    Summary

    Shane tries to remember, peering into the darkness surrounding the car with a furrowed brow. It hurts to move, and he feels something warm and slick sliding down his cheek.

    More blood, his mind supplies rather unhelpfully.

    He was driving after dark, but he shouldn’t have been. He wasn’t supposed to be. They had all night together, so why is he here?

    I already chose you, Hollander.

    Shane inhales sharply as his mind slowly fills in the gaps in his memory. They fought. Ilya told him to leave. Shane did.

    And then he crashed.

    Summary

    Ilya doesn’t even realize when Arthur slips from his thoughts. There’s no sharp turn, no clear moment where the article stops being about a little boy who loves reptiles and starts being about the man lying beside him in bed. It just… happens. The way his mind always seems to find Shane eventually, like water finding its lowest point.

    Summary

    Shane dropped his gaze. “You’re really going to make me ask?”
    “Yes,” Ilya said. “You ask, maybe you get. So, ask.”
    “Okay,” Shane said. “I want you to fuck me.”
    Ilya started to laugh.
    “Don’t—this isn’t a fucking joke, alright?” Shane snapped. “Shut up. I want it to be different. Or, no—the same, but more. I want you to just make me fucking take it. Shit. I don’t know how to ask you for this.”
    “No, no, is good start so far,” Ilya said. “Go back to the part where I get to make you fucking take it. That’s good. Tell me more.”

    Summary

    Shane Hollander has always known how to live under scrutiny — how to be watched, measured, endured.

    He does not know how to live once safety is gone.
    And Ilya does not know how to love him without trying to bleed in his place.

    After a break-in fractures the illusion of normal, something shifts. The house feels unfamiliar. Silence grows teeth. Touch becomes something careful — or avoided entirely.

    Love stretches. Fear settles. And some wounds do not close simply because the door is locked again.

    This is a story about being taken — and about what remains.
    About endurance. About waiting. About loving someone who does not know how to love himself — and realising that sometimes love is not the thing that conquers, but the thing that survives.

    Or: A break-in changes everything. The danger that follows was never the one standing outside.

    Summary

    He's seen a few other guys get their bell rung. Has seen a couple of them get to their knees almost immediately; has seen them struggle to their feet, then almost wipe themselves out again. Has seen them kneeling with a dazed expression, trying to figure out where they are.

    And has seen a couple of them lie there. He's been one of them before.

    Swallowing down bile, he asks, "How long did I take to get up?"

    Please have tried. Please, please, have been one of those guys kneeling almost immediately. Please have been moving. Please have let Ilya seen that.

    A couple of years into playing on the same team together, Shane gets concussed. It's a little bit different this time.
