Summary
Five Conversations Yuna has with Ilya, and one conversation she has with Shane. Ch. 6: Back at the cottage.
Yuna had made checklists and organized budgets and shook coaches’ hands and learned how to negotiate and delegate and advocate, all in service of protecting and preserving Shane and this precious, enormous gift. There were a million ways for his journey to go wrong, and only one way for it to go right. She was competent, she was capable, she’d done everything right, everything by the book — and twenty years later, she feels like she didn’t rise to the moments that truly mattered. She mentored the career, at times, she did not mother the boy.
And yet Shane, a marvelous miracle all his own, had figured out those lessons anyways.

Summary
"He's a fucking liar-" J.J shouted.
The anger in his voice finally did it for Shane. The emotions bubbled over.
"I get it okay! Yes, I lied! Fuck. But it wasn't just my secret to keep. Don't you get that?"
A few of the guys scoffed. Drapeau crossed his arms, as if to say 'so what?'.
"Oh, fuck this! It wasn't only my secret! It was his too. What was I supposed to do, tell you anyway?"
"No. It's clear you'd choose him over us." J.J said, his lips pressed into a thin line.
Shane scoffed incredulously. "Of course I would! Wouldn't you all choose your wives over the team? Your families? Fuck."
No one said anything. Glancing around the room, they all seemed in shock. Maybe it was that he'd openly admitted to choosing Ilya over the team. Or maybe it was that he'd referred to Ilya as his family.
(post-hayden/video-gate the montreal voyagers reacted badly. shane gives them a little more of his mind this time)

Summary
“What are we talking about?” J.J. asks, and this could really go one of two ways. Either Holly shuts the conversation down pronto because it’s not respectful and he’s a hardass, or J.J. will actually be able to answer Willy’s question.
“Um, just, my girlfriend wants to try anal?” Willy says nervously. “And I was wondering if anyone had advice.”
or: Shane gives impromptu sex education.

Summary
Scott must be confused as hell if he was asking for Kip. Especially in front of his teammates. Kip should say no, that he was a friend from outside New York. He lived in Vancouver or Hawaii or England. Scott was quite literally concussed, he didn’t actually want his ex-boyfriend showing up. It had been made abundantly clear that Kip and Scott’s friend groups would not be meeting each other.
“I—yeah. What hospital is he at?” Kip said.

Summary
“I did something stupid,” Shane confesses, inhaling rapidly. He's still crying, still frozen in the doorway, besides his hitching chest and watering eyes. Hayden's never seen him like this, overtaken with emotion, bitter exhaustion in his voice. He makes a soft choked noise, and Hayden immediately wants to kill something, whatever it is that's making him feel so awful. “I—Hayds—you're gonna hate me—”
“No,” Hayden says before he can even finish the thought, almost hurt by the accusation. “No way. You're—I wouldn't. I won't.”
Shane sniffs, offering him a sad smile, his eyes watery and solemn. It's an unfamiliar look, burnt through with sorrow and twisting doubt, sharp worry in the furrow of his brow. “You are,” he says, soft and certain. “I do, and I'm the one who's doing it.”
OR: Shane returns to the hotel room, post-tuna melt. Hayden spirals.
