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
“I had heard that Qui Gon claimed young Skywalker to be the Chosen One, but your bond is incontrovertible proof.” Dooku continued, not bothered by Obi Wan’s silence. “It is clear to me now that Anakin Skywalker has the power to bring balance to the Force. But you, Obi Wan Kenobi, have the power to tip the scales of that balance.”

Summary
“So how’d it go with the Commander?”
Clarke lets out a long huff, falling next to him on the double bed. Bellamy looks over at her, confused by the pinched expression on her face.
“Bellamy,” Clarke says, eyes closed, fingers massaging the skin between her eyebrows. “Why does everyone think we’re married?”

Summary
“Ya fuckin’...ya piece of shit alpha.”
“Excuse me?”
“Ya put me in heat, ya fuckin’ knothead.”
In the heat of an argument, Sakusa uses a command on Atsumu, unexpectedly triggering his heat.
Over the course of their forced proximity as teammates, Sakusa has come to regard Atsumu as an aggravating and aggravatingly attractive man, whose presence constantly threatens to send him to an early grave. So when he agrees to accompany him through his heat, it’s under the guise of mere guilt and having the decency to take responsibility for his poor actions.
But in the following days of spending time with Atsumu and getting to know him beyond the pleasures of his flesh, Sakusa is helpless to deny the storm that brews inside of him. And in the eye of it is something that threatens to overwrite his entire being, something he’s never once felt in his entire life—the overpowering desire to claim and mate.

Summary
ANBU Captain Uchiha Itachi had things well planned out, until a medic-nin with ridiculous hair went and made herself interesting. Sakura insisted she was just doing her job, but Itachi didn't quite see it that way.
