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

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.

Summary
Alphas and omegas can never just be friends. At least, that’s what the media keeps saying. They need to be something: rivals, lovers, etc.
Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, the press says, have a lot in common: both are top picks for their draft year and both are hockey superstars. Yet the press also says they couldn’t be more different, pitting the two players against each other from the start, as representatives of their classifications, alpha vs. omega.
~~~
Or a heated rivalry and a/b/o fic inspired by the idea often brought up in When Harry Met Sally, specifically the conversation of can men and women truly be friends?Bookmarked by avid_world

Summary
“Y-Yeah, totally,” Shane replied. “D-Do you uh– do you know who that kid with Rozanov is?”
Scott laughed a little, tilting his head in confusion.
“Probably Rozanov’s kid,” he informed Shane, causing his brain to stall completely.
“You didn’t hear?” Scott asked, and Shane blinked, trying to reboot his mind from the crash that Scott had just caused. “It’s why he took time off,” Hunter informed him. “Found out he had a kid, I guess. Or something like that, I didn’t really get the details.”
Of all the reasons he’d thought of for Ilya disappearing for the past month, this had never crossed his mind. A million different thoughts raced through Shane’s mind. How the hell was Ilya a dad, and why hadn’t he told Shane and how the fuck did Scott Hunter of all people find out before him and—
And what the fuck was Shane supposed to do now?
_______________________________________________________________
After the tuna melt situation, Ilya suddenly disappears from hockey for six weeks, claiming some sort of family emergency. Shane showed up to the All-Star game ready to try and fix things, only to be shocked to find a little girl at Ilya's side with remarkably familiar blue eyes.

Summary
Rose convinces Shane to go clubbing with her again. Someone spikes their drinks. Ilya is not having it.
-
It was supposed to be mindless fun. If Rose didn’t take Shane out for his birthday, he would spend the whole weekend moping that his secret boyfriend was playing against Dallas instead of engaging in whatever illicit activities the two got up to in their spare time. Rose did not account for the sadistic fucker of the week deciding they would make ideal targets. Of course, with Shane high out of his mind and her own judgement hanging on by a thread, the only one she can think to call is Ilya.

Summary
In the 2020 Formula 1 season, Amara Velasquez finally arrives on the grid after years of relentless climbing through the junior ranks, stepping into Mercedes with the burden of expectation on her shoulders and a past she can’t outrun. But the paddock doesn’t feel like a fresh start, it feels like a collision course. Because Charles Leclerc is already there. Once her closest friend, now her fiercest rival, he meets her return with tension, unfinished history, and wheel-to-wheel moments that keep ending in contact, controversy, and heated radio messages. Every race becomes a reminder that some connections don’t fade, they fracture under pressure and speed.
Or
In which Charles Leclerc becomes the constant she can’t escape, Max Verstappen becomes the variable she never planned for, and Amara Velasquez keeps choosing speed over safety, in every sense of the word.

Summary
In the high-pressure world of Formula 1, Red Bull is falling apart. Half the team has quit, morale is shattered, and reigning champion Max Verstappen is losing more than races—he’s losing himself. Cold, volatile, and exhausted, Max has no patience for anyone… least of all a new Personal Assistant.
Enter Emilia “Emmy” Jones, a redhead who radiates sunshine wherever she goes. She’s everything Max despises—optimistic, talkative, and insufferably cheerful. To Max, she’s a storm he didn’t see coming, and no amount of biting sarcasm or coldness can drive her away. Emmy is determined to do her job, even if it means braving the tempest that is Max Verstappen.
But beneath her bright smiles and playful energy, she’s hiding her own storm. She’s not the unshakable beam of positivity she seems—she’s a force of nature battling scars of her own. And while Max can’t stand her constant happiness at first, it doesn’t take long for him to see that Emmy isn’t just sunshine.
She’s a hurricane—wild, fierce, and unpredictable. And she might just be what Red Bull, and Max, need to survive. Because sometimes, it’s the storms that reshape everything.

Summary
After eight years on the metaphorical run, Arafa Atreides appears to be at the end of her rope. She's lost her family, her power and her freedom to an alliance between an emperor who believes in nothing and her family's oldest enemy.
Feyd-Rautha, on the other hand, is finally in possession of the one thing he ever had to work hard for: not the title of baron that belongs to him now (killing isn't work), not Arrakis (he loves going to war), but the woman he had been chasing for years, from one world to the next, through countless evasive manoeuvres.
Yet, the emperor’s boot is heavy on both of their necks. His destruction of House Atreides remains incomplete; his control over isolated House Harkonnen has been a thorn in Feyd-Rautha’s side for as long as he can remember.
And slowly, Shaddam Corrino IV begins to understand that he might have created common ground instead of scorched earth.

What to do When Your Bosses Adopt You Into Their Vampire Coven (not clickbait) by biscuitbirds
Fandoms: The Pitt (TV)
01 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
It was typical of hospitals to staff their emergency rooms with vampires. Of course, this wasn’t common knowledge. Humans were prone to discrimination and fear on the best of days, so informing them that their hospital staff was a blood-sucking monster was bound to cause a dent in patient satisfaction.
---
"I think Abbot and Robby were co-turned. It would explain their whole thing.” Santos waved her hand in the air.
“Their whole thing?”
“Yeah. Didn’t you see them before Abbot left this morning? Bickering like a married couple.” She typed out another few phrases, then hit the enter key with a flourish. “Why, you aiming for the Robby-Abbot coven?”
Dennis paused for a beat. He didn’t know either of them, not really. If he was turned, he would prefer it be later down the road. “Are you a vampire?”
Santos didn’t reply, and he looked up at her warily. She wiggled her eyebrows at him. “Wouldn’t you like to know?”

Summary
Jayce Talis was young when he met Viktor at the river. It definitely wasn't something his mother approved of either, her omega son regularly talking alone with a random alpha of the undercity. There friendship felt so short-lived when he was banned from going to the river where they met. But even after years of studying magic and the Arcane, Jayce would never forget the voice of the alpha he met. But it's a lot harder to bond with him once they're both older and Viktor is so focused on Jayce's findings instead of Jayce's kind of obvious crush on him.
or
Viktor and Jayce alpha/omega childhood friends AU where Viktor is oblivious. He just needs a little push though, he's just never entertained the thought of Jayce liking him at all. And we deserve Jayce being the princess that he is and I need some happiness in my life.

Summary
Briar Baggins was a disappointment to those in the Shire who once expected that she would become someone exceptional. She was difficult to coax from her study, often withdrawing into books about lands far beyond their green, rolling hills.
It came as a surprise when Briar accepted an invitation from her cousin to visit Bucklebury, and returned some time later with a baby in her arms. A baby that malicious gossips insisted had been seen wearing tiny socks, of all things!
No doubt things would settle down again after that bit of excitement.
A proper gentlehobbit would not chase after adventure well into her middle age, after all.
