Summary
Ilya widens his eyes, moves his hands in an impatient “get on with it” motion. He has the urge to say it for him, end both their misery. Shane blinks rapidly a few times, takes another deep breath. “I want to stop,” he says simply.
Ilya lets out one humorless laugh, “Stop what?”
Shane ignores him. “At the All Star Game, I told you I liked you. And you said about Russia and your family. And I looked some things up. I get it. I get it better now. I know we can’t but I can’t stop wanting to be…more. Unless we stop.”
OR
Shane just wants to be friends and Ilya is, like, fine with that or whatever

Except, well. Then there are zombies.

Summary
Shane Hollander is leading the stressful but unspectacular life of a doctoral student in the small university town of Tübingen, Germany. His immediate plans include finishing his dissertation in Model Theory, teaching an introductory course in logic, and minding his own business.
Enter: an arrogant Machine Learning researcher, Ilya Rozanov. A disastrous one-night stand, academic rivalry, and so many misunderstandings follow.A bold, Ali Hazelwood-esque academic AU set in a world where hockey, unfortunately, does not exist.
.
"You smoke?" a voice asked beside him. Shane turned around, realising he was not alone.
"No, sorry," Shane answered, feeling slightly foolish.
The man shrugged, without a smile, and turned away — an unlit cigarette between his fingers.
"Wait — I have a lighter," Shane corrected himself, now feeling more than foolish, fishing Hayden's lighter from his pocket.
"So you're a liar?" the stranger asked, amused.
"No — you made the wrong inference," Shane replied. "It doesn't follow that a person in possession of a lighter smokes."Bookmarked by lsach

Summary
"Shane challenges himself to return the direct eye contact. Okay, a jacked bro with an accent, something Slavic. Huge arms, thick neck, a tank top that seems like a little much for a non-athletic situation, cutaway sides and straps that look spaghetti-thin where they land on his broad shoulders. It would’ve been cool to avoid the exact type of basic jock he spends his whole life around during the season, but you’ve gotta play the hand you’re dealt. And he must be great at what he does if all these people are so enthusiastic about him as a teacher. Shane will give him a chance."
or
Shane's on a silent yoga and meditation retreat. Ilya's gonna get him to make some noise.
