"and for dessert, we will look at pictures of cake"

love hiding on my tumblr to yap abt my fic ideas but back to the sci-fi fic being a tragedy. it's the way that yuna clocks that her son is gay for this random russian man pretty quickly and wonders if that's why he had a "breakdown" about hockey bc she knows how hockey rooms are. except the bond shane and ilya have goes so much deeper than that. shane found this lost cosmonaut hundreds of lightyears away from earth and brought him home because he was scared of losing him. shane is the first person since ilya's mother to want ilya alive, to have taken care of him. and ilya is dying; he is a walking supernova and part space and part man and a walking cosmic mistake and shane chooses to die with him because he feels like a cosmic mistake too and maybe he can exist in the stars with ilya. maybe they can exist there forever where nobody and touch them and put them in harm's way ever again.
