    Summary

    Life feels so chaotic for Shane sometimes, with all the loud noises and the unwritten rules he’s expected to follow, even though no one ever taught them to him. It’s why the bookstore feels more like home to him than anywhere else in Boston. It doesn’t ask Shane to be anything other than himself. Doesn’t ask for any more than he can give.

    He can just exist here.

    Shane likes slow, likes taking his time. And Ilya - without saying or doing anything in particular - makes Shane feel like that’s okay. Like he isn’t doing anything wrong by standing still sometimes.

    (Or, Shane works in a bookstore, Ilya plays hockey, and they both go to the same college. They fall in love in every universe.)

    Summary

    Shane didn’t anticipate being literally swept off his feet when he volunteered for an Ottawa’s first responders drill, but maybe he should’ve expected it.

    Summary

    “Yeah, Shane Hollander is a bloodhound for queer people and just spilled his little gay guts to the fucking bisexual terminator in the middle of a training exercise.”

    “I confirm Shane Hollander did not tell me anything about boyfriend at the warehouse. But he did tell me he was single when we went on a date.”

    Every head in the room snaps towards Rozanov, expressions ranging from confusion to utter disbelief.

    “A date? No fucking way.”

    “Yes, is true. I am Shane Hollander’s boyfriend.”

     

    or

    5 times Ilya’s colleagues at the firehouse don’t believe him about his new boyfriend Shane Hollander and 1 time they have no choice but to believe him.
