    Summary

    “Actually I need your help. . . over here.” Ilya adds coyly. Shane shakes his head before he even enters the room, seeing, unsurprisingly, Ilya leaned against the doorframe holding the garland in both hands directly under the mistletoe.

    “Is that so?”

    “Hmm, yes. Yuna said she wanted it on the mantle, and I don’t actually know where that goes.” he adds, sobering a touch with his actual question, but it doesn’t last long. “But I need you to come over here and help me. It is very important. For Christmas.” he adds and starts twirling the end of the garland with one hand.

    (ie. ilya is spending christmas with the hollanders for the first time and shane surprises him with misteltoe and ilya becomes a bit of a menace about it)

    Summary

    “What do you need?” he asks, because he doesn’t know what else to do. “Tell me what to do. I got you, brother.”

    Shane swallows hard. His chest feels like it’s collapsing inward.

    “Call Ilya?” he manages, voice thin. “Please?”

    (ie. set during the long game - shane has a panic attack after a game and ilya helps him)

    Summary

    The Boston Raiders disappear from the afterparty one at a time. Rozanov never made it in the first place.

    ...

    Ilya goes into rut at a charity scrimmage, and Shane has to figure out how to get him somewhere with a bed and plenty of extra sheets without drawing too many eyes. Even Shane himself tries to scrutinize the situation as little as possible, watching it in shadows and mirrors like Ilya's going to turn him to stone if Shane confronts the very real and very precarious position he's gotten himself into.

    Summary

    “She likes to haunt my freezer,” Ilya says, as Shane shuffles out of his Reeboks and into a pair of Ilya’s house slippers.

    It had seemed like a joke, when Ilya first brought it up. Their last morning at the cottage, dropped casually as they scrambled eggs together in the kitchen, a parting gag for the road. Oh, by the way, you know that dead mother I told you about? The one who killed herself and left me to find the body? Yes, okay, so, she is also a ghost and she haunts me. Well, my house, really. No, I am serious, Hollander! I am so serious, Russians do not joke, please! You do not believe me? You do not trust me? Fine. You will come over to my place some time and I will show you. She likes flowers, please bring daffodils.

    Shane brought the daffodils.

    Summary

    “Surprised?” Rozanov asks.

    “There’s nothing – this is nothing,” Shane forces out.

    “Soulmates is something,” Rozanov says.

    “You know you should say Connected Person, not soulmate,” Shane says. “It’s old-fashioned and sugar-coating.”

    Rozanov takes a drag of his cigarette and looks Shane up and down. “Sugar? You think is always sweet and fun?”

    ---

    Shane and Ilya are soulmates. A lot of it is sweet, and some of it is hard.
