    Summary

    Shane accidentally calls Ilya “daddy” in a casual, nonsexual way. Cool. Fine. Except for the fact that it lights this insane heat in Ilya’s chest and makes him ravenous. Which is…cool? …fine? Except for the fact that Shane catches on and becomes an absolute terror because what else does his boyfriend do when a wisp of competition hits the air? Ilya never should have pretended like this doesn’t drive him crazy, but he’s in it now. And he’s going to win.

    Shane has other plans.

    Summary

    The first time it happens, it's an accident. And really, even if he hadn't caught it, it wouldn't be his fault if someone decided to post it on the internet.
    But the more he thinks about it, a plan forms. If he can prove that Rozanov will leave when things get hard, or once Shane is no longer his dangerous and forbidden secret...
    It'll be like ripping of a bandaid for Shane, something he doesn't want to do, but needs to be done. So Hayden will do it for him, temporary pain, but necessary.
    Shane will thank him later.

    Summary

    When Yuna accidentally interrupts Shane and Ilya sharing an intimate moment, Ilya is completely willing to play the bad guy to control the situation. Even though he wants for the approval of Shane's parents, he will sacrifice it to establish clearly-needed boundaries. As if Shane would let him take this on alone.

    Meanwhile, Yuna does not entirely realize what she had stepped into, and she is left upset and defensive. David is horrified that his wife has apparently not been heeding his many (many) warnings to text ahead of time.

    One day Ilya may be the favorite son, and Shane can watch fondly as he solves puzzles and eats ice cream at his parents' house. It just takes some time and work and adjustment to get there.

    Summary

    A mostly crackfic series that asks, what if Shane and Ilya were slightly out of character? Shane is bitchier, Ilya is manic and philosophical, Cliff Marleau and the Boston boys take turns babysitting their crashing-out captain, and Shane finally gets recognized as the pretty, funny, sassy player he is.

    Please enjoy these silly boys and their silly relationships! Four works so far with more to come! How much more? I don't know, they keep doing silly things and my brain keeps writing it down.

    Nothing is too serious about this, it's a mix of show and book canon, and a healthy dose of fanon (himbo king Cliff). Ilya is allowed to catch feelings early, as a treat and Shane is allowed to let his inner mean girl out. <3

    Summary

    “You are planning to rob me or what?” He hears Rozanov call, and he can’t help but smile slightly even as he rolls his eyes, closing the door to the linen closet and feeling strangely lighter than when he opened it, reassured that he’s just trying to read into a blank page, that today doesn’t mean anything more than Rozanov doesn’t mind him being around, which is strangely flattering.

    “I don’t know,” he calls back. “Don’t Russians like diamonds and fur and stuff? Where should I start looking if I want to know what my options are?”

    He hears Rozanov laugh, and it makes him smile.

    When he joins him in the living room once more, Rozanov tugs him down to lean against him again. Shane goes easier this time, settling into it, knowing it doesn’t mean anything other than the fact that he just happens to be the closest warm body, the person on Rozanov’s roster who filled today’s slot.

    (the tuna meltdown doesn't happen) (this does not mean they get ANY better at communication)

    (or: how shane didn't realize he had a boyfriend for several months)
