Summary
“Ilya, what are we gonna do?” Shane says.
Ilya finishes whatever he has been doing on his phone, and tosses it gently to the bed beside him. He crosses the room to Shane, stands in front of him, squeezes into his shoulders with his big hands, rubbing them like he means to warm them up.
“Looks like we will have a little vacation,” he says, with a big obnoxious grin.
Boston and Montreal are sent to Paris to play against each other in an exhibition series in January 2017. Ilya and Shane decide to stay in Paris for one more night. Just one more night, so they can talk. Maybe finally understand each other.
They aren't expecting a volcano to erupt in Iceland and close all the airspace in Europe, leaving them stranded there. Together.

Summary
Buck doesn’t think that if he were to say, “I’m in a bad place”, that anyone would turn him away. Really, he doesn’t. The 118 has too many good, kind people for that.
But every time he wants to open his mouth, to say something, to reach out to Eddie or Bobby or Hen or Chim, he hears Eddie yelling, “you’re exhausting.”
—you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting—
So each day he does his job and he laughs and he jokes and he pretends he’s the care-free goofball he’s always been. And each day he packs away his bruises and his worries, takes them home to his empty loft with its quiet rooms, and licks his wounds in silence.

The news also came as an incredible shock to Ilya when he awoke that same day, hungover and bleary, but very much alive.

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
They eat. They talk. They laugh. It’s all the same, but the picture they assemble out of the pieces this time turns out different.
Eddie smiles around a mouthful of his burger, his eyes not leaving Buck’s face for a second. Buck’s knee is pressed warm between his own, while his other leg, the one that never really forgot the crushing weight of the ladder truck, is stretched out under the table, claiming space, unapologetic.
Buck catches a drop of sauce sliding down his chin and licks it off his finger, not breaking eye contact.
Eddie has that sudden, vivid urge to grab Buck’s wrist, pull his hand to his mouth, clean it for him instead – and the thought itself isn’t what surprises him. It’s the fact that for the first time in his life it doesn’t send him scrambling for cover. It just… sits there. Simple. Allowed.
Or,
Life finally hands you everything you ever wanted – start looking for a catch.Series
