    Summary

    “Ilya,” Shane said, sounding strangled, as he spoke. “What - why did you do this?”

    “Because,” Ilya shrugged. “I will not have anyone doubting my love, or commitment to you. I wear my ring on my right hand, because I am Russian - but I will tattoo your initials on my left, so there can be no doubt about who I belong to. I am yours, and I will not allow anyone to doubt that.”

    or - the press has a lot to say about the fact Ilya wears his wedding ring on his right hand. Ilya responds.

    Summary

    “Oh God, Sha - shit,” Ilya stammered.

    Shane froze for just a fraction of a second. He had caught that, the beginning of his name. The name that had scared him so badly he had run away. Whatever Shane had told Ilya, about being sorry, about liking him, it hadn’t undone what he had done and said before.

    I can’t do this.

    But he could, damn it. He could, and he wanted to, and he was fucking going to.

    Summary

    “I felt…bad. It felt bad. I had missed you so much and then I finally saw you again and you -” Shane cut himself off. “I know you didn’t mean to,” he started again. “I know you weren’t trying to be… I don’t know. You didn’t mean to.”

    “I didn’t mean to what?” Ilya’s pulse quickened. Shane wouldn’t meet his eye.

    Shane took a deep breath. “You didn’t mean to hurt me.”

    Ilya felt the words like a sucker punch to the stomach. He swallowed hard, fighting to keep his voice level. “I hurt you?”

    An offhand comment from Yuna triggers a conversation between Shane and Ilya about that night in Ilya's Vegas penthouse after the MLH awards. Ilya knew he had fucked up, but maybe not how much. Maybe now he can make up for it.

    Summary

    Wiebe could tell he was wearing Ilya down, but he still looked nervous. "Ilya," Ilya stilled. To his team he was always Rozanov or Roz or Rozy, never Ilya. "You're our guy. There's nobody I'd rather be our captain, to lead this team to another Stanley Cup. It's clear you don't like the guy, but we both know how good this could be."

    Ilya jerked his head in a nod. "We will destroy everyone, this is true." Wiebe seemed satisfied. Ilya stood to leave and delivered one last look at Wiebe "But I do not have to be happy about it."

    Summary

    “You don’t have to.” Ilya whispers.

    “What?”

    “Love me. You don’t have to. To say it, you can move on, you can find someone better, you don’t have to.” he says. “I am. . . not good.” he settles on after trying to find the right words in his mind.

    Summary

    Belated Valentine's Day fluff for anyone craving a little sweet softness.

    ***

    “I am winner of tonight's game, right?” Ilya pulled the hood back down and tucked his head into Shane’s neck, knocking his Elvis hair to the side, a couple of golden curls popping out. They stared at each other in the foyer mirror. “My prize is that you come out with me.”

    Shane breathed out a heavy sigh, letting his arms fall to cradle Ilya’s hug around him. He nodded, resigned.

    Ilya nodded back against Shane’s neck, pressing his lips to the bare skin at the curve of his neck.

    Shane deliberated. “But we can’t be out too late.”

    Ilya smiled and bit his neck. “Okay, Grandma.”

    “Ow! We’re going to be too cold in these,” Shane complained.

    “I will keep you warm.”

    Summary

    What if it was the Metro's plane that almost crashed?
    This is the alternate universe where Shane's plane almost crashes. What would Shane message Ilya if he thought it was the end and how would Ilya handle not knowing if Shane was alive or dead?

    He was scared for Ilya. He’d sacrificed so much for Shane and now Shane was… if Shane was going to die then Ilya did it for nothing. Shane fucked Ilya’s life and would never deliver on the pay off. There would be no lifetime to make it up to him.

    Summary

    Langsam geht Leo hinüber zum Sofa. Zum Sofa, auf dem Adam vornübergebeugt und mit hängendem Kopf sitzt und vor sich auf den Boden starrt, wie es scheint. Die Hände hat er in seine Haare und an seinen Hinterkopf geschoben. Seine Finger bewegen sich in seinen Haaren, auf seiner Kopfhaut hin und her, so als müsse er sie irgendwie beschäftigen. Seine Ellenbogen sind auf seine Knie gestützt.

    Leo weiß nicht, was los ist. Doch er spürt ein Reißen an seinem Herzen bei diesem Anblick.

    Summary

    “Wow, this is absolutely stunning.”
    “I bet you say that to all the houses.” Ilya teased, shifting past him and moving back to his target: coffee.
    Stevie’s laugh was bright, “Sometimes, yes. But that is also one of the perks of the job. Getting to see so many beautiful houses. You had this designed, yes?”
    Ilya pushed the button for a flat white before he turned. “Yes. With my partner. He is much more into the whole real estate thing than I.”
    At those words, as if summoned, Shane appeared at the top of the stairs, a vibrating Anya at his side.
    Or
    Ilya gets invited to film a Youtube Video for Architectural Digest for his house in Ottawa and he decides not to hide the fact that someone else also lives here in the off season. He could have warned the camera team beforehand, but that would have taken all the fun out of the reveal.

    Summary

    When he was seven years old, Shane Hollander was briefly lost at an airport. Luckily, the kindness of a stranger ensured he made it back to his parents safely, putting an end to a terrifying three hours for the Hollanders. It takes twenty years (and one heated rivalry) for Shane to learn the name of his rescuer. It takes twenty years for Ilya to learn his wish had already come true.

    Summary

    “I can’t, I can’t do this.” Shane looks down at his feet, panting, looking so fucking beautiful and Ilya aches. Shane is ripping his heart out, gripping it tight in his hand how he is Ilya’s t-shirt.

    “Hollander,” Ilya says, and it’s a plea. It’s I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it, I shouldn’t have said it, come back.

    “I’m sorry,” Shane breathes, his eyes screwed shut like if he looks at Ilya, he’ll break. Will come running back to the couch. But he doesn’t want that, doesn’t want Ilya, so he turns and leaves and Ilya is alone.

    Summary

    Adam belauscht zufällig ein Gespräch zwischen Leo und Pia, das sein Bild von Leo nachhaltig zu erschüttern droht. Hat sein bester Freund wirklich eine zügellose Seite, von der Adam bisher so überhaupt nichts wusste?

    Im Folgenden lernt Adam, dass zwei Menschen im gleichen Gespräch komplett unterschiedliche Unterhaltungen führen können, ohne das wirklich zu merken. Sportmetaphern werden überstrapaziert. Und vielleicht steht am Ende dann doch eine wichtige Erkenntnis.

    Oder: Kommunikation à la Hörk.

    Summary

    „Vorsicht, Vorsicht”, murmelt Adam, während er seinen Arm um Leo legt. „Kreislauf oder Schmerzen?”

    „Kreislauf, glaube ich”, krächzt Leo. Schon nach ein paar Schritten in Richtung des Rettungswagens geht es besser, aber er sagt nichts. Denn dann würde Adam wohl seinen Arm von ihm lösen, und dieses Gefühl möchte er so lange halten, wie es geht.

    Die, in der Leo einen Autounfall hat und Adam sich um ihn kümmert.

    Das Wasser sickert unerwartet kalt durch Adams Schuhe und Socken. Der Schock kommt ihm gerade recht, kann er doch für eine Sekunde Leos bitteren Gesichtsausdruck vergessen. Und mit Adams Kälteschock verwandelt sich Leos Gesichtsausdruck, geht von Enttäuschung und Resignation über in Überraschung, streift Fassungslosigkeit und landet schließlich bei diebischer Freude.

    Die, in der Adam mit Leo im Brunnen tanzt.

    Summary

    Leo hält inne, als sein Blick auf Adam fällt. Das warme Außenlicht – und Leo fragt sich einmal mehr, wie es sein kann, dass ein Haus so kalt und die dazugehörige Außenbeleuchtung so warm wirken kann – lässt Adam ganz weich aussehen. Weich und klein und verloren, wie er da auf der Kante seiner Liege sitzt und Streichhölzer in den Pool schnipst.

    Oder: Es hätte einfach Leo sein müssen, der zu Adam an den Pool kommt.
