    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.

    Summary

    "Sorry," Lovro says, and whether he's apologizing for checking him out again or forgetting to take his order, he's not even sure himself. "What would you like?"

    "Your name," the guy replies without hesitation, not breaking eye contact.

    Lovro's jaw drops open slightly. He sputters. "I—What?"

    The guy lifts an eyebrow. "Well, since we're all exchanging names," he tilts his head in the direction of Sonja and Ema, who are now deep in some hushed conversation, half-made drink all but forgotten about on the counter, "what's yours?"

    Or

    In which Lovro and Sonja work together at the coffee shop, and they have respective crushes on their customers, Ivan and Ema.

    Summary

    “Lovro, we’ve been friends for eleven years,” Ivan said.

    He let out a weak, breathy laugh. “Okay?”

    “I know when there’s something up.”

    “There’s nothing up,” Lovro said, swallowing thickly, forcing a shrug.

    Summary

    "You will bend for me many times, I think, before this production is over."

    Shane means to say no. He means to tell Ilya Rozanov—arrogant Bolshoi principal dancer and professional pain in his ass—to fuck off and stop moving set pieces without permission. Instead, he ends up on his knees in a dressing room, which is definitely not how the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s stage manager is supposed to handle conflict resolution.

    Three weeks until opening night. One impossible rivalry. And absolutely no way this ends well.

    or: Ilya comes to Winnipeg for The Nutcracker. Shane tries very hard to hate him. The mind-blowing hate-sex doesn’t help.

    Summary

    “Really, now?” Adam snorted, “Sure. Hours, months even, of trying to get you motivated and writing. Nothing you've done has been remotely worth recording, but your midnight drinking binge was really the key. I bet I'll love it.” 

    “You will. It's about you.”

    It took less time to process than Ronan expected. Or more. Seconds were blurring and signals crossing; once he'd hit the second bottle of cheap, convenience store vodka, things began to blend. Meld. All shit, jet-fuel alcohol sugars. Adam's face stilled, like the halting of facial procedures helped him compute information faster. 

    “And that…” Adam swallowed. “That was… inspiring for you?”

    “Listen to the song and tell me how inspiring it is.” Ronan wiggled the device, again. “Come on. Most guys are flattered by this shit.”

    “You wrote a song about me?”

    “I write a lot of songs about you.” Ronan blinked, twice.

    Summary

    Lovro has a girlfriend, so when he downloads a dating app and sets his preference to men, it’s obviously just curiosity.

    Until he matches with Ivan. He didn't plan on liking him. He definitely didn’t plan on meeting him in real life. And he really didn’t plan on becoming someone else just to talk to him.

    So now he's stuck in between two versions of himself, the one Ivan knows, and the one Ivan likes.

    Summary

    Patina (noun): a gloss or sheen on a surface resulting from age or polishing; the quiet mark left by repeated moments, a subtle change that builds over time, like the trace left on a heart by noticing someone again and again.

    ***

    Lovro works at a thrift store, he looks cool, he goes home. Simple.

    Then Ivan walks in.

    Lovro tells himself that it’s nothing, that it’s a trifle for customers to come and go.

    Yet, what bothers Lovro the most is that he isn’t exactly sure why he keeps noticing the guy.

    Outside, he made a confident move towards his Tomos, on the principle that fortune favours the bold. “Let’s take the scooter,” he said.

    “No,” said Sonja. “That’s a death trap. We’ll take the tram.”

    “I bought you this helmet and I never got to use it.” He rapped it once with his knuckles. “Not once.”

    “Did I ask you to get it for me? Come on, Ivan. Let’s go. I want to see your new school. I want to take a lot of pictures of you and send them to my mother so she can say how grown up and handsome you are now.” She pulled at his arm and he let her guide him.
