    Summary

    In late October, Ilya picks up some kind of freakish Canadian flu that dogs him into November.

    It is the weirdest shit. He has to duck out of practice because his nose starts bleeding twice in one week and he wakes up in a hotel in Columbus with another one that leaves stains on the pillow. On the flight back to Ottawa, Hazy drops into the seat next to Ilya midflight and asks, "This isn't, like, a cocaine thing, right?"

    Ilya laughs so hard it's probably a little rude.

    They have a plan. Ilya's body has a different plan.

    Summary

    Peter Burke thought he was prepared for anything when he agreed to take Neal Caffrey on as his CI. Even the man turning out to be from Gotham wasn't a big problem; Peter was too, after all. However, the man's increasingly ridiculous explanations ending with "well, it's a Gotham thing" might... but, hey, at least Peter gets to use the same excuse now. If only Neal's excuses actually made sense— sure, Gothamites learn to fight young, but not long enough to take out a whole warehouse NEAL.

    OR

    Neal huffs. "I'm telling the truth Peter. I don't know what else to tell you."

    Peter snorts, and pulls up to June's house. "Maybe you should've chosen a handler who couldn't call you out on Gothamite bullshit."

    Neal opens the door. "Maybe that's exactly why I chose you."

    OR OR

    a very loose 5+1 of times peter was trying to get answers from neal and the one time he already knew

    Summary

    “It’s yours,” Shane says quickly, as if he can hear the change in Ilya’s breathing, as if they even know each other that well. “It has to be.”

    “Oh.” For a single, shameful moment, satisfaction thrums through Ilya’s body. Mine, he thinks, briefly, before bile rises in his throat. This is bad. This is so bad.
    _

    Two months after Shane Hollander whispers his name and walks out of his life, Ilya Rozanov's lonely Christmas is interrupted by the worst possible news: Shane, his omega, is pregnant.

    Summary

    “Just one more question, Mr. Rozanov.”

    “How were you able to stay focused tonight after learning of your father's passing?”

    Ilya stood frozen, eyes glued to the camera. Jaw locked. On the screen, his chest barely moved, each breath turning dangerously shallow.

    Shane didn't realize what he was doing until he was already shoving the heavy conference room doors open.

    Or: Ilya Rozanov learns of his father's death during a live press conference and has a panic attack. Shane goes to him. In front of everyone.
