Dear beloved TITS readers,

PLEASE DON'T PANIC, I promise "teeth in the starlight" is COMING BACK!

I finally started working with some lovely individuals as betas for this story moving forward, and as a part of that process they are also helping me overhaul my tagging system for the fic as a whole and being my additional sets of eyes (and brains) on the first 11 chapters.

I know the timing is unfortunate and potentially scary with what's going on with the fandom right now, but you have nothing to worry about here!

Rest assured that TITS will be back up in the next few days, along with the new chapter once it has been beta'd as well.

In the meantime, feel free to reach out to me here or on threads (same username) anytime. I'm very active on both if you have any questions or just want to chat.

Love you all!

Quynn 💜

a selection of photos taken by other people from their first year of marriage:

towards the end of their wedding reception, sun setting, looking rumpled and tired, Ilya kissing Shane's palm while Shane is very seriously talking to Scott Hunter

the two of them with a fan, taken at the dog park, Ilya holding Anya and Shane with one arm around his husband's shoulder and the other trying to prevent Anya from licking the fan's face

Shane Hollander sitting on the Centaurs bench with blood on his face, mouth wide open, Ilya Rozanov gripping his chin and glaring at the gap where Shane's bottom canine used to be

Ilya Rozanov with his fist in the air after a goal, a smear of red in the corner of his mouth

sitting next to each other at team tape review, heads bent together, Ilya's hand on Shane's thigh, Shane's hands sketching out a play in the air

Ilya Rozanov leaning against his car in the airport arrivals line, a coffee in one hand and a forest-green smoothie in the other

Shane Hollander giving his husband the middle finger after losing the shot accuracy competition at ASG by half a second

piggyback racing across the yard with a Pike twin each clinging to their necks

Ilya Rozanov, outraged, with a face full of snow, as his husband doubles over with laughter

wearing identical blank expressions the seventeenth time a journalist asks about their "off-ice chemistry"

Shane Hollander throwing his head back and cackling in a booth at a random dive bar in a random city, Ilya Rozanov grinning into his drink

asleep on the team bus after game 5 of the conference finals, Ilya curled into Shane's shoulder

"The sex tells the story, so it never felt gratuitous to me. The sex is character development. The sex is what is moving this relationship forward, and watching it change over time."

I loved this interview, yayyy a gifset!!

I think this is something lost on the audience in the show that is explicitly implicit in the books.

Shane thinks Ilya is a sex god bc

1) he is "better at sex" than shane

2) shane up to this point hasn't had a successful and Very Good sexual experience. He literally says once Ilya dick is inside him that he "finally understands why people are sex- obsessed." It has clicked, and his brain says its because of ilya, not bc he is gay

3) ilya is a whore so that translates in shanes brain to very experienced, good at it, therefore sex god

They tease back and forth that ilya has ruined sex for shane bc no one else will do, and while shane is embarrassed by this, he agrees.

In TLG it comes out that ilya has maybe been with like 5-10 guys at most. Personally i think its the lower end of that. He specifically says that men are a "rare treat," implying that 1) its safer to pull women (he really is terrified of being outed and shipped back to russia), and 2) he only pulls men when he is missing shane so much he cant stand it.

Shane has canonically been with 3 men. Two pulls he didnt care for, and ilya. Again, in his mind, ilya is the key, but its not inherently bc of ilya's skill, its because of their crazy deep connection.

I LOVE that Jacob said this, because its not so explicit in the show. You get little tells (ilya's "wow" at Shane's desperation and automatic submission; his quick orgasms in ep1 - he is just as overwhelmed and turned on as shane is; his face the first time he fucks shane, especially when he goes in from behind) but in the end, ilya is so desperate to please shane and make it perfect that he just makes it happen out of sheer willpower. But the second he realizes shane is coming untouched under his he makes way too much noise, bites his lips to squash it (embarrased, wants to be more in control than that), and immediately comes. Its not inherent skill, its attention and the overwhelming desire to please, mixed with a little control freak energy and genuine exhilaration at Shane's automatic submission.

steve harrington is a really good fake crier. like scarily good. he learned as a kid that if he makes his eyes shine and lets one tear fall, adults panic and give him what he wants. he still uses it as a grown man to get out of trouble and to bully eddie into doing things for him.

eddie spends weeks thinking he made steve cry that one time he snapped at him and feels sick about it. then one day he watches steve turn the shiny eyes + single tear on some random authority figure to get out of trouble and realizes it’s a BIT. meanwhile steve’s over there like 🙂 and eddie is reevaluating his entire life and relationship choices.

eddie: “dude, I’m not mad, I just said you were being annoying.”

steve, eyes going glassy immediately: “no, it’s fine, I get it.”

eddie: “wait, hey, I didn’t— are you seriously crying?”

steve, one single tear: “just… give me a second.”

Eddie, guilt ridden, thinks about this for weeks.

Months later…

cop: “you were going fifteen over, son.”

steve, same exact shiny eyes + lone tear: “I’m so sorry, officer, it’s just been a really hard week—”

eddie watching from the passenger seat, connecting the dots in real time: “…”

cop: “I’ll let you off with a warning.”

eddie, as they drive away: you manipulative little theater kid, I cannot believe I FELL FOR THAT.

Later that night

eddie: “no. uh-uh. do it again.”

steve: “do what again?”

eddie: “the thing. the eyes. I watched you with your little Bambi routine, Harrington. You’re not slick.”

steve: “it’s not a routine, I’m just sensitive🥺”

eddie: “you turned them on like a faucet.”

steve, already dialing up the shine: “eddie, that really hurts my feelings—”

eddie: “SEE? THERE IT IS. YOU HEAR YOURSELF??” 😭

While I was at the sexual health clinic I saw a poster for a gonorrhea transmission study where the ask is that a person w throat gonorrhea and one without make out for 3 minutes under observation and they test to see if the one without contracted and then they treat everyone’s infections for free. And they get paid! Anyway if you’re looking for a fanfic situation that’s free you can use that one
