Summary
If someone had told Ilya in June that 2017 would be the worst year of his life, he would never have believed them. How could it be, between All Stars and Shane and the cottage? Even his father’s death, as brutal as it had been in the moment, had brought more peace to leaving Russia behind than Ilya had anticipated.
No. All it takes is November—one measly, miserable month—for everything to fall apart.
All it takes is one night.

Summary
Tact and social mores are completely relegated to the back of Derek’s brain, and without thinking, he blurts out, “Did you spend your heat alone?”
Stiles’ head jerks around in surprise, and then he flushes pink and looks away. His voice comes out brusque and unfriendly. “Not that it’s any of your business, but I spend every heat alone.”

Summary
Shane is heavier than he used to be; his weight bears down on Ilya in a new way. He’s put on pounds of muscle since Ilya last touched him like this. Ilya flattens his palms, skims them under Shane’s undershirt, feels the flat solidity of his abs, the bulk of his lats, the swell of his chest. It’s the same and it’s new, this body; it’s the boy he couldn’t stop thinking about when he was 18 and the man he loved enough to let go at 26 and the person who somehow always comes to find him when he’s lost.
A stranger, and the love of his life.
—
or, Ilya's father doesn't die in 2017; Ilya breaks up with Shane instead of confessing his love. They get older, but not any less stupid about each other. Shane gets a boyfriend; Ilya gets on medication; they work on becoming whole people. And they always find their way back to each other.
OR a story for those who love Shane and Ilya's baby love but ALSO think it's hot when people in their thirties make active choices about who they are and what they want in their partner!!
Note: the "cheating" tag refers to the relationship between Shane and his aforementioned BF, not to Shane and Ilya cheating on each other.

Summary
From a Threads Prompt: "Is there an omegaverse tuna melt fic it fic where Shane actually CAN'T leave because Ilya's knot is still inside him?"
*****
“Hey!” Ilya almost howled when Shane tried to get off him, and he clamped his hands down at the Omega’s hips, snapping out a warning growl. “Stop. We are knotted. You have to stay here, stay on me, or you will hurt us both. Stop.”“Right. Fuck.” Shane dragged his hands through his hair, then down his face, “Sorry. I just– I gotta get out of here right away. Please."
“Well, we are stuck together.” Ilya forced his voice calm, “So maybe we should talk about this?
“No. No way. This is my actual fucking nightmare.” Shane whispered. “This is the fucking worst– I can’t–”
“That is rude.” The Alpha frowned. “I thought I did a good job knotting you.”
“Are you fucking kidding me right now?” the Omega hissed, "This isn't funny!"
"I mean" Ilya hesitated. "Is maybe a little--"
"ROZANOV!"
