Ilya has always known Shane could do better than him. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that he’s finally found it.
Found someone else.
Because that’s what this is, isn’t it?

Summary
Ilya wants to crawl inside Shane’s chest.
Not to hurt him—never that—but to exist in the only place that has ever felt like home. He’s tired of the distance that hotel rooms, trade rumors, and skin create between them. He wants to be closer than physics allows.
Or: Ilya has a crisis about the "cruel design flaw" of being two separate people.

Summary
Shane is aware that he is an absolute mess, with hands trembling and shoulders shaking. His breaths are coming in short bursts, quicker than he is able to control them.
The confession sits like an elephant between them, and yet, Ilya hasn’t moved, tracing soothing circles between Shane’s shoulder blades.
“Sweetheart.” His husband’s voice is steady, soothing. “You need to breathe for me, okay? This isn’t good for you.”
OR, after a night out with J.J. and Hayden, Shane wakes up, certain that he has cheated on Ilya. (Spoiler alert: he hasn’t)

Summary
If only she had paid closer attention to the tale of Tantalus.
There had been no middle ground for Tantalus. He wanted it all, he got nothing. He wanted it all, he got worse than nothing. He got eternal tension — to yearn and never release. Torture in its biblical form.
There would be no middle ground for Michaela, either. She could not have part of Francesca while she still coveted the whole.

love brought weight to this heart of mine by sweetshane

Summary
Shane tries to remember, peering into the darkness surrounding the car with a furrowed brow. It hurts to move, and he feels something warm and slick sliding down his cheek.
More blood, his mind supplies rather unhelpfully.
He was driving after dark, but he shouldn’t have been. He wasn’t supposed to be. They had all night together, so why is he here?
I already chose you, Hollander.
Shane inhales sharply as his mind slowly fills in the gaps in his memory. They fought. Ilya told him to leave. Shane did.
And then he crashed.

Summary
“We’ve made a trade,” Coach announces. “For Shane Hollander.”
It’s like the ground drops out from beneath Ilya, and his heart falls from his chest. It tumbles past rock bottom, down to the cavern that shattered open inside of him on that night five years ago. The night when Ilya walked away from Hollander for the last time.
He can’t breathe.
(Or: Shane doesn’t get hurt, they break up, and they don’t talk for five long years. Until Shane is traded to Ottawa.)

Summary
Pete considered the question for a long moment, then said, “tell me somethin’ you never told anybody else.”
Ray blew out a quiet laugh. One foot in front of the other. “You wanna know my secrets, Pete?”
Pete’s voice was slow like molasses in the dark of the night. “I wanna know everything.”

Summary
“I’m fine. Things are going well. I…” Glinda hesitated. She tried not to ever say anything too sappy to Elphaba, who never knew how to accept such things gracefully, but she couldn’t help it. “I miss you,” Glinda admitted softly. Again, the line went silent for a beat too long. Glinda opened her mouth to soften the admission, but before she could, Elphaba’s quiet voice filled her ear.
“I miss you, too.”
After graduation, Elphaba and Glinda find themselves in separate cities and therefore apart for the first time in years. They keep in contact through letters, phone calls, and occasional visits. When Elphaba won’t stop being elusive about how she’s faring after being cut off financially, Glinda worries a completely appropriate amount. (She tries to offer a completely appropriate amount of help, too.)
(Written for Gelphie Big Bang 2025)

Summary
Without realizing it, her hands had wandered to cup Elphaba’s face as she focused on her roommate's freckles. Galinda's body felt out of her control, a fact that should have scared her, but instead, it made her curious. Curious to see how else Elphaba could make her lose control.
-Galinda shares some childhood games with her roommate and gives Elphaba some first hand experiences that she missed out on. It just goes slightly further than Galinda intended.

Summary
“You know,” Missus Garraty says, “he walked late. I was so worried, but William — his daddy — he told me not to. Ray would do it when he was ready. And then one day, he just pushed himself up and walked right over to me. His first steps, towards me.” She sighs, rickety and nervous. “When he learned to walk again, his first steps were towards you.”
That much is true. Pete, standing at the end of a railing with his hands held out. Ray, clutching that same railing for dear life and whimpering with every step until he could grab onto Pete and collapse against his chest. They sunk to the floor together, Ray fighting tears and Pete shushing him softly, until the nurses brought over a wheelchair.
“Is this where you tell me it’s better I leave?” he asks. “And warn me to stay away from him?”
Months after the walk, months of recovery, and Pete grabs the mail while Ray makes lunch. Things spiral from there.

“Ray, baby, wait—“
“Stop!” Ray screams, so loud his voice cracks. “God, f-fucking stop it with the ‘baby’ crap! You know, you m-m-made me — you made me think — I thought we were O-O-Orpheus and Eurydice, walking out of hell, you know?”
“Ray,” Pete says helplessly. “I don’t know what that means.”
His big, dumb cow eyes are mean with tears. “The poet,” he shoves Pete in the chest, “and the f-f-fucking corpse.”
Months after the Walk, months of recovery, and Ray brings Pete breakfast in bed. Things spiral from there.

Summary
His palm glides upward, unhurried, almost thoughtful. “It ain’t a crime to be selfish,” he says finally, voice rough with something that isn’t quite tenderness. “To indulge. That’s a fact of the matter.” He looks at Ray like he’s trying to drive the point straight through him. “Right here, right now—this is all we got left. Might as well.”
Ray needs Pete close all the time. It makes him a bit crazy.

Summary
'You're beautiful.'
She'd never heard that phrase before. Well, no - she'd heard it countless times, if the truth be known. She'd heard it, and general doting words to the same effect, whispered in hushed, pitying adoration towards Nessa by seemingly everyone who had ever crossed her path even momentarily.
But no. While those words had flitted around her head like butterflies from the moment of Nessa's birth, they had never landed on her, never even perched. Peculiar, yes. Strange, yes. A spectracle - a term her father in particular favoured - yes. Beautiful? Never.
OR
Instead of running away after Galinda's makeover, Elphaba stays.

Summary
Patrick knows what’s about to happen a second before it does; he’s standing before he even fully registers it, his body reacting before his mind can catch up, shoving his chair backward so forcefully it topples to the ground with a crash. He ignores it, pushing his way towards the TV just as the horrible crack of Art’s shoulder popping resounds around the court, even louder than the ball had been. A second later, Art falls.
In which Art’s torn shoulder allows an opportunity for something else to mend.
