Summary
Shane hates losing control and the last several months-years if he's being honest-have been nothing but him trying to grab onto any choice he can make for himself. In the wake of being outed, exiled from the team he's dedicated his life to, and losing everything he's worked so hard for just because of who he fell in love with, Shane does the only thing he can: he runs until he feels like he's far enough away that he can't hear anyone else's opinions.
It's time for Shane to make a decision, just once, he wants to choose something for himself.

Summary
In which Shane Hollander is sick, and Ilya Rozanov is the only one who notices he's not himself
“How…you’re calling him Shane, you…how do you know…”
Ilya isn’t sure how much he wants to say, needs to say, in order to get Pike to do something, he doesn’t want to out Shane, doesn’t want to take that choice from him, but no one is listening.
“I’m…” Shane can hate him, Shane can hate him as long as he’s himself, as long as he’s Shane again, “I’m Boston Lily.”

Summary
Once was weird, twice was bizarre, but three times was just a pattern. Shane had found himself stuck in some sort of time loop, bound by the hours in the day, from the moment he woke up to the second he collapsed in that god forsaken hallway, a sob catching in his throat, and Ilya long gone.
What was that saying about trying the same thing and insanity?
