    Summary

    It’s lonely at the top.

    If Shane has learned anything from a career spanning nearly 2 decades of an intense, high-contact sport, it’s that it takes a lot to be the best.

    //

    Or, a post-divorce Shane Hollander tries dating apps to rediscover himself and his newfound sexuality and immediately trips and falls into a situationship with nursing student Ilya Rozanov.

    Summary

    Eventually, Ilya's gaze drifts away from a poster detailing the horrors of skin cancer, moving to the man seated behind the desk, and—

    Oh.

    Okay. Not so boring anymore.

    Dr. Hollander is younger than Ilya expected; mid-thirties, maybe, with dark hair and warm brown eyes and dozens of faint freckles dotted over his cheeks. His white coat is fitted, stretching just slightly across his shoulders and snug around his biceps in a way that suggests he must spend quite some time at the gym. He's well-built, almost as well-built as Ilya, and Ilya is a damn professional hockey player. Which makes him wonder, briefly, what this man does in his off-hours besides poking at people’s skin.

    Mostly though, there’s a twisting happening deep in Ilya’s gut because, fuck his fucking life, Dr. Hollander is hot.

    (The Dermatologist! Shane x Patient! Ilya AU no one asked for)

    Summary

    Shane: Boring?

    Ilya: I Googled you. No recent paparazzi photos, no scandals. No boyfriend!

    Shane: I have a girlfriend, but she's a public figure too and we mostly like to hang out at home.

    Ilya: Oh, cool. I am bisexual too.

    Shane: No, I'm straight.

    Ilya: ahh, sorry, i misunderstood.

    Ilya: but i thought you just came to my voice. and sent me a video.

    Shane: I did. Just because a person watches or listens to gay porn doesn't mean they're gay.

    Ilya: who says that?

    Shane: I saw it on the internet. I think it was reddit

    Ilya: Okay, Hollander.

    OR: Shane likes getting off to audio erotica. His favorite creator? aROuZal81, aka Ilya.

    Summary

    Shane’s good at his job.

    Really, he is.

    Five and a half years at Allocare and he’s learned to talk the talk and walk the walk. He’s good. His team lead tells him he’s going to make that promotion this year, actually - managing accounts is easy, and he’s got a rhythm now.

    Ilya Rozanov, on the other hand, isn’t easy. Shane’s pretty sure he’s come straight from hell itself if he’s honest - now there’s only one thing standing between Shane and the promotion he’s gunning for, and it’s his brand new, 6’3 Russian client with no regards for professional boundaries.

    He has a good mouth, though.
