Summary
“Is this one from hockey?” he asks softly. Beneath him, Ilya exhales lightly.
“No.”
“What’s it from?”
“A belt,” Ilya replies casually, as if the word doesn’t make Shane’s whole body go still for a moment, his muscles tensing to hold him frozen.

Summary
Newly traded to the Ottawa Centaurs, Ilya Rozanov is so close to having everything he’d never thought he was allowed to want. He can see the man he loves more than four times a year, he’s surrounded by a team who supports him through his injury, and Shane’s parents have unhesitatingly accepted him as part of the family.
Except his lingering concussion symptoms have kept him sidelined from hockey, his boyfriend is still two hours away, their schedules are a disaster, and Shane’s team is, well…it’s full of assholes. There must be a way to make this all work out.
or
A sequel to a whump fanfiction with more whump…that is also, secretly, a fix-it.

Summary
“Il—y-ah!”
Ilya let out a soft chuckle. “I know,” Ilya breathed. “Come for me, Hollander. Be a good boy and come.”
Shane’s eyes rolled back at the words, lashes fluttering. His entire body went rigid for a moment—then his orgasm hit like a fucking tidal wave.

Summary
He was alone because Ilya had left because Ilya always had to leave. [...] He felt horrible. Ilya had left. Maybe Shane hadn’t been good enough? No, he would’ve left anyway. He always left.
But maybe he would’ve stayed a little longer if Shane had been better? Maybe if he’d been better, used more of those tricks he’d been trying to learn, he wouldn’t have left so soon. Maybe he would’ve wanted to stay like Shane wanted him to stay. Would’ve wanted to hold him like Shane wanted to ask him to do. Maybe Shane wouldn’t be trapped in this cavernous space between worlds, feeling like he was free-falling, searching for the path out of this emptiness.
OR
Shane experiences sub-drop for the first time. Ilya holds him through it.

Summary
Shane doesn’t say he’s overwhelmed.
He never does.
He shows up instead—later than planned, jaw tight, movements clipped like every second is being audited. His bag lands by the door with more force than necessary. He stands there for a moment too long, as if waiting for instructions he hasn’t been given.
Ilya clocks it immediately.
“Hey,” he says gently, already closing the distance. “Come here.”
Shane shakes his head once, sharp. “Just—give me a minute.”
Ilya gives him thirty seconds.
Then he takes Shane’s wrist—not tight, not demanding—and guides him further into the apartment. “Shoes off,” he says, voice calm, certain. “Jacket too.”or
Ilya takes care of an overwhelmed and overstimulated Shane by letting him float away into subspace for a bit.

Summary
It was during this hysterical lament that Ilya realized what was wrong, what was off. The initial softness, the confusion, the vulnerability. It was out of character — Shane was so often in control of himself, of what he said, even when emotions were high . . . with one exception.
If Ilya fucked him particularly . . . intensely, if he got Shane feeling a lot, he'd get soft afterwards. Quiet, a little ditzy, emotional. The first time it'd happened — or the first time he'd recognized it — was years ago in Las Vegas after winning MVP. He remembered the look on Hollander's face when he left — wide and teary-eyed, lip trembling, tripping over himself.
Since then, with a little trial and error, Ilya had learned how to manage it. Had grown to love it. If he treated him right, he could buff away all of Shane's sharp edges and be left with the soft, gooey inside. Floating and tethering himself to Ilya.
Now, Shane was out there, floating, without anyone to tether himself to. Falling. And suddenly Ilya was panicking, too.
or: shane, trying to get over rozanov, has sex with someone else and and falls into subdrop. scared and confused, he calls ilya.

Summary
A few months after Ilya joins the Centaurs, his apartment gets a gas leak. It's a perfectly inconvenient time to be out of housing, but luckily, Yuna and David come to the rescue. Now, Ilya just has to survive a week living with in-laws that may or may not hate his guts.
As it turns out, his expectations could not have been more subverted.

Summary
Ilya was down again.
This happened every year, every month even - Shane knew this. He expected it.
Sometimes, he saw it coming beforehand. He’d notice a vacant look in Ilya’s eyes, dishes left unwashed, little lapses in Ilya’s daily routine that most people would brush aside but that Shane knew meant he’d need to be a little more “on” than he normally was. Sometimes, though, Shane didn’t see it coming. Sometimes, out of nowhere, he’d interact with Ilya and Ilya would just be - well, he’d be there, but he’d be gone.
Yuna and David are in Moscow when they stumble upon Ilya's mother's grave.

Summary
He was used to being without her.
The pain never went away but the sting became manageable; something he could tuck away and avoid ever thinking about.
Except when he couldn’t.
Like during Hockey Moms Weekend.

He stays awake that night, and then the next.
It only starts to become an issue when he’s gotten by with less than an hour or two of sleep each night for the past six weeks.

Summary
https://ourflagmeanskink.dreamwidth.org/316.html?thread=706108&posted=1
prompt:
Stede/Ed/Izzy, protecting the captain(s), partial/full amputation, recoveryPartially inspired by other prompts where the crew gets captured in some way and aren't able to escape, and Izzy purposely pisses off their captors to draw attention away from Stede and on to himself. Basically, he opens his mouth and doesn't stop talking. He says anything that comes to mind to piss these guys off, up to the point where they threaten to cut his tongue out and then some.
would love to see the fallout (stitches/surgery, complications when it comes to performing his duties as First Mate, how it affects his relationship with Ed and Stede, the general trauma of the whole thing, and/or anything else along those lines).pre-relationship
+++If full amputation, Izzy tries to resign.
++++Regardless of the degree of the injury, it would be interesting if Izzy had to depend on Stede and Lucius to communicate (through writing).
