    Summary

    Shane Hollander is the youngest Commander in ISS history; straight-backed, closeted, and so tightly on his own leash that seven months in orbit with Ilya Rozanov have not produced a single crack in his composure.

    Ilya Rozanov is the Russian cosmonaut who should have had his job, won’t stop bouncing a tennis ball off the walls, and is still looking for a fissure. Thankfully, a solar storm finds it for him.

    or: Near-death, zero gravity, and the wrong man’s hands in exactly the right places.

    Summary

    "Why are you not scared?"

    "I am scared," Ilya admits. "I just am tired. Of hiding me. Of hiding you. Of hiding how much I love you. I want to go to the rink— how do you say it? Authenti."

    "Authentically," Shane supplies, automatically.

    "Yes. Authentically. I want to go to the rink authentically, as me," Ilya confirms.

    Ilya looks at Shane, pauses until Shane meets his eyes. "I want to say: I, Ilya Rozanov, love a man, and that man's name is Shane Hollander."

     

    -

    Or, sometimes it takes a little more time, and some courage, to be with the one you love.

    Summary

    No was two letters. A single syllable.

    Possibly the easiest word in the English language.

    And Ilya hadn’t said it.

    Instead, he said, “It meant nothing, Hollander.”

     
    OR

    what if Ilya fucked Scott Hunter and then this became emotionally devastating for everyone moving forward

    Summary

    Shane could do this. He could go through the motions, greet people, and play at being a gracious host. He could pretend to be happy for a few hours, and then he could go to bed and curl up against Ilya and finally start to untangle the clusterfuck of feelings in his chest.

    It wasn’t like today had gone badly. Quite the opposite, actually. No one had died, or even gotten injured. The kids all took to their groups nicely, and Shane’s confidence in his own coaching ability had stabilized by the afternoon. Ilya was a fucking incredible to watch, and the kids loved Ryan and Wyatt.

    None of that was the issue. The issue was Scott fucking Hunter’s perfect fucking speech.

    -OR-
    shane and ilya get ready to coach their first summer camp, but they run into some roadblocks- shane's anxiety, ilya's frustration, and scott's intuition that something is going on between them
