Looking for 2 post-TLG fics
Looking for 2 fics I read some time between January and March and most likely on AO3, both with married post-The Long Game Hollanov.
First one: Ilya is grocery shopping and making sure that he's getting exactly what Shane asked for, all the while telling him (texting? on a call?) that he can't find the right brand/type just to annoy him. At some point he overhears another man shopping, and doing a terrible job of it, and Ilya thinks that that man doesn't like his wife or is using weaponised incompetence, or the like and thinks that his and Shane's relationship is better (or maybe just that Ilya himself is better).
Second: Ilya's niece (I'm think her name started with a 'D') showed up at the Game Changers camp. While she's waiting for someone to get Ilya, she looks through the LGBTQ+ pins.
I have been searching for days and I have let myself down. All of my tags, bookmarks, history, full text searches, google searches, AO3 tag searches have been fruitless. I am slightly ashamed. Really hope someone can help!
