    Summary

    Shane Hollander is the youngest Commander in ISS history; straight-backed, closeted, and so tightly on his own leash that seven months in orbit with Ilya Rozanov have not produced a single crack in his composure.

    Ilya Rozanov is the Russian cosmonaut who should have had his job, won’t stop bouncing a tennis ball off the walls, and is still looking for a fissure. Thankfully, a solar storm finds it for him.

    or: Near-death, zero gravity, and the wrong man’s hands in exactly the right places.

    Summary

    “Hudson,” he whispers hoarsely. “We shouldn’t do this, right?” Even though he’s so fucking desperate.

    Hudson’s hands are in his hair, yanking him closer, and he pleas, “Just once, Connor. Just tonight.” He nudges their noses together. “I need you, one time, just to get it out of our systems.”

    “Just tonight?”

    “Yeah,” Hudson nods frantically. “Whatever we want, tonight. Then we move on.”

    It’s not a good idea, but Connor has never wanted anything more in his life.

    “Yeah,” he manages, still panting. “Just tonight.”

    -

    for two best friends, one time felt safe, until it became once a month, but in the end, the heart has its own calendar.

    Summary

    “Rozanov needs a place to stay. His visa won’t allow him to go home to Russia over the break, and we don’t have the cash to put him in a hotel.”

    Did the Harvard dorms completely shut down over the winter break? What about the dining hall? Shane supposed he didn’t really know. He’d never stuck around to find out, when he was younger. 

    “Okay?” 

    Coach raised his eyebrows. “So, he’s staying with you.” 

    Shane’s eyes went wide. 

    “What?” 

    “Come on, Captain,” Wiebe looked down his nose at Shane. “Try not to look too thrilled.”

    or, Shane's a senior captain with an empty house over winter break. and Ilya's the freshman who will be crashing his Christmas.

    Summary

    Hudson parted their lips, letting his head knock against the wall as he sighed softly, wondering how this ends. There was no one to call cut, and he and Connor-

    Well actually, Connor had moved his mouth down to his neck, and had started to slowly press some kisses into the side of it. Did that happen in the script?

    Hudson made a little noise that he cut off by biting his lip, his hands tightening on Connor's waist. He fluttered his eyelids, trying to find the resolve to cut Connor off because this really was getting a bit dangerous for him, especially with the involvement of neck kisses.

    A second later, Connor ended it for them. He made a sudden little pop noise with his mouth as he pulled away, gasping and looking up at Hudson with wide eyes.

    "Shit. I'm so sorry. I don't think that happens," Connor said to him, clearly back in his body because the accent had dropped.

    Summary

    The last time they’d spoken—a seven-minute FaceTime call they’d squeezed in between their schedules—Connor had asked him this: 

    "Did you know that we emit light until the day we die?

    Or the one where it takes three hundred miles and a breakdown or two for Hudson to admit a few things to himself.
