    Summary

    Shane Hollander can handle twenty thousand screaming fans, high-stakes games, and the kind of pressure that never really lets up.

    He cannot, however, handle preschool drop-off.

    Fortunately, Teacher Ilya can.

    (It involves a stuffed bunny, a city with no mayor, and maybe something more.)

    Summary

    Based off a Tumblr post by rainbow-femme
    (They came up with the WHOLE idea, I just turned it into a fic)

    Shane Hollander has exactly two modes with greeting cards: "Love, Shane" and emotional devastation. Ilya has watched the damage—Hayden sobbing in the kitchen and Yuna going quiet over the birthday cake. He thought he understood what he was in for.

    He did not understand.

    Summary

    “Hollander,” Rozanov interrupted, his hand cupping Shane’s jaw. “You talk too much.”
    Shane swallowed and met his gaze. He could almost see the same desperation there that he felt in his entire body. He needs this too. The thought made Shane feel brave.
    “Why don’t you shut me up then?”
    ___________

    It’s the day before Christmas and Ilya’s flight back to Boston is cancelled. How lucky that he has a friend in Montreal. A very willing friend.

    OR: Ilya gives Shane the best Christmas present of his life.

    Summary

    No matter the trope.
    No matter the universe.
    No matter the setup.
    They find each other.

    “What if I am boyfriend?” Ilya asked through a mouthful of noodles.

    “Huh?” Shane paused his nibbling on a piece of eggplant. The black bean sauce was outstanding.

    “I can be the boyfriend,” Ilya said. “When is the wedding?”  

    “February fourteenth.” Shane cringed.

    “That is so…. What is word, cliche?” Ilya clarified. Shane confirmed with a nod. “Fine, I will have time off then.”

    “I-I can’t ask you to do that,” Shane stammered.

    “Is not a big deal, Hollander, you need fake boyfriend and I get a trip to, where was it, Kauai?” Ilya grinned. “It would be nice to take a week off and enjoy the sun.”

    Shane thought about it for a moment. Actually, having Ilya there could be fun. And it would definitely get his family and friends off his back about him settling down.

    “Only if it’s not too inconvenient,” Shane said, picking at the sauteed pea shoots on his plate.

    “It will be fine. I am a great boyfriend,” Ilya said.

    Summary

    No matter the trope.
    No matter the universe.
    No matter the setup.
    They find each other.

    “Great, I just need some info from you.” Shane flipped to a new page in the order book and pulled out his favorite pen. “What’s your name?”

    The man tilted his head, smiling almost indulgently at him. Shane waited patiently, then smiled awkwardly when there was no name forthcoming. “You don’t know?” the man said.

    “Your name? No, I don’t– sorry, have we met before?” Shane asked, suddenly embarrassed. He didn't remember seeing this man in the shop before. Oh god, had they gone on a date and he forgot? It had been awhile since he went out with anyone, so it must have been quite a long time ago if that was the case. But Shane was sure he would remember someone who looked and sounded like that.

    The man’s smile widened. “I must just have one of those faces,” he said. “My name is Ilya.”
