    Summary

    If there’s ever been any doubt in his mind just how much Shane loves this man, it vanishes with the glossy blankness of Ilya’s expression. Blood from a stone indeed.

    “My father was very fair,” Ilya says immediately, and it’s got the rigid, almost mechanical emphasis of something practiced a thousand times. “If I was bad, I pay price. No problem.”

    “I think maybe we have a different definition of the word fair.”

    “Yes,” Ilya admits. “Probably. Shane thinks so.”

    Summary

    “Papa, what’s your job?”

    Ilya opens his mouth. Closes it. He looks at Shane, who is suddenly very interested in his coffee.

    “My job,” Ilya says slowly, “is to take care of you.”

    “That’s not a job,” Wyatt says matter-of-factly. “That’s just being a papa.”

    “Yes,” Ilya agrees. “It is.”

    In September 2030, Ilya Rozanov is newly retired, newly restless, and learning the hard way that staying home with their three-year-old son is more exhausting than any playoff run. Shane Hollander is back on the ice, chasing another season while missing things he can’t get back.

    After more than a decade together, Ilya and Shane must relearn the hows of their relationship—what comes after happily ever after.

    Summary

    Merlin is waiting. He's been waiting for, well, he's lost track of exactly how long. Eleven hundred years? Twelve? And then, just like that, Arthur is back. No neon signs or clapping thunder to announce his return- just Arthur, standing in the middle of the sidewalk.

    Merlin knows he should be more worried than he is about the reason for Arthur's return. What danger or threat or pressing need has called him back? But while Merlin and Arthur try to figure it out, there's no harm in being glad, is there? After all, Merlin has missed him. Maybe more than he realizes.

    (I expect this fic to be between 5-7 chapters, updated every 4-7 days. Title taken from "The Call" by Rupert Brooke.)

    Summary

    Never in his royal tutelage was he told what to do when slimy, slithering men insinuate that he seeks company that isn’t his husband. Why did no one think to prepare him for this?

    “Your silence betrays your guilt, Pendragon,” Rodreck grins, and then raises his hands in placation. “Don’t worry, we certainly won’t tell. It’s only natural to have a few sweet things tucked away. A squire here, a stableboy there, a handful of whores when the mood calls for it.”

    And finally, Arthur has had enough.

    .

    In which Arthur has to sit through yet another feast when he would rather be with Merlin, only this one is made much worse when his guests begin asking questions about his consort, and then about his loyalty to said consort. What follows after the feast is a collapse onto the bed as Arthur spends the rest of his night in Merlin’s arms.
