Summary
This may not sounds like a happy story— but we don't believe in sad endings around here. This is a beautifully happy story born from tragedy, the way real life often is.
This fic is an alternate ending (major character death) to Built to Break. It begins in Chapter 18, in the OR, when surgeons discover Shane’s Ewing sarcoma cannot be fully removed. Clean margins aren’t possible, and the goal shifts from cure to comfort. If you’ve read Built to Break, you can start at Chapter 18. It also works as a standalone—though rereading from Chapter 1, knowing how it ends, might hit a little harder in the gut.
What follows is the story of his final year— intentional, painful, and deeply beautiful—and the love that carries him through it. But this story does not end when Shane does. It continues through the aftermath: the firsts, the grief, the anger, and the slow, stubborn choice to keep living a life he would be proud of. It’s about chosen family, about carrying someone forward, and about believing that love doesn’t end here on earth.

Summary
[Takes place post-TLG. Spoilers ahead.]
“I have bad feeling about this.”
The two men looked up at the two-story suburban Ottawa house. Strings of multicoloured lights twirled around the squat, snow-covered cedar trees in the front yard, and a little cobblestone walkway curved up from the driveway toward the porch.
Shane looked over his shoulder and grinned. “You’re scared of my parents now?”
Ilya raised one dubious eyebrow. “Is not just your parents inside. Also there are aunts. Uncles.” He shuddered dramatically. “You should not have told me about Great Aunt Alice.”
Shane laughed. “It’s fine. Just ignore everything she says, and the rest are all gonna love you.” He leaned up on his tiptoes and kissed Ilya’s rough-stubbled cheek. “Just like I do.”
“Like you do?” Ilya wiggled his eyebrows up and down, and Shane saw the start of a mischievous grin twinkling in his eyes. “This will make this party much more interesting.”

Summary
“You named your coin after the stupid wolf bird?”
“I didn't. The country did, I guess. I don't know, I never really thought about it.” He paused for a second, then smirked. “A two dollar coin is called a toonie.”
Or: Four times Ilya Rozanov thought a Canadian word was stupid, and one time he was on Canada's side.
