Between the Calls by NotMyProudestTroupe
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid

Summary
Ilya Rozanov, a professional dom, lives in the space between. Between shifts, between countries, between versions of himself. Control is what keeps things from falling apart. Control, and distance.
Shane Hollander lives the life that might have been his. He spends his NLH career closing distance, closing gaps, moving toward things instead of away from them.
When a chance meeting at the animal shelter crosses their paths, something unexpected carries between them, like a call, waiting to be answered.
*This work is a remix/ heavily inspired by Wolfbird (OpalApparition), including people and locations. In my mind, a “what could have happened if they met in a different way and made different choices.” It’s sweet, has (mostly/eventual) soft landings, and features many puppies who absolutely did not ask to be a part of this, and one very dramatic chiweenie who did.
Thank you to OpalApparition for the encouragement to write what I love.

Summary
“You are planning to rob me or what?” He hears Rozanov call, and he can’t help but smile slightly even as he rolls his eyes, closing the door to the linen closet and feeling strangely lighter than when he opened it, reassured that he’s just trying to read into a blank page, that today doesn’t mean anything more than Rozanov doesn’t mind him being around, which is strangely flattering.
“I don’t know,” he calls back. “Don’t Russians like diamonds and fur and stuff? Where should I start looking if I want to know what my options are?”
He hears Rozanov laugh, and it makes him smile.
When he joins him in the living room once more, Rozanov tugs him down to lean against him again. Shane goes easier this time, settling into it, knowing it doesn’t mean anything other than the fact that he just happens to be the closest warm body, the person on Rozanov’s roster who filled today’s slot.
(the tuna meltdown doesn't happen) (this does not mean they get ANY better at communication)
(or: how shane didn't realize he had a boyfriend for several months)

Summary
Ilya Rozanov has been drafted by Boston, the number one pick overall, but his father doesn't want him moving to America and so takes steps to block his visa. He's going to have to go back to Russia and stay there forever and that, thinks Shane Hollander, is wrong.
It's so wrong that Shane can't stop himself from doing something about it. Even though that something is the most reckless, the only reckless thing he's ever done in his life. He marries Rozanov in secret, to keep him out of Russia and put him on a path to Canadian citizenship.
Shane's got a five-year plan to get him there and when you have a plan nothing can go wrong. Right? Right. When you have a solid plan and a marriage that's on paper only there's no risk of feelings getting involved. Not on Rozanov's part and certainly not on Shane's.
Right???
(or, the story of how Shane Hollander fell in love with his own husband)

Summary
Ilya shook his head, glancing around the yard to make sure no one was watching. They would surely stick out like a sore thumb together.
“For someone that thinks they have me figured out, you are oblivious.” Ilya’s voice softened. He reached up, this time grabbing Shane by the shoulder and gazing deep into his eyes. His fingers toyed with the collar of Shane’s band tee.
Realization dawned upon Shane’s doe-like features, “What do you want then?” His voice lowered to a whisper
“If you come back with me to my room, I can show you.” Ilya could not tear his eyes away from the glint of Shane’s lip ring, it called to him, begging to be bitten.
Shane looked up at him through thick lashes for a moment, regarding his words. Then, unexpectedly, he began to cackle. A deep belly laugh, a smile so big that Ilya didn’t even realize was possible for the moody boy to produce.
He had made a huge mistake. Completely misread Shane’s wandering glances. "In your fucking dreams, Rozanov.”
--
Or, Ilya is a douchebag frat president and Shane is the hot brooding emo boy that finally puts him in his place.
(Featuring Ilya "I get so gay off that tequila" Rozanov)
