    The fight on Boxing Day 2020 end with Ilya asking Shane for a break and Shane walking out the door. Ilya never thought that will be the last time he saw Shane, for a very long time. During this time, everyone Shane loved struggle to cope with the grief, some better than others. Ilya stays in Ottawa and watches over Yuan and David Hollander, grieving their only son, and each in their own, do not survive it. Hayden searches for answers in the wreckage of his best friend's disappearance, turning over events in memory, unable to shake the feeling Shane told him something before he vanished.
    When Shane finally reappears, enduring the unthinkable, broken and barely recognizable, what comes next is harder than anyone anticipated.

    Or: AU after the Boxing Day fight in The Long Game. It's a story of grief, found family, a love that withstands hardship and passage of time, and the most unlikely friendship. Recovery is slow and costly and nonlinear, but that's what makes the happy ending hard won. Major Character Death warning are not for Shane or Ilya.

    Summary

    Shane knows his mother would love him if he left the Metros, but he also knows that he could never give her a reason good enough for him to do so. She'd have an excuse, have a reason, have a way to make any event be something he could handle or deal with. They could probably make him commit murder, and she'd brush it off, let alone if Shane finally got tired of the weirdly racist and definitely homophobic comments that got made daily.

    Summary

    “You forget how to use phone now?” he asked. Curls shone in the muted hallway light, tousled and dipping onto his forehead. The mole shifted slightly on Ilya’s cheek.

    Feeling shuttered into his skin. The quiet peace he’d grasped with shaking hands was slipping away. Shane wanted to cry. Wanted to scream and hit something. Wanted to play dead on the carpet. Blood pulsed behind his eyes.

    Instead, he murmured, “Can we not do this right now? I don’t want to… not tonight, Ilya.”

    Ilya’s brows dropped. He placed a hand against the door. “Shane, what is wrong?”

    Fuck, fuck, of course he wouldn’t just let this go. Shane’s jaw trembled. The panic flooded his system anew. He scrubbed at his eyes again. He’d been fine, he’d kept all the lights off, he’d tuned out the beating of his heart, the feeling of sweat against his spine. He’d fixed it, and now… now, like a relentless weed, the buzz in his nerves had relit.

    He wanted to slam his head against the door.

    Or--
    Shane's panic rears it's ugly head and while he tries to push Ilya away before he shuts down, Ilya steps into the hotel room and closes the door behind him.
