    Summary

    "You guys," Olivia says in the tone of a woman who knows she is smarter than everyone else in the room and trying to be patient about it, "are way too invested in your captain's sex life."
    "There is no such thing as being too invested in Rozy's sex life," Micky counters in a grave voice. "He
    pines."

    It's the summer of 2014 and the dust of #RozSpotted is settling. Which is objectively good. Because Ryan Carmichael has a plan and it does not involve staying out of Ilya's business.

    Or: How to trick your captain into locking down his long-term situationship—a guide for clueless beginners.

    Summary

    There’s still a big part of him that wants all the same things he used to. The hockey, those other interests, the simplicity of the smaller circle. But there’s a twinge of something else now beside it when he considers it for too long, a bruise he can’t place the origins of. He’d been able to put somewhat of a name to it, after Rose.

    He only wishes he hadn’t filled in the rest of the blanks staring down at a grainy photograph of Svetlana Vetrova in a convenience store parking lot in Boston, a bag hanging off of her manicured finger just transparent enough to make out the logo of a First Response as she’d ducked into a sleek, black sports car, driving away with Shane's best worst would-have-been and, presumably, Ilya Rozanov's baby.

    Shane feels no particular way about this turn of events. He really, honestly, mostly is somewhat close to believing that, too. It's progress.

    Summary

    And then her lover begins to act strange; she’s late to their meetings, she’s tired and withdrawn, her dark hair slightly greasier than she would ever normally tolerate.
    They’re spread out, and nothing to be concerned about on their own. The woman doesn’t even realise the events are connected until it’s too late. Her lover still tells her that she loves her, and when the woman does ask if she is alright, she tells her that she’s fine, and not to worry about it. The woman accepts the dismissal.
    And then suddenly she’s dead. And the sound of a creaking rope will haunt her for the rest of her days. Why hadn’t she trusted her?
    You can ask her yourself, Louis thinks to her as she shudders with the last breaths of the dying, stroking her back in an effort to comfort her as she goes.
    He feels an immense amount of pity for the dead woman. He can’t imagine not knowing something’s wrong with Lestat. He can’t imagine not being able to piece it all together.
    And Lestat promised no more lies. No more secrets.
    Surely he’d tell him if something was wrong.
    Wouldn’t he?

    Summary

    Summary

    Lestat disappears without a word.

    Seven months later, Louis drags him home.

    Rebuilding their relationship proves complicated when Lestat insists on being an unrepentant brat—flirting with strangers, stealing Louis's expensive chocolate, arguing about Mozart, and treating every boundary as a personal challenge.

    Then Louis starts noticing the things beneath the performance.

    The endless apologies. The permission asked for without thinking. The lights left burning. The nightmares. The smile that appears just a little too quickly.

    Some people hide their wounds behind silence.

    Lestat hides his behind smile.

    Summary

    “I found myself in deep conversation with my companion,” begins Armand. “About this ill-advised concert tomorrow night…”

    Lestat rolls his eyes. “You want to stop me. You can’t.”

    “Oh, I will.” Armand finally makes eye contact with Lestat, in his unnerving way, that makes it feel like he’s looking directly into your soul. 

    “And how will you do that?” He opens his arms, palms-up. “Tie me down, shove a stick of dynamite down my throat? Cut my head off, set me on fire, like you did with the Old ones in the catacombs?”

    “All good ideas, only it would be a shame to kill you,” says Armand. “I only need you out of commission long enough to miss the concert. A beheading would do it, I’m sure. You would survive, of course, long enough for re-assembly, but I cannot say the same for your child.”

    Louis looks from Lestat to Armand and Daniel, utterly confused. For once, it’s Lestat wearing the half-blank, half-apocalyptic expression.

    Summary

    Ever since Dawn tried to clean Buffy's hands with the wet towel, she felt an immense urge to just rip her skin off and resume what she had planned to do up in that tower.

     

    It wasn’t that long until she heard Dawn’s voice and someone else’s in the hallway. She was just supposed to get her bandages. 

     

    Spike?

     

    No, this is a joke, right? A bad one. Maybe she was right, and this was hell. But she had to make sure, right? So, she walked two steps behind Dawn to catch a glimpse of that blonde hair. Hair, which the last time she saw it, it was threaded between her fingers and on top of her in bed. Had that been real? Or was that part of the death too?

     

    The night she died, she had made two mistakes. One, thinking that jumping off and finding her Gift would bring her peace and rest. And two, sleeping with Spike for some semblance of comfort. 

     

    God, if there was one, was calling her bluff.

    Summary

    Lestat de Lioncourt had never imagined that he would live a peaceful life. He had never ever imagined that he would live a happy life.

    So the peace, the happiness, the love he felt in his life at the current moment was something that felt unnatural for him to have.

    //

    As Lestat and Louis anxiously await the birth of their third child. Ghosts from their pasts begin emerging in their lives. But is it for better or worse?

    Sequel to peace. I would definitely recommend reading that first as some things may be confusing otherwise.

    Summary

    “You asked Lestat?”

    Immediately, Madeleine's round eyes are swimming with justification. “Pourquoi non? You said yes! I suggested him and you said why not?!” 

    "Baby, be so serious. I love him but he is not responsible. Or even stable! And it can't be Lestat because–" Claudia swallows, bracing herself for impact. “I already told Louis he was going to be the Godfather.”

    Claudia and Madeleine have one option for their baby's Godparents: their two best friends who haven't spoken in years.

    Summary

    Finally, something dawns on him, a way to handle two goals simultaneously. He’d seen Hollander’s mother flipping through papers rapidly when they first got here, seeming calm and in control and more than a little frightening in a way that made Ilya mildly glad he wasn’t one of the people responsible for a clipboard. If anyone can tell him if the long list of “Prohibited Items” he’d been sent in his email a few days ago is just standard practice for big shoots, it would be Yuna Hollander.

    Or, hopefully, her son.

    “Crazy we cannot even have peanut butter, eh?” He asks. “You also got giant list?”

    Hollander stiffens, almost imperceptibly, and Ilya tilts his head, just slightly, confused, wondering if he’s stumbled somewhere unexpected.

    Summary

    Lestat has exactly two months before he's forced into an arranged marriage with a man he barely knows.

    Louis, an impossibly charming vampire who roams the forest behind the Lioncourt estate, offers him a bargain: let Louis court him until the wedding, experience the kind of love he's always dreamed of, and then they'll part ways.

    It sounds simple enough. Surely that's enough time to get love out of his system. It is, unfortunately, a terrible plan.

    Or, the gothic fairytale AU where a very sheltered, very human Lestat is trapped in an arranged marriage and is completely swept off his feet by The Vampire Louis.

    Summary

    The video opens with an air of domesticity and almost innocence to it that foreshadowed nothing of what would follow. A quick sweeping shot of a bedroom, lights low, before the camera settles on a man standing in front of a mirror. The atmosphere is intimate and cozy. Ilya Rozanov is just finishing pulling the jersey over his head, abs and a trail of hair disappearing under a sea of blue. He turns to look in the mirror. His black boxer briefs visible where the jersey ends. HOLLANDER spelled across the back with 24 in the center

    --------------------------------------------------------

    Well it's yet another Hollanov getting outted Pre-Tuna melt fic because this one is haunting my brain.
    How will the boys handle it when a stupid video they decided to make gets posted at the start of the 2016 season? Before they've ever had a chance to establish what they want with each other. What will the consequences be in a era before Scott Hunter kissing on the ice and Ilya's still the captain in Boston.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is bitten by Dallas Kent on the ice.

    He doesn’t quite hit the mating mark. Not entirely. But the action is enough to start a revolution of the hockey league, where outdated laws about alphas and omegas in sports are questioned by the public.

    Shane’s just trying to recover, having never wanted to be the centre of attention in a situation like this.

    And Ilya, in between supporting his partner and captaining the ship of the proposed “Equitable Treatment Act” to protect omegas in sports, is out for Dallas’ blood.

    Fic is exclusive AO3 but also shared on my Tumblr, both under the same name! Title is from the Halestorm song of the same name. Additional tags and trigger warnings to be included at the beginning of each chapter, when needed 🖤

    Summary

    Shane Hollander was acutely aware of the following: he is - against his better judgement - completely, madly and truly in love with Ilya Rozanov. (Emphasis on the ‘madly’)
    Shane Hollander was acutely UNAWARE of the following: fucking everything else apparently.
    And no, his doctor was not joking.
    Trust him. He asked.

     

    -- Or, Cliff Marleau actually did Shane a massive favor by scrambling his brain like a cracked egg. --

    “Is Boston even interested.”

    Ilya scoffs at him like Shane is an idiot.

    “Is sky blue? Is water wet? Is English stupid language? Yes, Hollander, of course we want best player in the league.” Ilya mutters more in disgruntled Russian and Shane gets up off the couch to Google Russian lessons on his ipad while continuing their conversation.

     

    Or, a Shane goes to Boston story.

    Summary

    In 2017, Shane and Ilya ended their not-relationship for good.

    All because Grigori Rozanov is alive and well, and Ilya Rozanov’s life is still held under this thumb.

    3 years later, unbeknownst to each other, they are both traded to Ottawa.
    Shane, involuntarily, is ousted from Montreal after his teammates discover his biggest secret.
    Ilya, voluntarily, chooses to tank his career and take a salary cut in the hopes it will free him from the burdens of his family’s dependence on him.

    Both are ready to start fresh. Both want their freedom. Both are wholly unprepared for the resurgence of the feelings they’ve kept buried once they see their names side by side in the Centaur’s locker room.
