    Summary

    Shane has loved Ilya since they were boys. But when a devastating truth means he can never be the mate Ilya deserves, he chooses to walk away before love made him selfish.

    Unfortunately for Shane, Ilya has no intentions of letting him go.

    ABO! Hollanov

    First impressions weren’t exactly working in his favor.
    But Shane Hollander had never been particularly good at giving up.
    “I wanted to give you something.” he said in a rush, already digging through his pockets for the small trinket. “As a welcome gift.”
    When he managed to get a hold of it, his heart thumping nervously against his chest, he handed it over to Ilya.
    “It’s not much,” he admitted. “But I hope you like it.”
    For a long moment, neither of them spoke. The token rested quietly in Shane’s outstretched palm, its stitched crest catching the afternoon light.

    Summary

    mar·ces·cence /mɑːrˈsɛs.əns/ noun
    The phenomenon where a plant retains its dead, withered leaves through the winter instead of dropping them in autumn. The state of un-shed foliage losing its colour, drying out, and breaking apart under harsh elements while remaining rigidly attached to the branch.

    *

    No one can know Shane's an omega, and no one can know he's slowly falling apart. So Shane puts his gear on, locks his trembling knees, and steps back onto the ice.

    His mate doesn’t want him. His mate doesn’t want him. Ilya doesn’t want him.

    Summary

    "Shane Hollander," he said. "We are lying in the very comfortable bed you bought for me to fuck you in, in the very weird condo you bought, also for me to fuck you in."

    "It's an investment," Shane grumbled.

    "And I have just fucked you, I think, very well," Rozanov continued. "At least I do not remember any complaints."

    He swung his body easily across the bed, pinning Shane in place.

    "No complaints," Shane huffed, almost a laugh. "No complaints here."

    "So why the fuck," Rozanov said into the soft skin beneath Shane's ear, "are you asking me about other men?"

    ------

    Or: Shane thinks what he needs to do is fuck another man. Just to see. Just to know. Just to test if it's only Rozanov who can make him feel this way.

    But he has no idea how to go about fucking a stranger without it immediately becoming a story in the tabloids.

    And he can think of only one person to ask for advice. So, in a post-coital haze, he makes the obvious move: he asks Ilya Rozanov, his extremely casual fuckbuddy, for advice on how to pick up other men.

    Summary

    He needs to move, maybe get Rozanov’s attention before he loses his nerves.

    And then the room tilts. His vision narrows, red light smearing into pink and white streaks. Shane staggers. The beer slips from his fingers. It shatters, foam splashing his shoes, glass skittering away. His knees give out like someone kicked him, and his hands shoot forward to hold himself upright.

    His left palm lands in broken glass, though he doesn't feel it. What he notices is the certainty that everyone sees, that they can smell him—something sour and wrong. His scent, despite patches and care, has turned exposed.

    OR: What if we took the club scene from episode 4 and had Shane collapse from experiencing Omega Rejection Syndrome after seeing Ilya dancing with someone else?

    Summary

    "You suck shit at seducing targets," Ilya grits his teeth. "Remember Prichard's daughter?"

    Shane throws his hands up. "Oh come on! That was a long time ago."

    "Two weeks ago," Ilya fires back. "If fate of communism rests on you getting someone into bed we would all be dead."

    Or: hollanov spy!AU, where sexpot extraordinaire Ilya Rozanov and lethal intelligence officer Shane Hollander have to pose as normal, American college students by day and overthrow the U.S. government by night.
