A disastrous dinner with Hayden leaves Ilya insecure and hurt. It's Shane's job to pick up the pieces and remind Ilya who he is.
as if light were protective (e, 10k) (tumblr post)
warnings (more inside): canon compliant (tlg era). home invasion, cnc.
Shane is not aware of how far would Ilya go so he has everything he could even dream about. Shane just has to ask and Ilya would move the goddamned moon from his axis to get him happy. Even if that happiness involves him breaking and entering their home.
nothing but a one-man cult (e, 7k) (tumblr post)
warnings (more inside): canon compliant (situationship era). dom/sub, orgasm edging, ball-gags, dom drop.
By now and after all this time, he can only partially ascertain the nooks and crannies of Hollander's absurdly intricate mind. He likes routine and order; he doesn't like when they change the rules, especially if it comes unannounced, or from Ilya. Or both. He has no issues breaking his own, as long as it works for him. But he doesn't do that a lot, either. Only when Ilya gets him good, desperate, when he kisses him as if the fucking world would end if they don't, does Hollander forget about rules.

warnings (more inside): canon compliant (post tlg). lingerie ilya, dom bottom ilya, deconstruction of masculinity, internalized homophobia.
"I didn't jerk off to him. I didn't even get hard at him." Ilya scoffs. "You saw me. I didn't check his face, did I? It's easier when I can't see the face." Shane's thumb is still on his nipple and is joined by the index; Ilya's breath hitches. "What's easier?" Shane slides down from the sunbed. "Well. Imagining he's you, of course."
Ilya discovers his limits and decides they are not strong enough to stop him from giving Shane Hollander exactly what he wants. -- Or, the fic where Ilya service tops so hard he ends up bottoming.
