Summary
Listen, I won't sugarcoat it. It's Jim Lovell/Jack Swigert awkward Apollo 13 smut. I wrote it on a whim and I'm not proud of it. Take it. Somewhere out there, SOMEONE has to be a little less than completely unenthusiastic about this, right?

Summary
Father Christopher Pike, a Jesuit from Earth's Vatican Observatory, wakes up from a coma with no memories of his life, his past, or the five years he's supposedly spent as part of an interfaith monastic community on the moon of Delta IV, where he is the sole human among eight scholars representing different belief systems from throughout the galaxy - from a Romulan nun of the Qowat Milat, to a Trill Guardian, to a Klingon monk from Boreth. But as he attempts to acclimate to a life he doesn't remember, the only thing he recognizes is the face that greeted him upon waking: Spock, the cohort's resident Vulcan, who lives next door and is supposedly Pike's closest friend. After a mind meld helps Pike recover his memories of their life together at the monastery, the intimacy between them begins to deepen, and suddenly their vows of celibacy feel oppressive in a way they didn't before.
But even as the spark between them grows more difficult to ignore, Pike and Spock still can't shake the unsettling feeling that this isn't their real life . . . or the worry that somebody, somewhere, seems willing to go to dangerous lengths to stop them from getting back to it.

Summary
"I want to eat you out."
Shane's gaze narrows in confusion. "But … I don't have…"
Ilya's thumb brushes over his hole. Once. Twice.
When it clicks, Shane groans. "Ilya, that's gross," he says, hand coming up to cover his blush.
Ilya grabs his arm, wrenches it away from his face. "No, you just showered. You are telling me you don't wash your ass? Shane Hollander doesn't wash his ass?"

Summary
2014: Ilya Rozanov shocks the world and breaks Shane Hollander’s heart by disappearing without explanation, and without a goodbye kiss.
2024: A devastating injury forces Shane to retire early, so he moves to a small town to coach girls hockey and figure out what the hell to do with the rest of his life.
When recently divorced Ilya Rozanov walks into the rink with his twin girls, Shane has to decide if he’s brave enough to risk a second chance on a broken heart, and a rekindled romance with the first and only boy he ever loved.
***
“So.” Ilya cleared his throat. “Should we tell the girls their Daddy and their coach used to date?”
“We didn’t date. We hooked up a few times, then you disappeared.” Shane looked away to hide his heartbreak as he lied, “It doesn’t even matter. It’s not like I loved you or anything.”
“No, of course not.” Ilya tried to smile through a lie of his own, “I didn’t love you either.”
