    Summary

    Shane can’t look at him, stares at the corner, at the mirror, unseeing, everything a little hazy around the edges. He can’t focus, everything in shapes and colours, his mind not catching the minutiae. It’s like he’s staring into an abyss. His lungs struggle to take in the acrid air around them. He feels separate to his own body, like he’s staring at the situation from somewhere far away.

    Then Rozanov is grabbing his face and his fingers are just the right pressure and the touch feels like a life preserver, like he could sink into it, like he could be safe there. Like Rozanov is holding up his whole body in one hand.

    But those hands have been on him before and he was left alone, untethered for six months.

    He slaps Rozanov’s hand away. Shane takes satisfaction in the surprise splayed across his face. So obvious, even Shane can recognise it.

    When Shane’s eyes meet Rozanov’s, the bland disinterest has been shuttered by something he can’t recognise. His face looks both the same and completely unlike it ever has before. Now that their gaze is locked, Shane can’t look away. Doesn’t even blink.

    “Fuck. You.”

    July 2026. Wow. This was a very lovely one-shot. Damn if we don’t get the sexiest penthouse scenes with Ilya removing his tuxedo shirt and Shane booty crawling to him, but this is practically a tie with the actual progress of clear communication and shared emotions 🫣😮 seeing them leak vulnerability is also so damn sexy!! 💕✨💋

    Hi. This is Ilya. I will never listen to your voicemail.

    The greeting wasn’t a joke or an exaggeration—it was the truth. Shane leaves messages anyway, confessions to a digital void that will never judge him, and never push him away.

    At least, that’s what he thinks.

    July 2 2026. Opal Opal Opal does Ilya pov damn well. The best voicemail fake out storyline in all of ao3. So devastating to endlessly hopeful - my heart can’t take it, but might as well read it again and again. Thank you Opal!

    Summary

    They’re not dating. They’re barely even friends. Shane should be in bed preparing for tomorrow’s game. But when Ilya shows up in Nashville wearing a stupid cowboy hat and that dangerous smile, things go from routine to risky: meeting up with Rozanov is a terrible idea. Dancing with him in a crowded bar where anyone could see is worse.

    But Shane’s never been good at saying no to Rozanov.

    July 1 2026. 10/10 Must read again And again. Heart eyes. Yearning and all the feels and some delicious smut. Opal is a superb writer!! 🤍🤍
    July 2 2026. Wow. An unexpected date night and something I’ve craved since I first watched the show - a sweet and irresistibly romantic one-shot and just an everyday slice of life that happens in between the larger moments of the book/show. But damn if Ilya ain’t pulling out all the stops in this one.
    24 hours and I’m rereading it like a giddy little school girl; elated with the layers this writer effortlessly weaves. Thank youj!
