Without warning, Ilya moved his hand until it was right next to Shane's, and then he hooked their thumbs together. Shane's first instinct was to pull away, but he resisted. Instead he closed his eyes, and tried not to hope for impossible things. He also resisted the urge to rest his head on Ilya's shoulder.

in the mood to churn out some xmas/winter threads so please give this a like if you'd like a short starter :)

[luvcrs]

some silly holiday plots for consideration:

we got snowed in together with only one bed and now i'm trying really hard not to fall for you over hot chocolate and bad christmas movies

you're my ex and somehow still got invited to the same new years eve party, and of course you kissed someone else at midnight

we promised to keep things casual but you showed up to the christmas party in matching sweaters with someone else and now i can't stop glaring

i came home for the holiday's and discovered you're my sibling's best friend, and now we have to act like last summer never happened

you're my grumpy co-worker, but we both got stuck organizing the office christmas party together and i'm realizing you're kind of sweet

i was supposed to introduce my partner to my family but we broke up, so now i've convinced you to pretend to be them for a week

we're strangers stuck together in an airport on christmas eve because our flights got delayed for twelve hours

you always go overboard with your decorations, so i started a rivalry, but now you keep flirting with me every time i try to sabotage your lights

everybody knows i hate christmas, but you just showed up at my door with cookies, lights, and that smile i can't resist

WINTER-THEMED PROMPTS FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON *  random assortment of holiday and winter themed lines that i came up with on the spot, adjust as necessary

this is just like that hallmark movie we watched.

can you stop quoting that horrible hallmark movie?

i am never watching a movie with you again.

come kiss me under the mistletoe.

i didn't realize it was going to be this cold. maybe i should go grab my jacket.

how do you plan on celebrating the new year?

have you ever made a snow angel?

well, don't you look festive!

i already bought your present this year.

could you help me hang this? i can't reach.

maybe we should turn the lights down low.

i'm really not a fan of the colder months.

i might need your help this year.

will you stay up with me to watch the ball drop?

that's not how we celebrate where i'm from.

i'll teach you all the family traditions.

we're getting everyone together for a big dinner!

how much time did you take off from work?

you sound congested. are you coming down with something?

that's the worst snowman i have ever seen.

i'm making hot cocoa. you want one?

i think we just lost power.

oh no. you are not getting me sick.

that's the ugliest sweater i have ever seen.

there's nothing to celebrate.

your singing is atrocious.

make that your new year's resolution.

come sit with me? it's nice and warm over here.

how does the song go? the weather outside is frightful...

the holidays were never very happy for me.

can we just plan for a night in? just the two of us?

i don't do well at parties.

are you expecting a white christmas this year?

behavior like that will put you on santa's naughty list.

if you put on another hallmark christmas movie, i will scream.

this is the season for giving, you know.

i could use some help scraping all this snow off my car.

the last time we went out for a walk in weather like this, you pushed me into a snowbank.

i still haven't forgiven you for hitting me in the head with a snowball.

it's supposed to get even colder tonight.

this holiday means a lot to me.

i'd love to celebrate with you this year.

don't worry. i'll make all the food.

i'm having company over tonight.

your hands are freezing! let me warm them up.

i prefer sinatra's christmas songs, personally.

do you celebrate anything this time of year?

did your family have any holiday traditions growing up?

do you put up a real tree or a fake one?

we're going to my favorite chinese restaurant. it's basically tradition at this point.

i guess this means we're snowed in.

we should share a bed. you know. for warmth.

if you start getting cold, you could come sit by me.

personally, i understand where scrooge is coming from.

what's your favorite movie to watch this time of year?

we're going to cook one of my favorite meals.

the house smells incredible.

what are you doing new year's eve?

new city, new team. it was supposed to be a fresh start but it didn't make it seem any less daunting. cameron had spent the morning doing media with the press, rehashing last season's playoff fails and the events that followed shortly. old wounds being forced wide open and now he was supposed to practice with the team and act like he knew his place in it. he looked down at his jersey; the colours were all wrong. it felt like he was an imposter almost. there was a part of him that still kind of expected to see his linemate to come round the corner and jokingly shoot a puck at him while cam was testing out his edges before drills. the only thing that made cameron feel better was that there was a familiar face on the team, though granted it had been a good 10 years since they had played together.

he stood awkwardly at the side of the rink, waiting for the rest of his team members to hit the ice. his tape job on the blade of his stick had never looked more interesting. a familiar number flashes past him and he perks up a little, feels a little more at ease and less out of place. he glides over and taps his stick against rowan's skate before he gives him a friendly nudge. "not like you to turn up late," cam grinned, fully knowing that he was giving him shit and taking advantage of the fact that cameron for once had turned up uncharacteristically early for practice. he could blame the unfamiliarity with the city and the traffic for that, and also the excuses made to get out of answering another question about his former team.

emiko's jittery. not because she's nervous or from excessive caffeine (though she probably had consumed enough to cause palpitations in a horse but that was just the life of an er doctor). it was the kind of jittery that you'd get from an adrenaline rush coming from a busy shift at the er. the kind that would crash as soon as the dust settled and all the emotions from the evening would weigh down on her but she'd pack them up tightly in a box and put her scrubs on the following day to do it all over again.

she clutched the folder of medical data and stats on her lap, fingers drumming as she was waiting for her cue to jump in. "does anyone have anything else they'd want to bring up in this meeting?" emiko practically jumped up before the question was even finished.

"yeah actually i do. hi, i'm emiko. i'm an emergency room doctor and in the last 6 months, i've noticed there's been an increase in incidents involving abandoned buildings in the city. kids trespassing and injuring themselves in abandoned buildings or injuring themselves on used needles, college kids being rushed to my er on the brink of death because they've gone to an illegal rave at one of these abandoned buildings and they needed medical staff but there wasn't any. now i feel like there's no coincidence that this all came around the same time where there several closures of 3rd spaces in the city. kids are bored and when kids are bored, they need an outlet — we were all young once right? and sometimes they do stupid things, we can't stop that. there's studies that show that having an active community centre or a space where people can hang out and is low-cost is beneficial for the city and the community so maybe we can put some funding into that instead of putting up another obscure statue that is supposed to represent something that no one really cares about."

she's met with blank and uninterested faces. someone in the audience even yawns and she fights the urge to slap the fat report of stats and data on their lap and force them to read through it. "right, since no one cares i guess i just have to do everything myself right. don't come crying to me when the er is slammed with preventable deaths and injuries and waiting times are through the roof because of it."

@salvcticns || Closed Starter || Willa and Cameron

Willa grabbed her bag from the car, pulling it over her shoulder, grabbing the two coffees and muffins she had got on the way, as she walked towards the arena.

Ice Rinks were always a second home to her, no matter what city they were in. She grew up around Ice Rinks. Her father was a NHL player, till he retired and started coaching. Her mother was an figure skater until her death.

After her mothers death, she hated the ice, scared that memories of her mother would flood her, and she would be overwhelmed. But she still had to go and watch her father play, till she was old enough to stay home alone.

But when Willa found out at Seventeen that she was pregnant, then ice became a place she felt she was close to her mother again, she felt at peace on the ice, despite the overwhelming fear of motherhood.

Lizzie was now 3 years old, a handful, but cute. She was scared of the ice though, mainly because she had been to many hockey games, seen the players take hits. Not that it stopped her enjoying the game, cheering for whatever team her Grandfather was coaching.

But now he got a job as an NHL coach. His dream job as he put it. In fact, it was one of the teams he used to play on. Willa knew he was nervous about his first day, so thats why she was here, bringing treats and coffee for his mid morning. That, and to pick up Lizzie to take her off his hands. He had her that morning, while she had class.

As she walked towards the door, she noticed movement behind her and held it open with her rear before she looked at the man with recognition. She smiled at him. "Hey." She said. She wasn't sure if he remembered her, but when she was forced to a bar the other night with one of her friends from college, she was pretty sure they ended up talking and flirting in a booth. "Cameron right? We met a few nights back?" She said, smile on her lips. Wait... why was he at the Rink?

[salvcticns]

cam can't remember the last time he felt jitters like this. the kind that keep you up all night, tossing and turning, thoughts running through your head, the kind that you get before the first day of school. he had never been so far away from home before, not permanent like this anyways. while most hockey players moved hours away from home, sometimes to another country, moving in with billet families, cameron was one of the blessed ones who got to stay at home for junior hockey (though was it a blessing or a curse? he probably wouldn't be able to give a definitive answer on that). he was still getting used to the roads, setting his gps up every time he got into the car. the routes of toronto, his hometown, were etched in his memory and he sometimes he finds himself there even when he sleeps at night. sometimes it's accompanied by the warmth he felt when he was drafted there, most often it's filled with dread and resentment.

he's met the other players on the team before from playing them in previous years, and he had a few of them reach out to him after the news that he had signed with them had broken out, but the lack of familiarity was still daunting to him. his nerves dwindle slightly when he sees a familiar face. his memory is hazy at best from the numerous beers he had nursed that night but he recognises her smile and the warmth that she exuded, even in a crowded bar. "yeah yeah yeah, hey!" he smiled, adjusting his gear bag, "funny running into you in a place like this. you skate much?"

@salvcticns || Closed Starter || Arlo and Catherine

He still felt so numb, like he was just a shell of a body that he used to be. He was nothing without his brother. At least, thats how it felt. He felt like he was on autopilot.

Even now, when he wasn't able to just hide out in his room. Now that he was forced to attend classes again, and his advisor advised him to go to meetings to help.

They didn't. Mainly because he sat there, on autopilot, drinking the worst coffee to exist. He barely lift his gaze when others spoke. He just sat there, his mind empty, his hand lifting a paper cup, as the emptiness consumed him.

Emptiness, sorrow and guilt that he wasn't in the car with his brother. Maybe he could of saved him.... though he knew Beau's neck snapped instantly. He still thinks there could of been something he could of done.

He saw other people start to stand, and did so too, grabbing his bag and pulling it over his shoulder, headed for the door without saying a word. It was only when he hit into the back of someone as he tossed his paper cup did he actually acknowledge his surrounding. "Sorry." He muttered, not taking much in.

[salvcticns]

cat doesn't belong here, but that's never stopped her before. in fact, she saw that as a challenge more than anything. in another life, she was a normal college student whose biggest worry was missing deadlines, failing classes or the person she had a crush on not liking her back. but life wasn't always that simple. it didn't matter what cat wanted or not. life had dealt her some shitty cards and she was still figuring out what to do with them to get her out. and somehow that had led her to a college campus, hungover as shit from a frat party that one of her friends dragged her to but the bartending gig that seemed too good to be true that she left the party with made her feel a little less awful.

the place was like a maze, everything looked so similar. she should have taken her friend's offer to walk her out to her car instead of insisting she can do it herself. had she walked down this corridor before? it seemed familiar. cat was about to ask for directions when someone bumped into the back of her. "jesus, do you mind watching where you're going?" she yelled back at them before shaking her head and muttering under her breath, "fucking rich brats."

{open to anyone}

“I have to go on leave for a bit. Which I know leaves us in a tough spot.“ He would really rather not take time away from work, Carter hated to leave them short staffed but he knew that this was something he couldn’t put off. “I’d like to say I’ll be back in a few weeks, but I just don’t know.”

[salvcticns]

emiko looked up from er patient board when she heard dr carter's voice, eyebrows slightly furrowed as she registered his words. "okay... i mean i don't really know what you want me to do with that information. i'm sure we'll be fine, i'll just have to put the students to work more — it's character building." it isn't ideal, especially during the height of flu season but worse things have happened. if she wanted a nice and easy job she wouldn't have gone into healthcare. "is everything okay though? whatever it is seems serious. i mean you don't have to tell me anything and you can definitely tell me if i'm overstepping."

[salvcticns]

@drowndsoda sent — it’s too late for goodbyes, isn’t it? / ava & cat —

her eyes are stinging and there's an ache in her chest that she doesn't think will go away anytime soon. she turns away, pretending like something has caught her attention because she knows the moment she looks at ava she will crumble and say something stupid that will make ava stay. there's a lump in her throat, she tries clearing it with a fake cough. cat should be good at goodbyes by now. she's had enough people come and go in her life that she should have her farewell speech well-rehearsed. but with ava it was different. she would trade everyone in her life if it meant she could have ava by her side. it wasn't how life worked though. she was always waiting for the shoe to drop, just holding her breath till that day came. she just didn't think it would end this way.

"yeah, i guess so." cat kicks a rock by her shoe and sniffs. "you better go, wouldn't want to hold you up. probably got some fancy coaches and stuff to meet right?" she doesn't even say goodbye, she can't bring herself to. saying the words will feel too final so it's easier to not say anything at all. all cat offers is a brief wave before she leaves, rushing off as soon as she's out of sight, keeling over with ragged breaths leaving her lips like she's been punched in the gut. she was used to goodbyes but it didn't mean that they didn't hurt everytime.
