    Summary

    Shane learns too much about his friends and their sex lives. They talk about things they’ve done in bed, and Shane starts to wonder if he’s doing something wrong.

    Curiosity piqued, the desperate get resourceful. Sometimes, those resources include asking the guy that you sometimes hate to teach you what you’re missing.

    Nothing can go wrong.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is a man who thrives on structure, routine, the solid ground of a ten-year plan. Ilya likes that about him, likes the embracing squeeze of having a life organized in tandem with Shane.

    No one would call Ilya a man who thrives on structure. But it’s there, if not in his DNA then in the patterns of his brain. A call-and-response of: they do this, I do that.

    When Ilya’s life is flayed open for the world to dissect, how will they push-and-pull their way back towards what was once a well-organized life?


    “I thought we could go through the schedules and figure out what days we’ll be in the same cities this season, or when either of us have a couple of days off in a row. Maybe make a shared calendar, so we c—”

    “A sex calendar? Your parents are arriving in thirty minutes, and you are proposing making a sex calendar?” Oh, this was delicious. He’d be able to eat out on this for years, if Shane was willing to give him that long.

    “It’s not a sex calendar! It’s just … when we might be able to see each other,” he finished, already sounding defeated.

    “And what are you planning on doing when we are seeing each other? Not fucking?”

    Summary

    Wyatt was not, like, nosy. For sure, he was interested. He was curious. He engaged with people, obviously, because most people were interesting and engaging and had cool thoughts and said neat stuff if you asked.

    So, no. Wyatt wasn’t nosy, but he wasn’t stupid, either.

    Summary

    Meringue is a sweet, hot, fluffy dessert. All the fics here will be purely self indulgent and without deeper meaning or conflict. For the foreseeable future, everything will be post-book 6 canon. Order is when I posted but not in internal chronological order.
