    Summary

    It’s been a year and a half since Team Plasma attacked the Pokémon League, and Ranger Lena Winifred is finally starting to feel like things are going back to normal. Sure, Unova’s in a power struggle, the International Police keeps strong-arming the Ranger Union out of incidents, and Unova’s savior Hilbert disappeared without a trace, but the region’s healing and Lena’s finally starting to move on from her own repressed trauma.

    But when Lena gets a Quest to investigate a missing child in Accumula Town, she didn’t think she’d be adding discovering extinct Pokémon, managing international politics, and protecting a child who seems to know too much to her job description.

    But duty calls, and Lena is not going to fail again.

    Summary

    “Go?” Rozanov repeats, and Shane thinks he manages to nod, thinks he manages to spin some kind of excuse that he knows Rozanov doesn’t really buy, but he needs to go. He needs to get out of here. He needs to find somewhere quiet and calm where he can ride out this panic and painful tightness until he can catch his breath again. He needs-

    He needs to go.

    “I’m sorry,” he says, turning heel and resisting the urge to just book it right for the front door only because he’d rather not have to explain to Hayden why he returned from a hookup with Boston Lily in men’s clothes that he certainly didn’t leave in.

    It’s not until he makes it halfway up the stairs to Rozanov’s bedroom that it occurs to him in a cold rush that it isn’t just anxiety that makes it this hard to breathe.

    “No,” he tells himself firmly, white knuckling the bannister and trying to take a deep breath just to prove that he can.

    It wheezes.

    Summary

    It does mean missing out on things like barbeques and team dinners sometimes, but it’s not as if he would have been able to participate anyway. At this point in his life, risking someone not taking his allergies seriously would mean potentially missing games, which makes it unacceptable. Jackie always makes sure he has a dish or two that’s safe when he’s over at their house, but if he was going to be the one guy sitting and drinking ginger ale instead of taking part in sharing nachos or Korean barbeque or burgers or any other delicious thing he goes in knowing he can’t have anyway, there’s no point in making a fuss about it. He eats at home, has a drink with everyone else, and he calls it a day. Easy. Safe. Foolproof.

    But also the reason it doesn’t occur to him that he hasn’t actually told Ilya about any of his allergies until it becomes immediately relevant five days into being at his cottage together.

    Summary

    In 2007, Shane Hollander pathetically falls in unrequited love. It’s the biggest mistake of his life.

    In the years that follow, it becomes almost easy to pretend Ilya Rozanov never really existed at all.

    In 2014, Ilya Rozanov signs with the Toronto Guardians. He's determined to make Shane remember exactly what he once felt, but seems to have forgotten the many ways in which he ruined Shane Hollander's life.

    Summary

    Shane was fourteen the first time a number felt like safety.

    The nutritionist worked out of an office in Kanata, framed certificates, a calm voice, laminated charts with columns. She explained it simply: fuel in, output required, timing of each. She said it was a starting point.

    Shane took notes in the margins the way he took notes on everything—completely, past what was required. Yuna had found the nutritionist herself, sat beside him, and took notes too.

    Like mother, like son.

    -

    Or: Shane’s system works until it doesn’t; Ilya notices first.

    Fic centered around Shane's disordered eating and his relationship with Yuna which results in two very difficult fights. Has some lovely writing and motifs.
