something in the water - Chapter 6

listen to the chapter (09:04 min) | read the chapter (1,541 words) Ilya/Shane (Shane & Rose, Shane & Svetlana) 5+1, Card Games, Shane Hollander is Good at Cards, Canon Compliant, PoV Outsider, PoV Multiple

Summary:

“I can always play poker,” Hollander says, far slower than he’d recited the stats. “What are you playing?” “Durak,” Ilya says when the others just look expectantly at him. After a beat, Hollander seems to muster up his courage. “Can I join?” * Or: Five times people learn the still waters of one Shane Hollander hide a veritable card shark, and one time Ilya gets to see a different side.

In this podfic project, Shane gives impromptu sex education!
