   Summary

   Five years ago, Shane left his hometown in pursuit of his career. He left his parents, his friends, his life, and a husband, who woke up one morning to find him gone—all to start a new life for himself.

   Now, Shane has everything he could possibly want and more. His career as a musician has taken off: he’s rich, he’s famous, he’s surrounded by a group of some of the best friends he could’ve asked for, and he has a very perfect boyfriend.

   Everything in his life is going according to plan, until said perfect boyfriend proposes, and Shane is forced to acknowledge the fact that he is, legally, still married. Though not by choice of course, but rather because his “husband” has sent back every single set of divorce papers unopened, and unsigned.

   Or: The Sweet Home Alabama AU that no one asked for, starring Shane and Ilya.
