Hug now, escape later

This is 24,000 words as opposed to the "oh I guess 7-10,000" I originally envisioned. And it is a sequel to my previous attempt at "but under what circumstances would Ilya Rozanov bottom" (he didn't. They had emotionally significant dildo sharing instead), and it is a sequel to Everything You Know.

With much gratitude to silverssorrysoul, who isn't even particularly interested in the switch!ilya agenda but is a great SPAG beta and entertained some Ideas, and also to hollanovscuckchair who Entertained Some Headcanons and Concepts and beta-read at a different stage to silverssorrysoul, and with gratitude to oakashandwillow for not only beta-reading Everything You Know but entertaining my Concepts at that stage (some of which have come to fruition in ths sequel), and also to bomberqueen17 for entertaning Concepts that got dispersed between what are, now, at least three Continuities of fic I have committed, well. I present to you:

Series: Part 2 of In Which We Contemplate Ilya's Ass
Summary:

Ilya Rozanov has been a married man for exactly one year when it dawns on him - all at once, and somehow an inevitable milestone - that he wants his husband's dick inside him.

...

Or: Ilya has an Insight, and then plays 5-D chess with himself in an effort to get a Good Grade In Assertive Bottoming, a thing that is normal to want but tricky to achieve if the judge and the current title holder is Shane Hollander.

Memo to oakashandwillow, reproduced for DW: the working title for Everything You Know, which we were both so fond of, is now the series title. Series: "In Which We Contemplate Ilya's Ass".

Additional note: AO3 user samalander and I chatted about our adjacent concepts, before (Cherry) On Top was published. The actual pivotal sex acts involved are different, and the vibes aren't exactly the same, but the core questions are the same or closely related. IDEK. If you are "interested but eeh" or "liked the idea hated the execution" re my specific fic, AO3 user samalander might have the thing you're looking for.
