    Summary

    Rather than give him the joint, Ilya takes it back between his own lips and sucks in a deep breath, the tip glowing as he does so. Then, before Shane can process it, he’s reaching up and sliding one large hand around the back of Shane’s neck, pulling him down so their lips meet.

    Shane gasps softly, and Ilya takes the opportunity to blow smoke into his open and waiting mouth.

    Oh, God. Are you there? It’s me, Shane Hollander. We’ve had our differences, but I think I’d like to convert for real this time. I’m ready. Open the pearly white gates. I’m coming up.

    Shane goes to a house party, gets high, then gets on his knees. bon appetite

    Summary

    A brush of the arm, a touch of the hand.

    Galinda likes to be close to people, Elphaba has noticed.

    --

    After a lifetime of neglect and ostracization, Elphaba is not what you would call 'good at being close to people.' When Galinda notices her new best friend flinches from every touch, she proposes an experiment: exposure therapy, a way to start small and help Elphaba grow more comfortable with herself and others, one touch at a time.

    But what started as an exercise in psychology might just prove to be the basis of something more.

    Summary

    Shane has built the perfect life—the kind a retired hockey star is supposed to want. A sprawling home in Los Angeles, a glamorous actress wife, and a carefully constructed lavender marriage that works beautifully for both of them. He and Rose are soulmates in every way that matters—platonically, of course. With his career behind him and his old injury flaring up more often than not, Shane should be more than content to settle into his poolside retirement.

    Then his pool gets infested with biting waterbugs. With no other option, Rose hires a pool boy to deal with the problem. A pool boy Shane becomes, inevitably, obsessed with.

     

    [ OR... Shane and Rose are in a lavender marriage, and stupidly rich. Rose calls a pool boy to help with their waterbug infestation. That pool boy happens to be Ilya Rozanov. ]

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov's life was busy, boring, and most of the time exhausting. He had too much to do, and usually not quite enough hours in the day to get it all done.

    So when he starts visiting a new coffee shop and sees the cute barista—strong, handsome, genuine, and freckled—he notices. Without even planning for it, his routine changes when he can’t help but be fascinated by Shane’s long work hours, strict routines, and reckless disregard for his own safety.

    Shane Hollander makes him Americanos. He blushes and stutters and stammers his way through their interactions. He’s wound so tightly that Ilya can’t help but want to unravel him.

    There are no rules for this.
