    Summary

    Shrugging one shoulder far more casually than he possibly feels, Ilya says, “I like both. Is secret, okay?”

    “Okay,” Hollander says, voice cracking.

    He doesn’t say anything else. The air’s so heavy around them that it feels like being in the middle of a scrum, the weight and heat of all those bodies pressing down on you. Danger always feels like hockey; it’s the most dangerous thing Ilya knows, except for this. Everything dangerous in his life involves men’s bodies and just how close he can get to them. Closer than he probably should.

    A year after mysteriously dropping out of the 2009 draft, Shane Hollander is signed by the Boston Raiders, right behind Ilya Rozanov. Having the two biggest stars in the league on the same line is great for Boston — but playing alongside their worst rival was never exactly in Shane or Ilya's plans. Especially not when staying away from each other starts to feel just as impossible as getting along.

    Summary

    Max stands, pacing again, and says, “I mean, what do I do? I can’t tell them I know now. It’s way too late for that.”

    “It’s really okay,” Troy says far too optimistically. “It’s not that big of a deal.”

    “Yeah, you can say that because you're not the one who heard Ilya tell Shane he misses his slutty little mouth."

    Or: The Centaurs' newest rookie speaks Russian. It's too bad that Shane and Ilya don't know that.

    Read in Russian here!

    Summary

    In the video playing on the little screen in Shane’s hand, Hunter gets up with some help, his left arm cradling the elbow of his limp right one. That shoulder is probably dislocated, something that Shane distantly recognizes is going to suck tremendously for him to have to let heal practically at the start of the season. Ilya still isn’t moving.

    Ilya is injured during a game. Not only does Shane’s world not end in the aftermath, it gets a little bit brighter.

    Summary

    The ghosts aren’t new. Alex has been seeing ghosts all his life; if he goes more than a couple waking hours without spotting at least one stray spirit, something has gone horribly wrong. What’s new is the cute ghost - the one with the sun-colored shiny hair and the mouth that pinches as he paces the library stacks. He is new.
    ---
    or, Henry is a ghost stuck in the library of the university where Alex is an exchange student. Wouldn't it be a shame if they fell in love?

    Summary

    Henry Fox has given up on love. He has no desire to be in a relationship, and he doesn't miss it at all, except the times his house is so quiet the wind outside seems to echo. Or when he sits down to eat dinner in silence aside from David’s whimpering at his feet. Maybe when he crawls in a king-sized bed at night, with only a beagle to take up the rest of the space. But that's fine, all of it, he is more than capable of being by himself- in the vast emptiness that was a rural Texas night. He doesn't need anyone, certainly not Alex Claremont-Diaz and his insistence that he knows how to keep hookups casual.
    -------
    So, this fic was born out of seeing a tweet about following someone around in a club all night because they said to, and someone requesting I write a very dom Henry vibe along with some puppy Alex vibe. Enjoy?

    Summary

    Henry knew it was time to go.
    When he reached the safety of the porch and dropped into a chair, he realized he was shaking. He closed his eyes and listened to the ocean’s sagacious night voice.
    Things would get better.
    The longing for Alex was only so intense tonight because they’d been apart a long time. And then there was the one-bed thing, of course.
    But in case it didn’t get better, he had a Plan.
    Had made it, in fact, as he watched Alex’s body slide closer to him in the darkness.
    Alex knew nothing about his sexual past. So Henry would say he was discovering an interest in men and ask him for advice and even training. An outlet for his need — without jeopardizing their thriving friendship.
    It was a rash, risky plan. But at least it was a plan.

    Summary

    Alex wasn’t made to be the type of person that will cook someone breakfast in the morning. Dancing around with someone he loves in his underwear isn’t something he gets to have. He’s awful at remembering anniversaries and inept at thinking of grand romantic gestures. Candlelit dinners, handmade cards, buying flowers—it’s just not what he’s built for.

    And that’s fine.

    Alex doesn't need any brave hero to save him, and he sure as hell was never meant to be anyone else's prince charming.

    That's why this—his thing with Henry—is the perfect solution.

    AC/DC: it’s true, i’m a grindr virgin, i’ve mostly dated girls before and y'all are… wild here.

    Outsidethefox: It is certainly an experience. I have only signed in once before myself, but so far the second time seems to be much of the same.

    Outsidethefox: With the exception of this conversion of course.

    OR: Alex waits until he’s been living in England for an entire week before he finally downloads Grindr.

    Summary

    "Yeah, but it's the monarchy," Alex said, studying his cuticles carefully, rather than look his mom in the eye. "I hate everything they stand for."

    "Are you sure it's the monarchy you hate?" Ellen asked. "Or just one member of it in particular?"

    Alex sighed. "Look, it's still, what, a couple of months away? That's plenty of time to find someone else to go."

    "Alex, for the last time--"

    The door to the Oval burst open. Alex whipped his head up to see Prince Henry rush into the room, Zahara and Henry's equerry close behind. "Madam President," Henry said, "my name is Henry George Edward James Fox, and I wish to to formally request asylum."

    Summary

    How he can feel a ghostly embrace, a phantom laugh, and the words “hello, love” at different times of the day. Alex feels too much, and he wonders if it will ever stop. If he will wake up one day and not feel like the world has ended when he remembers why the other side of the bed is empty. If he will ever stop hoping, wishing, dreaming, for a miracle that might never happen. If it is even possible for him to stop hoping. To stop wanting. To stop loving. Alex wonders if he will ever stop feeling like his chest has been carved open. He has an imprint of Henry in every fiber of his being, and he does not think he will ever be free of it.

    OR,
    Henry remains in an unconscious state after a car accident, and Alex must learn how to continue living his life.

    Summary

    For the second time that evening, a hand suddenly smacks his shoulder. Henry looks up, expecting Philip, but instead he is greeted with a smarmy smile. Henry’s stomach drops at the sight of the man who stands behind him.

    “Christopher,” Philip laughs. His brother stands, and he and the man shake hands vigorously above Henry’s head. Henry wants to melt into his seat and disappear. “I’m so glad you could make it. Henry, you remember my mate, Christopher Lewis?”

    Henry stares down at the intricately folded napkin in front of him.

    Christopher Lewis: 2011 St Andrews graduate, excellent skier, wine aficionado. Seven years older than Henry. Green eyes. Nice shoulders.

    Yes, Henry remembers Christopher Lewis. He wishes he didn’t.

    After years of not seeing him, Henry runs into Philip's old friend again. Fallout ensues.

    Summary

    “She truly is your daughter, Alex,” Henry sighs, defeated.

    “Fuck off, sweetheart,” he laughs, a soundbite of the sun. Henry forces himself not to physically react, the term of endearment sweet and menacingly familiar coming from Alex’s lips. It’s been years. “You know they’re useful.”

    “Ah yes, eyelashes, truly a formidable instrument in managing international relations.”

    Alex grins, and Henry is too late to catch the slightest downward lilt on the corner of his mouth, “Worked on you once, didn’t it?”

    Oh, did that ache.

     

    (Much had happened since the time Henry had told Alex to leave. Alex had passed the bar, gotten married, had the most beautiful daughter. And Henry, well. He stayed right where he was.)
