Summary
College AU.They say you should ring in New Year's Eve with who you want to spend the rest of the year beside. Shane is trying to make peace with the likelihood he’s going to spend it alone…until a knock in the middle of the night changes everything again.
OR: a Hollanov one-shot where Shane gets into multiple law schools; Ilya gets into vet school somewhere else and is too scared to ask for what he wants; and months later, he admits he fucked up.
Even in a foreign place, surrounded by the detritus of Shane's unfulfilling life, Ilya still fucking fits.
Throat closing up, Shane leans his head against the door to look at the ceiling. If he can keep his eyes off Ilya for a bit, maybe he can dredge up old anger and let it fuel him into turning Ilya away. That's what everyone would encourage him to do. Everyone would say he shouldn't…
"I'm sorry is so late."
…that he shouldn't be drawn to look back at Ilya. That he shouldn't be affected by the hesitation in Ilya's voice, or his hands balling at his sides, or his light eyes shining under the moonlight streaming through the cracked blinds.
That he shouldn't have already let Ilya in.

Summary
Ilya glances at Shane, at the way the dying light is catching in his hair, refracting. At that spiderlily mouth, slightly open and curling coyly, two teeth peeked through the dark gap like an American Girl doll. At that shoulder, bare and pale and close enough to touch if Ilya just leaned forward, if he just reached out and took another liberty.
To touch another person is to say: I know you will die, and I am doing this anyway.
His mother used to say something like this. About painting.
Every portrait is an act of faith, Ilyushenka. Faith and futility both.

contrary to personal preference, ilya gets a roommate.

Summary
“I am normal,” says Shane, rearranging his silverware on the table. “And I will pass Logic, ignore Ilya Rozanov, and continue to be normal forever until I die.” When he reaches for Rose’s fork to move it parallel to her plate, she grabs his wrist and gently sets it on the table.

mr. real estate by noedovenest

Summary
“Is very far from entrance to house,” Ilya said, brushing lightly past Shane to assess the space.
“That’s a new one,” Shane noted, his eyes narrowing. “No problem. If we have to keep looking, I’ll keep that in mind. Any reason why? Sore after the games, or…?”
“No.” Ilya shook his head, his gaze trailing over Shane from head to toe before drifting slowly back up and settling on the wide set of his cupid’s bow. “I just do not need guests to see whole house before I get them into bed.”
OR: Ilya doesn’t want a new home, but he definitely wants his real estate agent.

Summary
If Ilya hadn’t let Shane walk away in the club.
"He’d come to the club to forget about Shane fucking Hollander, so it must have been cosmic punishment that placed him smack dab in the middle of the dance floor, with perfect Rose Landry running her hands up his chest, beneath his thin white T-shirt, swaying her hips to the thrumming electronic music. Beneath the flashing lasers and amidst the sweaty, writhing bodies, Shane smiled. Nausea twisted his stomach like a wrung towel, and Ilya swallowed it. Gritted his teeth, tightened his jaw. Anything to keep the distaste from rising. Had he truly thought that smile was reserved for him? That he had something the media, his friends, his family didn’t?”
