    Summary

    Halloween night 1984, Omega!Steve stumbles soul sick and heart broken out of a party, the echo of ‘bullshit’ ringing through his mind, grief tripping up his steps and his scent fracturing in a hopeless cry for help.

    No one except Alpha!Billy Hargrove is there to witness the former King of Hawkins High fall to his knees, crumpling from the pain of Nancy’s rejection.

    No one but Billy is there to pick Steve up from the pavement, to hold the Omega right up over his heart till angry tears have turned to desperate kisses, and to hear Steve whisper ‘don’t leave me’ as the November sun rises over Hawkins, Indiana.
    ****

    “You called me Alpha.” Billys blue eyes turned red with rage when he found Steve back at Nancy’s side a few days later. “I take something like that real fuckin’ personal.”

    “Billy--”

    “Wheeler.” He lit a cigarette and stared the other Alpha down. “Get your hands off my mate. Now.”

    “Let it go, Billy.” Steve said softly pleading, but Billy shook his head.

    “No, I don’t think I will.”

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov, a professional dom, lives in the space between. Between shifts, between countries, between versions of himself. Control is what keeps things from falling apart. Control, and distance.

    Shane Hollander lives the life that might have been his. He spends his NLH career closing distance, closing gaps, moving toward things instead of away from them.

    When a chance meeting at the animal shelter crosses their paths, something unexpected carries between them, like a call, waiting to be answered.

     

    *This work is a remix/ heavily inspired by Wolfbird (OpalApparition), including people and locations. In my mind, a “what could have happened if they met in a different way and made different choices.” It’s sweet, has (mostly/eventual) soft landings, and features many puppies who absolutely did not ask to be a part of this, and one very dramatic chiweenie who did. 

    Thank you to OpalApparition for the encouragement to write what I love.

    Summary

    “You want to talk to people about me?” Shane asked quietly.

    There was something small and confused in the question. But Ilya was still furious and raw.

    “Well I would,” he sneered, “if there was anything about you that was fucking interesting to talk about! It would be nice to not be so fucking bored and miserable!”

    The second the words left his mouth, he watched the pain roll across Shane's features like a thousand fractures shattering through glass.

    Ilya had seen Shane nearly break ribs. He had seen him miss game-winning shots, take hits that left bruises blooming purple and black across his skin. He had never seen this.

    Shane closed his eyes for a long moment. He shook his head slightly, a tiny movement, then nodded once as if agreeing with something only he could hear. His face twisted briefly with a fresh wave of pain before he forced it to still.

    ---------

    What if Shane and Ilya don't make up so easily after the Boxing Day fight? The Centaur's plane never malfunctions, so Shane never proposes. Instead, Ilya gives him an ultimatum on coming out and going public. It backfires spectacularly.

    Summary

    Jaskier's been a ruined omega for six years now. He's been bought by more alphas than he cares to count, and sold on again; he knows how this works.

    Being bought by a witcher is a new level of terror...and then it turns out it's not just one witcher, but three. Jaskier is fairly sure he's going to die.

    And then it turns out that witchers really don't act much like human alphas at all.

    Summary

    Fourteen became fifteen became sixteen became seventeen, and every year that passed marked another year of anger, of rage, of mourning, of violence that was never the answer but always seemed to solve his problems anyways.

    Or: Soulmates can't hurt each other. Shane believes in them like a bedtime story: a nice idea, but that's all. Ilya doesn't believe it's possible for love not to hurt. His fascination with Shane Hollander has absolutely nothing at all to do with the push and pull soulmates are rumored to share.
