i think a lot of people forget that shane and ilya are incredibly easy for each other. they both hold each others leashes. they are walking and being walked
hayden's kids putting little clips and hairties into it... using one of those little chalk hair highlighters on chunks of his hair, ilya tucking it behind his ears
@yrterrblemuriel i really really like it because they both get something control-related out of it. shane can get out of his head and give up control while ilya can take that control he doesn't really have usually
shane always having control in his life vs ilya having little control over his life (especially related to his family) really makes me think hard about their slight d/s dynamic and power exchange when they have sex
@hllnvbugs i think that a Little stray cat randomly appears in the bushes by their house and they decide it's fate. it has a lot of energy so it can fit right in
