    Yuuji's grandfather owned a bakery and coffee shop.

    This changes everything and nothing at all.

     

    (or: in which yuuji was born two years earlier, owns a bakery and coffee shop, and he manages to roll with the punches a bit better, or really, he adapts to what he's dealt with)

    Summary

    Strands of dark hair fell over the smooth skin of his forehead. A lazy constellation of freckles dotted his cheeks from the line of his nose to nearly his temple. Dark brown eyes glared up at him, the heat of them weaker than it could have been for the man’s circumstances. Fear lived in his gaze more than ferocity.

    Ilya didn’t think it suited him, that fear.

    Ilya is the second son of an aristocratic family, languishing in his own boredom. Shane is a horse-archer captured by guards during a skirmish, brought to Muscovy by force. When told to pick a prize for himself, Ilya chooses Shane -- and everything that comes afterwards.

    Summary

    "We have time for one more question."

    Shane Hollander has been a public figure his entire adult life. He has grown accustomed to hearing some wild takes on his personal life. Oftentimes, he can separate the public's need for unending news cycle from reality. It's usually all pretty innocent and focused on hockey; how a scratch in his throat during an interview may impact fantasy leagues or what the jacket he wore after the game says about his marketability for the upcoming season. While his personal life was practically a spectator sport for a brief period, the interest had certainly settled in recent years.

    "Shane, will you be commenting on the article published by TMZ this morning that you and your husband will be filing for divorce at the end of the season?"
    --
    or; After an article falsely states that Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are headed for divorce, they decide to be a little more visible to the public by attending Rose Landry's latest movie premiere.

    Summary

    “Alright, the shirt is going to have to come off,” Shane says, sliding back. “I can cut it off you or you can take it off yourself.” 

    After a lengthy pause in which Shane is unprofessionally lost in those glittering eyes, the firefighter grabs the hem of his shirt and begins to lift. He stops almost instantly with his elbows crossed over his face and his chiseled abdomen right there for Shane to gawp at, holy shit

    The pained noise the man makes jars Shane back into motion. “Right, okay. My turn,” he mumbles, smoothing the fireman’s hands back onto his lap.
