    Summary

    “Love isn’t just the thing that we’re all celebrating tonight, it’s the everyday stuff. And you two do that incredibly. Cat, Laila, you two have given each other something so beautiful, and it’s not just for each other. Everyone who has the honor of knowing you gets to see it. You make people able to believe in love and kindness and an everlasting bond. You’re soulmates, and that’s obvious to everyone around you.” Cat sniffs a little, getting more emotional than she thought, swiping at her eyes, trying to stop the tears before they come, clearly. Jean lingers a bit at the word “soulmates,” he’d like to think that he’s gotten a lot better with English since leaving the nest, but he can’t recall that he’s ever heard that word before.

    [...]

    “What is ‘soulmate?’” Jean asks quietly, but the whole table goes quiet at the question.

    [...]

    Him and Jeremy must be soulmates if Cat and Laila say that’s what it is. When he looks to Jeremy, Jeremy nods, approving of their definition, and Jean nods too, speaking up, “Me and you, then. Soulmates, yes?” Jean asks Jeremy, and Jeremy’s face turns a deep red. Jean feels a bit of anxiety swelling up at that. Does Jeremy not think the same?

    Summary

    Jean Moreau was no stranger to madness. He faced the insanity and follies of humanity and endured their violent consequences without succumbing to madness himself. Repeatedly, delusions of grandeur and psychotic complexes struck him like waves crashing against a rock, but Jean remained, though unstable, sane. He bent—sometimes beyond what he thought he could handle—but never broke, and considered himself immune to the siren song that compelled stupid people to do stupid shit for stupid reasons.
    So when Jean found himself going to a frat party for the simple and exclusive reason that Jeremy Knox would also be there, that right to brag vanished like a snowflake in the sun.
    How unbecoming.
    or;
    Jean goes to his first frat party and is mad jealous of Jeremy hooking up with strangers.

    Summary

    Shane’s good at his job.

    Really, he is.

    Five and a half years at Allocare and he’s learned to talk the talk and walk the walk. He’s good. His team lead tells him he’s going to make that promotion this year, actually - managing accounts is easy, and he’s got a rhythm now.

    Ilya Rozanov, on the other hand, isn’t easy. Shane’s pretty sure he’s come straight from hell itself if he’s honest - now there’s only one thing standing between Shane and the promotion he’s gunning for, and it’s his brand new, 6’3 Russian client with no regards for professional boundaries.

    He has a good mouth, though.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander has been Ilya Rozanov’s manager for nearly a decade. But when Shane suddenly announces his resignation, Ilya is forced to confront some truths about their relationship.

    Like the fact that he may have been secretly in love with Shane the entire time they’ve worked together.

    or: Shane is clinically oblivious, Ilya is about to commit HR violations worthy of Olympic gold, and everyone else kind of thought they were already hooking up (wait, they’re not hooking up?).

    Summary

    At the age of 22, Shane Hollander has never had sex. Not because he doesn't want to, but because he's strict about only sleeping with someone he's truly committed to. Except for the past few months he's regularly making out with Ilya Rozanov, his best friend of three years, and it drives Ilya so crazy that Shane lets him go jerk off in the bathroom after nothing more than just kissing. But as the weeks pass and the want between them grows, Shane starts to realize that the person he's been waiting for might have been there all along.
