    Summary

    Stick to your guns, Ilya thinks. Sex. With Hollander. That’s simple. Straightforward.

    Except nothing about this night has been straightforward. The more time he spends with Hollander, the more he wants him - and not just the sex. He wants it all: the reading glasses, earnest ramblings, moral compulsions. The sweetness Hollander tries to hide. The way he holds back from almost everyone, even from himself, but never from Ilya.

    ***
    or: After Vegas, Ilya knows he should end it with Hollander. He likes trouble, yes. Doesn’t mean he likes feeling scraped raw by wanting impossible things. Then they are marooned together for a very long, very strange night during which Ilya begins to suspect – shakily, reluctantly – that they might be… something.

    NOW COMPLETE!

    Summary

    “You have a lovely face.”

    Vi frowned in confusion, not sure what to say to that. She has a servant's face. Easily picked out in a crowd. Whereas this girl had the subtle beauty of a monarch, reaching their hold on the public.

    Not as lovely as yours. She wanted to reply though her mouth remained shut and quiet. Vi never said a word.

    Summary

    “I can’t believe you're here.” Shane says, blushing like he's embarrassed.

    “You said you wanted me to be.” Ilya shrugs, trying to be cool. “And you do not seem like someone who asks for things very often when you need them.”

    or, in the summer of 2016 when they don't normally see each other, Ilya gets a call from Shane that changes everything.

    Summary

    What if the hit Shane takes on the ice ends in something far more serious than just broken collarbone and Shane high as a kite? What if his heart stopped and in the heat of the moment, Ilya outed them as "boyfriends" in front of the whole arena? And what if Shane falls into a coma?

    ***

    Ilya wants to scream. To claw his way down the hallway. To grab the nearest doctor by the collar and shake answers out of them. To punch a wall until his knuckles break. To rip out his own heart and shove it into Shane’s chest:

    Here. Use mine. Mine seems determined to keep beating through this, might as well make itself useful.
