Summary
The first sound Ilya hears is a thin, discordant symphony of beeps and whirs. Something vibrating.
The next thing he hears is…wet. A sort of shaking, gargling sound, that feels like the ugliest crying he’s ever heard. And through it, Shane’s voice.
“I’m with him now, mom. He’s— he’s not fine. He’s not. I know—”
Ilya wants to ask who's not fine, but he can’t feel his own body, his mouth, enough to ask.
“Yeah,” Shane is saying, only slightly calmer. “I know. He wasn’t breathing—"
Ilya knows there's a link, between the clinical musicality of medical settings, Shane’s audible, awful distress, and his own physical incapacity. It’s just, it’s so tenuous, and the air around him is so thick, so heavy. It would be easy, to sleep, a little.

Footage of the last game between Ottawa and Montreal is everywhere; it’s breached containment from the sports world, and now it seems like everyone is baying for Montreal’s blood. Except, Ilya is oblivious. Not exactly blissfully so, but as the fight for accountability within the league rages on without him, Ilya just wants someone, anyone, to tell him what happened.- Language:

Summary
“Did you like them? My parents?”
Ilya squints at him. “I love them,” he says simply, like it should be obvious. “They’re your parents.”
But, Shane thinks idly, there's a difference, isn't there, between loving them and liking them?
(5 times Shane thinks Ilya doesn't like his parents and 1 time he finds out the truth)

Summary
Indeed, the man would sometimes debrief Steve after! A glint in his eye, merry, as he asked if he thought Dr Owens or his five thousand pounds a year was more handsome, and Steve had all but choked upon his reply that Dr Owens was indeed handsome, regardless of his income!
“Hmm,” Sir Hopper had intoned that evening, teeth around his cigarillo as he puffed the heady scent of tobacco into the air. “I myself find the pounds comely rather than my dear friend (who himself would be the first to say it, so do not make such a face, young sir), but to each their own. Either way, he’s much too old for you.”
“I do not find myself concerned overmuch with such things,” Steve had tried to demure, for he had not wished to seem ungrateful for what introductions into the society of Devonshire and its surrounds Sir Hopper did offer.
Sir Hopper had snorted, ungainly in his amusement, and tapped his temple. He’d said, “I shall keep that in mind, then. Still: six and thirty years between you is too much. Five and ten, however, is much more agreeable to my delicate sensibilities. What say you to that?”
Or: an Omegaverse Regency AU inspired by Sense and Sensibility.
