Summary
Alex knows a spy when he sees one. The man who stands before him should be nervous, hand twitching for his gun, now that he’s face-to-face with his mission for the first time. Alex knows the man’s a spy because he recognises the dead-eyed face that stares back at him from the mirror each morning.
There is a spy on Port de Pollenca, and he is going to take away everything Alex has managed to scavenge from the wreck MI6 made of his life.
Or
The Night Manager AU: Yassen is semi-retired and has semi-adopted Alex. They are guests of Richard Roper (billionaire with suspicious origin of wealth) while Yassen finalises his role in what he claims is an agricultural equipment company. But Alex wasn’t trained as a spy yesterday and knows that not all is as it seems. His suspicions are heightened by the appearance of a mysterious stranger on the island.
The stranger - a British spy, if Alex ever saw one - has infiltrated whatever it is that Yassen has gotten himself into. Now it is up to Alex to get them both out and away before they lose everything Alex is so desperate to keep.

Summary
"The crown suits you, you know," said Ser Duncan over the cacophony, and brought Baelor back to himself. "Makes you look... you know. Kingly. Which I suppose makes sense, given that you're the king now." A look of anguish crossed his face. "Oh, hells, I shouldn't be calling you 'you,' should I? It's 'Your Grace.' Please don't take—"
Baelor resisted the urge to rest his hand against the lad's back, as one might soothe a skittish horse. "No offense was taken, ser."
"Thank you," Ser Duncan said, then immediately amended, "Thank Your Grace...ness. Seven fucks, I'm getting another drink." And he whirled away into the throng before Baelor could say a word.

Summary
“I’m right here. And you are okay, and you are safe, and healthy, and you are at home, yes? It is quiet, and nobody is there, nobody is bothering you. And the world is full of stupid idiots, but you are not one of them. And I am here. When you need me, I am here.”
---------
or: The whole world thinks Shane is gay because of some stupid internet rumors, and he doesn't even have to confirm it. He's losing control of his entire life and he needs somewhere to put what little he does have.
Ilya has open hands.

Summary
When the unsentimental financial imperative of the NHL sees Shane traded to the Boston Raiders, he and Ilya are thrown into closer extended proximity than ever before. As they adjust to life as teammates, they are forced to contend with the nature of their relationship -and must answer for themselves: is it even a relationship at all?
____Sliding down the wall, Shane hunched over his untied sneakers, shoved on hastily when Coach had called him in for a meeting after morning skate.
“Boston wanted you specifically. I’ve already spoken to their GM. You’re flying this evening or tomorrow morning: I’ll confirm once the paperwork clears.”
“Mom,” Shane managed.
“Oh sweetie. I know, okay. Those fuckers, how dare they do this! Two fucking cups! Now all of a sudden they decide they want a reset and you’re going to fund it.”
Shane put his head between his knees and tried to breathe. God, Boston. They hated him there; it was so far away; he was fucking their captain.
