Summary
“Game is over,” he says. “You won. I lost. I was annoying. Normal.”
“That’s not—” Shane starts, then stops, because he actually doesn't know how to finish that thought without sounding like an idiot. His jaw works, teeth grinding together.
That's not what I meant. That's not the point. You said I was boring and you were right and I need you to say it again so I know where I stand, so I know what you think of me, so I can stop waiting for the other shoe to drop.
He settles for: “You were kind of an asshole.”

Summary
Every Boston Raider knows that although their captain has a girl in every port, he’s got a soft spot for the one in Montreal. Dr. Shane Hollander knows it’s better to have a semi-regular source of casual sex than try to make a relationship work during residency. Ilya Rozanov knows that the doctor he’s fucking in Montreal is unaware that he plays hockey, and in fact probably thinks he’s Bratva.

Summary
Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”
“Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.
“No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”
“Go fuck yourself.”
+++
Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.
And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?

Summary
“Grantaire isn’t flaw-free, but he is a good person,” Eponine tells Enjolras, face hard and serious. “He’s not someone you spend time with when you're free. He’s not someone you keep around to clean your house and make you meals and warm your bed. If you want him, you have to earn him.”
(Or, the one where Enjolras is a bad boyfriend.)

Summary
Alex grins up at him, stretching his arms above his head and making Henry wish he could sink back down and cuddle until they fall asleep. “You’re welcome, baby. We still on for next week?”
“Same time, same place,” Henry agrees.
“Sweet,” Alex says. He sits up, abdominals clenching with the easy movement, and Henry watches unashamedly while he gathers his clothes from the reading chair in the corner of Henry’s bedroom. “I aim to astonish. Take care of yourself until I can come and take care of you myself, okay?”
Henry can’t help but smile. “Thank you, Alex.”

Or, there was always a time limit on how long Henry gets to have Alex. He decides to enjoy it while it lasts.
