Summary
Shane Hollander is drunk.
Rose has never seen him drunk before, and she suspects it's a rare occurrence based on how quickly he's getting sloppy and how little control he seems to have on his emotions. Despite being large and beefy enough to play professional hockey, Shane is kind of a lightweight.
"I'm never gonna get laid again," Shane mumbles, face buried in a pillow on Rose's lap.
Shane's injury is much more minor, so Ilya goes through with the breakup. Luckily, Rose is there to help him through it.

Summary
After bolting from Rozanov's house, Shane was desperate to figure out what the fuck was wrong with him that kept him crawling back for more despite his better judgment. He downloaded Grindr, hoping sleeping with someone else would finally give him clarity.
Ryan had been striking out for weeks. Every hookup with his usual type ended the same way: humiliating and incomplete. He was starting to wonder if he needed to try something different and branch out from what normally attracted him to shake him out of his own head.
Neither of them gets what they want, but they figure things out, anyway.
Or: An alternate take on Shane's sexuality crisis coming to a head.

Summary
Zane Boodram swung the door open, cutting himself off when he saw who waited on the other side.
“Hollander!” he greeted after a second, voice warm but eyes wide in shock. “Wasn’t expecting you tonight!” He paused for a moment, then continued in a softer tone, still warm but growing in confusion. “Not to be blunt, but what the hell are you doing here?”
“Oh, um… Ily—Rozanov invited me.”
Or, after their fight, Shane turns around.

Summary
UPDATED as of 15/11/2020 with Chapter 2: Tenzin and the Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Morning
“It’s good to see Korra so happy, and about time too. I swear, Asami’s been filing false reports with that girl since the new airbenders showed up.”
Tenzin followed Kya's gaze out into the courtyard, where Korra was taking a break from practising her forms to lie with her head in Asami’s lap. It was good to see her happy, so he simply hummed in agreement and went back to the scroll he was reading. Kya said a lot of things that Tenzin didn't understand, and he’d learned that asking her about them usually ended in ridicule, so on this occasion, he decided against it.
In hindsight, asking would have saved him a lot of stress.

Summary
Once, Ty Lee asks her what it’s like to be in love.
From her lips, the words float like pink smoke and Mai lowers her book just to watch the sun set around her shoulders. “What? I don’t know.”
“But,” Ty Lee frowns, dropping from her handstand in one long movement, like water flowing in a river, and sits cross-legged with her serious face on. It’s very rare to see her like this, all wide-eyed and furrowed brow, head tilted just a bit to the side as if she’s listening to a song only she knows. “What about Zuko?”
Mai frowns. What about Zuko? Unnamed dread rises in the pit of her stomach, unnervingly familiar, and she pushes it back into a locked chest just below her sternum, closing the lid tightly to choke the fire. Everyone has a crush on Zuko, she could say, because it’s true, Zuko’s the crown prince and he’s sort of sweet even if he’s a little weird, so Mai figures if she were to like anyone, it would be him, she would like it to be him.
Instead, she glares. “We’re twelve, we’re not in love.”
*
or, after the war, Mai stops an assassination plot, makes friends, and comes to terms with her own sexuality. Not necessarily in that order, though.
