Summary
He’s in danger. The sirens are blaring out, deafening every other thought in his head, screaming at him to get away before it ruins him.
Ilia isn’t a girl, no matter how beautiful he is. No matter if his lips are soft and he tastes sweet, and the noises he makes when he’s being touched are high and breathy and so beautiful. Andrew is acutely aware of this. He can’t forget it, whether he wants to or not.
So they can’t work. Even if Ilia inexplicably liked him, they could never work. Because Ilia is a boy, and Andrew doesn’t do boys.
~~~
Andrew Torgashev is pretty sure he isn’t gay, but he’s also pretty sure that having Ilia by his side every day at Stars on Ice is challenging that narrative. A chronological look at the intersection of Andrew’s internalized homophobia and his affection for one particularly pretty blonde skater. -

Summary
Andrew swallows, reaching out to smooth Ilia’s hair down. “You don’t even know what you do to me, do you?”
Ilia purses his lips, trying to hide his smile as he nuzzles his cheek against Andrew’s tented crotch. “I have an idea.”
~~
Ilia loses his virginity in Irvine. Everything goes wrong, and then it goes so, so right. -

Summary
Ilia runs his thumb delicately over Andrew’s rough knuckles. “You sound like you’re about to propose.”
Andrew barks out a laugh. He thinks he would, if he had a ring handy. He can’t see any reason not to — other than the ever looming threat of Ilia deciding he’s done playing around with him and tossing him aside. Sure, it’s only been two months, but he knows true love when he feels it. He knows he’ll never be with someone who isn’t Ilia. He’s ruined for the rest of humanity.
“Wait. I wasn’t— that wasn’t a proposal.”
~~~
Ilia thinks Andrew is proposing. Andrew just thinks he's doing some sweet pillowtalk. -

Summary
Andrew wonders, momentarily, if he’s dead. If he had some sort of insane fall on the ice at the start of the tour and snapped his neck on impact. If everything he’s experienced since then is a vivid hallucination, some heaven he managed to reach by praying just often enough and acting the filial son.
Because there’s no way this is real.
There’s no way that in his life, his real life, Ilia Malinin, of his own volition, climbed into his lap in the early hours of the morning, eyes wide and lips parted. There’s no way Ilia Malinin, four time world champion, would be begging for him in soft tones, grabbing at Andrew like he’ll die if there’s even an inch between them. -

Summary
Andrew squeezes his shoulder again. “Can you stand?”
Ilia’s face twists, breathing jagged. “I don’t know,” he admits honestly. “Don’t let go of me.”
“I wasn’t going to,” he reassures him, hand caressing along the cheap mesh fabric. “I’ve got you. I’m here.”
Ilia grabs on tighter, terrified to fall. “Don’t go to Florida. Come home with me.”
~~~
The Final Night of Stars on Ice is always a sad time -- but Ilia isn't sure he can survive without Andrew by his side. 800 miles is a hell of a lot for a boy in love.

Summary
Anders has a choice when he accidentally stumbles across the words Danarius used to make Fenris orgasm on command; either use the elf or help win his freedom.
Fenris never expected the mage to assist him. He never expected that they would have anything in common. And he certainly didn't expect to fall in love.
With Kirkwall on the brink of ruin and Danarius prowling in the shadows, Anders must free Fenris before everything comes tumbling down around them.

Summary
“This is Wooyoung, he’s my best friend.” San turns to Wooyoung, leaning in far closer than he would while sober and grabbing Wooyoung by the shoulders. They’re basically the same height so it’s oddly jarring to suddenly be so close, noses almost touching. “You know that, right?” San says seriously.
“Uh, yeah,” Wooyoung says. His tongue feels heavy, the words not quite slurred but not quite clear. The world has gone fuzzy around the edges, San’s face is the only thing in focus.
“My best friend. I love you so much, dude. Seriously. I love you, man. I love you.”

Summary
Over the centuries, there developed in the Circle of Magi a tradition of showing affection, regard and intent through the giving of small, practical trinkets. It became a way to dodge any suspicion from the Circle authorities--who could object to the gift of some paper, or a single coin?
In which Fenris is a practical elf, and accidentally tells Anders through tokens that he likes him VERY MUCH. But (at first) Fenris has no idea, and Anders is daily more baffled and suspicious. As seen on Tumblr, and now with lovely art by AO3 user Prudabaga.

Summary
Sky lives by one rule: Alphas are assholes. It’s that simple. And Sky isn’t ever going to be the demure, subservient omega he’s expected to be… never again. That worldview is turned upside down when Prapai steps into the picture – or more accurately, saves Sky’s ass. He’s everything Sky expects – pushy, cocky, arrogant – and everything he doesn’t – genuine, forthright, kind. Sky doesn’t know what to make of him and can’t seem to escape him. And then there’s that small matter of biology…
Alpha Pai/ Omega Sky
