    Summary

    Svetlana Vetrova is cursed. She is a folk tale. A myth. A wretched creature doomed to wander the earth alone, learning and re-learning the same invaluable lesson, the one she refuses to take to heart.

    The lesson is this: what a treacherous thing it is to be a man’s soft place to land.

    ---

    Svetlana's relationship with Ilya is changing. And change is good.

    But when she visits the cottage and meets Shane for the first time, Svetlana is forced to confront her quiet, long-neglected desire for the kind of soft, domestic love they have - and why she can't seem to find it for herself.

    Summary

    If Ilya is careful, maybe he could crawl in bed beside him, throw an arm across his chest and nuzzle his face into Shane’s neck. He wants to know what it would be like to stay with him. He wants to know everything about Shane, whether he sleeps on his side or his back, whether he snores. Whether he wakes up with drool crusted to the corner of his mouth, or if he’s perfect as ever. Does he lie log-still or toss and turn.

    After a late night hookup, Shane falls asleep in Ilya’s bed. Their last Boston meeting before the tuna melt scene.

    Summary

    “Was a bad game,” Ilya admitted. “When phone rang, wasn't thinking. Only memory.”

    “Your father,” Shane guessed.

    “Da.”

    “He would lecture? Yell?”

     

    After a rough loss, Yuna and David call Ilya. The conversation doesn't go the way he was expecting, and it throws him off. Afterwards, he talks to Shane about it.

    Summary

    So, Ilya doesn’t know why he says it.
    “You invite all your men into bed like this?”
    It’s out of his mouth before he can stop himself.
    “What?”
    Shane sits up with a jolt and glares at Ilya, who can’t believe those words came out of his mouth.
    “What did you just say to me?”

    All is well – if it wasn’t for the way it irks Ilya that Shane had said “I haven’t either, not since the last time” after they had arrived at the cottage.

    The one where possessive Ilya finally cracks and asks about Shane’s sexual adventures without him.

    Summary

    There's a hint of whine in Shane's voice as he says the words and because apparently that's not enough, he then actually fucking pouts. Bottom full lip sticking out and beautiful brown eyes blinking expectantly at Ilya.

    And well, what the fuck is Ilya supposed to do? Argue with him?
    _____________

    Five times Shane pouts and gets what he wants and one time that doesn't quite work.

    Summary

    Sydney tucks a braid behind her ear cutely and cups his face, presumably to resume what they began at his door when Carmy stops her. “Let me prove it.”

    “What? You don’t have to prove anything, man—”

    “No, no look. I’ll plan something for us, yeah? Some-something romantic and nice and. Something you really wanna do. What do you wanna do?”

    Summary

    He goes to the fridge to look for the bell peppers, and while he’s in there, he says, “It was a good first kiss. As far as I could tell. I hadn’t really kissed anyone before.” He takes an orange bell pepper from the bag his mom brought over and brings it over to the counter. “Not anyone I really wanted to kiss anyway.” He cuts the top and bottom off the pepper and then works on cutting out the seeds. “Ilya’s a good kisser,” he adds. And he can’t believe he’s just said that out loud to his mom.

    Summary

    Ilya wanted so badly to just tell Svetlana: It’s Shane Hollander, it’s always been Shane Hollander. He wanted to invite her over after the game so he'd know it was possible for her and Shane to exist in the same room without the world collapsing.

    He was calling Shane back before he even thought about it, his heart in his throat. 

    “Ilya?”

    “Can I invite Svetlana?"

    He could never have expected what happened next.

    Or: Only a few months after the cottage, Shane meets Svetlana—and goes to great lengths to defeat his jealousy.

    Summary

    The first time they hooked up, Rozanov had kissed him before Shane got on his knees. They kissed when Scott Hunter was in the room next-door. And they kissed slowly and sweetly, on his apartment stairway, after Rozanov had taken his world apart and put him back together again. Hell, even in that bathroom, where he felt as if the Russian was trampling on his bared soul, Rozanov had kissed him.

    So why was it different this time? What did he do wrong?

    Shane aches with how much he wants—needs the other man. There is a hollow numbness in his chest every time he thinks about those golden curls and ocean eyes, and he hates himself for wishing he could have more.

    ---

    Wanting Hollander is dangerous, because Ilya is wanting more than he’s allowed to have. But Ilya keeps wanting more and more, because he is vain, selfish, undisciplined. He wants to have Hollander in his arms, sweet, warm, and gorgeous.

    And he will always regret it later, in the quiet moments that come in the aftermath, in the small and lingering ache that follows him once they are apart.

    Or: Shane spirals and avoids Ilya post-Vegas. Ilya chases after him, and they talk.

    Summary

    “Maybe—maybe Lily is sleeping,” she says. Bargaining, she realizes numbly. She’s bargaining for more time. And for whatever is unfolding here to stop unfolding and in fact fold itself back up. Her thumb shifts away from the call button. “And you should be sleeping too, mister.”

    “He’s not sleeping.” Shane flares his nostrils—another gesture Yuna hasn’t seen in so many years. “He’s waiting for me to call a third time. Mom. Please. He’s—he’ll be so worried.”

    Yuna shifts her thumb and lets it drop. Is Yuna a bad mother if she hopes "Lily" doesn’t pick up?

    -x-

    or: Shane needs to call someone the night he's laid out by Marlow, and Yuna reflects on her quietly, obsessively devoted son.

    Summary

    Ilya liked Shane’s parents. He really did. David and Yuna Hollander were entirely devoted to their only child–maybe sometimes a bit intense, if not a little overbearing, in Yuna’s case–and their attentiveness had moulded him into a kind, hardworking, and thoughtful man. Truly, their son was a testament to the quality of both their character’s–Shane’s soft underbelly nurtured by his father’s patient tone and earnest gaze and his shrewdness and talent sharpened by his mother’s fierce mettle. Shane was the sum of his parent’s parts, yet entirely his own, and Ilya was very grateful to the tender, yet firm, hands that had shaped the man he loved. But right now, well, right now Ilya was not their biggest fan.

     

    Jane:
    My parents are going to be staying at my place after the game on Friday.

     

    Ilya missed Shane. Ilya really needed to have sex with Shane. Now the man's parents were in the way.

     

    Or: Ilya is finally seeing Shane for the first time since their summer at the cottage but Shane's parents crash their first evening alone in weeks. Set during that agonising final season Ilya plays for Boston.

    Summary

    “Rose texts a lot,” Ilya comments, and his wording sounds like he’s going for nonchalant, but his tone and his frown bely his jealousy.

    “*She’s* the one who told *me* that I’m gay,” Shane says. “She’s just a friend, I promise.”

    And it’s not that this is the first time this has come up while Ilya’s been visiting, but it’s that this is the first time since they’ve actually admitted that they are in love. So even though Ilya’s instinct is to just swallow down his insecurity, he forces himself to say, “But you *wanted* to like her that way.”

    And that hits Shane hard. Because Ilya is right. Shane *had* wanted to like Rose that way. He had been terrified by the exchange of first names with Ilya, of the feelings it implied, of all the myriad of ramifications that would come with acknowledging those feelings. What it would mean about his sexuality, his career, his future. And so he’d run off and tried so hard to fall in love with Rose, because if he could just fall in love with a woman, then maybe he would never have to confront any of that.

    -

    Shane and Ilya finally talk about Shane's friendship with Rose. This brings up some unresolved insecurities for Shane.

    Summary

    ”Shane looks up at Ilya again, and there’s a look on Ilya’s face he can’t put a name on. It’s a mix of lust, fondness and something. It’s a familiar look though, and just as Shane is about to ask what Ilya is planning to do-

    ”Touch yourself. I want to watch you, Hollander.”

    There’s a lot of things that’s happening at the same time. Shane shivers, because Ilya’s voice is low, demanding, dominating. His heart starts to hammer, and then it clicks. The look on Ilya’s face is familiar, because it has happened before. In Vegas. In 2014.”

    or Ilya accidentally re-creates the Vegas situation. Shane tries to be on board, but then isn’t. Enter comfort and softness and love.

    *Added chapter 2!!!
    ”You want to do it again? Shane, what-”
    ”Not the whole thing, obviously. The sex part. Maybe with kissing-”
    Ilya had made a ’tsk’-sound with a smirk on his lips. ”Always kissing now, Hollander.”
    Shane had grinned. ”Yeah, so. Can we?”

    Or, Shane wants to re-create the Vegas scene.

    Summary

    "Always like this." Ilya doesn't know the best way to put this. English words clunky on his tongue. "Pretty eyes fill up with tears for me."

    Shane's lips part in surprise. Ilya wants to push a finger between them, watch his cheeks hollow out around it, but Shane recovers quickly, mouth flattening before Ilya has a chance.

    "It's—it's a normal response," he says, defensive. "Sometimes peoples' eyes water because of, because of the stimulation." Shane winces. "Or… you know what I mean."

    "Oh, yes." Ilya grins. "The stimulation makes all parts of you wet."

    "Oh, god, Rozanov. That's gross."

    Ilya's obsessed with seeing Shane cry.

    Summary

    “Shane, Shane, Shane, baby, can you whisper for me? You will not be happy in the morning if someone overhears this conversation,” Ilya said softly.

    “I can whisper for you, baby,” Shane said, a lovestruck smile spread across his face.

    “Good. Good boy, Shane. You are always so good for me,” Ilya cooed.

    Shane felt a desperate, burning heat forming in his stomach. His eyes glazed over, and he knew he wasn’t thinking clearly, but he didn’t care. He needed Ilya. Not over FaceTime. He needed him under him, on top of him, inside of him. He needed to feel his tongue on every inch of his body.

    Or Shane gets drunk and charters a plane in the middle of the night to get to his man.
