    Summary

    “My Maître would simply like the evening’s plans to go ahead without the reveal of a seam,” Armand simpers from his draped position on red velvet. “There’s much to discuss with the visiting provincial nobility he intends to host, as I’m sure you can imagine. Besides, at least the Prince is fairly predictable unlike some of our esteemed society fixtures. Even in these last years in titular exile, he has always been particular in his choice of accessory, has he not?”

    And, well.

    Louis would be hard pressed to deny that.

    “Always has liked himself a blue-eyed blond.”

    1787, Paris. Louis is a bourgeois man in the city with dreams of elevating his family name and securing his beloved siblings' futures through earning a title. While he has many businesses, it's his work as a pimp catering to the aristocrats of Versailles that he sees his path to social elevation, but when he falls fast and hard for Prince Magnus' prized courtesan, Lestat, things get - - complicated.

    Summary

    “You are planning to rob me or what?” He hears Rozanov call, and he can’t help but smile slightly even as he rolls his eyes, closing the door to the linen closet and feeling strangely lighter than when he opened it, reassured that he’s just trying to read into a blank page, that today doesn’t mean anything more than Rozanov doesn’t mind him being around, which is strangely flattering.

    “I don’t know,” he calls back. “Don’t Russians like diamonds and fur and stuff? Where should I start looking if I want to know what my options are?”

    He hears Rozanov laugh, and it makes him smile.

    When he joins him in the living room once more, Rozanov tugs him down to lean against him again. Shane goes easier this time, settling into it, knowing it doesn’t mean anything other than the fact that he just happens to be the closest warm body, the person on Rozanov’s roster who filled today’s slot.

    (the tuna meltdown doesn't happen) (this does not mean they get ANY better at communication)

    (or: how shane didn't realize he had a boyfriend for several months)

    Summary

    Ilya was used to hazing. He had been subjected to it, he had participated in it, and, as a captain, he had stood guard over the rookies and protected them from anything truly harmful. But if he had been asked, Ilya would have approved of this prank. He would have authorized it, given Cliff and Vicky his seal of approval, perhaps even helped orchestrate it.

    Any other day, Ilya might have been happy to play along.

    But, in perfect dramatic irony, it had not happened any other day. It had happened today. And, cherry on top, of course the rookie had to walk in when Shane was already freaking out about Ilya saying his name.

    +++

    A prank-gone-wrong leads to the Boston Bears finding out about Shane and Ilya’s relationship in 2016. The day Ilya first invited Shane into his house. Right after they say each other’s names for the first time. Fuck his life, honestly.
