    Summary

    “I can always play poker,” Hollander says, far slower than he’d recited the stats. “What are you playing?”

    “Durak,” Ilya says when the others just look expectantly at him.

    After a beat, Hollander seems to muster up his courage. “Can I join?”


    Or: Five times people learn the still waters of one Shane Hollander hide a veritable card shark, and one time Ilya gets to see a different side.

    Summary

    When Ilya Rozanov discovers The Sims 4, he does what any reasonable person would do, creates himself, creates Shane Hollander, builds a perfect house from memory, and begins fixing the situation.
    This includes (but is not limited to) trapping Shane’s ex-girlfriend in a windowless room because she “kept escaping the pool.” and having Scott Hunter in his true form(i.e. in the Elder age stage).Shane wakes up at four-thirty in the morning with several concerns.
    -----------
    When Luca Haas(the person who introduced sims to Ilya) does not answer questions fast enough, Ilya turns to reddit and Tumblr, gaining a following who are slowly realizing some coincidences.

    Summary

    Shane and Ilya's first photoshoot post-coming out. It goes as well as you'd expect it to.

    ___

    Then Ilya whispers, right into the shell of his ear, “Now we look like penguins.”

    And it’s not at all what he expected to hear. He makes a strangled sound, his hands flying down to cover Ilya’s own on his waist. “What?”

    Ilya rocks them side to side, small and deliberate, like they’re waddling. “Penguins are romantic. They mate for life. You are my penguin.”

    Summary

    The queer NHL players (begrudgingly) unite via group chats in the face of social media scandals.

    These stories take place on a (slightly loose) chronological timeline and make the most sense when read in order. However, they're all independent stories/scandals and can be read as standalones.

    All stories take place post TLG and include spoilers for the books.
