Summary
“We had a visitor waiting when we got back to the house tonight.” Yuna finally spoke. “It was, of course, alarming to find a stranger in our driveway, a car we didn’t recognize, a person we didn’t recognize.”
“Okay.” Ilya intently listened, nodding at everything.
“She explained that she had found me through the foundation, and wanted to reach out to me before she did anything else.” Her hands reassuringly squeezed around Ilya’s ones, eyes never leaving his even for a second. With a deep breath in, she closed her eyes. “She told us her name is Irina. Irina Sergeevna Rozanova.”
OR

Summary
Now, those pesky little instincts to get mated and bred are making his life hard a second time, because—
Ilya is good with kids.
Ilya is good with kids, and that makes Shane want to climb him like a tree and sit on his knot until he’s so full it has no choice but to take, makes the omega in him whisper mate, whisper ours, whisper come on, what are you waiting for?
Or: Shane can't stop thinking about having Ilya's babies. It's just biology, really. Ask anyone.

Summary
Shane is used to the intensity, the roughness in wanting, not this.
Or,
Ilya gives Shane a bath while he's sick and he's struck with the realization that they're only naked together when they have sex.

Summary
During the 'easier' episodes Ilya can manage.
Usually he can gather enough strength to get out of bed, even if it's just to slouch around the cottage or outside. He'll eat whatever Shane puts in front of him. He'll put on a brave face when Yuna and Dave come over to visit. And then when the evening rolls around he's so exhausted he falls asleep around eight.
The 'heavy' episodes are harder.
Ilya will spend most of the day sleeping. He will eat small bites of whatever Shane gives him, sometimes nothing at all. Showering is out of the question. If it's a particular bad episode, he won't even leave the bed.
Shane is scared to leave Ilya alone during the 'heavy' episodes.
He knows Ilya wouldn't hurt himself on purpose. But he also knows that depression is very complex and sneaks up on their victims when they're most vulnerable.
Or, Ilya experiences a bad depression episode. Shane is there to catch him when he falls.

Summary
"Ilya had loved him through his worst moments. Ilya had helped him find a therapist when he’d collapsed on the floor of their hotel bathroom after losing a particularly brutal game, scratching at his chest. Ilya had held him, even when Shane yelled at him because there was panic crawling under his skin and he felt as though it might claw its way out. Ilya had told him it was okay; that it didn’t make him a bad player to resent the spotlight sometimes, that it didn’t make him a bad teammate to hate the team when they were too loud and too drunk and too physical, that it didn’t make him a bad person to need space to breathe. Ilya saved him.
And look what you give him in return. You’re a shitty husband, Shane Hollander.
You don’t deserve his last name."
