    Summary

    When he truly allows himself to consider it, he knows what he must do. That this time, "for the greater good" might be reasonable. So many lie in early graves because of Voldemort — men, women, and children alike. And here he is, offered the chance to change that, to let them all live their lives, to spare Britain and the world of this tragedy. His mind shies away from it — but he can picture it, if he allows himself to. Albus has never cast the killing curse, but he can imagine. It would be so easy, for a wizard of his caliber. Saying the words, pointing the wand, the green light spilling out of its tip…

    No one would question the death of a young orphan boy, in a cold London winter.

    ( — )

    In which Albus gives in to the instincts he has always tried to rise above, and accidentally ends up with the chance to do it all over again, adopting two of history’s worst dark lords along the way. Is Albus’ heart of gold enough to change them, or is a man’s nature set in stone?

    Summary

    Ilya widens his eyes, moves his hands in an impatient “get on with it” motion. He has the urge to say it for him, end both their misery. Shane blinks rapidly a few times, takes another deep breath. “I want to stop,” he says simply.

    Ilya lets out one humorless laugh, “Stop what?”

    Shane ignores him. “At the All Star Game, I told you I liked you. And you said about Russia and your family. And I looked some things up. I get it. I get it better now. I know we can’t but I can’t stop wanting to be…more. Unless we stop.”

    OR

    Shane just wants to be friends and Ilya is, like, fine with that or whatever

    Summary

    At that moment, Ilya knew he was hallucinating, and that he’d hit his head a lot harder than he thought.

    Because here was Shane fucking Hollander— in his fucking kitchen, wearing his fucking clothes. He was making borscht.

    “What the fuck,” Ilya croaked.

    (Ilya takes a rough hit. Shane is there to take care of him.)

    Summary

    “What is there to talk about?”

    “What’s there to talk about?!” Hollander scoffed, shaking his head. “You’re playing for my fucking team!”

    “I know.”

    “Why did you have to go and get traded?! You realise we’re going to have to see each other every day from now on, and play together, and-”

    “Yes,” Ilya interrupted. He didn’t want to know how long Hollander’s list was. “I know.”

    Hollander took a deep breath. “Okay, listen,” he said. “Just so we’re clear - we don’t know each other outside of playing against each other, right?”

    “Right.”

    “And we can’t- can’t hook up anymore.”

    OR: Ilya gets traded to Montreal in October 2014. He's lonely, and angry, and he misses Boston. He doesn't know if it helps that Hollander is there or not.
