    Summary

    Shane Hollander comes to the library because it is quiet, because nobody asks him for anything there, and because there he can be a man choosing a book instead of the story everyone thinks they already know.

    Ilya Rozanov has always been better at noticing things than asking questions.

    The books Shane touches.
    The ones he brings back.
    The hour he comes in.
    The way he says thank you like he is apologizing for needing anything at all.

    At first, they only talk about books.
    It is easier that way.

    Until it isn’t.

    Or: a slow burn librarian AU.

    Summary

    "You will bend for me many times, I think, before this production is over."

    Shane means to say no. He means to tell Ilya Rozanov—arrogant Bolshoi principal dancer and professional pain in his ass—to fuck off and stop moving set pieces without permission. Instead, he ends up on his knees in a dressing room, which is definitely not how the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s stage manager is supposed to handle conflict resolution.

    Three weeks until opening night. One impossible rivalry. And absolutely no way this ends well.

    or: Ilya comes to Winnipeg for The Nutcracker. Shane tries very hard to hate him. The mind-blowing hate-sex doesn’t help.

    Summary

    After the tuna melt meltdown, Shane meets Rose Landry, has several deeply inconvenient revelations, and decides to do the only sensible thing: win Ilya back with sincerity, logistics, and a frankly alarming amount of emotional effort.

    Ilya, meanwhile, mistakes every tender gesture for the kind prelude to an inevitable goodbye.

    Or: Shane is living in a romcom. Ilya is living in a Russian tragedy.
