Denial by there_must_be_a_lock

Summary
When he releases his grip on Shane’s chin, drags his knuckles along Shane’s jaw, Shane follows the touch, chasing Ilya’s fingers with his mouth.
Fuck. He is so fucking transparent. So clearly fucking vulnerable. A careless move could break him, and Ilya is not the sort of person who can be trusted with fragile things. People don’t trust him with much at all.
[Or: five times Shane doesn't use a safeword, and one time Ilya does.]

Summary
Odds are good someone will want to put Bucky in a box of his own again, before this is all over. Might be a prison cell, if the government has its way. Might be another cryo tank. Might be a cage built for a larger-than-average lab rat.
They’re welcome to try. He’s not going back.
[Or: the one where Bucky and Jason chase down Hydra, learn how to be in love, and eventually find their way home.]

Summary
Ilya’s expression goes so open and earnest that it’s hard to look at him, and he says softly, “Even if you were worst dancer in the world, I would want to dance with you. Because you are you, and we get to dance now.”
“Oh,” Shane blurts out, eyes hot.
“But if you are worried, I can dance bad too!” Ilya takes a step back and does a weird funky-chicken-meets-running-man move, utterly unselfconscious, while Shane buries his face in his hands and groans. Then he steps close again, curling his hands around Shane’s hips, with a wheedling smile and fluttering lashes. “We make perfect pair, yes?”
“Jesus, you’re such a fucking asshole,” Shane says, impossibly fond. “Yeah, okay.”
[Or: the Hollander-Rozanovs do Ibiza, Ilya fails at incognito mode, and Shane gets a dance lesson.]

Summary
They do not talk about what they’re doing. To acknowledge the ground beneath their feet would be to crash and burn immediately, or so Ilya assumed. Like stupid coyote cartoon running off a cliff; it’s fine, until he looks down.
But tonight Shane sits on the edge of his bed and sets his jaw and asks, “It’s not just me, right?”
Shane, apparently, just noticed gravity.
[Or: a missing scene from Episode 5, in which Ilya is Totally Fine, obviously, and they have sex about it.]

Countless times people made assumptions about Shane and Ilya's sex life + a few times they learned the truth.

Summary
Missing scenes from the show, as told through Ilya's relationship with vulnerability and tenderness and caretaking and control.
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too clever, I only let him out
at night sometimes
when everybody's asleep.
I say, I know that you're there,
so don't be
sad.
then I put him back,
but he's singing a little
in there, I haven't quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact
and it's nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I don't
weep, do
you?- "Bluebird," by Charles Bukowski

Summary
“If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future or anything else, what would you want to know?” Quickly, Ilya adds, “Don’t say that you want to know if you win the Cup.”“Why not? What if that’s my answer?”
“Is so boring, Hollander. Of course you want to know this. But Ilya Rozanov and Boston Raiders exist in this world, so crystal ball says, so sad, but no.”
“Fuck off. What are these questions even for, anyway? Are you interviewing me for something? Wouldn’t you have to, like, tell me if you were?”
Ilya is quick to assure Hollander before his paranoia takes him right out of this phone call. “It is not for interview, Hollander. I am just wondering. Answer the question.”
“And I can’t say that I would want to know whether I win the Cup.”
“Yes, other than that.”
“I guess… I guess I would want to know, like, am I happy?”
Ilya reads an article about 36 questions that are supposed to make people fall in love. He decides to ask them to Shane.- Language:

Summary
“Mmm. You want it bad,” Ilya purrs, teeth grazing the column of his throat.
“Yeah,” Shane whines, hating how petulant it sounds. A fresh flare of determination rises up in response. “Just give it to me. Ilya. I can—just go hard. Just make it fit.”
Ilya laughs quietly, incredulously. It’s hot against Shane’s ear. “Make it fit."

Or: in the midst of a stressful season, Shane's a little... out of practice. He's not gonna let that stop him getting what he wants.

Summary
Shane is traded to Boston during the hookup era, and his attempts to act normal and professional around Rozanov are a little too successful: fans start shipping him with Marleau, instead.

Summary
Ilya was good at noticing things about people, and he was good at understanding them. Shane was not. That was okay. Shane had developed his own way of getting to know Ilya. It involved a lot of inane questions and, more importantly, no longer involved condoms.

Summary
Ilya Rozanov wakes up from a medically induced coma, sixteen months into a mission to save the dying sun, and he can't remember a single one of his crewmates.
He's immediately drawn to one of them, though. Too bad Hollander won't give him the time of day.
