Summary
Shane's eyes squeeze closed again. “We had reason to put rules in place. Protocol. If ever—if it got to a place where, if he was ever feeling like he might—"
Hayden’s body understands before his mind catches up. His blood runs cold for a second, stuck on the scrunch of Shane’s face, the clench of his fist, how desperate he’d been to see Rozanov—Ilya—just now. To make sure that he was okay. Here, in person.
Not hurt. Alive.
“Oh,” Hayden hears himself say distantly. “Oh, fuck, Shane.”
--
or, Ilya needs a place to go, and Hayden's happens to be the closest. It turns out to be a good thing.

Bookmarker's Notes
Every time I reread this story I carry it around with me for a few days, just sort of mulling it over
I just want Ilya to be surrounded by people who he can be gentle with, who make him feel safe -

Bookmarker's Notes
This series bravely addresses two of my favorite questions:
1. Will Shane & Ilya always find their way to each other in every universe? (duh, always)
2. What happens if every single character you know is queer and in love? (sunshine and rainbows and joy) -

Summary
After coming out to Rose, Shane decides he doesn't want to lie anymore, even if he isn't sure coming out will mean he gets happily ever after with Ilya. When coming out to the Voyageurs leaves him wondering what his future in Montreal might look like, he lets himself be a little selfish, he lets himself wonder if there might be somewhere else he might be happy. If Montreal wants to get rid of a generational player, he's not about to stop them, especially if it means he can get a little closer to joy.
--
Or: Shane Hollander leaves Montreal in search of something better.

Bookmarker's Notes
This story (and the equally incredible part 2, with it's truly heroic number of manips) reminded me that I need to spend more time thinking about Skip because Scott Hunter really is That Guy. It also made me so deeply said for canon Shane & Ilya getting outed against their will - getting to watch them do it on their own terms was so healing and lovely.

Nothing takes me back to my horse girl roots quite like a delightful equestrian au. The scent memories this story conjured up in me were so nostalgic.

Ilya is so compellingly pathetic in this and I am a huge fan
