Summary
“It’s weird,” Shane says. “Like something’s missing.”
Ilya hums, his eyes flitting to the bump where the baby was until just yesterday. His stomach is still distended, though softer than before, like his body hasn’t caught up to what just happened yet.
Shane isn’t sure that’s what he meant, but maybe Ilya’s right. Something was inside him, and now that thing is out in the world, a separate being that’s able to live and breathe without him.
Or, Shane decides the best way to beat the post-retirement-blues is to have a baby, but bringing new life into the world is no small feat.

Summary
But it is seven in the morning in the middle of the summer, one of the last summers they will have like this, where it feels like they are running away, and it doesn’t feel like death. It doesn’t feel like stubbornness, laying here with Shane. It doesn’t feel like it has cost him anything.
But God, when Ilya thinks about it, he remembers what it cost.
--
The world is always clamoring for llya’s spoils of war, and his secrets, and Ilya is not angry about it. If Achilles does not feel scorn, Patroclus does not die. It is simple, and also it is not, because as much as Ilya will always be Achilles to everyone else, Shane is the one who deals in victories and concessions. Shane is the one who makes it so that Achilles and Patroclus die together, though whether that is on the battlefield or in old age as esteemed friends in the palaces they have built on blood and bone remains to be seen.

Summary
By the time Damian Wayne realizes that perhaps his incorporation into the family had left a lot to be desired, he's crossed a line of no return. Where he could have gained allies, he made enemies. When he could have proven himself he chose to grow complacent. Now a year later he finds himself at loose ends with a father back from the dead who doesn't seem to know what to do with him, and a pair of brothers at each others throats. The more that Dick and Tim's relationship sours, the more that Damian's failure claws at his mind. Soon he becomes determined to prove himself worthy of his place as Robin. To prove himself worthy of staying. But the more he tries the more he seems to fail, and soon he starts to wonder. Is it too late after all?

Summary
Shane lay awake that night and listened to the sound of the tap running.
Ilya was in the bathroom. He was using the toothbrush that Shane had picked out for him, scrubbing his neat, white teeth, turning this way and that to reach the molars. He was wiping his mouth with the same towel that Shane used to dry his hands. He was walking down the hallway, floorboards crackling beneath his weight, and when he reached Shane’s door, he stopped.
Shane held his breath. Waited for him to move.
Shane Hollander at seventeen is a star swimmer, a mediocre student, and a boy running out of ways to silence his own heart. Ilya Rozanov is the Russian exchange student who’s living at his house.
Shane’s determined to keep him at arms-length. Ilya has other ideas.
Featuring: teenage angst, forbidden love, and an unreasonable amount of East Asian drama.

Summary
He would love to be the kind of person who could laze around in bed with his lover (it was the term they’d settled on at Ilya’s insistence, dreadful) but Shane just wasn’t built that way.
Or: one year post-cottage, are Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, who are so good at so many things, any good at all at being in love?
