Summary
Charles looks up from his drink, eyes dancing. “You read Ginsberg,” he says, and then, “What am I saying—of course you read Ginsberg.”
Erik has read widely and studied extensively but is usually surrounded by people who assume he hasn’t. Charles has consistently been the exception to this. From anyone else, the comment would sound patronizing, but Charles says it as if it’s a wonderful fact that he’s somehow simply forgotten—right, of course sunshine feels good on your skin. Of course Erik Lehnsherr reads Ginsberg.
Erik's lips tilt up in half a smile. He feels something that Charles often makes him feel: the urge to rise to the occasion, to impress, to show off. He takes another drink of coffee, meets Charles’s eyes, then says, “I look at you and I would rather look at you than all the portraits in the world.”
Or: Soft sheets, post-sex coffee, and quoting literature as foreplay.

Summary
“Charles,” Moira said, “do you know where you are?”
Charles’ eyes blinked open. He glanced around for a moment, seemingly taking in the faces of everyone around him. Then blue eyes met grey and…
“I'm on a beach,” Charles said, his eyes wide as he stared up at Erik, lips turning upwards, “in Cuba.”
An unsteady hand reached upwards, fingers trembling as Charles’ hand carefully came to rest against Erik's cheek. His thumb brushed away a single tear.
“With you. You're here.”
My love.

What if things had gone a little differently in Cairo? AKA Erik and Charles get to be happy.

Summary
“Is this about the choking thing?” Shane asks. “I only said no to that because I’m not letting you compromise my fucking airway during sex.”
“But it is not compromising your airway when my dick is in your throat?”
“No. This is why you lost today, because that’d be my esophagus, not my trachea,” Shane corrects. He’s such an asshole sometimes, Ilya loves it. “Anyways, I don’t think we do anything kinky?”
Ilya abruptly feels like he’s lost the plot. “Hollander, I am pretty sure we do.”
shane has a bad call. afterwards, ilya makes sure he gets what he needs.

Summary
“I did something stupid,” Shane confesses, inhaling rapidly. He's still crying, still frozen in the doorway, besides his hitching chest and watering eyes. Hayden's never seen him like this, overtaken with emotion, bitter exhaustion in his voice. He makes a soft choked noise, and Hayden immediately wants to kill something, whatever it is that's making him feel so awful. “I—Hayds—you're gonna hate me—”
“No,” Hayden says before he can even finish the thought, almost hurt by the accusation. “No way. You're—I wouldn't. I won't.”
Shane sniffs, offering him a sad smile, his eyes watery and solemn. It's an unfamiliar look, burnt through with sorrow and twisting doubt, sharp worry in the furrow of his brow. “You are,” he says, soft and certain. “I do, and I'm the one who's doing it.”
OR: Shane returns to the hotel room, post-tuna melt. Hayden spirals.
