    Summary

    Shane knew himself well enough to admit it, there were real feelings there. Complicated, messy, painful feelings.

    And despite everything, despite the rejection, the distance, the confusion, he still craved him.

    Craved the intimacy.

    Craved the softness he had seen in flashes but never fully received.

    Why couldn’t Ilya open up like this?

    Why couldn’t he just… talk to him?

    Because this, this right here with Hayden, was easy.

    Shane looked at Hayden and couldn’t believe how natural it felt.

    Why was it so hard to be like this with Ilya?

    ---

    OR: Hayden finds Shane after the MLH Awards in Vegas where Ilya left him sub dropped and hurting. Hayden makes Shane feel better, and then things get complicated. Ilya's jealousy soars. He pushed Shane right into Hayden's arms, now he's fighting for him back.

    Summary

    Hudson and Connor are best friends. Both are in committed relationships with other people, and they’re about to begin filming the second season of Heated Rivalry.

    But a couple’s bracelet—seemingly harmless—becomes the breaking point that exposes buried tensions, jealousy, and poorly defined boundaries. Between arguments and mistakes that hurt more than either of them expects, they’re forced to face a truth they’ve been avoiding for far too long: what they feel no longer fits within the word “friendship.”

    “But I know,” François continued, his voice a tone deeper than usual, “that if I grab that fucking phone right now, I’ll find missed calls, typed and deleted messages, Facetime attempts… all directed at Hudson.”

    Connor clenched his jaw.

    “That’s not true.”

    “Isn’t it?” François looked at him with a mix of sadness and exhaustion. “Because I did worry about you. I did think about calling you. I did lie awake with the phone in my hand.”

    The silence became unbearable.

    “And yet,” he added, “you didn’t call me.”

    Summary

    “Am I speaking with Ilya Grigorievich Rozanov?”

    Ilya went silent immediately. That was not his brother’s voice. Nor was it Katia’s, his sister-in-law’s. It was an aristocratic, cold voice. He went completely still.

    “Yes.”

    “I’m calling from the Child Services Department, Ilya Grigorievich,” the woman continued, and Ilya frowned deeply. “Your brother Alexei Rozanov and his wife died yesterday in a car accident.”

    Twice in his life, Ilya had felt like this. The ice around his heart melted just enough for the numbness to vanish and give way to a sharp, stinging pain. It lasted only two seconds before he managed to compose himself. He didn’t want to feel anything for Alexei, so even if Katia’s death carried a trace of sadness—she was a mess, but she always tried to smile at him and cook warm meals for him when he visited Russia—, he dismissed the feeling entirely.

    “So what?”

    “You are the only living family member of their daughter. Your brother named you as her legal guardian, Ilya Grigorievich.”
