    Summary

    “You just need to practice, then?”

    “Um. Yeah, I guess.”

    Ilya’s hand has not moved from Shane’s knee, his thumb rubbing soothing circles into the skin there, his touch warm even through the layer of his comforter.

    “We could practice together,” Ilya says casually, a small purse to his lips. As if Shane’s brain is not screeching to a violent halt, his mouth falling open around a choked noise.

    “That’s not—that’s not funny.”

    “Is not a joke,” Ilya says firmly, suddenly serious. “If you are so afraid to be bad, I can teach you. Then you can go kiss a pretty girl, and you can impress her. Whatever.” Ilya shrugs, dark blue eyes darting across Shane’s face, a searching look.

     

    Or, Shane has never been kissed before. Ilya offers to teach him how.

    Summary

    “What did I,” his throat clicks, swallowing harshly around the tears that he has refused to allow and fall. “What did I do wrong?”

    Mortification feels like fingers wrapped tightly around his throat, tucking himself closely against the wall and too afraid to even look Rozanov in the eye. There’s a long beat of silence where Shane can practically feel his heart climb into his mouth, his chest aching with a relentless thud. 

    “Hollander.” He can’t read Rozanov’s tone even on his better days, quiet and short of breath. 

    Shane wishes that he could dissolve into the floorboards, eyes squeezed shut and a spike of shuddering cold working its way through him.

     

    Or, Shane drops hard and fast after their hook-up in Vegas. Ilya takes care of him.

    Summary

    “So we thought it’d be cute if we did your legal name.”

    The realization hits Shane only a split second before Harris lifts a Jersey. Same ugly Centaurs Pride Logo, Same 24, same A.

    HOLLANDER-ROZANOV is blazoned across the back, squeezed in to fit the 20 inches allotment.

    Shane and Ilya have their first Centaurs Pride Night as a married couple. They're definitely not weird about it. (Bood disagrees)

    Summary

    Maybe, just maybe, Ilya can admit the Spyder is a bit suspicious. The Raiders license plate is not helping things but the Lambo has the vanity plate ROZY so what was he supposed to do? Take his Ferrari to pick up his boyfriend? No. Let his boyfriend take a cab to his house from the airport? Absolutely not.

    Luckily Shane is helping the situation by dressing like a broke frat boy in a hoodie that he’s had since he was seventeen years old (Ilya would know), a backwards Blue Jays hat, sweatpants, with nothing but a duffle and an insulated tote bag

    In which; The Hollanders take Ilya on a last minute road trip. Yuna is concerned about Ilya’s career, Shane wants to be the best boyfriend possible, Ilya wants to pay for a damn meal, and David is just happy to be in the kitchen.

    A Prequel to “One For The Road” but both can stand alone

    Summary

    “Weeks of not having you like this.” Mike’s voice came out ragged. “Weeks of thinking about you. Nothing but you. Always you.”

    Will’s hand faltered.

    “Always?” he breathed.

    “Every goddamn second.” Mike pressed his forehead against Will’s, their breaths mingling. “You think I moved on? You think I could just—”

    “I hoped you would.”

    Liar.

    Or:

    A bad breakup, unresolved tension, and Mike’s jealousy issues don’t mix well in a bar.
