  1. “This is just crazy,” J.J. said. “Give me that, Pike, I’ve got one he absolutely can’t pass.”

    “Oh, so you’re saying it’s my fault?” Hayden asked.

    “Skill issue.” J.J. paused. “Ok. Pedro Pascal.” His voice was smug. 

    A long silence stretched while Shane Hollander looked at the camera, seemingly deciding whether it was worth it to lie.

    “No!” J.J. said, horrified. 

    “Pass… I—What?”

    “The entire internet wants to fuck this man!”

    “Okay?!” Shane Hollander said, throwing his arms out. “I don’t know what to tell you!”

    “Jesus Christ, okay.” Hayden shuffled behind the camera. “Ilya Rozanov.”

    A flush bloomed across Shane Hollander’s freckled face, intensifying so fast it looked like his face was on fire. 

    “Uhm.” He pressed his lips together before his shoulders dropped in resignation. “Smash.”

    Or: A clip of Shane Hollander playing smash or pass goes viral and Ilya wants to eat him alive.

  2. “Hello,” Ilya repeats, still kind of stuck on those freckles.

    “Hi?” the man says.

    “Hi,” Ilya says—again.

    Oh god, he's said hello three times now. He should literally say anything else. His name, probably. His phone number, preferably.

    “Hi,” Ilya says again, because he can’t help it. “I am—”

    “Are you Nick?” the man asks, and it comes out as a breathless sound.

    OR: Shane gets stood up on a blind date, and Ilya comes to the rescue, and proceeds to make a series of questionable decisions.

  3. Shane walks into the Aux Vivres and immediately spots Rozanov at the corner table, doing a spectacularly awful job of disguising himself. The sunglasses he’s chosen to wear are hanging off his face, giving Shane a clear view of his blue eyes spotting him, lighting up and crinkling at the sides.

    “Mr. Rozanov.” Shane clears his throat and pulls his chair out. Ilya snorts and grins up at him, reaching up to take his sunglasses off and tuck them neatly into the collar of his hoodie.

    “‘Mr. Rozanov?’ What, am I fifty?” Ilya raises his eyebrows at him.

    “I will be quick,” Ilya’s voice was unusually quiet. “I wanted to ask…”
    “What?” Shane imagined all manner of questions. How are you? Will you ever get better? Is this the life you’re living now, really? Shane fucking Hollander, podcaster? Aren’t you ashamed of this pathetic existence?
    “I wanted to ask you out.”
    Shane’s brain stopped. He blinked. He might have swayed. “Out where?”
    “Out on date.”
    “What?”

    Years later, after winning cups that should have gone to Montreal, Ilya hears Shane Hollander's voice again. On the popular podcast Man in the Crease.

  6. “What the fuck is this?” Ilya turns from where he’s scrolling on the couch to see Shane holding up his laptop. On the laptop screen is a familiar webpage. ‘Vodka & Ginger Ale, Ilya Rozanov X Shane Hollander’ “I believe is called fanfiction Hollander, is very popular with young people,” Ilya replies casually. “And would you care to explain why, when I opened my laptop, it asked me if I wanted to publish another chapter?” -------------- I.e. Ilya writes a Fanfic based on their daily lives
