    Summary

    Benoit forces himself to look up at Jud from where he was attempting to decipher the Father's scribbled notes. Jud stands there, shaky hands hanging loosely at his sides, in his dark sweater and grey sweatpants that Benoit knows are only staying up due to the efforts of some tightly-drawn drawstrings. Hair dripping, cheeks rosy, eyes bloodshot, beautiful. 

    Road to fucking Damascus.

    or: the days and months following martha's death

    Summary

    Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”

    “Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.

    “No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”

    “Go fuck yourself.”

    +++

    Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.

    And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?

    Summary

    He doesn’t beat you bare-fisted. You wish he would, so then at least you'd feel his touch. You circle him in the ring. You’re so fucked up it’s boring, chicklet. Yeah, I know, now put out that damn cigarette and put on your gloves.

    Summary

    A monarch was only as important as the people made him. It wouldn't work if you didn't hang your hopes on it. It quite literally couldn't be true if the maw of fantasy went hungry.

    But his beloved city had had a very long time to dream of kings.
