Summary
“Ilya,” he clarified, wincing as he swallowed, his throat feeling like he’d eaten a fistful of glass. “I need to call Ilya.”
He fumbled around for his phone, desperately needing to hear his fiance’s voice. Together, they could figure this out. They’d make a plan. Ilya could drive with his parents from Ottawa and–
But Ilya wasn’t in Ottawa. He was in Russia.
No.
No.
They’d kill Ilya in Russia. They’d kill him, or arrest him, or– or–
Oh god, they’d kill him.
__________________________________________________________________________A family emergency means Ilya is in Russia when Hayden's FanMail video ends up on Twitter, outing them to the entire world. It, predictably, ends horribly.

Summary
Ilya glances at Shane, at the way the dying light is catching in his hair, refracting. At that spiderlily mouth, slightly open and curling coyly, two teeth peeked through the dark gap like an American Girl doll. At that shoulder, bare and pale and close enough to touch if Ilya just leaned forward, if he just reached out and took another liberty.
To touch another person is to say: I know you will die, and I am doing this anyway.
His mother used to say something like this. About painting.
Every portrait is an act of faith, Ilyushenka. Faith and futility both.

contrary to personal preference, ilya gets a roommate.

Summary
the hat rule (noun)
/ðə hæt ro͞ol/A cowboy tradition in which placing one’s hat on another person’s head is a public claim of romantic and/or sexual intent.
Ex. "Viktor reached up, hands steady, and plucked Jayce’s hat from his head. Then, in one slow and deliberate motion, he set it firmly onto his own."OR
I apparently have a thing for making jayvik fuck in places they shouldn't fuck, like churches, but this time they do it in a BARN.

Summary
The distress call comes when they’re just entering deep space.
“Mayday, mayday,” the capcom crackles, radio static blurring the syllables almost incoherent. “This is—SOS call and—signal—”
The transmission cuts out with a loud pop.
Alternatively: Yoongi isn't expecting to meet an unreasonably beautiful omega from Aphrodite-7 during a routine delivery trip, and he definitely isn't expecting to fall in love with him. Sometimes, though, the universe doesn't exactly give you much choice in these things.
