    Summary

    That thought settles into his brain dangerously. Ilya’s been with everyone. Girls. Guys. Others. What's another person on the list?

    If Shane wants experience…

    If he wants to stop feeling behind…

    Why not Ilya?

    Yes, he was a complete asshole that Shane wished he could choke to death sometimes and his brother's childhood bestfriend, but it wouldn’t mean anything. It's for the experience, the education of it all.

    For hockey.

    Obviously.

    Or: Ilya Rozanov has always been Shane Hollander’s older brother’s best friend. He was never supposed to become Shane’s first everything.

    Summary

    Shane is having a bad evening. The whole week had been shit, actually. But being in an extremely public place with hundreds of people chattering and most of them touching or talking to him and the lights and his sock is weird and no, I don't want a tray of fried hors d'ouvres or a third glass of champagne-- well.
    A storm is brewing. And only David and apparently Ilya Rozanov of all people can see what's coming.

    Summary

    “Fuck.” Shane melted into the strong hand at his neck, the pressure over his throat and the heat of the Alpha’s palm. “Fuck, that’s–” his eyes started to flutter closed, his knees going weak, but he heard the Alpha huff a laugh and immediately stiffened again. 

    “Don’t do that.” he warned. “Don’t laugh like me letting you put your hand on my throat is predictable submissive Omega behavior and you're making fun of me."

    “That is not why i was laughing.” Ilya squeezed Shane’s throat lightly, his thumb pressing over the suppressant patch covering the Omega's bonding spot and blocking his sweet scent. “I thought you would fight it, fight submitting. But you didn’t.”

    “No I–” Shane swallowed hard. “I like it.” 

    “Good.” Ilya smiled slow and a little dangerous, running his tongue over his bottom lip and then over the sharp ends of his fangs before he leaned in and growled into the Omega’s ear. “Now get on your knees.”

    Summary

    "Every day, he sought to do the exact opposite of all the things Geralt had come to hate about him. He tried never to speak unless spoken to. He kept his head down. He never laughed too loud or offered to sing. He never asked the other Witchers to tell him stories about their travels and adventures. He made himself small, kept his voice low. He folded himself into the shadows of Kaer Morhen. Everything in his life had been a dream until Geralt made him wake up. He should be grateful. He might have gone on being a burden for the rest of his life. At least now he had a chance to still be something to Geralt, even if it was only a functional role. But it was better than an entire life without him - especially since he had discovered fae blood ran through his veins. He had many, many years ahead of him. The idea of having to live out the rest of his existence scorned by Geralt was unbearable. So, he did what he had to do..."

    Jaskier becomes convinced that working himself to death is the only way to get Geralt's approval, until Geralt begins to notice that something is wrong...

    Summary

    It started as a simple conversation a little while after their wedding. It was only because things were going so well for the two of them- because Ilya had finally found a medication that worked for him and a therapy treatment plan that was effective - that he even thought to broach the topic of perhaps, maybe, if he wanted, Shane giving therapy a go himself.

    It was going well at first. Shane seemed more introspective, more thoughtful about himself, more communicative with Ilya.

    But within the last few weeks, there had been a shift.

    Something was wrong with Shane, and Ilya had no idea what to do.

    ~
    (Takes place after the events of 'The Long Game')

    Ilya convinces Shane to try therapy, but it ends up bringing things to the surface Shane has spent a lifetime keeping buried. Ilya helps him through it.
