    Summary


    Were they actually fighting about Ted fucking Lasso? Shane buried his face in his hands and let out a long groan. Maybe he should’ve picked something else to watch, but it was right there, and it said continue watching, and it was so easy that how could he not? Plus, he’d been dying to know who was going to win the final match, because it turned out soccer was way more fun to watch when it was fictional.

    OR: Ilya and Shane discover that marriage comes with its fair share of arguments and most of them are silly. One of them isn't. (5+1 fic)

    Summary

    "On the ice, he acted quick. Found the puck fast, moved to the net faster. Years of experience had honed his reflexes into second nature. But here, off the ice, wearing ROZANOV on his back like some doe-eyed puck bunny in the stands, his brain short-circuited completely."

    Or: Shane accidentally wears Ilya’s shirt into the locker room.

    Summary

    Lily:
    I want to see you tonight.

    Oh, that was safe. A classic really. Ilya went to type something deeply horny as a followup to get Shane riled up before he got to the hotel room, but he blinked and saw he had already sent a second text.

    Lily:
    I want to hold you close, and find out if you have any new freckles. I need to know, so next time I picture you, I do it right.

    Ilya throws his phone across the room. It hits the wall, where it falls to the floor and lays face-up, screen dark. Oh, this was bad.

    Summary

    Careful as he can, Shane trails his other hand down the slope of Ilya’s back. Light, light fingertips—tracing every knob of his spine. Shane traces a constellation of his own making, marking the ridges and planes of Ilya’s back—a kingdom, sprawling, all for him. 

    A quiet thrill of possessiveness races through Shane, curling his toes. It’s a heady feeling—this, and Ilya’s skin against his and the synchronised beating of their hearts—it’s all a little much. 

    or, their first morning at the cottage, after i love you.

    Summary

    Based on a tumblr post from @notahungrywish, ending with:

    Just Shane casually assuming he'll always have to share and never be enough for Ilya and Ilya horrified to realize just how resigned Shane is to assuming Ilya will never be satisfied with him the way Shane is with Ilya.
