Summary
Ilya grinned smugly. “Fine. That is what I thought. Let me fuck you, Shane, I promise it will be so much better than fine.”
“Why are you so obsessed with me?”
“You are pretty. And I like a challenge.”
“Asshole,” Shane spat.
“I get off at eleven. Come home with me tonight.”
“Fuck you. I’m not cheating on my boyfriend.”
Ilya hooked his lip between his teeth, looking Shane up and down like a predator. “...Okay. Let me have your number.”
~~
Shane never meant to get caught up in this situation. Ilya Rozanov was a damn asshole. He was just also really, really hot.

Summary
Sometimes life came at you with a clenched fist and Ilya had never figured out how to duck.
So here he was, twenty-eight years old, single, dealing with the fallout from injuries given to him by the game he loved, and the second youngest assistant coach in the league to one of the worst teams. Stability was hard to come by, but he was managing.
Then along came Shane Hollander to knock him on his ass, one more time.

frequently, secretly fond of each other. by milominderbinder
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid

Summary
Shrugging one shoulder far more casually than he possibly feels, Ilya says, “I like both. Is secret, okay?”
“Okay,” Hollander says, voice cracking.
He doesn’t say anything else. The air’s so heavy around them that it feels like being in the middle of a scrum, the weight and heat of all those bodies pressing down on you. Danger always feels like hockey; it’s the most dangerous thing Ilya knows, except for this. Everything dangerous in his life involves men’s bodies and just how close he can get to them. Closer than he probably should.
Nobody knows why Shane Hollander dropped out of the 2009 draft at the last second, and a year later it stuns the whole hockey world when he's signed by the Boston Raiders. Having the two biggest stars in the league on the same line is great for Boston - but playing alongside their worst rival was never exactly in Shane or Ilya's plans. Especially not when staying away from each other starts to feel just as impossible as getting along.

Summary
Shane and Ilya had mutually agreed to keep their whatever-they’re-doing out of Sochi. It was an easy decision to make: this was bigger than any MLH rivalry and definitely bigger than a few hotel hook-ups. There was no room for distractions, not with Olympic gold on the line.
So it’d be really fucking great if their daemons could get on the same page and stop trying to cause an international fucking incident.

Summary
He watches Hollander’s eyes track over the laundry detergent sitting on a shelf, the amount in the hamper and back to the machine, and it’s as obvious as if he’s got a little thought bubble actually hovering above his head— “you want to start a load of laundry,” he says, snickering a little.
“It’s just— we’re on the road again in two days, and all my normal stuff is dirty,” Shane says, reaching for the hamper and sifting through to grab only the lighter colors.
“Okay,” Ilya says. He’s still hard, and he presses a hand to the bulge under his pants, ostentatious, a blatant display as Hollander turns to look at him. “You do your household chore in middle of sexy hookup. I will go get naked and lie in your bed, and if you can tear yourself away, maybe you get there in time for me to get inside you before I come.”
Hollander’s eyes darken, flickering down to Ilya’s hand pressed against his groin. “Uh. Give me like. Thirty seconds. A minute.”
And, indeed, it can’t be longer than a minute later that Hollander is naked and climbing on top of Ilya on the bed, the low rumble of the washing machine providing a soundtrack to their embrace.

Odd-Man Rush by taywrites11

Summary
Odd-Man Rush: The situation that occurs when a team enters the attacking zone and outnumbers the opposing players in the zone.
Or,
Shane doesn’t know why he still feels so off-kilter. He should be the happiest he’s ever been—he won the Cup, he feels like he’s maybe starting to have a few friends on his team, and he’s finally starting to believe his parents when they tell him he won’t get traded again. He should be on top of the world, but sometimes he still feels like the lone defender on an odd-man rush, skating as fast as he can to prevent what feels like an inevitable outcome.
The problem is that he’s not quite sure which outcome it is that he’s trying to stop.

Summary
“Should call you the Ottawa Puppies,” says the Toronto centre, Svensson. As an insult it makes no sense, so Ilya ignores it, until he continues, “Hear Hollander keeps you on a short leash.”
Ilya is the captain, so if anything, he should be holding the leash. In English, you can be singular or plural, but he knows what Svensson is trying to say. He is saying Ilya Rozanov, you are Hollander’s bitch.
“Only sometimes,” Ilya replies, grinning. He wins the face off.
OR: Ilya trains himself to be a very, very good guard dog for Shane.

fresh bruises we learned patterns to by downtheroadandupthehill
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid

Summary
The first time they’d done this, in Ilya’s bed, Shane had been mystified at Rozanov’s insistence that he not enter the nest without Shane’s permission. Now, Shane feels something akin to smugness flexing its claws in his chest. A primal satisfaction at the rightness that he is the one with the power - at present, if not for much longer - alpha just outside the nest and at his mercy.
Like Shane will only yield for someone who has earned it. He can draw out Ilya’s suffering just a little longer, make him earn it.
Shane rakes his gaze over the delicious chest and bicep muscles bunching above the edge of the nest. “Waiting for something, Rozanov?”
“Are you going to let me into your nest, omega?” His pronunciation of the endearment is more Russian than English, accent thickening around the syllables.
“Depends. You gonna give me your knot?”
“Hm, does not sound like begging yet to me.”
Some months after Shane recovers from rejection sickness in Ilya's bed, they share their heat/rut together at the cottage, both clinging to the delusion it's still casual.

Summary
“I want to be the next Rupert Campbell-Black,” Taggie said, quiet but unflinching, blue eyes fixed on him like a challenge.
Rupert’s smile was slow, razor–thin. “Be careful with that, sweetheart. You don’t know what it takes to build a monster.”
or: what happens when the bored, sharp-edged golden boy of British showjumping finds a copper-haired teenager riding in his woods and decides to make her his star pupil—only to end up far too invested, far too entangled, and absolutely nowhere near professional boundaries.

I'd Have to Think About It by Imaginelndn
Fandoms: Rivals (TV 2024), Rutshire Chronicles - Jilly Cooper
19 Jul 2025
Tags
Summary
"Four months and six days.
That’s how long it had been since Agatha O’Hara had spoken to Rupert Campbell-Black after that damned kiss.
Four months, six days, and about twenty minutes. Taggie couldn’t read for shit, but she certainly had a knack for measurements."
In the wake of the silence that followed their kiss in the priory kitchen, Taggie moves on with her life- or at least, she tries to. She dates Seb, caters parties, picks up after Declan, and tells herself she and Rupert are perfectly capable of being just friends.
But letting go of the past is never as simple as it seems.
_Title from "I'd Have to Think About It":
"And if you come to me
When I've promised to commit
If you told me that you loved me
And asked me for a kiss
Well, I'd at least have to think about it"Bookmarked by Lifebeyond

Modern Dating by Imaginelndn
Fandoms: Rivals (TV 2024), Rutshire Chronicles - Jilly Cooper
04 Mar 2026
Tags
Summary
Between a rift with her family, her burgeoning culinary career, and the counseling sessions that she swears do nothing for her anxiety, Taggie O'Hara's life is kind of a mess- dating history included.
So, she does what every other twenty-year-old on the London dating scene does, and swipes.
But of all the people Taggie O'Hara expects to meet on the apps, her father's long-time rival and ex-MP Rupert Campbell Black is not one of them.
And sure, maybe her love life was about as successful as England had been in every World Cup since 1966- but a thirty-eight-year-old playboy who's Wikipedia included more extramarital affairs than political victories was not the solution.
Right?

make bonfires of the laws by ginvael for AmazingAngie

Summary
Taggie O'Hara was delighted to marry Marcus Campbell-Black - he was kind, caring, respectful, and not at all like his rake of a father.
She was way less delighted not to get pregnant months into her marriage - the sentiment her father-in-law, desperate for an heir, shared wholeheartedly.
It turned out that the fault was never with her and that her marriage to Marcus had been doomed from the start, but Rupert did not mind showing his precious daughter-in-law what she had been missing and fulfilling her deepest wishes.

Summary
Taggie had long since decided she was in this for the long run, and she was sure that meant they would each have to give the other a hand from time to time. It could not always be that Rupert was up while she was down. It was time to return the favour.
Or, a Season Two fic that started life as "Five times Rupert saved Taggie and One time she saved them both". Picks up a month and a bit after 1x08.

Summary
Rupert doesn't grope her in the dining room. When he touches her for the first time that night, they're somewhere a little more private...
She's in the palm of his hand but it's eyes she can't look away from. Ravenous, greedy and delighted, even slightly pitying. As if it's perfectly understandable for her to be here, like this, in this state. As if it wasn't a surprise truly to find her here in the pantry after the pavlova course with her hand up her own skirt.

In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost
And what you had
And what you lost”A slow burn imagining of Rivals season two with Taggie O'Hara at the centre (and of course a healthy amount of Rupert Campbell-Black).
