    Summary

    He feels fizzy, fizzy, fizzy, like a soda can that’s been shaken and cracked open. There’s so much pressure building inside his chest that he can’t possibly keep it all inside. He laughs, just a quiet giggle at first, and then it becomes something louder. Something brighter. Something that bursts out of his chest and cracks through the echoing silence in the bathroom. He has to cover his mouth with his hand to stifle it.

    Shane feels happy. Truly, deep down to his bones, happy.

    He almost can’t believe it.

    (Or, the first night at the cottage.)

    Missing moment from the cottage.

    Its so sweet and slow and full of peace. The joy of just existing in each other's space rather than spinning an an ever to wide orbit.

    Summary

    Look at that. Another white guy with his little Asian sugar baby.

    Twenty-seven years, and not once has a stranger looked at David Hollander and his son and seen a father. Then Ilya Rozanov sits beside him in a restaurant and a server says, "Can I get anything else for you and your son?" David does not correct him.`

    OMG I am bawling. My screen is barely visible.

    This is stunningly beautiful and reading it broke my heart into 100 tiny peice.

    Extraordinarily boring, it's different.
    His mothers face but he skates like you.
    Ilya and his blanket.
    19 days....

    Holy shit! I may never recover.

    Thankyou. 💔❤️

    Summary

    “That’s the thing,” Shane says, taking his glasses off and propping them on his forehead. It’s novel enough, and sexy enough, that Ilya lets the action pass without comment, even though he really prefers the glasses in their proper spot on Shane’s face. “I don’t think you should get anyone. Like, a housekeeper, or anything.”

    Ilya can't tear his eyes away from the glasses. "What?"

    "I don't think you should get a housekeeper in Ottawa," Shane says again. "For privacy's sake."

    -

    Or: Shane and Ilya get rid of their housekeepers as part of their plan to keep their relationship secret. Ilya discovers that keeping a house clean is easier said than done.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Shane is a sneaky liar that lies about his housekeeping skills. Like he probably doesn't know where his washing machine is let alone be pedantic about separating whites and colours or towels from woollen jumpers.

    Ilya is just as hopeless but you know Orphan and stuff.

    Summary

    “Is why I say when, Pike, keep up,” because of course Ilya Rozanov would have time for snark amidst his own mental breakdowns. “I am scared. I don't want him to leave me when he sees I am— this.”

    Fuck. They were doing this.

    Ilya needed water and around three kilos of grease if they were doing this. Hayden himself probably needed a lobotomy.

     
    ;

     

    or: ilya rozanov is an emotional drunk. naturally, this leads to a heart-to-heart with hayden.

    Hayden and Ilya bond over possibly cholera fries in a dingy dive bar bathroom at 3 AM.
