Summary
The audience all begin to clap like seals in some kind of waterpark show in Tenerife, and Aaron rolls his eyes and joins in too when Mack elbows him in the ribs and nods in the direction of Nicola from HR, who is frowning at him from across the room with beady eyes. Aaron sighs through his nose and turns his gaze back towards the front, raises an eyebrow in curiosity when he sees the twitch of unease in Robert’s almost photoshoot perfect grin as he takes Lawrence’s hand and squeezes tight.
“I give it six months before he’s caught shagging one of the salesgirls over his desk.” Mack murmurs to him from the corner of his mouth; Aaron snorts and tilts his head in further towards him.
“Bet you a tenner it’s five.”

I want to break open your ribcage and crawl inside you by electric_dragons
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
31 Jan 2026

Summary
Shane kissed him, then nestled his head into the curve of his neck. Ilya tried to remember how to breathe. It felt like insects were crawling under his skin again. He didn’t want to leave, fuck, he never wanted to leave again. He wanted Shane to press his face to his skin for the rest of his life, just like this. He wanted to break open Shane’s ribcage and crawl inside it.
(His heart did not feel big enough for everything he wanted from it.)
***
After confessing their love in the quiet, safe lamplight of Shane's Cottage, Ilya has a hard time coming to terms with the fact that he is loved. Shane notices, and doesn't let it slide.
***
Partially inspired by Chapter Thirty in the Long Game, but no knowledge of the books is required to read, and there are no spoilers. Enjoy.

Summary
Shane lifts one eyelid again to look at Rozanov. His eyes are red-rimmed. Like he’s been crying. “Why…why aren’t you in Boston?”
Rozanov’s brow furrows. “Why would I be in Boston?”
“You, you’re captain. Raiders. Boston.”
The room is silent except for the beeping of monitors.
In 2023, Shane takes a bad hit on the ice. When he wakes up, the last thing he remembers is a tuna melt.
There’s a lot to get used to.

Summary
Ilya wanted so badly to just tell Svetlana: It’s Shane Hollander, it’s always been Shane Hollander. He wanted to invite her over after the game so he'd know it was possible for her and Shane to exist in the same room without the world collapsing.
He was calling Shane back before he even thought about it, his heart in his throat.
“Ilya?”
“Can I invite Svetlana?"
He could never have expected what happened next.
Or: Only a few months after the cottage, Shane meets Svetlana—and goes to great lengths to defeat his jealousy.

Summary
We could talk about what the fuck Shane sees in you.
Ilya is still thinking about it hours later. In Shane’s dark bedroom, with the man in question snoring softly beside him, Ilya can’t let Hayden’s comment at dinner go.
In the moment, he didn’t process the jab as anything more than an excuse to take a cheap shot right back at Hayden. But now that the dust has settled on his first official conversation with Shane’s best friend, Ilya can’t forget the snide remark.
It’s not the first time someone questioned why someone like Ilya would be like someone with Shane. The first time anyone ever saw them as a couple, Shane’s dad made a comment about Shane being unable to find any ‘nice boys in Montreal’. Sure, they were still reeling from the shock of Ilya being more than a hockey player that runs his mouth more than not, but Ilya understands the implication. He is not a ‘nice boy’, not the kind of man that Shane deserves.

Summary
Ilya is minding his own business, fucking Shane Hollander into a hotel mattress, when out of nowhere, he is struck by a thought. Struck, a word he knows from hockey, and it feels like that, like a collision, maybe because it is so abrupt and maybe because it is so stupid.
I should cook something for him.
(Fighting the urge to show care towards the person you're sleeping with, or: Ilya Rozanov thinks about the tuna melt an extremely normal amount.)

Summary
It's over.
John is gone for good, Aaron lived to tell the tale, and now he's doing his best to get on with his life and learn how to trust himself again.
This mostly consists of moving into a houseshare with his best friend and figuring out how to date his ex-husband.

Summary
They were in the Hyatt in Leeds. It was admittedly a little expensive, the kind of spending John might have noticed, if they had a joint bank account, but Aaron had wanted to make it up to Robert.
It, in this instance, could be a half dozen things – an apology for missing their scheduled meet up because John had come home from work early, and Aaron hadn’t been able to get away, a sorry for all of the clandestine meetings in barns, a desire to want to do something nice for Robert, because the Robert he’d been married to had always loved a posh hotel room, and a fancy ensuite.

Summary
Robert hadn’t been raised religious. His family had been the sort of, special occasions only, kind of churchgoers, Jack Sugden never one to miss Christmas, or Easter service, but rarely attended otherwise.
If Jack had been some sort of God-fearing, every Sunday kind of churchgoer, then maybe Robert could wave away the way his dad had treated him, all those years ago, when he’d caught Robert with the farmhand in his bedroom. It wouldn’t have justified it, Robert knew, but it would have given him something to explain it away with.

Summary
“Have you considered the possibility that Neil has chosen you, but believes you have not chosen him?” Renee says. "Have you ever explicitly told him what you want?”
“Neil knows what I want,” Andrew snaps. This is not Andrew’s fault.
“How do you know?”
Because Neil always knows. He is as fluent in Andrew’s micro-expressions as he is in German and French. He knows which head tilts mean “go on” and which ones mean “shut up.” Without ever asking, he learned what it meant to see Andrew wearing double layers of long sleeves, or taking multiple showers in a day, and learned to hand Andrew the car keys.
That has always been the most terrifying thing about Neil — his patience to wait, watch, listen, learn. The prospect that if Neil were given enough time, there would be no part of Andrew that was just Andrew’s anymore.
“He has to know,” Andrew says.
“Does he?” Renee says. “Have you ever known Neil to assume that he is wanted?”
Five times Neil tells someone that he and Andrew aren’t dating, and one time Andrew uses his words to set the record straight.

Summary
Sam and Jess are getting married and Dean couldn’t be any happier for them. Honestly, they’re kind of disgustingly perfect for each other and Dean’s pretty damn excited about staying with them the week before the wedding. He’s Sam’s best man, of course, and he doesn’t even mind that Jess has her own best man to share in all the organisational duties. The more the merrier, right?
Except Dean must have done something to epically piss off the universe because Jess’s best man just happens to be Castiel friggin’ Novak. He’s got even hotter since High School, but apparently no friendlier and if Cas wants to spend the week pretending like they’ve never met before? Fine. Two can play at that game.

Aaron frowns. “What?”
“Robert,” she says, gesturing at the blond standing by the bar. "He’s deaf, and he doesn’t wear his hearing aid.”
