The Love Rooted In His Lungs by LovelyDaysAhead
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid

Summary
Shocked was not the word. Ilya ran for his phone and immediately opened Google. If he wasn't going insane, then there had to be a logical explanation for what had just happened.
'Why is a flower coming out of my mouth"
The simple search yielded results that made Ilya turn his phone off and sit down. He was on the edge of the bed, sitting and staring at his own two feet. He didn't know what to do. The top result was as follows,
'The Hanahaki disease is something that is very rare these days, only being seen in about 2% of the population. It is also referred to as 'unrequited love sickness'. This is caused by someone experiencing unrequited love, causing the body to grow flowers in the lungs and throat. The disease is usually marked by a full flower coming out of the patient the first time it happens. This then begins the progression of the illness, with smaller parts of flowers being coughed up at first, and as the roots get bigger, the patient will begin to vomit up full flowers just as the first time.'
or
Ilya Rozanov develops Hanahaki disease and chooses Shane Hollander over himself.

Summary
As Mike climbs the Squawk tower in the Upside Down, he considers confessing to Will, but before the words take shape, Vecna possesses Mike, and he is sucked into visions of guilt and self-hatred. With Will's voice guiding Mike out of Vecna's twisted mind, the only way for him to escape is to accept himself and his love for Will.
“What matters is you’re still here,” Will continued, “And you still think we can be friends.”
Mike felt a tug in his gut, a confusing sort of melancholic pang that drew a sad smile to his face.
“Friends.”
Mike wanted to be so much more than friends. He wanted to be honest with Will about everything: how he found out Will had lied about El commissioning the painting; how he realized Will's description of El’s feelings had been no more than a veiled confession; how he and El had broken up as his feelings towards Will took form; and how he finally began to understand his feelings, even though they had always been there, unchanging.
OR: A Season 5 finale rewrite of the "Friends? No, best friends" scene where Mike gets Vecna'd AND is actually a well-written character (who just happens to have internalized homophobia and loves Will).

Summary
The man furrowed his brow. “Are you two married?” he asked, glancing at Harry, who was watching the exchange with a confused frown. The cogs started to turn in Sirius’ head.
“...No.” Remus cleared his throat, obviously humiliated and disappointed. He started to turn away, devastatingly empty-handed. “Thank you for—”
“What he means,” Sirius interrupted, “is that we’re not married yet.”
...

And then Shane hammered it home, “This isn’t real.”
He was going to leave. He came here so that he could leave. So that he could end whatever the fuck this was between them in person so he could feel good about it. Because Shane wasn’t an asshole – no, that was Ilya’s job.
Fuck that.
If Shane was going to leave anyway, then Ilya might as well put it all on the table, “It is to me.”

Summary
[excerpt]
"So, you have concussion?" he asked, hating his broken English. But his throat was tight, choking him, and his head was a mess. The less he spoke, the better, or else he might actually cry."Yeah. I blacked out a couple of times, I guess. I don't remember the game." Shane let out a derisive laugh and Ilya didn't like the sheen of tears in his eyes. "I don't even remember my own team right now. Post-traumatic amnesia."
Ilya's heart stopped.
Amnesia?
"So you do not…" Remember me? Ilya wanted to ask, but he couldn't voice the words. Not with his throat constricted. Not when his heart raced. Everything faded away as white noise filled his head. Tears stung his eyes and his nose burned for some reason.
Shane didn't remember him.

tell me how it ends (and i'd do it all again.) by toeshur (jbuchanan)

Summary
Eddie looks up from his pancakes. “Oh.” He says, “Like, as in.” He raises both eyebrows slightly.
“Yeah, I’m still in love with you.” Richie confirms. “Sorry.” He adds after a pause.
Eddie gapes a little.
“A plate of fries for Gonzo.” A plate slams down in front of them rattling both their water glasses and Richie jumps. “And another prissy water for Sam Eagle.” Slam. Then the waiter storms off. Eddie doesn't even twitch still staring at Richie, who's grimacing at his fries that are definitely full of pissed-off waiter spit.
Okay, so maybe moving to New York was a rash idea after all.
or: A glimpse into Richie's first 3 months in New York post-Derry 2.0 featuring: The Many Facial Expressions of Eddie Kaspbrak, (1) Rabbit named Peaches, Richie’s New Mom sweater, Eddie and Richie being Just Friends, and a letter.

Summary
"Because I almost lost him, and all that mattered to me was that he was alive. He’s still here. So he doesn’t have to love me. He’s alive, he’s still in my life, he’s whole and strong and just as feral as ever. So how could I ever ask for more?”
Or, Eddie and Richie are the godfathers of Stan and Patty's daughter. Sometimes it's nice to have a baby to rant to about your seemingly unrequited gay crush on your childhood best friend. Sometimes the baby monitor is on without you knowing it.

”Bad news for all the ladies out there, because as of since birth, I’ve been a big old homo! I’m gay!”
There’s a beat of silence, and Richie knows it’s not bad silence because he knows his friends, trusts them completely, but a beat outside the closet feels terrifyingly long compared to inside the closet, and Richie wishes one of them would just -
”Me too.”
- say anything but that.

Richie swallows. “You want me to stay here while you jerk off?”
