    Summary

    Dr. Shane Hollander is a linguist, better at translating hieroglyphs than his own thoughts. His theory about a lost Pharaoh could lead to the greatest archeological discovery since Tutankhamen, but it will mean working with the most arrogant - and attractive - man he’s ever met.

    Ilya Rozanov is an infamous treasure hunter with a terrible reputation. Uptight, boring Dr Hollander is everything he loathes about academia rolled into one distractingly adorable package, but Ilya needs his help to find the treasure he has spent his career searching for.

    As their quest brings them reluctantly closer, Ilya will have to pull off the greatest heist of his life to capture Dr Hollander’s respect and Shane might need to learn the most difficult language of all: that of his own heart.

    or: Shane may not be an explorer or an adventurer or a gunfighter, Mr Rozanov, but he is proud of what he is (I am an Egyptologist!).

    Summary

    The pounding on the door is what jolts Shane awake. Instinctively he tries to jump to his feet and rush to get it, but a heavy weight around his torso and on top of his legs prevents him from moving. As consciousness slowly returns to him, breaking through the haze of his hangover—and possible still-drunken state—he realizes that he is being held by Rozanov.

    “Shane Hollander, open the door, now!”

    “Oh my god, oh my fucking god. Jesus fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fucking hell. That is my fucking mother.”

    “It helped that most girls were just excited I was talking to them. A lot were hockey fans? It made it easier. Like I could just talk with them about hockey until I had to, you know...”

    Shane had fucked puck bunnies? Multiple?

    Before he started dating Ilya, Shane hooked up with women to convince his team and himself that he was straight. Ilya finds out and has a lot of feelings on the subject. Then he makes a plan.

    Summary

    “Boys, I appreciate the thought you’ve put into this so far,” Yuna said. “But there’s no way you're hiding this for ten years. It is going to leak. We need an actual reasonable plan for you to come out safely and be happy so you can do this on your own terms and not be miserable.”

    --

    The ten-year plan was never going to work. Fortunately, thanks to Yuna, Shane and Ilya now have a new and improved plan that could have them safe and happy in just a year or two's time. They just have to want it bad enough.

    Ottawa a year early. Support from friends and family. Therapy. Rebranded images. A more confident and secure Shane. A public friendship hard launch. A relationship soft launch.

    There's a lot to do. It's time to put in the work.

    Summary

    “I can’t tell you anything.”

    ”Oh, come on!” She whined and Shane couldn’t help but laugh. “When have you ever been able to talk to a friend about the hot guy you’re seeing?”

    ”We’re not see—“

    ”Or not seeing.” He could practically hear her eyes rolling. “Semantics. Answer the question.”

    ”Never. Obviously.”

    Summary:
    Ilya is finally at the cottage. He’s beautiful in the mornings. He scratches his tummy when he’s sleepy. Shane is so enamored and he needs someone to know. So what if that text message Shane received from Rose wasn’t the only one?

    Moments at the cottage you missed, the text messages Shane sends about a mystery guy to the only other person who knows he’s gay, and the one text he sends to the wrong person by accident.

    Summary

    Everyone reading this knows Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are in love.

    Hayden Pike and Cliff Marleau are about to find out the hard way: in an empty parking lot, after a hit that ended Shane's season, with absolutely no idea what they're going to do about it.

    Two idiots, one secret neither of them asked for, and a slow, reluctant, increasingly unhinged campaign to put it right.

    Summary

    “It is nice to meet you, Shane Hollander.” Ilya nods his head at the crumpled paper in Shane’s hand. “What is that you have there?”

    “Oh.” Shane’s cheeks are a perpetual state of flushed red. “Before I came, I made a list of, um, things I am looking for in a car? Practical things, I guess. I didn’t want to forget.”

    Ilya’s lips quiver, and he resists the urge to let an incredibly fond smile overtake his face. This tall, muscular omega could not be more precious if he was made of teddy bears and heart stickers.

    “May I see it?” Ilya inquires, extending his hand again.

    With visible reluctance, Shane passes over the piece of notebook paper.

    Ilya glances up at Shane, arching an eyebrow. The omega smiles shyly at him, his warm brown eyes glimmering.

    “Am I completely out of my mind to try and find all of these things in one car?” he asks.

    “I never let a customer leave unhappy.” He winks at Shane, who lets out a small, startled laugh. It’s an utterly breathtaking sound, even as brief as it is.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is a former professional cyclist who now owns a bike shop in Colorado. Ilya Rozanov, the tattoo artist who owns the shop next door, thinks boy scout Shane Hollander should take a ride on his motorcycle instead. But what starts out as a casual fling can't stay that way for long--not once Shane and Ilya discover the depths of their chemistry (and Ilya the many benefits of little spandex shorts). Both of them have been hurt before, and the only way to move forward is to get over their pasts. It's a hill climb in both directions, but if Shane Hollander can do anything, it's push himself to endure the burn when he knows the ride home will be that much more satisfying.

    Summary

    It's mid season, 2015, and Ilya is in a slump. But at least Hollander is too.

    Too bad they aren't playing each other for another three weeks, nice that they each have some privacy though.

    For the Prompt: Either of them drunk texting/drunk calling at any point between Vegas and tuna melts.

    Summary

    Shane was looking down. His eyes were squeezed shut, his brow furrowed in intense, painful concentration. His lips were moving, silently shaping the words. Good. Night. Forming them slowly, carefully, in the secret space of his own mouth.

    Ilya’s breath hitched. He’d never seen this. Why would he have? Shane had never been sad around him. Never hurt. Never in this kind of quiet, defeated pain. Around Ilya, Shane had been pleasured and angry and frustrated and gloriously competitive. But never this. Never shattered.

    (or, everything is same but Shane has a slight stutter that gets bad when he's sad. Ilya has never heard it because Shane has never been sad around him. Until their night in Vegas.)

    Summary

    “You didn't keep your end of the deal,” he spits, watching Rozanov's head swivel towards him with alarming speed. That probably hurt a little. Rozanov hadn't heard him come back, apparently. Spaced out, apparently. Not thinking about all the kisses he fucking owes Shane, apparently.

    “What?”

    Or, Shane demands he get a kiss from Ilya in Las Vegas instead of leaving.

    Summary

    “Are you sure?” The silky tone of Rozanov’s voice does nothing to hide the disdain dripping from it. “You have kept me waiting already. You will do the same to Sébastien?” The pronunciation is poisonous enough to make Shane flinch. “You might lose your reputation as Canadian golden boy.”

    Bile and rage swirl deep in Shane’s gut. Where the fuck does Rozanov get off acting like he’s somehow been wronged here when he’s out getting his dick wet with half the Eastern Seaboard? “That’s not your problem.” He wraps his legs around Rozanov again and pulls him in tightly, letting his phone clatter to the counter. “You gonna worry about my good name or are you gonna fuck me?”

    Shane wants what he can't have. He almost says so.

    Summary

    He attempts to sound calm. “Is that your phone?”

    “Yeah. I better check.” Hollander is frowning and already pulling away. He sounds distracted. Ilya feels a sense of foreboding. “I don’t usually get messages at this hour so it might be an emergency.”

    Ilya does not know if it is an emergency or not. The immediate squeezing sensation in his chest at the screen saying there is one new message from Sébastien certainly feels like a cardiac event. The notification would be easy enough to brush off, but the way Hollander has gone stock-still under his hands sends a creeping cold up his spine that crystallizes into a vision of the blank spaces in Hollander’s night before now. Maybe many other nights before now.

    There is a dull throb behind his eyes. “Do you need to answer that?”

    Sequel to "hunger hurts but starving works" from Ilya's POV. Can be read as a standalone.

    Summary

    Ilya frowns. "Hollander, when I fuck people I am in the habit of getting them off. Surely you know this by now."

    "I— fuck, I'm not explaining this right." Hollander scrubs a hand down his face. "I do want to come, just not…" He gestures vaguely between them. "I want to kind of… train my body?"

    "Ah," Ilya says, a sly smile growing on his face. He backs Hollander up to the edge of the bed, his hands in his pockets."You want to take longer than thirty seconds, is that it?"

    He shoots Ilya a dirty look. "Fuck you, it's not thirty seconds."

    "This is true, sometimes it is a whole minute."

    Hollander gives him a shove. "You know what, maybe I don't want to fuck after all—"

    "No, no, is okay, I am only teasing," Ilya says soothingly. He presses their hips flush together, biting back a groan to find Hollander is just as hard as he is. "Is very hot, that you cannot control yourself around me."

    A shadow of uncertainty passes over Hollander's face. "I want to. Control myself." His tongue darts out to wet his lower lip. "So if I get close, I need you to stop."

    Summary

    It’s ironic, really, that the first time Ilya ever brings up an Omega he’s interested in is also the moment Shane knows for certain something that he’s been trying to deny for years.

    That Shane is utterly, irrevocably, devastatingly head over heels in love with his best friend.

    It’s the only secret he’s ever kept from Ilya. It seems like it’s going to be one that he’s taking to his grave.

    Ilya is planning to build a nest for the Omega he’s courting. Shane has feelings about that.

    or the best friends to lovers omegaverse college AU nobody asked for.
