  1. Summary

    In a world of magical gifts, Joshua cannot use his magic freely in Korea under the eye of a conservative culture. Being caught doing so? It invites disaster… When the worst happens, Joshua faces a frighteningly quiet new world. In the midst of Seventeen's debut, Joshua must adapt quickly – but he’s not alone and can count on some treasured friends on this new journey.

     

    With each passing moment Joshua can feel the easing in Seokmin’s energy, the illness slowly relenting. The sharp fraying feeling that had reached up Seokmin’s throat gentles under Joshua’s will. A smile breaks across Joshua's face, his hands pulsing with the gentle warmth of the healing magic. Seokmin won’t be up tomorrow, or the next day – but. But he might be up the day –

    “What - are you doing.”

    Summary

    Shane watched Ilya tilt his head back and drop some peanuts into his mouth. He gave them all of two chews before swallowing. The totally indigestible peanuts travelled down the line of his beautiful speckled throat. The man was begging for chronic reflux.

    Summary

    Shane’s brain cycled rapidly through a half-dozen celebrities, porn actors, Grindr profiles, every attractive bartender who’d ever served him a beer, trying to find a comparison for this level of outrageously concentrated beauty in one person, but he was drawing a blank.

    The man—Ilya Rozanov, Facilities Attendant, his badge read—gestured around the supply closet. “I help you find something?”

    --
    Canon-divergent AU set during the 2017-18 MLH season. Shane Hollander doesn’t have a single Cup to his name when he meets a very hot and very annoying janitor who works at the Metros stadium.

    Summary

    There were exits in life.

    The knowledge had settled into him then, and it had settled into him permanently. Most children discovered love, or fear, or religion, and held onto it for the rest of their lives, letting it shape all their choices. But standing there, Ilya had discovered contingency. He’d decided that if things became unbearable for long enough, there was always a way out.

    Now, there was the option to stay, and keep going. And there was the option to go back to Russia, and keep going. But then, there was also the third option. Always there, waiting for him if he ever decided to take it.

    Summary

    Sveta
    Help me
    I am in love with a virgin

    Ilya was exaggerating for comic effect, of course. He wasn’t in love with Shane Hollander. He was just absolutely infatuated with him and wanted to carry him around in his pocket and also fuck him senseless and then count his freckles while he slept beside him. So not love, just whatever that was, but still. It was a problem.

    Or,
    A newly-drafted Ilya Rozanov finds himself transfixed by a beautiful man in the grocery store.

    A newly-single Shane Hollander does something uncharacteristically brave.

    Neither of them are prepared for just how out of their depth they're about to be.
