Summary
"What," Lae'zel says, "is that."
Her voice sounds severe—but then again, her voice always sounds severe, and at least there's no accompanying sound of a greatsword being drawn. Shadowheart lets her hand drop from the handle of her glaive and turns around.
"What's what?" She glances up and down the street, but there's nothing out of the ordinary to be seen: just another street in the Lower City, thrumming quietly with everyday activity. There's a pair of kids whacking each other with sticks—a steel-gray dragonborn hawking potions and dyes—a noblewoman with a stupid little purse dog, the two of them turning up their noses at a selection of vegetables—a drow wobbling on his feet, supported by friends who seem nearly as unsteady as he is—
"That." Weeks of journeying together mean that Lae'zel doesn't outright point at people anymore, but the tilt of her head is just as obvious. "That—creature."
OR: Team Tadpole plays a game. Lae'zel confronts the complexities of taxonomy.

Summary
"Hey. Hey, Hollander."
Shane sighs, drains the last sip of his beer, and turns towards the voice.
"You mind if I ask you a question?"
Can I fucking stop you?
OR: Shane Hollander meets a Boston Raiders fan. The conversation doesn't go quite how he expects.

"I mean, I'm not an innocent," Hob says, bristling against an attack Rue has no plan to aim at him. "But affairs among the Goblin Court, as you can perhaps imagine, are somewhat—rough and ready." His nose wrinkles.

Summary
In which Ilya comes back to room fourteen ten.
Canon divergent from, and following directly after, s01e01 when Ilya leaves Shane's hotel room. Contains Ilya being a provocative dick, Shane being unable to resist rising (ha) to it, too much discussion of chicken, some David Attenborough, Shane negotiating his feelings and interpersonal relationships with all his classic suavity and skill, and as much sex as two nineteen year old professional athletes can fit into one evening.

Summary
Shane wants to figure out if he's gay before he gets drafted—and no, the way he felt when Ilya Rozanov smirked at him with a cigarette between his lips in Saskatchewan has nothing to do with it. Unfortunately, the random guy he hooks up with to try and make sure one way or another takes a picture, and Shane gets outed before the draft. In the ensuing scandal, he goes seventh overall, to Ottawa.
It turns out, having the worst thing you can think of happen to you when you're seventeen years old can end up being pretty liberating. And land you an unexpected best friend.

Summary
When he presses the button on the doorbell, he hears the digitally-produced ding-dong echo from inside. There is a tiny box halfway up the adjacent wall that immediately beeps and emits Shane’s voice.
“Hey, you can just leave it on the step, thanks.”
Ilya presses his nose into the digital doorbell, which he knows to also contain a camera, and says, “Shane.”
A pause.
“What the fuck.”
A brief cacophony of noise that Ilya can hear even from outside the house. The multiple successive thumps of something falling, Shane swearing loudly and the sound of what can only be a hockey game being paused on the television.
He opens the door to reveal that he is nap-rumpled, wearing two pairs of socks and carrying a child in his arms. The only really surprising part is that the socks don’t match, though the child is interesting.Ilya takes an impromptu trip to Montreal. There are unforeseen consequences.
