    Summary

    “Holy shit, dude,” Hayden whispers, too loudly, as he pulls Shane away. “No way you were just talking to Ilya Rozanov.”

    “Uh, yeah. We just met. Wait, did he lie to me?” Shane asks, looking back over his shoulder where Ilya is now standing next to a short but very muscular woman with long black hair. “What does he play?”

    Hayden stops, so Shane does too.

    “You don’t know who that was?” 

    Shane makes a face that says ‘no shit’, and waits for an answer. 

    “Dude. You are so innocent. Ilya Rozanov, ‘Russia’s Greatest Love Machine’?” Hayden says, like it’s obvious. 

    Shane looks at him blankly, and then Hayden laughs. Not like, a chuckle. He full on cackles, bending over like he can’t even contain it. “Man, he’s like prolific.”

    “At what?” Shane snaps, because he’s getting really sick of not being in on the joke. 

    “He’s a porn star, man.” 

    “A-” Shane says, swallowing thickly. “What?” 

    ---

    Ilya is a porn star, Shane is a hockey player, and their paths cross.

    Summary

    Four times Ilya Rozanov reminded everyone exactly who the fuck they were dealing with (spoiler: still an asshole, still elite, still not going anywhere), and one time he didn’t have to be anything except soft.

    Or being out didn’t make him nicer. Being married didn’t make him softer. Being older didn’t make him weaker. And being a father? Well. That’t when things get complicated.

    (He’s really good at that last part. Don’t tell anyone.)

    Summary

    Louis was not feeling especially charitable towards him at the moment, so as far as true love’s kiss went (a cliche, as if getting cursed wasn't bad enough), Lestat would be getting nowhere.

    But it didn’t matter at all. Lestat was scared and miserable and he had a tail and he needed to see him.

    Lestat gets on the bad side of a witch. Louis, against his better judgement, gets a cat.

    Summary


    The refugee called Human One knows three things about SecUnits:

      They watch so closely they almost know what you’re thinking.
      They can move faster than your flinch.
      If they decide you have to die, then that’s it for you.

    The refugee called Human One thinks three things about the person who tumbled into the cargo module she and her fellow escapees are trapped in, ready to save them:

      They stand tall and steady.
      They talk like they care.
      They act like they can trust her.

    Human One is about to reconcile what she thinks and what she knows with the end of a gun.

    (The rescue scene in Fugitive Telemetry from the refugee's perspective.)
