    Summary

    “I turned the other cheek every fucking time. I still got tossed on my ass the second I went too far over the line, and threatened by the commissioner, and told to kill myself on just about every social media platform because my nightmare that I’d get outed came true. And you, after everything you did, got to come out to a supportive team and fans, get a slap on the wrist, and have your happy fucking ending.”

    Summary

    “You are planning to rob me or what?” He hears Rozanov call, and he can’t help but smile slightly even as he rolls his eyes, closing the door to the linen closet and feeling strangely lighter than when he opened it, reassured that he’s just trying to read into a blank page, that today doesn’t mean anything more than Rozanov doesn’t mind him being around, which is strangely flattering.

    “I don’t know,” he calls back. “Don’t Russians like diamonds and fur and stuff? Where should I start looking if I want to know what my options are?”

    He hears Rozanov laugh, and it makes him smile.

    When he joins him in the living room once more, Rozanov tugs him down to lean against him again. Shane goes easier this time, settling into it, knowing it doesn’t mean anything other than the fact that he just happens to be the closest warm body, the person on Rozanov’s roster who filled today’s slot.

    (the tuna meltdown doesn't happen) (this does not mean they get ANY better at communication)

    (or: how shane didn't realize he had a boyfriend for several months)

    Summary

    Shane twists in Ilya’s arms to glare at him. “You shouldn’t be here if you have a wife,” he hisses.

    «Who the hell are we - you - married to?» Rozanov barks.

    Ilya’s attention on Shane doesn’t waver as he responds, first to Rozanov: «Our wife is the prettiest - constellations of freckles that spread in the summertime and big brown eyes like a baby deer’s even when they’re full of murder. Maybe especially then.» He bestows a kiss upon the furrow between Shane’s brows and thumbs the leaking tip of his cock. “Mm, maybe you’re right. My wife is very much the jealous type.”

    Or:

    After Shane doesn't get kissed in Vegas, a thirty-something Ilya Rozanov wearing a wedding ring engraved with Shane's number shows up to kiss him breathless in the elevator and give his younger self a lesson in how Shane deserves to be spoiled.

    (or or: Ilya uses a harmless bit of sexy dream magic to right an old wrong and show his husband a good time.)

    Summary

    Shane has a lot of responsibility on his back.

    He has a duty to this land and its people, a promise he made to his mother when she moved on from her role and passed it into his care.

    “You are the best witch I’ve ever seen, Shane. You protect these people from the dangers that lurk beyond. There are monsters out there, scarier than any human, and it's your duty to keep them out.”

    So Shane has a routine. A routine that involves magic and spellbooks and potions all lined up within certain parts of his day to ensure his home and the towns around it are free from the dangers of the supernatural.

    But Shane’s strict, unwavering system is disrupted when he finds a large blonde wolf left for dead deep within his woods. Wolves are rare, he hasn’t seen a wolf in years.

    However this break in his schedule has also brought on something even more rare than a blonde wolf, something Shane hasn’t seen within his own lifetime, something his mother warned him about.

    His runes are breaking, and someone - or something - is doing it. They are after him.

    And somehow this wolf is the key to everything.
