Summary
To no one’s surprise, Luke inhaled the music. Listening day and night, whenever he had a free moment between rehearsing, writing and performing. Alex and Reggie listened too, but not all the time, and mostly only if it was on in the background or Luke had discovered something really good he wanted to share with them. Luke, though, had worked his way through almost everything in the box in no time at all.
So, the night after their Orpheum performance and the subsequent hug that resulted in the boys’ tangibility, she’s not surprised when she walks out the back door to hear music coming from the studio. She’s not even really surprised when she realizes it’s not the guys making music, but listening to music instead. She is surprised when she gets nearer to the studio door and clocks the song that’s playing though. Her stomach flips unpleasantly and she can feel the bile rise in the back of her throat as the lyrics wash over her.

Summary
If Ilya Rozanov was set to be branded for life in the space above his butt crack, he was damn well going to pay a premium for it.
Booking with one of the most exclusive tattoo studios in North America was the easy bit.
Having his brain melted into oblivion by Shane Hollander’s steady hands and even steadier voice was decidedly not part of the plan.
Or, the one where tattoo artist Shane is very good at giving instructions.

Summary
Shane leaves that Vegas penthouse suite feeling wretched, and like an idiot, and like he never wants to see Ilya Rozanov again.
Except, well. Then there are zombies.

Bookmarker's Notes
A zombie apocalypse fic but mostly a Shane and Ilya character study (the study finding that they are freaks only for each other, specifically)

Summary
Shane Hollander is on vacation.
This is, objectively, a great idea. There is sun. There is a private villa. There is Luca, who fits into Shane’s life with the ease of something long-established. Brotherly, familiar, and currently eyeing the entire resort like it’s a personal challenge.
There is also Ilya Rozanov.
This was not mentioned. This was not in the plan.
It’s fine. They’re fine. They’ve always been fine. Years later, different lives, perfectly capable of sharing a beach, a drink, and conversation that slips a little too easily into something familiar.
Fine enough not to think about it.
Around them, things stay uncomplicated. Luca is already making decisions Shane will have to deal with later. Marley is encouraging him. Svetlana is watching like she already knows how this ends.
And Shane, who is absolutely, completely fine, starts to realize something mildly inconvenient:
nothing else ever really measured up.

Summary
It's already so complicated - their hook-ups and their secrets - that Ilya Rozanov knows it can't continue forever. So, when Shane Hollander, his rival on the ice and current reason for waking up in the morning, suddenly ghosts him and starts playing like an amateur, Ilya is desperate to figure out why and fix it so that their tangled little mess can maybe, one day, last.
AN: Make note of the tags. Not a full recount/description of the assault, but it's a central theme.

Summary
Ilya widens his eyes, moves his hands in an impatient “get on with it” motion. He has the urge to say it for him, end both their misery. Shane blinks rapidly a few times, takes another deep breath. “I want to stop,” he says simply.
Ilya lets out one humorless laugh, “Stop what?”
Shane ignores him. “At the All Star Game, I told you I liked you. And you said about Russia and your family. And I looked some things up. I get it. I get it better now. I know we can’t but I can’t stop wanting to be…more. Unless we stop.”
OR
Shane just wants to be friends and Ilya is, like, fine with that or whatever
