Summary
Shane Hollander has spent his whole life translating himself for a world that moves too fast and cares too little about the right things. Ilya Rozanov has never needed anyone to wait for him. Spring training gave them five weeks, a back field no one was watching, and a private language neither of them named.
It wasn’t supposed to mean anything. A pitcher and a catcher from rival organizations, learning each other’s signals. Convenient. Temporary. Easy to leave behind.
It wasn’t easy to leave behind.
Now they’re both in the Majors – Boston and New York, red and pinstripes, opposite sides of the oldest war in baseball – facing each other eighteen times a season in front of a country that has opinions about this rivalry. Every at-bat is a negotiation between what they know about each other and what they’re not allowed to want. The chemistry that made them brilliant in secret could unravel everything in public.
A slow burn about longing, bad timing, and the unbearable intimacy of knowing exactly how someone throws.

Summary
Ilya Rozanov would do anything to stop his kids from crying. Apparently, that includes cutting off his own hair.
Or,
Shane and Ilya's toddler gets slime stuck in her hair. The attempted rescue goes badly, and Ilya tries to make her feel less alone by matching her botched haircut. Shane is not thrilled.

Summary
“I’m exhausted, Shane. I’m exhausted from waiting and pretending I’m okay with waiting. I am exhausted from being patient and stable and impressive in interviews and then coming home and staring at an empty room upstairs. It’s exhausting to remember that after all of this, after the interviews and the classes and telling strangers about our childhoods and our relationship and our finances and every private thing we have ever survived, that someone still has the power to decide if they think we’re good enough.”
“The crib is built,” Ilya says, voice shaking now. “There’s a tiny mobile with woodland creatures hanging above it. The car seat is in the closet. It’s been so long, the nursery doesn’t even smell like paint anymore. We’re about to go into the most intense month of the year, and I don’t know how to hold both things in my hands without dropping one and shattering the other.”
It begins with small moments like glances that linger a second too long, the quiet realization that maybe they want more. When Shane & Ilya decide to adopt, they think they’re prepared for the waiting, the interviews, the scrutiny, the careful hope. But they aren’t prepared for how much of themselves it will ask for.

Celeste Navarro:
PAUSE.
BACK UP.
Did Jackie add Ilya to our WAGs group chat?Hannah Wilson:
Is this even allowed?
It kinda feels illegal.
No offense, Rozanov. It’s just that you play for the other team.Ilya Rozanov:
Is that…
How you say? Double meaning?Celeste Navarro:
HA!----
Or the one where Ilya Rozanov has a minor crash out after learning Rose Landry is still in the Metros WAG Group Chat but he hasn't been added & now he must infiltrate the group because he is the ultimate wife.
**This is a current crack fic WIP that accidentally developed a plot. I hope to have updates posted once a week-ish, but there is no publishing schedule.

Summary
Rather than give him the joint, Ilya takes it back between his own lips and sucks in a deep breath, the tip glowing as he does so. Then, before Shane can process it, he’s reaching up and sliding one large hand around the back of Shane’s neck, pulling him down so their lips meet.
Shane gasps softly, and Ilya takes the opportunity to blow smoke into his open and waiting mouth.
Oh, God. Are you there? It’s me, Shane Hollander. We’ve had our differences, but I think I’d like to convert for real this time. I’m ready. Open the pearly white gates. I’m coming up.
Shane goes to a house party, gets high, then gets on his knees. bon appetite
