    Summary

    Ilya has two problems.

    The first is that his best friend is freshly single and needs to get laid. The second is that Ilya is having some...weird feelings about it.

    These are completely platonic and heterosexual concerns for his friend, of course.

    (or a college au featuring shane and ilya as best friends, and shane as ilya's bisexual awakening)

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov was sent to Vancouver as a three-year gift from the Bratva, a bodyguard for the Yakuza's most dangerous boss. He was supposed to do his job and go home. He was not supposed to fall in love with Shane Hollander.

    Now there's only one year left on his contract, and every night he spent in Shane's penthouse makes it harder to remember why he ever planned to leave. When the Bratva comes to collect what's theirs, Ilya will have to choose: break his own heart, or start a war for the man he loves.

    Summary

    “You’ve been coming here for years. You always bring me back a yogurt parfait and a latte. I guess when I woke up this morning I realized that you don’t have to do that anymore.” Little crumbs of muffin litter Shane’s chin. Ilya wants to reach out and dust them away but he can’t bring himself to drop Shane’s hand. Not in this perfect moment.

    “I will always bring you home coffee,” Ilya says. He wants to spend the rest of his life showing up for Shane in every way he needs.

    Shane squeezes his hand and gives a slight shake of his head before taking a long drink of his coffee.

    Or, Post Fanmail outing Shane and Ilya learn to love each other in public.

    Summary

    It was a dangerous plan.
    Perhaps a foolish one too.
    There were lots of things that could go badly.
    Things they probably hadn't even thought of yet.
    And Rozanov held all the real risk here.

    Or a marriage of convenience fic that starts in 2009 and changes the rest of the story.
