I'm Reading Your Lips (You're Speaking My Language) by some1_around
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
22 Dec 2025

Summary
Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”
“Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.
“No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”
“Go fuck yourself.”
+++
Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.
And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?

Summary
"You will bend for me many times, I think, before this production is over."
Shane means to say no. He means to tell Ilya Rozanov—arrogant Bolshoi principal dancer and professional pain in his ass—to fuck off and stop moving set pieces without permission. Instead, he ends up on his knees in a dressing room, which is definitely not how the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s stage manager is supposed to handle conflict resolution.
Three weeks until opening night. One impossible rivalry. And absolutely no way this ends well.
or: Ilya comes to Winnipeg for The Nutcracker. Shane tries very hard to hate him. The mind-blowing hate-sex doesn’t help.

Summary
“Say something.” Ilya asks “in Russian. For me.”
Then softly, carefully, he does. “Я всё ещё скучный.“ I’m still boring. He tried to add humour to it. But he doesn’t know if it reached.
Still, Ilya's breath catches.“Oh.” He says like he’s just been handed something precious. “You’re perfect.”
Or, Shane had been learning Russian the whole time.

Summary
When John “Soap” MacTavish leaves the city behind for a neglected farm he inherited from his late grandfather in Pelican Town, he expects soil, sweat, and a quiet life. What he doesn’t expect is to meet Simon “Ghost” Riley, a gruff, masked recluse living in the mountains. Between tending to his animals, the changing seasons, and dangerous dives into the mines, Soap’s path keeps crossing with Ghost’s. Soap came to the valley to start over, but he never imagined Ghost would be the one to take root in his heart.

Summary
“Ghost?”
“Soap.” Ghost’s voice was a low buzz, gravelly with static. In the absolute silence of the snow-covered forest, it sounded both deafeningly loud and intimately quiet.
“What’s your favourite season?” Soap asked.

Summary
Racetrack Higgins always thought it would be his own vices that got him into trouble one day; it turns out his Ma does it for him. When Ma Higgins crosses the local drug lord and leaves him high and dry with a target on his back, Race is saved by a mysterious stranger who gives him a safe place to hide—a short-tempered and anti-social stranger covered in horrifying scars, with a past as dark as the marks on his body. However, the longer Race spends in the Brooklyn house, the more he discovers about the boy beneath the scars: a boy who is just as trapped as Race and twice as damaged.
Befriending the two men who live in as hired help, and chipping away at the mysterious "boss" and his walls, Race might even find a place to call home.
*Beauty & the Beast/Beastly AU fusion*

Summary
The biggest lies are usually the ones we tell ourselves, and Steve has been telling lots of lies, especially lately. That in spite of how he can’t stop chewing his fingernails bloody, the never ending nightmares chasing him out of bed, and the way merely seeing ice sends him into a panic, he’s fine.
But when his latest mission with The Avengers goes horribly wrong, Steve can no longer keep lying, not even to himself.
Diagnosed with PTSD and placed on medical leave, initially Steve is resentful, stubbornly refusing the idea there’s anything that can make it better. Until Sam suggests a Service Dog, and introduces him to James Buchanan Barnes, a fellow vet and trainer who swears one of his dogs can help, if only Steve can summon enough bravery to take a leap of faith and accept a four-legged companion in his life.
What follows is a long and winding journey of fear, doubt and self-recrimination. But also hope, acceptance and redefining what it means to be a hero, as Steve finally faces the issues that have been haunting him his entire life.
There is also a lot of fur, conversations with dogs, and a cross-country road trip, as Steve rebuilds his life and maybe, just maybe, falls in love along the way.

Summary
"Now, it's not as if Davey has a crush. They've never even met. Jack has no idea who he is. Davey follows him on Instagram, but so do hundreds of thousands of other people, because Jack is talented, charismatic beyond belief, and one of the top contenders to bring home a gold medal for America this year. They don't actually know each other at all... but Davey supposes he could be considered a bit of a fan."

Summary
Becoming a pets as therapy volunteer was one of the most worthwhile things Gale has ever done. His weekly visits to the local hospital's inpatient unit are truly worthwhile. Just watching Tara gently purr down defences, help in ways humans can't is a balm to his still healing soul. Thankfully Tara is also more stubborn than is probably sensible when she encounters a closed door. Needless to say, the door to the darkened room doesn't stay closed for long.

Summary
Geralt has taken potions to suppress his sex drive since he was a child. (In this AU, they require witchers to do this. Just come with me on this.)
However, one day, he gets the wrong potion and is suddenly, desperately, painfully aroused for the first time. Jaskier can help with that. It also provides a moment under the stars where they can confess their true feelings.
It is yearning and soft and if I did my job well, achingly tender.
