Summary
Shane is heavier than he used to be; his weight bears down on Ilya in a new way. He’s put on pounds of muscle since Ilya last touched him like this. Ilya flattens his palms, skims them under Shane’s undershirt, feels the flat solidity of his abs, the bulk of his lats, the swell of his chest. It’s the same and it’s new, this body; it’s the boy he couldn’t stop thinking about when he was 18 and the man he loved enough to let go at 26 and the person who somehow always comes to find him when he’s lost.
A stranger, and the love of his life.
—
or, Ilya's father doesn't die in 2017; Ilya breaks up with Shane instead of confessing his love. They get older, but not any less stupid about each other. Shane gets a boyfriend; Ilya gets on medication; they work on becoming whole people. And they always find their way back to each other.
OR a story for those who love Shane and Ilya's baby love but ALSO think it's hot when people in their thirties make active choices about who they are and what they want in their partner!!
Note: the "cheating" tag refers to the relationship between Shane and his aforementioned BF, not to Shane and Ilya cheating on each other.

Summary
🍉
Climbing into his head was easy. When pleasure reached its peak, all walls crumbled down, allowing him a glimpse inside. Another trinket, another location.
It was worth the pain. The blood. The numbness.
War was made for sacrifices, and Regulus Black had given his own body, his sense of sanity, his life, up for the Greater Good. It was okay. It was fine. Everything was fine.
But when a certain green-eyed boy gets thrusted into Regulus’s arms, and he’s given the responsibility to care for him until it’s time for the butcher to come out, Regulus is forced to decide whether the end of this war is worth setting aside his morals, his soul, and possibly his life.
—
Or; the one where Regulus gets forced out of hiding to face the world, make the right but painful decisions, and fights with more than just one Dark Lord.

Summary
"Listen, Mr. Rozanov." The general manager is talking out of the side of his mouth, his cigarette dropping ashes all over the hotel table. "We like you. We want you. We understand you are putting yourself under a fair amount of risk here, meeting with us like this. I hope it's obvious that if you play for us, we will set you up for a good life in Canada."
He pauses, looks Ilya in the eye. "But you have to understand, if you agree to this, you have to be prepared to leave with us right now."

Summary
Shane Hollander has spent the better part of the last five years knocking out hit after hit for the Assassin's Guild and becoming one of the most lethal agents in the business. After a series of unprecedented, wildly successful cases across the country, his boss pulls him off the active case roster for eight months. He's been keeping tabs on the Boston Bratva for years and has finally deemed Shane ready to take out their leader, Morpheus.
The only problem is that undercover agents have been able to turn up little to no information regarding Morpheus's identity. The only information the Guild has been able to dredge up is the name of one of their business fronts: a sophisticated private nightclub called Nyx, and the name of its director, bratva member Ilya Rozanov.
or: Ilya is a low ranking member of the Russian mafia and Shane is the assassin hired to kill his boss.

Summary
There’s a sign in front of Shane. It says Welcome to Scott Hunter and Kip Grady’s Happily Ever After in a cursive font that makes Shane think of Etsy. Shane’s stomach churns. He briefly squeezes his empty ring finger. He feels, all at once, like he might cry. Instead, he swallows, and breathes, and pastes a smile on his face, and marches his ass down to Scott and Kip’s fucking wedding of the century.

Summary
The Swiss National League doesn’t care about the legendary Hollander-Rozanov rivalry. When the MLH can’t negotiate with the Hockey Players’ Union in time to prevent a hockey lockout at the start of the 2015 season, the Zürich Lions jump at the chance to sign both Shane and Ilya to short-term contracts. For four months in Switzerland, they share a team, a line, a house, and a bed.
Then the lockout ends in January, and it’s time to go back. Back to different countries, cities, lives. Beds.
Reentry is harder than expected.

Taunting.
Watching.
Touching.

There was only so much Draco Malfoy could take. He was intelligent, he could see what was happening, what he was fighting for, what he had to pay for a cause he didn't even believe in. He wasn't brave, he didn't rush into situations without thinking first. He wasn't a Gryffindor.
Draco Malfoy was a Slytherin.
And he was about to show the world and a certain green-eyed Saviour, how useful Slytherins could be.-
Make a plan.
Unite the Houses.
And persevere.

Summary
On October 31, 1981, Lily Potter is found dead next to her son's crib and James Potter has never managed to shake the guilt of leaving her alone that night. Lost in grieving, he packs up his son and best friend and tries to start a new life on the other side of the world, far away from the wartorn wizarding world of his youth.
But the past refuses to be left behind. With the shadow of their departure mired in scandal back home that brands them with the scornful suspicion of a wizarding population whose minds turn easily, James and Sirius have spent the last ten years giving Harry the best childhood they can. Yet when Harry's letter inevitably comes, James struggles to come to terms with letting go, especially with the knowledge of the threat still out there amidst the manipulations of the most powerful wizard in magical Britain who wants nothing more than for his son to be canon fodder in the upcoming war, as well as a lingering bitterness between his remaining friends, and the whispers of the malignant presence of a man who should have remained dead.

Summary
Nearly a decade after his relationship with Draco Malfoy imploded, Harry has a good life. He’s riding a wave of entrepreneurial success in muggle Chicago, and, for the first time ever, he's beholden to no one. Meanwhile, Draco is in London, making a name for himself in politics, and appears to be happily married. And so what if neither one of them has ever stopped thinking about the way things used to be?
Everything changes, though, when Draco asks Harry to run as his Deputy Minister of Magic. It's a terrible idea, but before Harry knows it, he's leaving his life behind, buying a townhouse in London, and hitting the campaign trail.
Old feelings and long-buried secrets are unearthed as Harry and Draco fight to save the world from the newest version of wizarding supremacists. Soon, it becomes clear that nothing they thought they knew about their past was true, and the truth is more dangerous than they ever imagined.

Summary
Severus Snape didn't know what was going on with Harry Potter. One minute he was having a seizure and spending the night in the Infirmary, and the next he was gone. Three weeks later, he witnesses the boy miraculously reappear and slay the Dark Lord. Now he's sitting in Albus Dumbledore's office listening to the boy claim that he's from the future and the Master of Death while Voldemort's corpse hovers beside them. Potter has changed and Severus finds himself landed with a boy who isn't the same irritating brat that he once knew.
This was originally titled The Potion Master's Apprentice, written by Athy and abandoned, up for adoption. She has kindly allowed me to take her beautiful idea into my own hands to do with it as I will. It is still here on AO3 and you should go read it. I've used many of her words, her original concept, and then put my own twist on it. Thank you so much for letting me adopt your story.

Summary
"Black sheep is a derogatory colloquialism in the English language meaning an outsider or one who is different in a way which others disapprove of. This can be someone who has been shunned by others, or one who has chosen to be an outsider, due to actions and aims that separate them from the rest of the people or 'flock.'"
Five years after the end of the war, Harry runs into the last person he'd ever expected to have to meet again. In the aftermath of the crash, he will have to face the damage he's wrought and that has been wrought upon him. After such a collision, sometimes it's not possible to carry on along the same road one has been travelling—and sometimes you might even find you don't want to.
(Mostly written pre-DH. Also, Draco is a glorious lord of snark.)
