    Summary

    "Dr. Hollander..." Luca's voice came out low, almost cautious. "I think there's a gestational sac."

    Shane stared at the student for a moment before letting out a short laugh.

    "Good try." He waved a dismissive hand. "Now tell me what's actually on the screen."

    No one answered.

    The silence sent a chill up the back of Shane's neck.

    He turned his head toward the monitor, expecting to find a cyst, an artifact, or anything else that would justify this collective reaction.

    It was a gestational sac.

    No.

    Or: Shane Hollander is a radiologist, an alpha, and happily married to another alpha. One routine teaching session leaves him with an impossible diagnosis and five students keeping the biggest secret in modern medicine.

    Summary

    It does mean missing out on things like barbeques and team dinners sometimes, but it’s not as if he would have been able to participate anyway. At this point in his life, risking someone not taking his allergies seriously would mean potentially missing games, which makes it unacceptable. Jackie always makes sure he has a dish or two that’s safe when he’s over at their house, but if he was going to be the one guy sitting and drinking ginger ale instead of taking part in sharing nachos or Korean barbeque or burgers or any other delicious thing he goes in knowing he can’t have anyway, there’s no point in making a fuss about it. He eats at home, has a drink with everyone else, and he calls it a day. Easy. Safe. Foolproof.

    But also the reason it doesn’t occur to him that he hasn’t actually told Ilya about any of his allergies until it becomes immediately relevant five days into being at his cottage together.

    (how ilya learns about shane's food allergies) (and how shane learns what it's like to have someone who always saves him a seat at the table) (and who also makes sure there's food he can eat on the table to start with)

    Summary

    “The fuck? What are you doing here?”

    “I am wondering same thing about you.”

    You’re wondering—you’re in Shane’s—what the hell is going on?”

    “Close the door, please. Is cold.”

    Shane gives Hayden the go-ahead to grab a package from his house—but Ilya flew in a day early as a surprise.

    Oops.

    An alternate Hayden-finds-out story set the winter after The Cottage.
