I saw a recommendation for a fic where ilya doesn’t realise shane is in subdrop and it was a HEA but I can’t find the post anywhere! Idk if it was on here, threads or X but i’ve checked everywhere. Does anyone have any recommendations? It was like they were in public and shane was dropped and ilya didn’t know but then figured it out or something. Potential svetlana was involved i cant fully remember. But any rec of that nature would be nice, only happy endings tho pls but i don’t mind a bit of angst. Thanks!

Hi everyone.

I’m in a really awkward and traumatising situation right now. I started this work away on June 8th and am meant to finish on July 22nd. The couple I am staying with are really nice but sometimes i think our communication differs slightly so I’d been slightly unhappy in the last week or so. But then around 4 days ago they said one of their dogs was actively dying and so I started taking on the regular shared chores to allow them to be with her and the 4 days notice meant I was able to sort of come to terms with the fact that the dog might pass away. I am a huge animal lover and extremely sensitive to any injury or death of animals so I knew it was going to be tough. They are farm people and so while obviously distraught over their beloved pet, they have a bit more experience with animal death as they used to raise and eat their animals. Basically yesterday the dog died and i listened to them scream and cry and they said they were sorry that i had to be here for it and I just said it’s okay because what else can I say. Yesterday morning i noticed the barn cat wasn’t around and so i asked and they said that’s pretty usual for him - I’d become really close with this cat over my time here as I spend most days in the barn. Then as they were digging the grave for the dog last night, I shut up the barn and realise the cat hadn’t returned that evening. The night before I had heard two cars of people stop and chat outside the house so once i realised he wasn’t around I just knew he had been hit. I went up to the road in-front of the house and found his body up in the verge where these people had placed him and instantly started crying and had to go and tell the couple that not only had their 15 year old dog just died but also their cat had been killed by a car. I cried for around 2 hours in my room while they finished burying the pets and then we had dinner together and I cried again. They took me to the cinema as a distraction which was really kind but on the way home they said I had to look out at the sides of the verge incase any animals ran out as it was night and of course I could not deal with any more death so I was nearing a panic attack in the front seat as we drove so quickly along these country roads. We got home at around 1am and i didn’t sleep until 4/5ish as I kept seeing the body of the cat and replaying everything in my head. I then woke up at 7 as I said i’d do the barn chores in the morning so they didn’t have to. After that I shut myself in my room all day because I just needed to process it all. I came down around 30 minutes ago and one of the hosts jokingly told me off for not having done any work today but I know he was pretty much saying that I should have done stuff. And then told me i’ll have to work extra long tomorrow. I’m doing outdoor work and I’ve been working really hard and taking barely any time at all to complete things. He then said that waking up early is hard for me and he doesn’t know what kind of schedule i’m on. I just went back up to my room.
I just feel really really disturbed by it all and I just don’t want to be here anymore. It’s my first workaway and my first time solo travelling and I’m just really struggling now. But they need someone here for the 17-19th of July as they have to go away. Idk what to do. Any advice would be so helpful

Hello! I am planning a trip from Quebec City to Toronto and looking into ViaRail to get me there. Looking at pricing it seems cheaper to take a train from QC to Montreal first, then Montreal to Toronto. Is this something that people usually do? It seems crazy that it works out so much cheaper and faster than booking it as one.

I’m also worried about baggage. I have an Osprey Renn backpack 65L and an Osprey Quasar i think 26L daypack. Will I be fine to take both of these? I’ve seen people saying not to bother with the extra baggage fee but I am happy to pay it, just confused about the whole 1 carry on allowed but then extra baggage fees on the website. They don’t lay it out super clearly. The backpack is only around 16kg so well within the 23kg limit

So basically should I pay the baggage fee or will it be fine and should I book the journeys separately.

I’m visiting from Scotland and have absolutely zero experience with rail travel in Canada so sorry if these are dumb questions.
Thanks!
