Summary
“Blooming, thank you, Professor Karkaroff,” Dumbledore replies, but whatever else is said is lost on Shane's ears as right then, Shane makes eye contact with Durmstrang's second-in-commend.
Ilya fucking Rozanov stares back at him.
And
winks.
The girl in front of Shane squeals like it had been directed to her, but Shane knows Rozanov too well from the one time they'd played each other in the 17-and-unders. Or rather, Shane knows him as the chaser that kept Team Canada from winning the junior league last year.
Ilya fucking Rozanov only winks at people he wants to piss off.
Shane is so, so fucked.
Or: Durmstrang student Ilya and Slytherin Head Boy Shane commiserate about the lack of Quidditch, and maybe even solve the mystery surrounding their strange new DADA professor. (And possibly fall in love, if Harry Potter would stop accusing Shane of being an evil Slytherin.)

Summary
“Papa,” Shane starts, raising his voice to be heard, “who is that?”
His father finishes sipping the wine in his goblet and turns his head to face Shane, who is still looking at the gladiator, and raises a brow at him. “You don’t know? He’s the most beloved gladiator in Rome, perhaps the entire empire. Never lost a fight.”
He can’t be that beloved if I’ve never heard of him, Shane thinks. He does not voice this, but hums in acknowledgement instead.
“And what’s his name? This great gladiator?”
The voice of the Emperor of Rome sounds tinged with something almost like respect when he answers.
“Xanthos.”
Shane, son of the Roman Emperor, attends a gladiatorial games for the first time in his life. He finds something much more entertaining there than the combat.

Summary
Ten minutes passed, and Ilya, who normally could drift off easily, only felt more and more wired. He definitely didn't want sex while the other person was feeling bad. The thought made him nauseous. But he found himself still yearning for the release that came with being with Hollander. If not the physical release, the emotional and mental one. Behind his eyelids, all he could see was those damn freckles.
Ilya gnawed on his lip and decided to toe a line they haven't crossed yet. Ironically, this was one that usually came way before every other line they've already crossed. He picked back up his phone.
Lily: You are sleeping for a few hours in the hotel.
Jane: Yeah? And?
Lily: Does it matter if you are sleeping in your room, or in mine?
or; shane and ilya sleep together, literally; ilya pines, and pines, and pines.

Summary
“I’m sorry,” Shane chokes, closing his eyes. Rozanov draws his hand, pulling Shane’s with it, to his face and wipes his cheeks.
“There is nothing to be sorry for, любовь моя, it is okay,” Rozanov murmurs, tugging at Shane’s hair again. Shane exhales, letting him clean his cheeks. “You got overwhelmed, yes? It happens.”
“I can’t be fucking normal,” Shane says quietly, whining, head falling back, pressing into Rozanov’s hand.
“No, if you were fucking normal, you would not be my Shane.”
// shane is a liar, and he's tired of it all. his life falls apart, and he finds that he doesn't actually mind.
