    Summary

    “I know Ilya, I’m trying.” Shane tries to hide his exhaustion from his tone.

    “Could try harder, no?” Ilya raises an eyebrow.  

    “I get it, okay?” Shane pushes back, letting his enervation show this time. “I’m trying, but it’s hard. I guess I just need something that sticks. Something to hold me accountable. Consequences.”

    “I can help, with consequences.” Ilya shrugs easily, his voice free from any inclination of teasing. 

    “What, you wanna punish me?” Shane smiles, raising his eyebrows and pulls Ilya’s hand from his thigh up to his mouth to kiss it. “Spank me every time I people please?” 

    Shane can’t help but to chuckle at himself.
     
    “Would that help you?” Ilya’s voice is flat and serious. 
    .
    .
    .
    Or Shane jokes about needing consequences to motivate him to stop people pleasing. Ilya takes him seriously and offers to help.

    Summary

    Shane is still learning that he doesn't have to be perfect in his own relationship. Ilya is still learning the rules of Shane's bad days. So when Shane tries to push him away after a crushing loss, it leads to a tense argument. But ten years of rivalry are no match for Shane’s tears; the second he starts to cry, Ilya folds like a house of cards.

    Or: Shane tries to starve himself as punishment for losing, Ilya tries to feed him, and it turns into a very soft night of pampering because Ilya is legally incapable of staying angry at a crying Shane.

    Summary

    It was fortunate, she thought as she looked at him, that the world had been designed in such a way as to allow the truths of the heart to remain locked away. Wizards had done all they could to change that, of course — invented veritaserum and legilimency and the imperius curse and confunduses and half a dozen other attempts at obviating the miracle of interiority. But none of that could change the fact her heart was her own and all the bizarre, aching, rose-tinged thoughts that swirled and popped within her were not visible to the general public.
    Which was why it was unfortunate that in that moment her brain betrayed her and decided to blurt:
    “I don’t want this to be the last time we see each other.”


    It’s the last night at Hogwarts and nostalgia is in the air. Last chances, poor decisions, and solemn truths abound.

    Summary

    "I won’t take the room." She shakes her head emphatically. "Living with you is totally out of the question."
    "Obviously."
    “But if I did—"
    His brow furrows. "Would you?"
