The Distance Between Us by Bruja_oscura
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
30 Mar 2026

Summary
Ilya Rozanov has spent ten years circling Shane Hollander. Ten years of hotel rooms and secret phone calls. Ten years of pretending he doesn't feel it, doesn't need it, doesn't wake up reaching for someone who's already gone. Ten years convincing himself he's not good enough. That he's not worth it.
Then a plane needs to make an emergency landing near Montreal, and Yuna Hollander is on it.
So when Shane calls him from a bathroom floor, unable to breathe, Ilya stops pretending.
After five hundred miles of frozen highway, three and a half hours of driving like a man possessed, a hospital waiting room full of people who have every reason to hate him, and a boy who looks at him like he's something worth keeping, Ilya may have learned a thing or two about what it means to be loved—and to let himself love freely.

Something There (Sweet And Unrefined) by RayShippouUchiha

Summary
“I really am sorry I scared you,” Izuku murmurs as he bends down to carefully scoop the boy out of the snow.
He shifts his cargo carefully, adjusting his hold on the boy so that his head is supported and his face is shielded from the snowfall against the thick, deep green fur that covers Izuku’s body.
“Just hold on,” Izuku says as he turns into the snowfall to begin the long trek back home. “I’ll keep you safe, I promise.”
And maybe, just maybe, if Izuku does a good enough job this one will stay long enough to realize that just because Izuku looks like a beast now, he’s still human in all of the ways that matter.

Summary
and there are some like us,
just walking, making our feet move ahead of us,
a little bored, a little lost, a little angry,
walking as though we were really going somewhere,
walking as if there was something to see at Adelaide or maybe on King,
something that will give a fair return for this use of shoe-leather,
something that will make us smile with a strange new
happiness, a lost but recovered joy.- Raymond Souster, “Yonge Street Saturday Night”

Summary
When Shane pulls away, he swallows audibly and the breath catches in his throat when he says, “There’s something you should know, too. Um, before.”
Ilya traces a thumb over his lips, pouts his own to show he’s listening. “Hm?”
“I’m a man,” Shane says, carefully.
Ilya scoffs. “Obviously. I’m not—”
“No, no, I mean—I’m a man. You need to remember that. Because—”
“Oh,” Ilya murmurs. He brings his other hand up, settles it in the curve of Shane’s neck. “I understand."A hockey player and the most beautiful man he's ever seen walk into a bar.

Summary
“Do any of you need a ride?”
The remaining freshmen shake their heads. And Lucas pipes up. “Dustin’s brother is getting us.”
“Ok. Cool.”
Upon opening the doors, all three kids race out to the parking lot, full sprinting to a car with a figure leaning against it. When Eddie reaches the gravel lot, he nearly keels over in shock. Reclined on his trademark maroon beamer is none other than Steve Harrington.
--*****--
Eddie Munson, in his determination to make 1986 his year, gets tangled up in Hawkins' local trauma-bonded family. It's not all bad though.
--*****--
I'm bad at summaries, just read it. It's so fun I promise.

Summary
Hayden Pike and his group chat of coworkers are pretty sure their new manager Shane has a parasocial obsession with a professional hockey player.
He talks about him constantly, knows everything about him, watches every game, and even has candid photos of him that are definitely not available through conventional sources. So naturally, they decide to intervene to find him a man who actually knows he exists.
Shane, for his part, has no idea what they're talking about.

Summary
Scott can’t stand Ilya Rozanov. Sure, Rozanov is a generational wunderkind, but he’s also annoying as hell and always ready with a chirp.
“Do you have a spot in the nursing home yet, Hunter? I am hearing from my grandma they go fast!”
“Are you getting tired? It must be past your bedtime already!”
“What kind of skating is that? Is your arthritis acting up again?”
Scott’s age is Rozanov’s favorite topic, but now that Scott has come out, he shudders to think about what Rozanov will throw at him this season.
Or, 5 times Rozanov makes fun of Scott for being old, and 1 time he makes fun of Scott for being gay.

Summary
Ilya tsks. “Yes, I give a shit about Marleau. If it was anywhere else… I wouldn’t be able to call and threaten his new captain. But it’s you.”
Shane breathes that in. There’s something complex in that sentence that he can’t even begin to unpack. But it’s you.
“I’ll take care of him, Rozanov. You have my word. I look out for my team.”
Ilya sighs softly. “I know you do, Hollander.” His voice is different now. The jig is up. He hesitates but forces the words out of his mouth. “I’m glad it’s you.”aka
Cliff Marleau gets traded to Montreal and suddenly Shane's teammates with Ilya's best friend. Right as they adjust to the new dynamics, Ilya gets traded too. Shane and Ilya decide to see what it would've been like to flirt and fall in love in front of their team, in front of their friends.

The Queerest Team in the NHL by cjr2
Fandoms: Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid, Heated Rivalry (TV)
31 Jan 2026
Tags
Summary
“Man, are we the gayest team in the NHL or what?” Tanner Dillon joked.
“Ilya is bisexual,” Wyatt Hayes reminded him. Ilya raised his beer at Wyatt in thanks.
“The queerest team in the NHL,” Dillon corrected with barely a beat.
“We must be,” Shane said slowly, expression scrunched up as he seemed to seriously ponder the question. “There might be some teams with a closeted player, or maybe two, but five? Statistically speaking, that’s highly improbable.”
or
Luca Haas comes out to the team. Thank goodness queer sherpas Ilya, Shane, and Troy are there to guide him. And the Centaurs are supportive, obviously. Maybe too supportive.

Summary
“And you’re sure there’s nothing for you?” David says suddenly. “You’re not—you’re feeling okay? You’re not sick? Shane wouldn’t have any reason to think that you’re sick?”
Ilya blinks and turns to him. “I am fine. Totally fine. Better than fine, even, before today.”
“It’s just—Shane’s acting like you’re dying, Ilya.”
“Not as far as I’m aware,” says Ilya. “And I do not think he would learn this before me.”

The summer before Ilya joins the Centaurs, Shane wakes up nervous. It doesn't stop from there.

Summary
“Did, uh,” Frankie starts. She sounds faint. “Did you just say your boyfriend?”
Ilya’s stomach drops. Oh. Oh, fuck.
He doesn’t know what his face does. There will probably be pictures of this moment all over the internet by tomorrow morning. He doubts it’s flattering, considering there’s a non-zero chance he’s going to throw up all over the microphone.
Ilya scrambles. Too tired, too shocked at his own brain’s betrayal to know how to fix this. “Blyat,” he spits. Then he laughs, and even he can hear that it sounds more wild than genuine. “English language is hard, yes? I meant my boys, my boys who are my friends. The Centaurs, yes? They are all my boy friends.”
OR
Ilya Rozanov has a no-good, very bad two days and accidentally outs himself. He's not having a great time.

Summary
Ever since Shane Hollander joined the Centaurs, the team has noticed a difference in their captain.
Rozy has always been an affectionate, hands-on guy who loves to rile people up. But with Hollander, he’s the worst they’ve ever seen. Always touching him, making suggestive comments.
Pointy’s mom works in Human Resources, and he’s pretty sure this is a case of workplace bullying. Hazy thinks Ilya has a crush and can’t take a hint. Bood just wants his team to get back to normal.
Or, in an AU where Hollanov never gets outed, 5 times a Centaur tries to shut down Ilya’s flirting and 1 time a Centaur lets it happen.

Summary
“Okay, Buckley, you’re laughing a little too hard at that,” Eddie says, sounding offended. “You don’t think I’d be a good boyfriend?”
“I didn’t say -” Buck tries to defend himself, but Eddie barrels right through it.
“You saying I wouldn’t treat you right?” Eddie stands and puts his hands on his hips, because apparently it’s that serious. “Let me tell you something, Buck, I’d blow your mind.”
When Buck jokingly says he wouldn't date Eddie, Eddie sets out to prove he'd be an amazing boyfriend. Platonically, of course, because they're just best friends. And nothing more.
or, Buck and Eddie are both deeply in love and deeply stupid
