Summary
“It’s not something we’ve discussed too much,” Shane admits reluctantly. “I mean, I think we talked about it once or twice, after being around Hayden’s kids. But…I was afraid…I don’t know if you want…” His sentence falters and he presses a hand to his stomach, inhaling slowly like he’s trying to soothe more nausea.
It takes Ilya’s brain a few moments to process, to catch up, to piece together this half-filled puzzle Shane’s laying out for him.
“We talked about having babies,” Ilya supplies, arching an eyebrow, “are you trying to say we are…having a baby?”
Shane sucks in another slow, controlled breath. “Um, yeah. That’s what I’m trying to say.”
“You are pregnant?”
Wincing, the shorter man nods. “Mhm.”

Summary
He doesn’t go more than ten feet before the glint becomes more solid, and finally resolves into, yes, a mailbox. Thank fuck. There are letters on the side that he can’t quite make out until he gets closer.
A name: FOX.
“Are you fucking kidding me?” Alex shouts into the white void. The snow muffles most of the sound. Of all the fucking people.
(After an ill-advised attempt to get off the mountain before a snow storm hits, Alex finds himself stuck for god knows how long sharing the too-large house of his least favorite neighbor. Good thing there are lots of bedrooms, so at least he can stay far away from Henry Fox. Right?)

Summary
That’s what’s so dangerous about Shane. Not the kind eyes, not the temptation, not the little voice in the back of Ilya’s head that he feeds that keeps telling him to fuck it all and choose happiness over duty, over stability, over birthrights and stipulations. The danger is that Ilya has spent a lifetime perfecting the art of keeping things to himself, and Shane—with his empathy and his endless need to know—opens his mouth once and Ilya’s body spits out the truth before he can vet it first. Before he can make sure it’s safe. Not too much, not too vulnerable, not self-pitying, not a lie, but not necessarily the truth either. There is no just right when it comes to Shane. There is only impulse and hunger and, against every single fucking odd, a trust so deep that it’s in Ilya's blood now, helpless to pinpoint when it had first punctured and spread like a poison.
No. That isn’t right.
Like, maybe, the only antidote that Ilya has ever been offered without strings attached.

benefits of finding yourself a gym buddy by mae, onthewaytosomewhere (mae) for LouiKazooie

Summary
Alex’s hatred of Henry had started the way most gym rivalries start—with theft. Equipment theft, to be precise. Henry had stolen the squat rack Alex had been marching toward with righteous purpose. And, of course, that was practically a capital offense in Alex’s book, on top of the spectacularly shitty day he’d already been having. Henry wasn’t just a stranger in compression shorts anymore—he was an enemy. His gym nemesis. His arch-rival in spandex or skimpy little shorts depending on the day.
So the fact that there was now awkward flirting between them was confusing and infuriating and—if Alex were being honest with himself—kind of fucking hot.

Summary
“You! Uh…”
“Claremont-Diaz, sir,” Alex says, throwing up a salute for good measure. He knows he’s fucked up.
“Claremont-Diaz. I know you’re new, but surely someone’s taught you that when your CO is speaking, your mouth needs to be shut.”
“Yes, sir, I was just saying to Clark here that…”
“Irrelevant, Claremont-Diaz.” Captain Windsor turns to the rest of the company, haughty expression, nose up in the air like he can’t stand the smell of them. His men. “Commandos! Drop and give me fifty push-ups, now. Then maybe Private Claremont-Diaz will learn to keep his big mouth shut while his superiors are speaking.”
“Oh my fucking Christ, this guy,” Alex mutters under his breath, even as he does what he’s told.--
In the spring of 1945, Private Claremont-Diaz pitches up in Scotland for Commando Basic Training. Captain Windsor is in charge of his company, and though they do not see eye to eye at first, things certainly develop from there.

I'm gonna be very clear: though this is set during WWII we're very much staying away from battles and the general horrors of war. We're here for fluff and falling in love.
