Summary
There had been an accident.
Ed and Stede were painting the bedroom again, this time Stede was sure the color they chose was the right one, the one that would tie it all together for sure. And Ed had been good-naturedly ribbing him, as they did, about maybe the lavender being too bright. They had been laughing and Ed had had a point to make, a point he of course had to make by gesturing emphatically with his brush, the brush he had recently dipped in the bucket. And, of course, paint flew everywhere.
“Oh, shit,” Ed had said absently, trying to assess the immediate damage to the floor and their furniture. “Sorry, love, this is a bit of a mess, hope you like some lavender on the bed, oops.” And he laughed, back still turned to Stede. This kind of thing tended to happen when they renovated together, really.
And he didn't notice. He didn't notice that paint had splattered all over Stede's face and shirt. Until he turned and Stede was just standing there covered, not saying anything.

A tiny little accident and the release of some big emotions. Such is life.

Summary
The first chords to Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance make the club’s floor shake as an anticipatory chill runs across the crowd dutifully pulling out their money from wherever it is stored. Everyone is staring at the stage with the reverence shown to a deity. It's a bit disturbing.
The stage gets covered in smoke way too quickly, which only seems to rile everyone up further. Steve thinks about going to the back, but that’s when a silhouette emerges and the lights come on illuminating Cherry Bomb in all her glory. She's standing at center stage, muscular thighs shining under the lights, electrifying eyes piercing right through Steve’s very soul.
Steve gets it. He gets it immediately.
This is a goddess.

Summary
“Do you know why I fell in love with you?” he asks a while later, turning Steve’s attention away from Bob Seger’s voice floating out of the closed front door.
Steve feels his eyebrows reaching his hairline because getting Billy Hargrove to be this open about anything ever, willingly, takes weeks’ worth of work and deflection. Billy likes to keep what's his very close to home. So it can’t be taken away from him, Steve likes to think, when he’s not feeling frustrated about it. If Billy wants him to know this now, he must have his reasons, even when he’s already said so much more than most nights.
“Are you implying it was something other than my dashing looks, silky hair, and amazing ass?” Steve says around a smile, giving Billy an out if he feels like taking it.

Billy is drunk and in love, Steve is very patient, everyone has deep feelings coming out of nowhere. That's marriage, babey!

Summary
Steve can’t make the world feel safe again. Not for himself and not for Billy. But he can bring the sunshine in and hope it reminds Billy that there are still things for him out there. That there will always be a place for him beside Steve, but also in the world where there’s heat, music and laughter. And that it’s all his for the taking. Just waiting for him to rediscover the mundane glories of being alive. How there’s still joy to be felt, how Steve still wants to share it all with him.

Summary
"Who the fuck are you?" Billy snarls but nonetheless slows down his breathing. "And it's Billy, don't fucking call me that."
Whoever it is only chuckles, which does the job of irritating Billy further. He might not be sure if he has a body, but he very much fucking knows he hates being condescended to. This guy can choke.
"Well, Billy," says the guy, and now that Billy's vision is coming back, he can identify a veritable mane of brown hair and even bigger brown eyes. "Is that any way to talk to your husband?"

Billy's appendix burst and Steve's his nurse, nonsense ensues.

I Love you.
The words are new, like they had just been born; soft-skulled with a voice for crying. It’s hard to know what to do with something so new, but Ilya cares for their confessions like they are needy yet precocious infants. I love you. Ya Tebya Llyublyu. Ilya is proud of the words, like a parent is proud of their children. Ilya’s is already speaking full sentences in Russian.

Summary
The year is 2026, and Shane Hollander thought being a gay professional hockey player married to his former rival had prepared him for anything a social media mob could throw at him. He had faced the wrath of homophobes, Montreal fans and Rose Landry stans. Until, during the Winter Olympics, he accidentally offends the one corner of the internet you're not supposed to mess with.

Summary
“I shouldn’t have told you this.”
Ilya held Shane’s jaw like he did that first night and kissed him softly. “Yes, you should have, because I love learning new things about you, Hollander.”
“That’s nice. Almost worth the embarrassment of telling you I tied a whole-ass tie for a quick hookup,” Shane said, opening his eyes.
“Ah,” Ilya said, seeming to remember something, and opened a mischievous smile. “But I bet that was not the most embarrassed one of us felt that night.”
“I highly doubt that.”
“I bet I win,” Ilya sang a little.
“This is not a competition,” Shane said. “Or if it is, it’s the weirdest one we’ve ever had.”Or: Five times Shane and Ilya share embarrassing early-relationship lore because the other needs to hear it, plus one time they inadvertently share it with the internet.

Deep Misunderstanding by some1_around

Summary
“Am I a bad friend?”
Hayden has always been the guy Shane joked with, the guy he trusted to feed him without mocking him, the guy he roomed with on the road, and Shane is the only man who has ever seen Hayden cry, and Hayden loves Shane. He fucking loves him. They are like brothers, and they have been for almost ten fucking years. He’s always been Shane’s guy, Shane’s best friend.
Except all along, maybe that wasn’t true. Ilya Rozanov, apparently, had been the guy. Before Hayden had ever met Shane, Ilya Rozanov had been there. And Hayden had never even noticed.
Shane is all over every inch of Hayden’s life. Hayden thought that was reciprocal.
