Summary
After learning the truth about why he was born, Buck makes the most deliberate choice of his life: he applies to Asterbridge House, a private matchmaking service he’s been saving for since he was eighteen, because more than anything, he wants a spouse, children, and a home that lasts.
He does not expect to be matched with Tommy Kinard.
Tommy is older, steadier, richer, and far better at seeing through Buck than Buck is ready for. He listens carefully, kisses gently, and makes room for Buck exactly as he is, which would be easier to enjoy if Buck’s family didn’t think he was making a mistake. It would be easier still if Maddie wasn’t trying to fix his life for him, or if wanting something for himself didn’t feel so much like betraying everyone else’s expectations.
Somewhere between first dates, family betrayals, crossed lines, and one very bad fire, Buck has to figure out whether he can stop asking permission to want the life he actually wants — and whether Tommy might be a place to land.

Summary
Buck drops by Eddie's place to get the last of his stuff to put into storage and gets the news from Eddie that Chimney has thrown his hat into being captain for the 118 the same time as Eddie got confirmation that he's been accepted back into the 118 and can start right back up again.
"I figured this was too good to celebrate over beer so I opened the champagne that you left in the fridge."
Buck doesn't know why.
But that was the last straw for him.

Summary
What if Buck finally realized after the humiliating blowout, on how Eddie said what was wrong, how he made everything about himself and how Eddie called him exhausting throughout the years they were friends (yes, past tense) and abandoned his plans to sublet Eddie’s place. He still needed a place to live and managed to find a run-down place in North Hollywood that needed TLC.
This is a story where Buck builds back his life one step at a time and heals himself.

Summary
Shane Hollander does not leave outcomes to chance. When traditional dating fails to produce the stability he wants, he turns to a private matchmaker who promises something more deliberate: one match, one meeting, one decision.
Ilya Rozanov never planned to get married. But when his carefully controlled life starts to unravel, marriage becomes the simplest solution.
Neither of them is looking for love. What they agree to is a calculated partnership, built on alignment, not emotion.
It should be straightforward.
It is not.

Summary
Buck wraps the towel around his waist and peers through the cracked bathroom door. "Sorry, I need to grab…my…. Hi." Oh no.
"Evan. I thought—Hey."
"I asked at the desk, they don't have any double rooms left."
"Huh." Tommy sets his luggage on the far side of the bed. "I don't think I can sleep on the couch."
"I can't either, the pressure shift is twinging my leg."
"Well…it's a big bed."
Buck wants to kill him. He's doing that infuriating little flirty face.
Buck also wants to forget his leg hurts and drop to his knees right now. This man drives him fully insane.
Instead he says, "I guess we're stuck here."
The conference hotel is fully booked. Buck is sharing a bed with his ex. His ex he's still pathetically hung up on. His ex he wishes he'd tried to know better. At least he has some new friends to text about it.

Summary
Stick to your guns, Ilya thinks. Sex. With Hollander. That’s simple. Straightforward.
Except nothing about this night has been straightforward. The more time he spends with Hollander, the more he wants him - and not just the sex. He wants it all: the reading glasses, earnest ramblings, moral compulsions. The sweetness Hollander tries to hide. The way he holds back from almost everyone, even from himself, but never from Ilya.
***
or: After Vegas, Ilya knows he should end it with Hollander. He likes trouble, yes. Doesn’t mean he likes feeling scraped raw by wanting impossible things. Then they are marooned together at an airport for a very long, very strange night during which Ilya begins to suspect – shakily, reluctantly – that they might be… something.NOW COMPLETE!

Summary
“You have no idea who your parents really are, do you?” the Russian asked seriously after a few minutes passed of them staring at one another, though it was really more Shane glaring and heaving while Ilya calmly observed him with an unsure glint in his eye.
“I have no idea what I’m doing here and what you want with them. If this is some kind of stupid business dispute, I have bad news for you, asshole. I don't know about their business, I don’t even know what their business is, and I’ve never been involved in their business,” Shane seethed as slowly as he possibly could so Ilya could understand that he genuinely had no idea of what was going on. “Now will you please untie me and take me home? I don’t even care if you knock me out again, just fucking let me go!”
Ilya set the glass down to the side of him on the black leather cushion and rose from his seat, unfolding gracefully until he was towering over Shane with cool indifference. He bent slightly, leaned in close enough to Shane’s face that he could smell the vodka the Russian man had been drinking, then said easily, “I think I will keep you, actually.”

Summary
Ilya is not going to steal Shane Hollander's dog. That would be illegal. And wrong. And someone would probably find out and make Ilya give him back.
So. Not stealing.
But there is nothing wrong with giving Chernysh all the pats and treats that he deserves, is there?
Nothing wrong with encouraging Chernysh to spend more and more time at Ilya's house until he doesn't even remember who Hollander is.
Because Hollander is stupid and boring and does not deserve a dog as good as Chernysh. No, he doesn't, does he? Because Chernysh is the best boy in the whole world, yes he is.

Summary
This fic lives in the spaces Rachel Reid leaves quiet. It follows Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov from the end of Heated Rivalry through The Long Game, then imagines a future shaped by love, community, and consequence.
Chapters 1–16 focus on the four-year gap between Heated Rivalry and The Long Game. These chapters trace the long, uneven process of staying in love while being forced apart by careers, secrecy, and fear. They linger on stolen moments, missed calls, private rituals, and the emotional labor of choosing each other over and over again after committing exclusively to each other.
Chapter 17 is a deliberate rewrite of a key scene from The Long Game that I couldn’t live with as written.
Chapters 18–45 imagine what comes after The Long Game in the upcoming Unrivaled era through my thoughts. This section centers on Shane and Ilya learning how to live publicly, build a community. Luca Haas becomes a vital part of that future, not as a threat, but as proof of how love expands rather than divides. Together with their growing chosen family, they confront an antagonistic podcast, TopShelf.

Summary
"Give us a trial run at the 97," Sal says. "You'd be the most senior one there. We're the closest station to Harbor, if that's a sell. Support each other in the field as needed."
"Why are you asking me?"
"Because you're one of the best. Because you have a good reputation as a mentor. I'm not doing a favor for a friend, here. I want you on my team. I have an opening and I need someone for it. You have a tactical mind, you're a good teacher, and you're persistent."
"Favor for a friend? Are we friends?"
"We could be. Oh, and uh, our A-shift lines up with 217's, too."
"Wha—is this about Tommy?"
"This is me trying to poach you for your skills. Anything else I say is an attempt to manipulate you into doing it."
Buck gets an offer for a big change. Then his ex-boyfriend gets caught in a bad hailstorm.

Summary
Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are soulmates. They just don’t know it yet.
For ten years they have been the NHL’s most legendary rivals. They have spent a decade convinced that they are opposites, destined to collide but never to connect. But what if the universe, tired of waiting for them to take the leap, decided to intervene?
It starts with a shared dream. A blue-lit, empty arena where the noise of the fans and the weight of their reputations finally fall away. In this silent sanctuary, Shane and Ilya are stripped of their armor, and in the soft glow of a world that doesn't exist, they do the impossible: they fall in love.
But the dream world cannot protect them from the waking one. When a devastating accident on the ice leaves Shane’s career, and his life, hanging by a thread, their romance is thrust into the brutal light of reality. No longer shielded by dreams, they must navigate a world of traumatic recovery and public scandal.
Shane and Ilya must discover if the bond they forged in the stars can survive the gravity of the real world.
