Summary
"Ilya had loved him through his worst moments. Ilya had helped him find a therapist when he’d collapsed on the floor of their hotel bathroom after losing a particularly brutal game, scratching at his chest. Ilya had held him, even when Shane yelled at him because there was panic crawling under his skin and he felt as though it might claw its way out. Ilya had told him it was okay; that it didn’t make him a bad player to resent the spotlight sometimes, that it didn’t make him a bad teammate to hate the team when they were too loud and too drunk and too physical, that it didn’t make him a bad person to need space to breathe. Ilya saved him.
And look what you give him in return. You’re a shitty husband, Shane Hollander.
You don’t deserve his last name."

Rough Contact by NovaIsSuper
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
23 Feb 2026

Summary
(This is an au. The timeline sort of follows Heated Rivalry and it involves characters from the books and shows. Other than that pretty much everything is different.)
Ilya's stepbrother has eyes everywhere and stupid little Ilya pays him for it. He knows that little shit's secret and he knows how to use it as a weapon.
He decides to put Ilya back in his place when his friend contacts him one day. Not only is there a text, but a fucking picture.
Andrei decides that enough is enough and that Ilya will learn his place or lose his life. If his little friend dies with him, well, that will be another piece of shit the world will be rid of.
A story of surviving, finding, healing, and thriving.
(Author is queer and does not support any hate or harm to the queer community, please read with care)

Summary
One unlucky hit on the ice, and Shane loses more than he could've imagined, or: the romance novel amnesia AU that nobody asked for and that I felt compelled to write anyway.
Shane—Shane was alive. He was alive, and in the best hospital in Montreal, and being monitored by a vigilant team of doctors and nurses. The machines that were attached to him proclaimed his life. There was his heartbeat: 62 beats per minute. His blood oxygen was 99%. There were all sorts of other numbers and charts, none of which alarmed the nurse who had bustled in and then bustled out again. That meant that everything was good—except for the fact that Shane had not woken up yet. That, Ilya knew, was very, very bad.

Summary
How did he let this happen?
Shane's not sure.
One moment, he was on the gym floor not staring at Rozanov's
gorgeoussweaty body. Then Shane was standing up, but his legs were weak for some god forsaken reason and Rozanov was there, just an arm around his waist to keep him upright, and now...Well.
Now Shane's on his knees on the floor of Ilya Rozanov's shower.
Or
Heated Rivalry, but the boys are forced to have an honest conversation around 8 years earlier than they do in canon.

What if Elphaba lets go of her defensiveness when Fiyero runs into her in the forest.
Okay so this if my first attempt at fanfic in I have no idea but this idea got stuck in my head and wouldn't leave until I got it down. I do plan to make this a couple parts, just not sure how many. Also know, I have never been a Glinda fan from my first watching of Wizard of Oz oh so many years ago (like I'm sorry, she couldn't be bothered to tell Dorothy how to get home and instead made her run some kind of gauntlet. Bitch.) so I'm not sure I'm gonna be all that nice to her here.

Summary
“Something’s wrong here,” he whispered. He struggled to his feet. “Glinda, don’t you see? I shouldn’t—I shouldn’t be here. Me and Elphaba, we fled Oz…you–you were supposed to think we were dead—”
Glinda looked like she couldn’t decide between confusion and utter outrage. She crossed her arms. “I don’t know what kind of dreams you’ve been having, dearest, but the press conference is in two hours, so I’d appreciate it very much if you could make yourself presentable!” She stomped out of the room, yanking the door shut behind her.

Or:
Elphaba and Fiyero make it out of Oz, but tragedy strikes unexpectedly, and Fiyero finds himself trapped in an endless cycle of trying to save his beloved.

Summary
Joel sounds a thousand miles away. “Ellie? Are you listening? I said, don’t you *ever* do that again.”
Well, she thinks deliriously, that won’t be a problem after all.
“Ellie, what—?”
It feels like she has no control over her body anymore, like it’s someone else who is extending her arm, pulling back her sleeve, and exposing a ring of broken skin. She hears Joel stop breathing when he sees it too.
She's been bitten.
________AU where Ellie is already traveling across the country with Joel when she gets bitten.

Summary
Joel doesn’t really know what he expected to happen when he finally delivered Ellie to the Firefly hospital.
To be completely frank, he didn’t actually expect to make it to the hospital at all, so the fact that he managed to get them both here without being bitten or brutally murdered is something of a pleasant surprise.

Summary
He takes her out of the hospital on Sarah’s birthday as much for his own sake as for hers. Even miserable and sick from playing medical mystery, she’s intuitive, and he feels her watching him as the day approaches. She doesn’t ask, too aware of all of the painful spots he hasn’t told her about, but she presses closer to him in a way that feels like she’s doing it more for him than for her.
They had gone looking for the giraffes originally. They roam as they want, but they tend to stick near the old zoo where there's still a stable for them to shelter in. He hadn’t wanted to wander too far for Ellie’s sake, fresh out of a trial of yet another failed drug. She’s leaning on him pretty heavily today, dizzy from blood draws and the lingering after-effects of the medication, and she’s frustrated with herself that she keeps needing breaks. She’s an energetic kid, and he knows the physical weakness grinds her down as much as the pain, forcing her to stop them every few minutes to catch her breath.
Then he sees a bright painted wing on a building.
“Hey,” he says, and she looks up at him, face tight with pain and frustration both. He nods his head to the building. “You like butterflies?”

Summary
Grabbing his gun, Joel turned down the alleyway, keeping his eyes peeled for any possible sign of fungus growing up the nearby walls, but luckily there was no sign of it. Continuing down through the dark alleyway, Joel paused as a strike of lightning lit up the alleyway for a split moment and he spotted something crouched down in the corner at the end of the alleyway. The figure made his heart leap in his chest and he pointed his gun right at it, almost pulling the trigger. But something inside stopped him. As another flash of lightning lit up the sky, the figure was illuminated, revealing it to be a small child. A little girl no older than four
TLDR: Joel finds Ellie all alone in the rain and decides to take her in for a bit before he can return her to the fireflies, but the more he gets to know about her, the more he’s concerned about what exactly the fireflies were doing with her

Summary
Being the key to saving humanity is much less glamorous than someone might expect. There’s a lot more bleeding and puking and sweating than she thinks is fair, strictly speaking, and she makes the fun discovery that she loses her shit in an MRI machine when it reminds her of being trapped in a cage, and she has a panic attack so bad Joel almost breaks the machine getting her out.
(She gets sedated before MRIs after that, so she wakes up nauseous and grumpy, but beggars can’t be choosers, and MRI flight risks can’t be vocal about their side effects.)
“Say the word,” Joel always says, when he’s rubbing her back or holding her hair out of the way or letting her clutch his hand while they do a spinal tap, “and we’re out of here.”
“We’re so close,” she always tells him. “They’ll figure it out soon.”
And she believes it, mostly.
Primarily because she has to, if she’s going to keep going.
(the fireflies don't try to kill her, but ellie still has a Very Bad Time in the hospital)

Summary
When her stomach finally settles and she’s stopped dry heaving, he picks her up and carries her around to the passenger seat. The glovebox yields an old packet of Kleenex, and he wipes her face off for her while she does her best to help while she’s still uncoordinated from the drugs in her system. After an attempt at taking the tissue ends with her poking herself in the eye, he gently catches her hands and sets them on her lap.
“I’ve got it,” he tells her, and then she just closes her eyes and leans her head back.
He lets her rinse her mouth out and then take a few sips of water, and he waits to make sure it’ll stay down before he buckles her in and leans the seat back so she can sleep more if she wants.
“Happened?” She asks, eyes fluttering open through sheer stubbornness, but he just cups her clammy cheek and kisses her temple.
“I’ll tell you later,” he tells her.
Trusting him, she falls asleep once more.

Summary
“Explain,” Ellie echoes, and he feels her hands fist in the fabric of his shirt when she sways too far to the right. His impulse is to reach back to steady her, but this isn’t the moment. Instead he leans back just a bit, and she takes the gesture for what it is, leaning forward a bit more to steady herself against him.
“We didn’t know it was Joel with you,” Marlene says, in that same calm tone. “As soon as we figured it out, we brought him here to recover.”
“And tried to drug me,” Ellie spits like an angry cat.
“You were panicking,” Marlene says. She moves forward a half-step. “We just-”
“Back,” he orders, and after a jerk of the rifle, she does. He doesn’t know what’s going on, not yet, but he knows that Ellie is upset and Marlene has had something to do with it.
And what else does he need to know, really?

"I don't know how to do this," she says into his shirt as he tugs her further into the house. "I don't know how to just...live." I don't know how to be loved this much. I don't deserve it. Joel presses his nose into her hair and takes a deep inhale.
"We're gonna figure it out," he says. "You and me. Okay?" She nods, wiping her tears and her snot on his shirt but she knows he won't care. She believes him with every bone in her body. They're going to figure it out.
