    Summary

    “Shane, this is Ilya Rozanov.”

    For a world-ending moment, it felt like the ground was falling out from beneath him. The hand he’d been extending to greet the new bodyguard froze in midair, a stab of panic jolting through his entire body.

    Because it was the man from the night before. The man he’d slept with.

    (Shane Hollander is the son of the Canadian prime minister. He is also the captain of his college hockey team. This obscene balancing act is seemingly going just fine, until he accidentally hooks up with his new bodyguard one night at the bar.)

    Summary

    “How many times do I have to tell you I don’t fuck humans?” Shane asked.

    “Until I listen, probably,” Ilya answered.

    “Is that going to be many more, or…?”

    Shane trailed off and Ilya didn’t answer right away, just let his eyes slide slowly up the other man and enjoyed the view. When he was finished, Shane was watching, waiting, narrowed eyes black in the darkness.

    “Is probably going to be a whole lot of times,” he finally said. “Do you want to start now, or are you going to come flirt with me again tomorrow?”

    The one where Shane is a vampire, Ilya's a bartender, it's wintertime in New York City, and someone's on a murder spree.

    Summary

    He wondered absently whether Connor had found someone he liked, if they had slipped him their number, maybe kissed him too. The voices from the party came back, mixing with random comments until his muffled brain couldn't differentiate them anymore. His hands ached, he just wanted to hold, have something solid, the reassurance that Connor wouldn't leave. Please come here, please hold me, please don't leave. But did he deserve it? Was he even good enough? 

    “D'you think I'm pretty?” And he didn’t really know what he was saying, hadn’t even known the words would come out of his mouth, but suddenly he needed to know. What did all those other people matter when he had Connor right here? If Connor thought he was good enough then surely he didn't need more than that, right? Right.

    “What?”

    Sequel to 'liminal space' - please read the previous fic in this series first!

    Or:

    Hudson loves Connor, this he was sure of. But somewhere along the way the lines begin to blur and he wonders when loving Connor became falling in love with Connor - and was it meant to hurt this much? (aka Connor gets a boyfriend and Hudson is so totally fine with that)

He wonders if they could be part of the same fantasy." A series of short vignettes tracing Daniel and Betty's slow transformation from friends to the edge of something so much more.
