Summary
No one wanted the night to end, so the celebration party had moved from the locker room (where Shane had a few sips of warm beer out of the Cup and three-fourths of a bottle of champagne) to Monk's (where Shane had cold beer and too many jello shots that were in syringes of all things — that was 100 percent Dykstra's fault) to Bood's house (where he ate a few slices of pizza to sober up a little and washed it down with a Ginger Ale that Ilya had somehow acquired from seemingly out of thin air before Ilya and Troy challenged him and Luca to a game of beer pong, which Shane and Luca had lost spectacularly because Luca had no idea how beer bong worked). After the game, Ilya had brushed his fingers along Shane's spine as he ribbed Luca on his poor skills, and Shane's skin burned.
Suddenly, he was done with the parties.

Or, the story of how Shane and Ilya broke a dresser (and a front door) after they won the Cup.

Summary
Ilya knows that, between him and Shane, he's the more affectionate of the two. He's not sure if it's because he's from Europe, where everyone greets each other with a hug and a kiss on the cheek, or if it's because he grew up so starved for love and affection that he can't do anything except show Shane how much he loves him at any chance that he has.
So, yes, he knows that he's the one most likely to kiss Shane on the cheek when he skates by him at practice or come up behind Shane when he's cooking dinner just to wrap his arms around him or fall on top of Shane while he's reading on the couch, desperate to have his skin touching Shane's.
But, Shane… Shane loves Ilya differently. It's quieter. More intentional.
—
Or, five times that Shane loved Ilya in his quiet way, and one time that he loved Ilya loudly.

Summary
“Thanks for coming to see me,” Keith says again. He pulls away from Lance’s ear. “Let me show you how... thankful I am.”
And then, Lance can only watch as he slides out of Lance’s lap and onto the floor. Once he’s settled, Keith looks up at Lance through his lashes.

Summary
Even though he knew all these nooks and crannies of Keith Kogane, he didn't know what Keith did for a living. It wasn't a deal breaker by any means, but Lance still wondered. Every time he asked, Keith would reply with, "I'll tell you one day, I promise."
So far, Lance's number one suspicion was that Keith was in the mafia.
Then, one day, Keith handed Lance a simple, black business card with an address and phone number on it. Looking at the card did nothing to alleviate any of Lance’s suspicions.
Keith had looked hesitant, nervous. Normally, he was so sure of himself and every decision he made. But he stood in front of Lance, biting his lip, twisting his hands together, shifting from one foot to the other as he made a simple request. "Be there tonight? At 11? Please?" he asked haltingly. "I'll show you where I work."
Lance nodded, knowing this was important to Keith. "Yeah, of course," he agreed immediately.
Which was how Lance found himself here.
Outside of a…
Burlesque Club?

I'll be Jane by gurlsrool

Summary
It’s not going viral because Jane’s true identity was exposed—or even because Ilya was blatantly sexting in public. That part’s as expected as Shane doing yoga or any human being on earth breathing.
No, the texts are going viral because no one can believe how bad this “Jane” is at sexting.
The women of the world are outraged. The men of the world are baffled. No one can understand why Ilya Rozanov, whose abs have their own fan club, is wasting his time on ‘a piece of cardboard that wished to be turned into a real girl’ (this particular joke has 300k likes and counting).
Or: After a social media trend mocks Shane's sexting skills, he tries to improve them. It goes about as poorly as you'd expect.

Summary
Shane is the steady ground he stands upon, the hand that guides him, the very air that he breathes. They’re so entwined now, that Ilya is certain he would cease to exist if ever they were separated.
It’s maybe becoming a problem.
Or, 5 times Ilya and Shane try (and fail) not to be codependent, and 1 time they just give into it.

“We’re just, well-“ Choui hedges, then glances round as if he’s looking for back up.
“We’re worried that you’re a bit too controlling,” Hayes blurts out. “Of Rozanov.”
Shane opens his mouth to respond, but he closes it again when he realises he has no fucking idea what to say. He’s - what?

Summary
Shane grabbed a teaspoon from the drawer next to him and dipped it into the sauce, turning to face Ilya with his hand cupped underneath it to catch the drips. As he moved around the island, Ilya’s pulse picked up again and his brain smashed together a montage of nights like this from some imagined future. Shane cooking for him in their kitchen, offering his creation up for Ilya’s judgement. Maybe there would be a nice playlist on. Maybe the pasta would be actual pasta, not chickpea. Maybe they’d be cooking for more than just the two of them. Christ.
Balancing on the cusp of a something new, Ilya boards a flight to Shane's cottage for two weeks.
