    Summary

    It’s the middle of the night, and TK and Carlos have to pick a devastated eight-year-old Jonah up from his first sleepover when a scary movie freaks him out a bit too much. Back in the safety of their home, the three of them have a sleepover of their own.


    “Okay. Baby who is not a baby. Do you want Papa to come sit in the back with you while we drive?”

    Carlos smiles at Jonah softly – a smile as if to say, “That’ll be fine with me.”

    Jonah faces the window again. That was brief. “No,” he says, “No…just leave me here.”

    TK and Carlos look at each other for a second before they have to look away, or they’ll crack up.

    “We’re not having that,” Carlos tells him, opening his door and getting out. He hops into the backseat with his boy and reaches an arm around his shoulders.

    Jonah doesn’t protest, partly because Papa Carlos is so warm.

    “You’re warm,” Jonah tells him, and holds onto Carlos' wrist to keep him there.

    Summary

    A coda for 3x08

    He feels like a coward for being scared of seeing Carlos’s face when he tells him what will surely break his heart. But he won’t keep this from him.

    “Carlos?” He whispers.

    Carlos presses a kiss to the nape of his neck and the dip of his shoulder, and TK’s eyelids drop at the contact.

    “I have to tell you something.”

    Summary

    Winter 2019:
    Shane’s bye week lasts about twelve seconds before it turns into fever-fuelled melodrama and 1,187 unread messages ranging from “I’m dying” to “your backhand was trash.” Ilya loses a game, hides in an airport alcove, and goes full worried boyfriend, praying to get to Shane as quickly as humanly possible, and counting the kilometres from Ottawa to Montreal while keeping it quiet from the team.

    Then it’s Nurse Ilya time: cool cloths, small sips, soft Russian endearments, and the clingiest naps known to man until the fever finally breaks and they know it's going to be okay.

    Summary

    Up ahead, a logging truck turns onto the highway. It's going quite a bit slower than the rest of the cars, but is accelerating to catch up. Carlos slows down to accommodate it, and that's when the guy behind him lays on the horn.

    There's a split second where Carlos gets nervous—an irrational fear from watching the second Final Destination movie with their friends a few days ago. He reminds himself that it's just a movie. It's still daylight out, the roads aren't slick with rain or ice—these are ideal driving conditions. He's never so much as scratched the paint on any car he's owned. It's fine.

    Just a dumb movie.

    Summary

    Roy, in that soft little part of him that cares about his best fucking friend quite a lot, wants nothing more than to comfort him, tell him he'll be alright.

    "Tartt," he snaps. It turns out comforting is a difficult note for Roy Kent to hit. "Stay the fuck awake if it fucking kills you. No fucking passing out on the pitch."

    "M'not... not gonna...," Jamie slurs, his hand resting limply across his face now. He gags, like he's holding back an upsurge of vomit, then swallows thickly. "Just... fuckin' dizzy."
