Silly Little Lie by lillygoeson
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
27 Dec 2025

Summary
Against every instinct that had guided Shane his entire life—the instinct to be careful, to be reasonable, to not rock the boat—he leaned into the moment.
“Well,” he said lightly, the words tasting strange and powerful on his tongue, “it’s nice to have a regular man like that.”
The phrase echoed something Rozanov had once said about women, casual and dismissive back then.
Now, it landed like a match.
Shane watched the exact second it ignited.
Or, Shane tells a small, stupid lie because he’s tired of being boring—and accidentally finds out just how much Ilya Rozanov cares.

Summary
Shane went down hard, bleeding on the ice, and Ilya was hiding in a stairwell to avoid Shane's teammates when he caught up on the WAG chat and saw the missed call from Jackie.

Summary
“Lily,” Hayden says automatically. “You know about Lily?”
Something flickers across Rozanov’s face. His jaw twitches. “Yes, I know about Lily.” He raises his eyebrows.
Hayden feels like a complete asshole, all of a sudden. There’s just been too much going on to even think about Shane’s mystery girlfriend. “Shit, I should probably, like, call her, or something? I don’t know this girl at all, but Shane’s been obsessed with her for years. If she was watching the game, she would have seen him get hurt.”
“You don’t need to call her,” Rozanov says, and when Hayden glances at him, he still looks fucking miserable but now he’s rolling his eyes, a much more familiar expression of disdain on his face. “She’s sitting right here.”

Summary
"Ilya," Shane says, voice lilting and Ilya might fucking cry.
"Hey," Ilya says, magnetized and moving towards him. Shane looks — soft, he looks fine, so fucking breakable but not broken.
"There's my man," Shane says, in a small voice, musical. Ilya closes the distance between them, needing to touch him and needing him to lower his voice in equal measure.

Summary
“Calm down. Can hear your heartbeat from here,” Ghost mumbled into his shoulder.
“Are— are you bloody falling asleep right now?” MacTavish demanded furiously, looking over at Ghost as the woman on screen’s wails reached a fever pitch; Ghost, who was unhurriedly rooting through a bag of candy with heavy eyes, looked up at him.
“Come on, it’s not so bad. He’s not even started taking his limbs off, yet.”
surprisingly— or unsurprisingly, if you really think about it, ghost loves horror movies. mactavish can’t stand them

Summary
Ghost and Soap had settled into a routine by now: Stay close, but never get too close. It was like an unspoken rule, the professional barrier they had placed between each other firmly keeping them from anything beyond friendship. The system worked, didn't rock the boat – until Ghost got deployed on a long-term assignment and the physical distance between them only seemed to push them even closer together.

Summary
Ghost knew secrets, so he let MacTavish keep them. He didn’t need to know every little detail, didn’t need to know how he ended up with a decorative plate from Iceland or what was up with all the pillows in his house and on his sofa or if that was his cup, a lumpy thing made of clay in the back of the cupboard that had been painstakingly been painted years before and was chipping at the edges.
To Ghost’s chagrin, there was nothing in the field manual about wanting to know someone— nothing about wanting to live outside of the military, and nothing at all about being human with anyone else at all.

Summary
I’d take you out, you know?’
‘Yer full of shite, Lt,’ Johnny’s chuckle sounded wet, and when Ghost opened his eyes, he met Soap’s blues, teary and red-rimmed.
‘I’d do it,’ he insisted, finding Johnny’s hand and squeezing it as much as he could, voice breaking over emotions he was too drugged-up to truly comprehend. ‘Next lifetime?’
‘Aye, Simon,’ Soap nodded, lips wobbling as he was fighting back his tears, fisting Ghost’s hospital gown just a bit more desperately. ‘I’ll take ye up on that.’or
Waiting for too long, holding back in the line of duty, Simon and Johnny get another chance to find our if their banter was ever meant to be something more.

Summary
Instead, then, he sat still, watching the sunlight shift and dim through half lidded eyes. No one came in, no one spoke to him; the blood before him, where the soldiers had bled, was just turning scarlet at the edges, the individual droplets oxidising maroon.
Ghost makes a bad call, and a mission ends badly. Only he forgets he has someone still waiting for him at home base

Summary
His hands were shaking so badly he misdialed twice before he got it right; he hit the call button and jammed the phone to his ear, taking in his surroundings.
It was half past three, and MacTavish’s room was simultaneously too cold and too hot; Edinburgh, perpetually rainy, was visible through his half open curtains.
Nightmares aren’t so bad when you’re together, even miles apart <3

Summary
Two drowning soldiers wasn’t better than one, Ghost reminded himself, staring at the water where he had fallen— twenty seconds— the only thing worse than cold water shock was jumping in unprepared, blind— twenty five— they were trained to survive drowning, to swim in all conditions, and MacTavish was the best of the best; Ghost had to trust that he would be okay, that—
Nearly drowning on a mission, and dealing with the aftermath <3

Summary
Snow whipped around them both in a frenzy. It was all Soap could do to keep putting one foot in front of the other, dragging them both forward as frost nipped at his bones. Wind slammed them from all sides, roaring through the bare trees and covering Soap's footsteps as quickly as he made them. Claw-like branches grabbed at him and Ghost, but he didn't dare stop, no matter how hard they tried to force him back.
Stopping meant death.
And Soap wasn't about to let the man he loved freeze and be left forgotten in no-man's-land.
— ❄️ —
Trapped in a collapsing blind and battered by days of snow and silence, Soap is fraying at the seams—cold, half-mad, and absolutely convinced his lieutenant is some cocked-up apparition of a man. But when the mission turns, everything spirals, leaving Soap to drag an injured, hypothermic Ghost through blizzard and blood to the last safehouse still standing.
(Or: A storm. A sniper’s nest. A confession years in the making. And the quiet moment where Soap finally gets to hold the man he never stopped falling for.)

Summary
It was unusual for MacTavish to get leave, even more so for him to actually take it off base, the fact that this depended heavily on where one Simon Riley was stationed at the time was a realisation that MacTavish wasn't sure if he was ready to face. However with Riley away on an assignment and his mother threatening him with bodily harm, MacTavish accepts the invitation to drive down to Glasgow to be harassed by his family about his, totally non existent, crush on his lieutenant.

Summary
Freediver John “Soap” MacTavish has trained for years to break the world diving record—pushing his body beyond limits, mastering the silence of the deep. But as the record attempt nears, something begins to stir beneath the surface.
Something watching him.
Something waiting.It starts as a feeling, a presence just out of reach, one that fills him with unease... and a strange sense of longing. The deeper he dives, the more he feels it, a pull that’s not just in his mind, but in his bones.
Like he’s not alone down there. Like whatever is waiting for him in the dark has always been meant for him, and him alone.- Language:

Summary
The Chandrasekhar Limit:
The theoretical maximum mass a white dwarf star can have before it collapses under its own gravity resulting in a neutron star or a black hole."The shot that nearly took Johnny from him had been anything but silent. It'd been deafening in the close quarters, but still somehow paled in comparison to the sound Johnny's body made when it hit the ground unsupported. The shot may have been louder than the supernova, but to Simon, it had been no less devastating."

Summary
And in that pulse of light John sees him.
A man wearing a dark hood stands at the end of the hallway, massive and hulking, larger than any human should be. His shoulders rise and fall, slow and steady and John knows whoever this man is — he’s no soldier. There’s an underlying motion to him, a twitch that has John reaching for the pistol that he doesn’t have, warning bells going off in his mind.
The light sputters once more, and the figure is shifting, the slightest incline of his head as if he’s just realized John was behind him. But something is — different, the light seeming to catch on more than one shape at once.
“Identify your —” but words fail him as the figure turns further, John able to get a peek of what lies beneath the hood, the harsh light catching on the edge of a white skull mask. Haunting and familiar and John feels his breath catch sharp in his chest.
“Simon.”
