    Summary

    “Okay. Do you… Do you think you can talk to anyone about this? Even if it wasn’t me?” Ilya inquired. He brushed the tip of his nose against Shane’s upper arm and rested his head against it. Obviously Ilya would love it if Shane opened up and talked to him about it but he figured if Shane wouldn’t talk to him maybe he could talk to someone else. Maybe a therapist, or his parents or Rose or… Hayden. As much as Ilya disliked the idea of Shane going to Hayden to talk about his problems instead of him, it was better than to keep it all inside.

    Shane shrugged at the idea. “I don’t feel like I could talk to anyone about this…” His eyes were open now and glassy. He swallowed hard as he avoided looking at Ilya.

    OR; Shane is hiding something from Ilya... from everyone. And Ilya is worried sick.

    Summary

    “I love you, Ilya—you know you can tell me anything, right?” 
    Ilya wasn’t quite yet ready to hold eye contact, so he spoke into the room. “I think I’m getting bad again.”
    “Depressive episode?” It was obvious, but Shane always needed to ask specifically.
    “Yes.”
    Shane braced himself before asking more. “Were you… having dark thoughts? Is that what made you cry?”
    “Yes… I’m so sorry.” Admitting it made the tears well up again.
    Ilya’s husband squeezed him harder and lightly grabbed a fistful of his hair. 
    “It’s okay sweetheart, shh. I’m not mad at you, okay? It’s just your brain being mean to you. This isn’t your fault.”

    ------

    Ilya is falling into a depressive episode and experiences passive suicidal thoughts. Shane helps him through a difficult moment.

    Summary

    And wasn’t Ilya a burden?
    “You would be better off. Without me,” he said, the words almost lost in his shirt as he dipped his chin. But Shane heard him. He always did.
    He jerked upright and turned his body to face Ilya, his hand suddenly gripping his thigh tightly.
    “What? Ilya, no. No way. Why would you think that?”

    Summary

    “Is just the new routine, okay?” Ilya pleaded, his voice breaking. “The pills were working and now there is more stress so I just need to get used to it and will be fixed, okay?”

    “How bad is it?”

    “Shane, please.”

    “Ilya, you promised no more secrets, no more hiding. How bad?”

    He covered his face in his palms, his elbows resting on his knees, and took in a shuddered breath. “...bad.”

     

    OR

    Summary

    “Nine one one, what is the location of your emergency?”

    “Hello, does this record messages?”

    “Yes, sir. Is everything okay?”

    Ilya thought of his mother. This must have been exactly how his mother had felt years ago. All alone, desperate for peace, and willing to do anything to get the pain to stop. Then it hit him. He had a way to quiet his mind.

    Summary

    Following the move to Ottawa, Ilya is struggling to keep his head above water. The Centaurs seem incapable of winning, his house is still half-unpacked at best, and Shane is two hours away in Montreal.

    In the months that follow, Ilya hits low after low, struggling with his newly-diagnosed depression. David and Yuna do their best to be there for him while distance is still keeping Shane and Ilya apart.

    Summary

    "Ilya," David grasps his shoulders firmly. "Stop. Look at me."

    It's another second until he does, red-rimmed and glassy eyes blinking open, searching David's face carefully, fearfully. It hits David like a gut-punch then, how young Ilya looks in this moment, how small despite his towering, broad frame. How his hands tremble and clench at his sides like a child awaiting punishment. David can only hope that the heartbreak doesn't show on his face. 

    Or

    Shane had called just after midnight. He hadn’t heard from Ilya in two days before suddenly getting a call that, though he won’t explain what it was, terrifies him enough to have him beg David to go check on Ilya at one in the morning.

    “I don’t know, dad. I think something is really wrong. Please just go check.” 

    David doesn’t know what the call contained, or what Shane thinks David will find, but either way he’s here on the gravel driveway in front of the massive, barren house half an hour later. The front door is wide open.

    His oldest survival instinct immediately overrides everything else: protect the person you love.

    Dropping to his knees to take a blow that isn't coming, Ilya lays his deepest, most heavily guarded trauma completely bare on the living room floor.

    tw: vomiting due to panic attack, panic attacks in general, brief discussion of homophobia, brief references to Charlie's ED/mental illness, just lots of crying (please let me know if I should add anything to this list)

    “Um, babe?” Charlie asks, picking up the box, “what’s this?”

    Nick looks over, and sure enough, Charlie is holding the box that Nick’s vape came in. “Shit,” he whispers, walking over to his boyfriend. He runs his hands through his red hair, “that’s um…my…um…” he stammers, afraid of Charlie’s reaction. “I bought a vape?” It came out more like a question than a statement.

    Summary

    What Nick wants is for Charlie to ring him up asking to meet someplace where they can apologize to each other and kiss and make up and know each other again. If Charlie could just know what the past year has been like for Nick—could know him and accept him in spite of all of Nick’s absolute bullshit, not just the way things ended but how everything crumbled apart after—

    But that’s never going to happen. And if Nick can’t have it on his terms, well, it would be safer not to have it at all.

    But he’s getting ahead of himself here. Let’s back up.

    You’ve seen this story before: the boys stay broken up at the end of the Nick and Charlie novella, then meet again after some time apart. But here’s the twist: during the year in between, Nick’s whole life falls apart, and he’s diagnosed with bipolar disorder. When he finally comes face-to-face with the person whose loss triggered Nick’s breakdown—well, you’ll see.
