Summary
The Sheriff has spent months worried out of his mind about Stiles and getting increasingly frustrated by the constant lies and trouble. He finally cracks after yet another bullshit excuse, and tells Stiles he's had enough. Stiles refuses to open up, and their relationship threatens to fall apart. In the aftermath, an overheard conversation forces the Sheriff to reevaluate and try to make things right with his son before he loses him for good.
This is a story about hurting the people you love and loving people who have hurt you, and how you muddle through to try to fix it.

Soulmates (or Shane and Ilya winning the Love Game) by Justaromanticfool
Fandoms: Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid, Heated Rivalry (TV)
05 Oct 2025

Summary
He knew it stung Ilya, people not understanding. It stung him too. Because to Shane, loving Ilya was like breathing and also like standing on solid ground after years of drifting. It flooded him and steadied him at the same time. It hurt, knowing the world reduced them to a rivalry, a strange story, a piece of scandalous gossip when what they had was so much more. He wanted to be by Ilya’s side for everything, the mundane, the bright and the hard. And maybe not everyone who was in love felt like this, so overwhelmed and so steadied all at once. But Shane did. And if love was a contest, well… he is the winner.
Best couple. Number one. Most epic love story ever.Or 4 times Shane told people him and Ilya were practically soulmates and the 1 time the universe told him.

"If there's a chance for me/Then I don't care" by Rozander (EvanesDust)

Summary
[excerpt]
"So, you have concussion?" he asked, hating his broken English. But his throat was tight, choking him, and his head was a mess. The less he spoke, the better, or else he might actually cry."Yeah. I blacked out a couple of times, I guess. I don't remember the game." Shane let out a derisive laugh and Ilya didn't like the sheen of tears in his eyes. "I don't even remember my own team right now. Post-traumatic amnesia."
Ilya's heart stopped.
Amnesia?
"So you do not…" Remember me? Ilya wanted to ask, but he couldn't voice the words. Not with his throat constricted. Not when his heart raced. Everything faded away as white noise filled his head. Tears stung his eyes and his nose burned for some reason.
Shane didn't remember him.
