    Summary

    "Why are you not scared?"

    "I am scared," Ilya admits. "I just am tired. Of hiding me. Of hiding you. Of hiding how much I love you. I want to go to the rink— how do you say it? Authenti."

    "Authentically," Shane supplies, automatically.

    "Yes. Authentically. I want to go to the rink authentically, as me," Ilya confirms.

    Ilya looks at Shane, pauses until Shane meets his eyes. "I want to say: I, Ilya Rozanov, love a man, and that man's name is Shane Hollander."

     

    -

    Or, sometimes it takes a little more time, and some courage, to be with the one you love.

    Summary

    Isak Valtersen is a scientist living a quiet, simple life with his fiancée. Perfectly content with what he has, he spends his time focusing on his career and the upcoming wedding.

    One evening he receives an invitation that brings back the memories of a different life he used to have, a time when he was an aspiring dancer at a small company, striving to make his way to the National Ballet.

    And then a new dancer arrived.

    The person who stole his heart, only to smash it to pieces.

    And now, a decade later, Isak crosses paths with him.

    All this time he'd been convinced of having reached closure with the past.

    Has he?

     

    The EVAK ballet AU I had to write. Inspired by/based on the film "And then we danced."

    Summary

    Even's ready to spend a chill senior year enjoying his last year of high school before graduation. But first he'll need to pass Chemistry, a class he's so spectacularly bad at that it’d take a miracle. What's more, he's landed the notorious Isak Valtersen as a lab partner. What little is known about Isak comes from largely outlandish and unfavorable rumors: whispers have ranged from him being a ruthless heartbreaker to his rumored participation in underground fight clubs.

    But the boy sitting beside him every 3rd period period seems far from the rumors, and Even’s fascinated. Isak wears his hood up indoors. He doesn’t talk much. He scowls more than he smiles. And for someone who sleeps through every class, he aces every exam. Even just so happens to desperately need a Chem tutor, but he wants to be Isak’s friend more, and he’s happy to use as many terrible chemistry puns as it’ll take to get there.

    Throw in a class president election that Even somehow finds himself running for, an actual underground fight club, and the fact that their lab experimentation isn’t the only chemistry happening between him and his lab partner, and somehow—Even finds his senior year turning out a little less chill than expected.

    Summary

    “What do you want in return?”

    “As I've always said, I want nothing.”

    “If you still can’t be honest, then I have no business trusting you. We’re done here.”

    Ivan racked his brain for something, anything that might anchor Lovro and keep the conversation from slipping through his fingers.

    “Come to the Silvercrest gala with me.”

    Or

    Ivan Kovačić was everything Lovro Dević hated.
    Lovro was everything Ivan couldn't stay away from.

    Lovro was drowning in debt, danger, and a secret he was ready to take to the grave.
    Ivan was determined to save him.
