Summary
What if Ilya's team plane incident was more serious?
This is a canon-divergent retelling of The Long Game from the moment of the plane accident forward.
_____________________There was another loud bang and somewhere behind him more screaming.
"We lost the other engine - there's Fire!"
Ilya's heart hammered in his chest, the feeling so intense he brought his hand up to hold his mothers cross. He didn't know if it was a prayer or an involuntary fear response, but he began to whisper to himself in Russian again - this time more frantic, pleading with the void.
"Please, we cannot die. I have to live. For Shane. I can't leave Shane like this. This isn't how it's supposed to end. This is how it -"
The breath of words are cut short as the plan tilts, throwing everyone inside. Ilya's lifted from his seat and crashed against the wall - or maybe the ceiling of the plane - it’s the last thing he remembers before blacking out.

Summary
"You say that no matter what you will always be my friend. And that’s nice of you, Mike, really, and I know that you mean it, I do,” he says, and he’s on the brink of rambling and Mike’s staring at his lips trying to keep up with his frantic words, “But would you still mean it if I said that you were my Tammy?”
Mike goes to open his mouth, not really sure what he’s going to say, but then-
“And I know you don’t know what that means, it’s just something that Robin said, but I- Mike, when I was talking about having this crush on someone-”
“How did you work out that your crush wasn’t like you?” Mike interjects, and Will’s mouth opens and closes like a fish. “How can you be sure?” He doesn’t know why he’s asking, but he is, and suddenly he needs to know like he needs oxygen and coffee and hot water for his showers.
Will rubs awkwardly at his neck, adjusting his head a little. When he does, the golden rays of the setting sun somehow align perfectly with his face, and his eyes are suddenly flecked with speckles of brilliant amber. They’re like pools, pools of light. Mike thinks that-
Oh.
Mike Wheeler realises. But nothing good is ever easy.
