    Summary

    Ilya hums, playing the card he's been considering for this entire conversation. “We could make more interesting, yes? A bet.”

    “A bet,” Shane repeats, eyes flashing. “Like what?”

    The reporter cuts in. “What about wearing the other player’s jersey?”

    They both turn to her, and Shane says, “Like, the loser wears the winner’s jersey?”

    “Maybe at the next game in a couple of months?”

    “Is a good idea,” Ilya muses, nudging Shane’s elbow. “You will look better in my jersey than in Montreal jersey.”

    Shane makes a low noise, his eyes holding a bit of a spark when he looks back to Ilya. It’s what Ilya was hoping for—the tiniest crack in the mask. He can see a hint of exasperated affection around the corners of Shane’s eyes, a little bit of fire burning just beneath the surface. It sends a thrill down Ilya’s spine, and he wonders if Shane will be snarky when Ilya gets him naked tonight.

    “That’s not happening,” Shane replies, shaking his head. “Because you’re not winning.”

    ---
    Ilya should have known better.

    Summary

    Gale is a survivalist romance author who writes about love after the end of the world. He's a divorcee who has plans B through G for power failure, but no Plan A for getting laid. Astarion is a former artist who decided to winter in the northern Michigan lake house he got in his divorce. He's not exactly rural-winter ready. When a massive blizzard knocks out power across the community, Gale—seeing Astarion's dark McMansion—trudges through the blizzard to prevent his idiot neighbor from freezing to death, but they'll both keep each other warm in the end.

    This low-stakes, cozy, modern, the-Ant-and-the-Grasshopper AU softens both Astarion's and Gale's traumatic pasts to gaslighting, controlling exes who leave them lonely until they discover their strange neighbor is a better fit than they had imagined.

    Note: In case you are unfamiliar with the fable of the Ant and the Grasshopper, the Ant prepares for winter by working all summer, while the Grasshopper wastes the summer singing and having fun. In the oldest tellings, the Grasshopper gets cold and hungry in the winter and goes to the Ant for food and shelter, but the Ant scolds him and turns him away. In our version, of course, the Ant is a bit kinder 😉

    Summary

    Astarion lands a job as an elf assistant to a shopping mall Santa. His boss is a jerk, but his coworkers make working retail at Christmas (mostly) bearable. But when their usual mall Santa, Minsc, sends a handsome last-minute replacement named Gale, Astarion's Christmas might just turn out to be a merry one after all. AKA the silly, smutty, shopping mall Santa crack fic no one knew they needed (including me).

    Summary

    “You can keep going. If you, ah, if you want.” Jayce interrupts, and Viktor freezes.

    What?

    “It can help. With the pain, right? I've—I've read about it.” Jayce whispers. Viktor tries to take a deep breath, but fails miserably.

    “I-huh?” Viktor isn't quite sure what to say, because he's not at all sure what they're talking about in the first place.

    “You're saying... What are you saying?” Viktor asks, and Jayce shrugs a little, way too nonchalant.

    “You can keep going. Get yourself off. I don't—I don't mind.” He whispers, and Viktor can't believe his ears.

    He must be dreaming. Yeah, that must be it. Because there's no other explanation for Jayce offering him to—to—

    But that's when Jayce's hand slips lower on Viktor's back and presses down, gentle but firm. Viktor hisses as the movement forces his swollen folds to rub against Jayce's thigh once again.

    OR

    Viktor and Jayce are locked in the lab and have to spend the night. Viktor is in a lot of pain. Jayce finds several ways to relieve it and changes their relationship forever.

    Summary

    “You looked so fucking pretty tonight, Hollander. In that big jersey, with that backwards hat. Wanted to bend you over in front of all your friends and fuck you untill you cried.”

    Shane whimpers, hands grasping at the car seat beneath him.

    “Please, Ilya. Touch me. Need you.”

    Ilya pulls his own shirt up over his head and then pauses. Has an idea.

    “Get in the back seat, sweetheart.”
