Summary
It felt entirely abnormal to walk through a care home with the intention to adopt a child. As if they were shopping for children, rather than trying to do something good.
It isn’t until they’ve sat in the car in silence for about three whole minutes that they look at each other.
But Ilya and Shane both knew they were thinking the same thing.
-
Or, Shane and Ilya set out to foster or adopt a kid, and meet Bowie along the way. It seems, they may just be the final fit to their family. However, raising a pregnant thirteen year old may prove harder than expected.

Summary
Shane and Ilya have done everything right, with years of waiting, planning, and hoping. After too many almosts and not-quites, they go to one more adoption event with no expectations.
But one quiet conversation—and one perfect baby—turn “maybe” into something a lot more dangerous: hope.
And hope, it turns out, has a way of asking for more than they expected.
(AKA: hurt/comfort, so much yearning, accidental family, angst with a payoff, and yes—a hard-won happy ending)

Summary
It was a hard decision to take in Luca Haas.
Ilya had spent weeks thinking it over, confirming over and over with Shane that he was okay with it. Confirming over and over with himself to make sure he could handle it. Two littles in one house would be tough, especially considering how particular Shane could get. But Shane had promised he didn’t mind, both while big and little. And Ilya had made sure he could change his mind at any point, but after a trial period, Luca would be there to stay.
or
A series of one-shots about Shane and Ilya and Luca. Shane and Luca are littles, and Ilya is a caregiver.
Planning to update every 5-6 days, more or less often by a bit but I am committed to making this pretty long!
Chapter titles are kind of descriptive of each one's content so you don't have to search for things blindly if you want to skip!Bookmarked by PlotThickens
