    Rendez-Vous 1987 by

    Summary

    In 1987, during a brief thaw of the Cold War, David Hollander falls in love with the right person at exactly the wrong time.

    For a few impossible months in Montreal, David and Soviet exchange student Grigori Rozanov build a life in the space between closing doors before the pressures of reality tear them apart. One of them learns how to open another. The other spends the rest of his life standing in front of the one that shut.

    Decades later, their sons inherit the consequences.

    Spanning continents, generations, and thirty years of history, this is ultimately not a love story but a meditation on what happens after one falls apart. On the futures we lose. The ones we build instead. And the choices that echo outward through families for decades: whether loving deeply means accepting the risk of loss, or whether loss is proof that love itself is too dangerous to survive.

    Because grief can either lead to a locked door or an open one.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander has spent most of his life knowing exactly who he is supposed to be.
    Then something attacks him in the woods.
    By morning, the wounds have already healed. His fever won't break. His senses are changing, and Hayden Pike seems to know far more about what's happening than he's willing to say.
    As the next full moon approaches, Shane is forced to confront the possibility that he's becoming something else entirely.
    Fortunately, Ilya Rozanov refuses to let him face it alone.

    Or:

    Shane gets attacked by a werewolf, Hayden knows way too much about it, and Ilya takes "in sickness and in health" extremely seriously.

    Summary

    'Why can't I seem to die?'

    The thought floated through Steve's swirling mind, and he started to laugh through his tears. God he was a mess, but suddenly he couldn't stop laughing. Steve Rogers, the premature infant, the sickly boy, the stubborn asshole couldn't seem to die. It wasn't like he was holding onto life particularly hard. His Ma was the strongest person he ever met, and even she was gone first. Why was he still here? Why on earth did he deserve to be here in place of anyone else that had died before him?

    -----

    Captain America. The myth. The legend. The mask.

    But what about Steve Rogers? What about the suffering young man who took up the mantle? What about the man who believes he deserves nothing less than to die?

    Summary

    He could still feel it now, the warm-wet slide of Ilya's tongue as he licked a stripe from the sensitive skin on Shane's palm to the tip of his middle finger, shocking a laugh out of him. The head-rush of feeling how quickly his cock hardened against the warmth of Ilya's bare ass, Ilya's full weight bearing down on Shane's hips. The heat of the blush traveling from his cheeks all the way down to his chest in response to the smoulder in Ilya's eyes.

    Мой любимый, this is excuse to put sunscreen on my naked body, yes?

    Shane gnawed at the memories like a dog with a bone, allowed himself to get lost in them until he felt physically sick, at which point he realized that he needed to switch lanes to avoid hitting the fawn, still unmoving, still unblinking.

    Summary

    “What do you know about it,” asked Ilya. He looked up toward the night sky, which was starless under the bright street lamps. “The curse, I mean. What did she tell you?”

    “So you do know about it,” said Fabian. Ilya turned back to look at him. 

    “A bit,” said Ilya. He took another deep drag of his cigarette. “It took my mother. In a way.”

    “I’m so sorry,” said Fabian. He kicked his boot into the wall. “My friend mentioned it was a bloodline thing.”

    “Yes,” said Ilya. “Rarer for men to have it, but. Here I am.”

    Irina was a Siren. Ilya has always been cursed to be just like her.
