    Summary

    Galina has warned him it wouldn’t always be that way, that love isn’t a miracle drug. Ilya would nod his way through the lecture. Yes, he’s still sad sometimes when Shane is right there, but it’s easy to forget when Shane smiles at him, holds his hand just because, tells him I love you, drops to his knees.

    Distractions, Galina would shake her head, disapproving and understanding at the same time. But Ilya really thought it’s enough, wanted to believe so badly that for him love does fix everything. He knows the crashes after seeing Shane are always the worst. So empty and meaningless, sadness a knife splitting him open until the void threatens to consume him, its ugly head baring teeth.

    Ilya’s luck has run out.

    Or: Ilya has a bad depressive episode when he's at the cottage with Shane.

    Summary

    “You’re beautiful,” Ilya whispers into the sunlit room, trying to preserve the moment just a little longer.

    The corners of Shane’s mouth quirk up, failing to hide his pleased smile, maybe he’s not even trying. Ilya lets his straining arm drop down, reaching for Shane’s face. He has to tilt his head awkwardly to avoid the sun from blinding him again.

    He ghosts his fingertips across the freckles under Shane’s eye, back and forth, before slowly making his way onto the bridge of his nose. He slides his pointer finger down the slope and taps lightly against his nose, watching the way it scrunches up, freckles trying to go into hiding.

    Everything about him is so beautiful it has something aching in Ilya’s chest.

    He drops his finger further down into the dip of his cupid’s bow, gently pressing the pad into his lip. He traces the shape, top and bottom, and then dances his fingers along the seam. Shane’s lips part slightly around a soft exhale.

    Or: 5 times Ilya gets to worship Shane’s freckles and one time he has to reassure him

    Summary

    "I want to not be me for a while. I want to reach a point where my 'yes' doesn't matter because you’ve already decided for me."

    Shane Hollander is tired. Tired of the 'Golden Boy' mantle, tired of the Captain’s "C," and tired of being the one in control of every single detail. He doesn't just want a night off; he wants to be dismantled.

    He leaves the back door of his cottage unlocked as a silent invitation for a thief to take what he's no longer willing to carry. And Ilya Rozanov is more than happy to steal the one thing Shane has never been able to give up: his autonomy.

    Summary

    The coffee table was covered in evidence, two plates with the remains of the tuna melts, an empty can of ginger ale left behind like a murder weapon. Yes, this was a crime scene. He would alert the authorities.

    Wanted: Shane Hollander.

    So fucking wanted.

    --

    Or: After running away from Ilya's, Shane realizes his mistake and comes back.
