    Summary

    Rumored to be the country's most secure prison, 181 houses death row inmates, crime syndicate leaders, serial killers, and inmates deemed too dangerous for ordinary facilities. Four concrete cell blocks surround a central control tower, with 24-hour surveillance, armed patrols, and no recorded successful escape attempts.

    But what is Wu Suowei doing there?

    He’s just a scammer—fraud is such a basic, non-violent crime. And prostitution… Come on, a little bit of nudes can’t hurt. A boy’s gotta do his best to live. He isn't supposed to be locked up with monsters who break bones for fun.

    Now, he’s a fish being forced to swim in a shark-infested body of water, terrified and completely out of his depth. But in a place like 181, prisoners are always hungry for fresh meat, and Suowei happens to be a very pretty, very vulnerable target.

    He needs a saving grace to survive his unhinged new cellmate and the predators in the yard. And as it turns out, the prison's absolute kingpin—a powerful, ruthless druglord named Chi Cheng—might just have his eyes on him.

    Summary

    Stick to your guns, Ilya thinks. Sex. With Hollander. That’s simple. Straightforward.

    Except nothing about this night has been straightforward. The more time he spends with Hollander, the more he wants him - and not just the sex. He wants it all: the reading glasses, earnest ramblings, moral compulsions. The sweetness Hollander tries to hide. The way he holds back from almost everyone, even from himself, but never from Ilya.

    ***
    or: After Vegas, Ilya knows he should end it with Hollander. He likes trouble, yes. Doesn’t mean he likes feeling scraped raw by wanting impossible things. Then they are marooned together at an airport for a very long, very strange night during which Ilya begins to suspect – shakily, reluctantly – that they might be… something.

    NOW COMPLETE!

    Summary

    “You have no idea who your parents really are, do you?” the Russian asked after a few minutes passed of them staring at one another, though it was really more Shane glaring and heaving while Ilya observed him with an unsure glint in his eye.

    “I have no idea what I’m doing here and what you want with them. If this is some kind of stupid business dispute, I have bad news for you, asshole. I don't know about their business, I don’t even know what their business is, and I’ve never been involved in their business,” Shane seethed as slowly as he possibly could so Ilya could understand that he genuinely had no idea what was going on. “Now will you please untie me and take me home? I don’t even care if you knock me out again, just fucking let me go!”

    Ilya set the glass down to the side of him on the black leather cushion and rose from his seat, unfolding gracefully until he was towering over Shane with cool indifference. He bent slightly, then said easily, “I think I will keep you, actually.”

    A/N: While this mafia AU does take place in Russia, it is fiction and homophobia will NOT be a concept in this world.
