  5. Summary



    This series celebrates a variety of ways David and Patrick find each other as pen pals. A group of writer friends, who love when i'm with you it feels like home by Hullomoon, were inspired to create this series in a desperate need to add more pen pal fics to the fandom. The last three in the series are connected and the remainder are unrelated/standalone.

    Summary

    The crowd was intense tonight. There was a push and pull that added to the thrumming feeling under his skin, only heightened by the small, stolen moments with Ilya. Every time Ilya would glance over, he’d find Shane’s eyes on him and his lips would tick up into a smile. Sometimes, when Ilya was at the other side of the stage, Shane would flick his eyes up to the screen next to them and look at the close up of Ilya’s curls sticking to his skin and the bead of sweat sliding down his neck.

    Ilya Rozanov is the charismatic lead singer of Overtime Lights. Shane Hollander plays hockey and doesn't know anything about music. A night in New York leads to the reveal of their secret relationship.

    Summary

    Jane: We didn't even kiss.

    The words stare back at him. They fucking taunt him, the same way Ilya does with that wink of his, with his smirk and his deep voice.

    Abruptly, Shane feels pissed off and a little like he’s grasping for something that’s slipping away. He feels the way he did in that bathroom, the first time he had Ilya’s attention for months and didn’t want to let Ilya escape without stealing more of it.

    The elevator door opens. Shane does not get off.

    Instead, he presses the button for Penthouse 1 and hits send on We didn’t even kiss.

    He watches the floor numbers increase as the elevator carries him back to Ilya. Shane has no idea what he’s going to say to the asshole but he knows he has so many words that are about to burst out of his mouth.

    Fuck you being the first two.

    OR Shane goes back for that kiss.

    Shane gets what he wants, and also not nearly enough.

    Summary

    On the wall, directly above Ilya’s bed, is a 3-foot-wide framed poster of Shane being held back by his teammates, eyebrows knitted into a scowl as he hurls taunts at Scott Hunter. Shane blinks, because there’s not a chance in hell this is real.

    He whirls on Ilya, who doesn’t look fazed in the slightest.

    “What the fuck is this?”

    OR - Ilya is a little too happy when he sees Shane get into a fight with Scott Hunter on live TV. He's maybe a bit turned on, too.

    TV-verse. Ilya is delighted by the fight Shane has with Scott. Adorable.

    Summary

    Ilya thinks about the last night they spent together, thinks about Shane splayed out on a hotel mattress pleading for his touch, thinks about how they hadn’t even kissed, and it starts as a strange little tickle in the back of his throat. Barely-there. He could ignore it if he wanted.

    Then the intensity grows, flourishes into full-blow irritation, and suddenly he’s sputtering on his Coke and attracting the attention of the woman in the first-class seat across the aisle from him. He thinks it’s just some odd coughing fit, or that he inhaled his soda on accident, so he’s shocked when he feels something soft and smooth and triangular against his tongue.

    It’s not until he spits the object into the napkin he’d received with his drink that he can see what it is: a long, thin, green leaf. A sepal.

    As soon as Ilya realizes what he’s looking at, he’s flooded with dread.

    Ilya's known these feelings were doomed from the start. He never thought they'd literally kill him.
