Summary
It’s automatic, taking care of Anya like this. Despite the darkness in his head, and the pit resting in his ribs, Ilya manages to ground himself to her. Shane can be just as grounding, but it’s Anya that allows him to let his mind smooth out and focus on just about nothing.
Because if Ilya thinks of Shane, the worst thoughts always return.
OR, Ilya’s depression gets the better of him.

Summary
“You’re her favorite son now,” joked Shane while Yuna held Ilya closer, and he rested his head on her shoulder, just this once letting her be his mom. He could believe it would be okay now, just for this hug. “I was just telling him that you’re going to get him a stocking for Christmas even if we break up.”
“Oh, of course. You’re stuck with me, Ilya.” He pulled away and she kissed his forehead, making him blush. “It’s going to be okay. Ready to do this?”
He shook his head. “Shane didn’t give me a choice.”
“And I’m not either. Let’s go.”
CW- Suicidal ideation, methods graphically discussed. I put explicit because of the nature of suicide discussion and because most of my fics are explicit, but there is no sex in here.

Summary
Ilya Rozanov didn’t want to die. He would have to feel alive to want the alternative. What he was doing wasn’t living, it was surviving. He was surviving the same day on repeat like an extra cruel version of Groundhog Day.
He knew it was getting bad. He knew the thoughts he tried so hard to bury were only getting louder. And there was nothing he could do to stop it.
or; Ilya’s depression was getting worse, but luckily, he’s not as alone as he feels.

Summary
“I said I’m fine.”
“You don’t sound fine.”
“Why does it matter how I sound?” Ilya spins back around, frustration spilling over. “Why is there always something? Tone, face, body language. Maybe I’m just fucking tired, Shane. Maybe I don’t have the energy to be ‘okay’ correctly.”
Shane swallows. “I’m not asking you to be okay.”
“It feels like it,” Ilya scoffs. “It feels like if I don’t say the right words, if I don’t say them the right way, you’ll keep pushing until you get something out of me.”
—
Ilya’s mother’s birthday sends Ilya down a rough episode, in which Shane tries understanding him.
