    Summary

    The first thing that people notice when they look at Ilya is the way that the word disappointment carves itself in jagged, angry letters along his jawline. This is not the worst mark he bears—it’s just the most visible.

    (In which the most hurtful things your soulmate has thought about themself appear as words cut into your body. Shane and Ilya find reasons to love each other anyway.)

    Summary

    Shane fussed over Ilya after he got out of the lake. "You're going to freeze."

    “I will not freeze." Ilya allowed Shane to wrap a towel around his shoulders. "I used to get locked outside in winter sometimes. No jacket."

    “What?” The tone confused him; it was light, almost joking.

    Ilya nodded, eyebrows up, like he was just mentioning a boring detail. “Sometimes with snow too.”

    Shane went still, shaken by the casual way Ilya said it.

     
    Or, the Hollanders slowly learn the reality of Ilya's upbringing.

    Summary

    Ilya refused to break his eye contact. He saw Shane’s anger, the fire behind his eyes, it was all too familiar. Shane continued talking, “I need you-” He pointed at Ilya, his hand just inches from Ilya’s face. Ilya flinched aggressively but refused to break eye contact.

    “Do it,” Ilya said through his teeth, cutting Shane off.

    Shane faltered, “What are…” his eyes scanned Ilyas face. Realization hit him like a truck. He quickly stumbled back away from his husband.

    Shane doesn't realize how Ilyas PTSD affects him and takes a fight too far
