    Summary

    A cough.

    Till's gaze snaps up at the sound, caught between disbelief and the cruelty of a maybe. He waits, dares not even to breathe, terrified that even a single sound would shatter the illusion.

    Another cough, so soft that Till would not have believed he heard it if he had not also noticed Ivan's shoulder jerk. For a single moment, he stays frozen in place as if in a trance. Then, the fog lifts.

    "Ivan?"

    Ivan survives Round 6.

    Summary

    Dean Winchester moved to North Jersey on a whim a few years ago.
    Charlie, his high-school bestie, scored him a paramedic job in one of the most violent areas in the country. Dean didn’t even blink. He’s wanted to be a medic ever since he spent his childhood patching up his dad’s various open wounds. He could tell you it’s because he’s noble, but nope — Dean just likes digging around in the squishy parts.

    Also, Dean’s an idiot.
    His adrenaline addiction sends him straight into a dark alley one night, where he ends up on his knees in front of an ocean-eyed mafia god who looks far too eager to let (force) Dean explore the insides a bit more.

    Summary

    Till believed Ivan died sacrificing himself for him. Ivan believed Till died in the fiery destruction of the Alien Stage.

    And neither knew that the other survived.

    Eight years later, Till has settled into caring for the children he'd rescued from the Alien Stage Museum with the help of the rest of the Rebellion, while Ivan continues working to fulfill what he believes would have been Till's last wish. When they're reunited, they have the chance to say everything they should have said once upon a time and to discover the mutual love that once eluded them. But only if they can overcome all the scars that mark them.

    Summary

    Dean Winchester was always destined for the Olympics. Granted, his dad had hoped for a traditionally masculine sport, but as figure skating goes, Dean lifting and twirling a (female) partner across the ice is as close as it gets.

    It’s also as close as Dean is gonna get to the things he privately hungers for. He gets to skate. He gets to compete on an international level. He even gets to be out as bisexual. So what if he doesn’t get to be the one soaring over the ice from a partner’s hands? It’s like a compromise. Or like having a brownie that’s made from black beans. It’s better than nothing, even if it doesn’t exactly get you all the way there.

    But then rules change and all that’s missing is a certain Olympic champion with dreams of his own.
