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
Netflix’s newest miniseries Heated Rivalry was sure to be a hit, with sky-high production value, an A-list director, and fans that were beyond passionate about it. This show, in short, was going to be a big fucking deal. And so were the two actors slated for the leading roles.
Shane knew he had to do this the second he got his hands on the script. The only problem was his costar.
A meta AU in which Shane Hollander, Canada's golden boy child star, gets cast opposite Ilya Rozanov, Russia's heartthrob acting phenom, in a love story.
