    Summary

    “You’re Ilya Rozanov, right?” Dimirty walks up to Ilya and holds out his hand with a smile. “Captain, yes?”
    Ilya nods, “Yes.” Did… did Dimitry not recognize him? Was he so old he was becoming like Grigori? A little spark of hope shoots through him. He could do this, he could survive this again. Four months, and then he’d be gone for good. And besides, he’s older now. He’s not a kid, he’s not Dimirty’s type anymore.

    OR

    When LeClaire goes on paternity leave and the new guest coach is brought in, Ilya finds himself facing old traumas and gaining new ones. Ilya thought he’d been able to escape the man who assaulted him and leave his traumas behind for good. Instead, Ilya finds himself in the same predicament he did when he was just a kid in Russia. He thinks no one notices his suffering, but Cliff Marlow does, and so does Scott Hunter. Together, they do their best to protect Ilya from his old coach.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander has spent the better part of the last five years knocking out hit after hit for the Assassin's Guild and becoming one of the most lethal agents in the business. After a series of unprecedented, wildly successful cases across the country, his boss pulls him off the active case roster for eight months. He's been keeping tabs on the Boston Bratva for years and has finally deemed Shane ready to take out their leader, Morpheus.

    The only problem is that undercover agents have been able to turn up little to no information regarding Morpheus's identity. The only information the Guild has been able to dredge up is the name of one of their business fronts: a sophisticated private nightclub called Nyx, and the name of its director, bratva member Ilya Rozanov.

    or: Ilya is a low ranking member of the Russian mafia and Shane is the assassin hired to kill his boss.

    Summary

    Shane’s ears turned pink, and he looked mortified. There was a long pause before he finally whispered, “I want a pet.” He was looking somewhere over Ilya’s shoulder rather than meeting his eyes.

    Ilya took a long second to process what he was hearing, unsure if he had misheard the English. “A pet? Like dog? You want a dog?”

    "Not exactly."

    Summary

    “Go, please,” Ilya begs, his voice shaking like the words don’t want to be spoken.

    Like maybe he would ask Shane to stay, if he could. If he knew how.

    “No.”

    “Shane.”

    It slips out; he doesn’t mean to say it. Shane can tell from the way Ilya’s face contorts, almost like he’s trying to take it back - like he’s trying to un-say Shane’s name, un-learn the taste of it in his mouth. But it’s out there now, hovering in the space between them. Heavy, despite its fragility.

    Summary

    Ask Ilya Rozanov and he’d tell you that the only thing worse than being a broke PhD student was being a broke PhD student facing eviction from your Humans Only rent-controlled apartment because you maybe, accidentally got yourself Turned over summer break.

    Cue the Bloodbanker$ app and its allegedly discreet and lucrative arrangements: a whole swipeable nest of generous Vamp4Vamp ‘Donors’ waiting for the perfect fledgling to spoil.

    Seducing an old rich dude with this hot bod? Light work.

    ‘Shane, 30*, O+’ wouldn’t know what hit him.
