still the best (still an asshole) by pucksandpower
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
21 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
Four times Ilya Rozanov reminded everyone exactly who the fuck they were dealing with (spoiler: still an asshole, still elite, still not going anywhere), and one time he didn’t have to be anything except soft.
Or being out didn’t make him nicer. Being married didn’t make him softer. Being older didn’t make him weaker. And being a father? Well. That’t when things get complicated.
(He’s really good at that last part. Don’t tell anyone.)

Summary
“Still not graduated, Harrington?”
It’s something Eddie would have said teasingly when they were teens. Steve would have smacked him on the shoulder, affectionately calling him an asshole before being pulled into an apologetic kiss. But they are not teenagers anymore and Eddie’s voice lacks any of the warmth that used to be reserved for Steve. Now, it’s just loaded with resentment, which, yeah, is a fair reaction.
“I…eh…work here now,” Steve says lamely and points at his office door. “Guidance counselor.”
or: 14 years after his first big heartbreak, Steve's life is relatively stable. It's been two years since the tragic incident that led to him becoming Dustin's guardian, both of them slowly healing. He is doing amazing at his job and his social life is great. Of course, that's when a person from Steve's past has to come and shake everything up.Series

Softness, Steve Harrington, and Other Unattainable Things by fayfayfay

Summary
Male omegas are rare, both honored and objectified for their fertility and hermaphroditism. When Steve Harrington takes a few days off and emerges as a fully fledged male omega, students and teachers alike are surprised he hasn’t been secreted away to a convent or boarding school specifically for his kind. No one knows what to think of him... except for Eddie Munson.
Years later, Eddie has channeled his creative energy - as well as his heartbreak at Steve's sudden disappearance - into a dozen best selling novels. All the while, his literary agent, Robin, has kept hopeful eyes on the government registry of available omegas. One day, the notice springs from the ether: née Harrington, Steven.

Summary
It’s over. It’s really over, and Henry doesn’t even think he’s worth a break-up text. Yet here Alex is sobbing on his bedroom floor, his face buried in a silk kimono with HOE DAMERON embroidered across the back.
What was it his dad had said to him in Texas, right before everything went to shit?
Sometimes you just jump and hope it’s not a cliff.
Well. Alex had jumped. He’d thrown himself head-first over the precipice, and discovered that it was, in fact, a cliff. A fucking big cliff, with big fucking rocks at the bottom.

Alex never finds Henry's note; he never goes to Kensington. Mutual heartbreak and pining ensues.Another 'what-if they-never-got back-together-after-Texas- fic.

Since I Memorized Your Face by chamel for stutteringpeach

Summary
“Oxford, like twenty years ago—” Twenty-one, actually. “I was there for a term abroad. We had a class together.” Alex huffs a disbelieving laugh and pushes a hand back through his curls. “We, uh, well. There was that party after final exams…”
“I’m so sorry, I don’t recall that one” Henry lies, flashing an apologetic smile. “I don’t remember the details of most of those uni parties these days.”
(Twenty years ago, Henry met—and let go of—his soulmate. Now he's in his 40s, with a new job in a new city, and certainly not expecting said soulmate to come barreling into his life again. A small white lie seems like the simplest way to keep things from getting awkward, but real life has a way of getting complicated.)

hate to be lame (but I might love you) by anincompletelist (soldouthaz)

Summary
He can’t stop thinking about the fucking ankle. About what it represents. The sensuality of the muscles and tendons underneath the flesh, begging for the press of his fingerprints, the indention of his teeth, those same ankles crossed and pressed into Alex’s lower back, the sweet symphony of two bodies finding solace and pleasure in one another even if only until morning light breaks through the curtains.
He wants to get fucked, basically.
+
newly out as bi, alex decides the best way to commemorate the occasion is to sleep with the most well-endowed guy on campus. henry thinks he might be insane, and isn't quite sure what that says about him for being the one to catch feelings when this whole thing was just supposed to be practice in the first place. it all works out. eventually.

Señor Harrington's Guide to a Humble Life by fayfayfay

Summary
Steve may be a male omega; he may have been divorced at twenty-five, with nothing to show for his years but most of a sociology degree with a minor in sports broadcasting, of all things, but at least he’s bilingual—and well connected—which is how he finds himself replacing Mrs. Fisher as the shiny new Spanish teacher of Hawkins High School.
Frankly, he thinks everything would've been fine if Eddie Munson hadn't shown up. At least he gets to plan the class trip. Europe, here come the Wildcats.

Summary
Between undergrad, now law school, and life in general, Alex hasn’t had time for a heat. Or for any intimate contact, really.
At all. Ever.
So, when his doctor orders him to stop taking his suppressants and have a real heat for the first time since he first presented as an omega, he turns to desperate measures.
A heat clinic.
If only there were some single, handsome, obnoxiously British alpha who was somehow Alex’s perfect biological match available to help him through his heat.

The Consequences (of our Actions) by AnchoredArchangel
Fandom: Red White & Royal Blue (2023), Red White & Royal Blue - Casey McQuiston
07 Dec 2025
Summary
It starts, like so many things in Alex’s life, with a list.
A list, a prince, an NDA, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and a night better than any of the fantasies that preceded it. No consequences. That was the whole point.
Except, like so many things in Alex’s life, it isn’t that simple.
Illicit rendezvous, heartfelt phone calls, transatlantic flights, nights that change them… and a morning that changes everything.
And that’s just how it starts.

Summary
"Just, you know," Henry says. "If your mum weren't the president and you were just a normal bloke living a normal life, what things might be like? What you'd be doing instead?"
After being discovered on Instagram as a teenager, Alex Diaz is thriving as a social media influencer and model who just landed a high profile, high fashion contract with Calvin Klein. Alex can get any girl he wants, and he’s loving it. Meanwhile, British poet Henry Fox has just arrived in L.A. to kick off a North American tour promoting his new, steamy book of gay erotic poetry, and he’s attracting a lot of attention.
Bad blood is immediately sparked between them when Henry blows Alex off at their first meeting. Several tabloid rumors and an Instagram tantrum later, Alex and Henry are reluctantly thrust together to make nice, resulting in a grudging friendship and a magnetism between them that Alex can't explain. Why is Henry's poetry making Alex feel like this? And just what is it about Henry Fox that gets to him so much? -

Summary

The location—fortunately for business, but unfortunately for Henry’s sanity—is directly across the street from a fire station. The sound of sirens is bad, Alex the gorgeous firefighter is worse. But when Alex helps Henry avoid a near catastrophe the night of the bar’s opening, the two form a tentative friendship that starts to develop into something more.

Summary
Agent Henry Fox-Mountchristen is an asshole.
Alex is 90% sure those exact words are going in this mission report. Yeah, they’re supposed to be objective when writing this shit up, but that isn’t his opinion. It’s a fact.
(CIA agent Alex Claremont-Diaz and MI6 agent Henry Fox-Mountchristen don’t exactly get along, but that doesn’t keep their respective agencies from insisting they work together as partners. Then a mission in Colombia changes everything, and their relationship begins to shift and grow into something that neither of them ever expected… and something that could have deadly consequences.)

Summary
“The queen wants to show that the Prince and the First Son are still deeply in love and committed to their countries.” Ellen swallows. “They want you to go on a tour of the Commonwealth together, to get the public to see those emails not as a sex scandal, but an invasion of privacy of a wholesome, loving relationship.”
“It was an invasion of privacy,” Alex says. He swallows. “Did they say what would happen if we say no?”
Ellen’s lips pinch tightly at the corners. “Then they will issue a full denial and Henry will tour the commonwealth himself.”
Alex doesn't hesitate. “Tell them we’ll do it. I’m not gonna let him do this alone."
It would kill him. Henry hates this shit. The public parading, the judgment. Having to do all of that, and deny who he is? Alex at least wants to be there, to hold his hand through it. Even if it's just as a friend.
It might kill Alex to pretend, but that’s a small price to pay to ensure Henry—his beautiful, vibrant, funny-as-hell, brilliant ex-not-quite-boyfriend—isn’t killed instead.
