    “Is it so hard to believe that I assumed at least one of you would take my side? That one of the men I call family would believe in me? That someone would fight for me? Say no, Arthur would never kill Merlin?” His voice began rising, agony taking over his need to shut his body down. “Is it so hard to believe?” he yelled into the otherwise quiet forest. “That I wanted someone to take my side? That someone would love me first?” Arthur tore his gaze away from Leon, “that I wanted one person in this whole fucking kingdom to love me?”

    Or
    Arthur saw Merlin use his magic and has to deal with realizing every one of his most trusted knights -his family- all believed that he would kill Merlin.

    Summary

    Maybe none of it meant anything.
    Maybe they were reading too much into things that had never been meant for them at all.
    Maybe Robert simply felt confident enough to treat them differently. It didn’t mean he cared about them. Not the way they wanted him to.
    But hope, once it found a place to settle, had a way of digging in its heels. And if the Z-Team had grown good at anything over the years, it was clinging to the smallest flecks of it.
    They didn't know when Robert had stopped looking at them like a bunch of rowdies, but Prism was the first one to notice.

    Or; Robert fell first, but the team fell harder

    Summary

    Robert thought that his life couldn't get any more stressful.

    He was wrong. Very very wrong, and it was only the beginning of his lifelong troubles.

    But maybe he could have a couple of shiny consolation prizes at the end, if he played his cards right and didn't fold.

    Summary

    “Morning Team.”

    There’s a string of groans, someone curses; and it feels like he’d interrupted something, but the first call comes in; and there’s no time to piece together the conversation that was happening beforehand. Even if there’s a low pang of ill placed rejection sticking to the inside of his throat.

    Yeah, great day.

    Baby steps. Robert breathes harshly through his noise and regrets it when the entire office floods his senses; swallows a mouthful of bile and snips back at Invisigal, bitches at Flambae, and sends Golem to un-fuck someone's fuck up. Tries not to choke on his instincts and lets both his knees go numb.

    Robert's always been a Omega, it's not a point of pride, it's not a point of contention. He just is.
    After putting Shroud back behind bars, Robert returns to his new post coma normal: pretending nothing is wrong, orbiting the Z-Team, pretending the group of unruly Alpha's aren't his pack. Pushing himself past his already stretched thin limits.

    Robert's body demands a break.

    And it's going to get one, whether he wants it or not.

    The Z-Team do their best to pick up the pieces in the aftermath, in their own way.

    Summary

    Sanji looks up and sees a monster standing over him.

    His monster.

    Anyone else in the world would see this and feel something bad. Terrified, frozen in fear or disgust even. Not the way Sanji feels. Sanji feels warm. Light even. He feels so safe.

    “You’re mine Sanji.” Zoro rumbles "You’re ours.”

    That should be concerning. Probably. But all Sanji can only think one thing when Zoro says it.

    Yes.

    or

    Sanji is enjoying this island, shopping and enjoying his partner's company. Until he gets captured by some no name bounty hunters. It's no big deal really, Sanji can get out by himself but it's nice knowing someone will always be there for him.

    “I mean yeah, it stung a little that it felt like you just wanted to fuck me and be over with it, but I was used to that.” Shane starts explaining.

    “Your limit is five, choose wisely.”

    Shane hands Ilya his phone, and revels in the gorgeous sight of Ilya’s face lighting up; a picture he could never get accustomed with.

    He really hopes he doesn’t regret this.

    or, Ilya enjoys gaming, which there's nothing wrong with that. However, when he asks for Shane's phone at practice, it raises some concerns amongst the Centaur's.

    Summary

    “Ever since we stopped and made camp, I’ve noticed reactions Merlin has been having. He was tense when he returned from collecting wood with Elyan, he flinched when Gwaine held the torch just barely close to his face, he froze and moved away when Percival patted him on the back, and he called Leon ‘Sir’. He’s had all of these reactions to them only, not to you or me, but we weren’t there with them. He only reacted to me when I grabbed him. Something happened. Someone touched him or burned him or hurt him in some way, and I have a feeling that it has something to do with them.” The last word came out with venom.
    Or a post Lamia fix-it because we all love to make the knights apologize.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is going to murder his agent.

    And he means that literally. Because his agent is the reason he’s currently wearing a hot mic during Hockey Night in Canada. Against the Ottawa Centaurs. Against Ilya.

    Ilya, who has no filter. Ilya, who thinks workplace professionalism is a hilarious suggestion for other people. Ilya, who has spent a decade perfecting the art of saying absolutely unhinged things to Shane on the ice, safe in the knowledge that nobody can hear him.

    Ilya, who definitely doesn’t know about the microphone.

    What follows is sixty minutes of Shane’s life flashing before his eyes while his secret boyfriend enthusiastically discusses their sex life, their broken furniture, and exactly what he wants to do to Shane after the game — all broadcast to millions of viewers.

    The problem? Shane can’t get a word in edgewise to warn him.

    Summary

    The internet has decided that Ilya Rozanov is absolutely, definitely, 100% banging a Hollander.

    They’ve got photo evidence. Multiple sightings. Instagram stories from the same café. The man stayed OVERNIGHT at the Hollander residence.

    It’s the most legendary power move in NHL history: seduce your rival’s hot mom to assert dominance. There’s just one tiny problem with this theory. Ilya’s fucking a Hollander, all right. Just … not that one.

    Or in which Ilya’s boyfriend's mother keeps adopting him, the internet keeps assuming the worst, and Shane Hollander is having the worst month of his entire life. At least until he does something that breaks hockey forever.
