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
The blood of the dragon runs thick, but loyalty must be forged in steel. When the court whispers of a male heir, Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen chooses a weapon sharper than any blade: the immutable laws of protocol. With the King's indulgent blessing, she turns the Red Keep into a classroom where respect for the heir is not requested—it is demanded.

Summary
Basrar swirls his hands in front of him, and with a burst of magic an ice cream sundae appears on the table.
“Fantastic,” Ayda says. “The creation of something from nothing. A truly splendid use of conjuration. I would deeply enjoy discussing the differences between the conjuration magic of djinn and the conjuration magic of wizards, but I won’t have this conversation now, because it wouldn't be as enjoyable as eating ice cream with Fig. On this date. We’re on a date. It's our first date, I’m very excited about it.”
“She’s my succubus,” Fig says. “Can we get spoons?”

That was my heart, the drums that start off night and day by grasslandgirl for astuary

Summary
The album was finally starting to come together. She’d emailed a few lyric pages and some rough melody recordings to Gorgug and Riz with a positive response; but she couldn’t stop thinking about one of Gorgug’s passing comments.
They're nice, he’d told her a few nights ago on the phone, gentler than you usually write. Sweeter. Like you’re singing to someone specific again.
Fig loved Gorgug, he was her best friend, but it was kind of terrifying how perceptive he could be at times, how he could see down to the very heart of her without even trying.
Like you’re singing to someone specific again. Fuck.Bookmarked by ebethjanna

lexi goes to see fez following the events of the new years party

Summary
“The truth was, he’d been happy to see her. Since meeting Lexi on New Years, he’d thought about her a lot—how smart she was, how nice her voice sounded, how pretty her smile was, especially when it was there because of something he’d said. Fezco had had his fair share of hookups, but he had very little experience with girls like Lexi Howard. She was smart, and brave, and sensitive, and he wanted to get to know her more.
Now, her thinking he was sleeping with Faye, a cracked-out idiot with lip fillers, was not ideal.”
.
Or, Fezco falls in love.

Summary
What if, when Petunia Dursley found a little boy on her front doorstep, she took him in? Not into the cupboard under the stairs, not into a twisted childhood of tarnished worth and neglect—what if she took him in?
Petunia was jealous, selfish and vicious. We will not pretend she wasn’t. She looked at that boy on her doorstep and thought about her Dudders, barely a month older than this boy. She looked at his eyes and her stomach turned over and over. (Severus Snape saved Harry’s life for his eyes. Let’s have Petunia save it despite them).
Let’s tell a story where Petunia Dursley found a baby boy on her doorstep and hated his eyes—she hated them. She took him in and fed him and changed him and got him his shots, and she hated his eyes up until the day she looked at the boy and saw her nephew, not her sister’s shadow. When Harry was two and Vernon Dursley bought Dudley a toy car and Harry a fast food meal with a toy with parts he could choke on Petunia packed her things and got a divorce.
