Scott brought his smoothie up to his forehead, rolling the cool plastic cup over his temple to ease the headache he could already feel building. This was going to be an agonizing six-hour flight. Kip plopped down into the seat next to him, fishing his headphones out of his backpack. 

“You okay?”

“Why did I think flying anywhere with Ilya Rozanov would be a good idea?” Scott muttered, glaring across the cabin at the six-foot Russian who was deep in an animated conversation with Kyle. Probably about how he was going to send Scott to an early grave. 

The hockey gays take a trip to the Folsom Street Fair, and Ilya cannot help but be an absolute menace to Scott Hunter. Because it’s not like Scott is going to do anything about it, right? RIGHT!?

Or: the fic where Scott Hunter FINALLY takes the brat himself, Ilya Rozanov, in hand. 

This is not a foursome or a cheating fic. All pairings are canon.

He sat on the couch for a long time after Shane left, rubbing his thumb back and forth over his mama’s crucifix and remembering all the soft things he couldn’t have anymore.

Ilya was 12 years and 8 months old when his mama died. At 25 years and 4 months, he’d lived more than half his life without her.

“Eyes.” Unbidden and without his input, much to Shane’s horror, his eyes flicker up and lock onto Rozanov’s, the blue in them so unendingly deep right around the pupil that Shane get lost in them with no effort at all. I could tumble forward and drown in them, he’d thought more than once, when he’d been brave enough to look in them in one of their dark hotel rooms, or one of their spare bedrooms. Never mind that Shane was an excellent swimmer, he’d passed every survival drill during primary school-

Irrelevant, he reminds himself as he blinks again, focusing enough again to see the face in front of him, see the expression on that face, in those eyes. For his sacrifice, he’s rewarded with a soft swipe of Rozanov’s thumb over his lips, making the physical discomfort of looking into his eyes all worth it, and Shane relaxes into Ilya’s hold.

OR

Shane speaks to Ilya for the first time again at the 2014 MLH awards in Las Vegas and becomes aware that he's panicking about it all! Lucky Ilya is there, right? Right!

At first, it looked like admiration.

That was the problem.

When you were famous, really famous, the kind of famous that made people write essays about your facial expressions and clip your worst angles into “mean girl” edits and your best angles into slow-motion worship, you learned early that obsession wore a lot of costumes.

Admiration.
Loyalty.
Devotion.
Protection.
Love.

It all looked the same on a screen.

It all looked harmless until it didn’t.

Ilya is one test away from becoming a Canadian citizen.

Unfortunately, he has little motivation to study for reasons he'd rather not delve into. And Shane — Shane knows just how to get his husband to do what he wants.

(The one in which Ilya and Shane turn the Canadian Citizenship Test into a sex-thing.)

(Also, Ilya thinks deeply about his own affinity to Russia, and what it means to be from a place when that place no longer feels like home.)

He was aware of the stereotypes surrounding alpha-omega relations; although no one told him explicitly, one could gleam from societal expectations - or when he was young, from the crass taunts of schoolyard bullies before they were reprimanded by their teacher. Omegas were to play the more submissive role during intercourse, and to follow their partner’s instruction. But why then, did it feel like Shane barely did any work in bed?

Presently, lying supine on the pile of fur pelts that made up their bed, with countless lovemaking sessions under his belt, Shane understood. It was a give and take, just not in the way Shane expected. Like a potter with clay, nothing was more satisfying to Ilya than seeing his vision come to life, to knead and smooth and mold and carve, to work his omega up to such heights of pleasure until Shane burned from the inside out, firing him in the kiln of his own orgasm so that the whorls of Ilya’s fingerprints remained embedded in his skin forever.

Shane Hollander left the arena floor three years ago after an accident that nearly cost him everything. Now, he's the help, safe behind the chutes. Ilya Rozanov is the "Tsar of the Chutes," the world-champion bull rider who rides like he has nothing to lose.

They meet in the dust of the staging area, and the sparks are immediate. When Ilya makes his ride and comes looking for Shane in the quiet darkness behind the chutes, the tension they’ve been holding finally snaps. They both learn that sometimes, the most dangerous rides aren't in the arena.

Ilya leaned back slightly, still close enough that that Shane could feel her breath as she spoke, warm and wet on the side of her cheek.

“Doesn’t it fucking kill you,” she said lowly, darkly. “We are best hockey players in the world – and fuck being best women’s players, we are best players in the world. And we are what – just stuck playing games that they do not see, that they will never take serious.”

Shane tried to reorient herself. She sighed. “Of course it does,” she said. “But it’s getting—”

“Better, yes, fucking whatever. You should be angry, like me.”

“Do you want to kiss me?” Shane asked tentatively.

“Yes,” Ilya said, reaching so his arm was closer to where Shane was on the couch but not quite touching him. Shane felt breathless. Ilya’s eyes held his stare, “Do you want to kiss me, Hollander?”

“Yes,” Shane admitted. Ilya scooted closer to Shane on the couch until their knees were bumping. He put a hand on Shane’s cheek and–” It just might not be any good.”

Ilya stopped leaning in but kept his hand on Shane’s cheek, “And why do you say that?”

“I’ve only kissed girls, and I haven’t received any raved reviews. I was hoping maybe you would show me,” Shane said, wetting his lips with his tongue. Ilya followed the movement with a hungry stare.

“You need a teacher?” Ilya asks and Shane nods.

Tactical pyjamas?

Posted by Mark Liberman

For the past couple of years, internet advertising has been promoting (increasingly unexpected) things to me as "tactical": tactical shorts, tactical pants, tactical belts, tactical gloves, tactical hoodies, … These are basically imitations of military garments (to be worn in action as opposed to on parade), and I guess if my internet profile were different, I'd see more ads for imitation military firearms, not just knives and sticks and flashlights. More recently, I've seen tactical ice scrapers and tactical scissors. And most recently (and absurdly?), tactical pajamas.

Wiktionary's entry for tactical gives four senses:

  1. Of or relating to tactics.
  2. Of or relating to military operations that are smaller or more local than strategic ones.
    tactical nuclear weapon
  3. Adroit, skilful or ingenious.
  4. (firearms) Having a military appearance, typically with accessories such as a bipod, adjustable stock, detachable magazine or black coloration.

The use in reference to clothing, tools, etc. is presumably a generalization of the process that led to sense (4).

For the word tactics, Wiktionary's entry is less helpful than the OED's sense (1), "The art or science of deploying military or naval forces in order of battle, and of performing warlike evolutions and manœuvres", with the etymology

plural of tactic, rendering modern Latin (17th cent.) tactica plural, Greek τὰ τακτικά, lit. ‘matters pertaining to arrangement’

which connects us to syntax  "The order and arrangement of words", from

συν- syn- prefix + τάξις taxis n., after συντάσσειν to put together in order.

[And let's not forget the distinction between syntaxis and parataxis…]

The business about "matters pertaining to arrangement" also underlies the OED's sense (3) for tactics

Linguistics. C. F. Hockett's term for the study of the relation and arrangement of linguistic units, esp. the study of the arrangement of morphemes.

And of course there's also phonotactics, which these days is probably used more often than morphotactics is.

But tactical pajamas have entirely escaped the orbit of Greek τάξις and τακτικά, I think, though their holsters link them figuratively to military operations.
