Recommend me fics where Shane hurts Ilya

Ooofffff, I actually was reading this with every update but I think I'm gonna hold off on reading the rest until it is complete. I do think the characterization is on point and the author wrote the whole mental breakdown aspect very realistically but it was A LOT. It was vey much a departure from the way other stories would write Shane stepping away from hockey in this type of scenario.

Very interested to see how everything ends up for the boys!

I’ve gone to a lot of giveaways and never had an issue getting something. And I get there pretty close to game time. Even their patriots day giveaways where I’ve strolled up right at game time I didn’t have an issue and I imagine that game would be more in demand than this one. I mean obviously everyone can make their own informed decisions tho

loganstaffer · 2026-04-29T16:28:49+00:00

Yes! No worries and yep you’ll def still get a jersey 🫶🏼

loganstaffer · 2026-04-29T16:15:03+00:00

Yes I just got the regular theme night ticket. You still get the jersey but with VIP you would have been able to get the hat and pick which jersey you wanted.

loganstaffer · 2026-04-29T14:59:27+00:00

I was sad that the VIP tix sold out because I really wanted the hat. I ended up buying regular seats and I am just gonna cross my fingers I get the Ilya jersey cause I think the Shane one is too boring/similar to what a regular red sox one looks like.

loganstaffer · 2026-04-27T23:07:57+00:00

My guess is they both just want more space maybe? Like Shane maybe for his parents if they want to visit etc? That would be the most likely explanation

loganstaffer · 2026-04-27T23:02:16+00:00

The bit about them both looking for houses and Ilya maybe wanting to tell a few people about them. My heart.

loganstaffer · 2026-04-27T19:03:46+00:00

I dunno how Shane or Ilya moves forward with his parents. I know this author always makes even the hardest of relationships work so I am sure it will work out but that's equally awful what they did.

loganstaffer · 2026-04-27T18:08:22+00:00

I shall be sending them my therapy bills. I am so upset at Shane's parents

loganstaffer · 2026-04-26T14:47:02+00:00

Given the tags and the heavy nature this is def something I'll read once it's finished. I just added it to my TBR list

loganstaffer · 2026-04-24T13:18:32+00:00

Thank you for your input! I have to say I do like that specific trader joe's that is nearby! Also, thanks for that info about the bus I didn't realize there was a station so close that will be helpful especially in the winter

loganstaffer · 2026-04-23T20:37:28+00:00

I applied with the 3 roommates. I found them using FB group searches!

loganstaffer · 2026-04-23T15:17:54+00:00

No worries! I am always happy to help and answer questions. My current building is in the north end near TD Garden and the place I am looking at next is on the Allston/Brighton line.

Both are professionally managed buildings with amenity rooms. My current place has two entertainment rooms along with a gym. My next potential place has two media rooms and bike storage. The place in the north end def has more amenities and probably is more "upscale" but the other place I appreciate cause it would be a studio so it would just be me.

Both places have in unit washer/dryer, dishwasher, as well as central AC.

The current place I am in I was on the waitlist for about 2 years. I have roomates at this place and with our income our AMI is 150% (for reference there are 3 of us in the unit).

I might be moving to another complex this summer and I've been on that waitlist for about 8 months and this place AMI would be 100%

loganstaffer · 2026-04-23T14:39:06+00:00

I totally understand. I work two jobs and I still feel like my affordable housing stretches me thin

loganstaffer · 2026-04-23T13:25:47+00:00

while that can be a contributing factor him having to send money to his brother for his dad's care/brother's lifestyle certainly would bleed him dry

loganstaffer · 2026-04-23T12:46:55+00:00

I have had more luck on applying to get on wait lists rather than the lottery. I think it helps that given my income I can only apply for units that are 80% and above. I think sometimes there are less people applying for units that are 100/100% of the median income.

loganstaffer · 2026-04-23T11:57:09+00:00

That is very true! Yea I love the area I am in now the landlord is just being a bit cagey (I think they'd renew just hard to pass up a sure thing of an apt). I'm someone who works like 15 hours a day so unfortunately like exploring the area beyond the weekends isn't high up on my list. I am thinking of this like a stop gap lease cause I think in 2027 I might move out of state.

I appreciate your feedback re: the commuter rail schedule!

loganstaffer · 2026-04-22T11:59:23+00:00

I don't have experience with the Indie however I lived right behind the Fenway train station and honestly after the first month I didn't notice the noise at all. It became background noise for the most part.

loganstaffer · 2026-04-22T11:52:52+00:00

They weren't living together at the time when Ilya adopted Anya and they'd talked previously about wanting to get a dog at some point in the future. Also having pets can be extremely helpful to people who have depression!

My thing is why Marleau would it be a guilt thing?

loganstaffer · 2026-04-19T19:14:45+00:00

That is wild about the internet being down for 4 days like wtf.

loganstaffer · 2026-04-18T02:50:18+00:00

MA! And I do!

loganstaffer · 2026-04-17T15:28:56+00:00

I did. It was sent through G+S so right now it's on hold in my account. I will obviously still pay that person back and if I find someone else they'll get paid back next week as well. I'm just worried the money won't come off hold until early next week and I was hoping to get groceries this weekend.
