    Summary

    Shrugging one shoulder far more casually than he possibly feels, Ilya says, “I like both. Is secret, okay?”

    “Okay,” Hollander says, voice cracking.

    He doesn’t say anything else. The air’s so heavy around them that it feels like being in the middle of a scrum, the weight and heat of all those bodies pressing down on you. Danger always feels like hockey; it’s the most dangerous thing Ilya knows, except for this. Everything dangerous in his life involves men’s bodies and just how close he can get to them. Closer than he probably should.

    A year after mysteriously dropping out of the 2009 draft, Shane Hollander is signed by the Boston Raiders, right behind Ilya Rozanov. Having the two biggest stars in the league on the same line is great for Boston — but playing alongside their worst rival was never exactly in Shane or Ilya's plans. Especially not when staying away from each other starts to feel just as impossible as getting along.

    Summary

    Sometimes life came at you with a clenched fist and Ilya had never figured out how to duck.

    So here he was, twenty-eight years old, single, dealing with the fallout from injuries given to him by the game he loved, and the second youngest assistant coach in the league to one of the worst teams. Stability was hard to come by, but he was managing.

    Then along came Shane Hollander to knock him on his ass, one more time.

    Summary

    “If you don’t come here, I will come to you.”

    “Rozanov.”

    “I will drive,” Ilya tells him without sympathy. “Park illegally in my big muscle car. Everyone will notice. Lots of photos, probably.”

    Shane rubs his forehead. He gets to his feet and glances at his bag, still packed, on the hotel dresser.

    “I hate your car,” he says, at last.

    “Yes, I know,” Ilya says. It sounds like he’s smiling.

    Summary

    “No,” he says, smiling gently, like he doesn't know how irritating he's being. “Is my room first, da? You should speak with front desk.”

    Hollander stares at him.

    And then he starts to laugh.

    You ask the front desk,” he shoots back, in between his odd wheezes. Ilya's heart starts to pound in double time, because this is not—this cannot be Shane Hollander playing bed chicken with him. Their competitiveness is fierce, to be certain, but surely, Hollander would be the bigger person, no? “This is my fucking room, Rozanov. Wild horses couldn't drag me away.”

    OR: Ilya's apartment is under construction. Shane's in town for a game. It'd be a shame if they somehow had the same hotel room.

    [or, or: we need some more goddamn 'there was only one bed' out here.]

    Summary

    It’s not going viral because Jane’s true identity was exposed—or even because Ilya was blatantly sexting in public. That part’s as expected as Shane doing yoga or any human being on earth breathing.

    No, the texts are going viral because no one can believe how bad this “Jane” is at sexting.

    The women of the world are outraged. The men of the world are baffled. No one can understand why Ilya Rozanov, whose abs have their own fan club, is wasting his time on ‘a piece of cardboard that wished to be turned into a real girl’ (this particular joke has 300k likes and counting).

    Or: After a social media trend mocks Shane's sexting skills, he tries to improve them. It goes about as poorly as you'd expect.

    "Uh," says Clint. "So, you said you don't want to be involved with incubus stuff and I've been trying super hard to respect that, I swear it was an accident. I didn't realize you were having a moment there."

    "What?" Bucky puts down his e-reader. "Isn't the incubus stuff about having sex?"

    "It's physical contact plus arousal," Clint explains. "Sorry, I keep thinking Steve has gone over this with you. Giving someone an orgasm is the best way for me to get a good solid hit, but I can charge up more slowly just by touching people when they're turned on. So yeah, really sorry about that, I'll try not to let it happen again. I should leave you to, um... whatever you're doing." He backs away toward the elevator.

    Bucky swallows and says, "Wait."

    “We are looking for someone to whip me,” Nicky told him calmly. “You have experience in this, ah, scene, yes?”

    “Yeah,” Parker said, trying to sound casual. “But—and I mean, don’t take this the wrong way, but do you?” 

    Joe was still grinning, though his eyebrows crept up. For the first time, Parker saw an expression flit across Nicky’s face—a smile, or the beginnings of one.

    “Yes,” he said simply. 

    “Okay. And—Joe, you, you want to watch?”

    “Joe will tell you when I have had enough,” Nicky said.

    Summary

    Nicky and Joe don’t do this often, but it’s hardly the first time, either. What they are to each other is so unshakable that the invitation of another man into their bed is a rare spice, something different to change their routine, like the one time in a thousand that Nicky chooses hazelnut gelato over pistachio.

    Over the past few years, he’s started sleeping as little as he possibly can without dying — his under-eyes are permanently bruised and he spends daytimes hallucinating. It’s better than dwelling on what has come before: screams, limp bodies, spraying blood, blue eyes.
