hot mics and hotter rivalries (or how i learned to stop worrying and let my boyfriend out us on national television) by pucksandpower
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid

Summary
Shane Hollander is going to murder his agent.
And he means that literally. Because his agent is the reason he’s currently wearing a hot mic during Hockey Night in Canada. Against the Ottawa Centaurs. Against Ilya.
Ilya, who has no filter. Ilya, who thinks workplace professionalism is a hilarious suggestion for other people. Ilya, who has spent a decade perfecting the art of saying absolutely unhinged things to Shane on the ice, safe in the knowledge that nobody can hear him.
Ilya, who definitely doesn’t know about the microphone.
What follows is sixty minutes of Shane’s life flashing before his eyes while his secret boyfriend enthusiastically discusses their sex life, their broken furniture, and exactly what he wants to do to Shane after the game — all broadcast to millions of viewers.
The problem? Shane can’t get a word in edgewise to warn him.

The Game Plan by FestiveFerret, pouringinsheets

Summary
Shane Hollander is the number two overall NHL draft pick and a newly minted Montreal Voyageur. He’s also laser focused on his goals: being the best by beating the best. For him, this means a continued rivalry with number one draft pick—and new Ottawa Centaur—Ilya Rozanov. But when a problem with Rozanov’s immigration paperwork threatens his future in the NHL, what does that mean for Shane’s own career? He can’t risk finding out…so they get married. Just for immigration. A fast, practical, mutually beneficial solution.
No one will ever suspect, let alone find out, that the NHL’s greatest rivals are secretly married. And there’s certainly no risk of feelings getting involved. They have a game plan.

Summary
"Scram," Charles orders suddenly, with a flick of the hand that vacates the young noble by two burly guards. There's only Max left. He has stood in front of royals, in front of monsters, in front of Gods; nothing has left him more frozen than to stand in front of his husband. Having his full attention is dizzying, even with the cloak's protection. “Who are you?”
or; after ten years, Max comes back home. It doesn't quite go as he expected.

Summary
Merlin hoped that if he helps with the worst part, then people will take care of the rest of their own mess. However, it turned out the secrets of the new Dark Lord run much deeper than anticipated and he’ll have to stick for a little bit longer this time. Unless the curious teenagers, nosy adults, careless creatures or infuriating portraits drive him nuts first. Well, let the game begin… again.

“You know,” Charles started with a laugh, “if Red Bull are as fucked as you say they are, maybe you should just come with me.”
Max furrowed his eyebrows, bright eyes glinting in the sunlight.
“With you?” he asked.

Summary
It has been six months since both Merlin’s magic and his pregnancy were revealed, and six months since he was locked inside an opulent guest room turned prison cell. Arthur hasn’t been to visit him – not once – despite the fact that the child Merlin is carrying is his, and Merlin still doesn’t know whether an execution awaits him on the other side of his pregnancy. If he even survives it, that is. Because it has also been six months since Merlin’s magic was locked away by iron cuffs, and the strain is making him weaker by the day.
Tired of waiting and deciding that he can’t allow an innocent baby to grow up in a Camelot that hates magic, Merlin strikes a deal with Agravaine that will ensure the safety of his unborn child.

Summary
Charles recalibrates. He twists and fixes his rifle’s adjustment settings until he’s satisfied, knowing intuitively when that strikes true. The crosshairs in his scope never waver as he waits like a hunter about to pounce. He waits, and waits, and waits—his breathing slowing down more and more with each passing second.
Until—
“There you are,” he mutters.
Max Verstappen. Jos Verstappen’s son. The most powerful Penoze syndicate’s alpha heir apparent.
And he’s also Charles’ assigned hit.

Summary
The large display in the area for fans shows a joyful Max, who has won yet again, together with an equally delighted Kelly. She embraces him and kisses through the safety glass. Someone nearby applauds. The camera zooms in, allowing everyone to witness the romantic scene closely. Holding onto the mesh, Charles tightens his grip on the thin wires, leaving noticeable horizontal indentations. He wants to say something hurtful but spotted fans recording him from behind. Instead, he keeps his gaze on the large screen.
Someone whispers "Wow, he's handsome" and Charles can barely stop himself from turning to the fans and shouting that their favorite Dutchman also holds other men by the waist and pulls them to him in the same way to fuck in a faceless hotel room where they have come in turns, fifteen minutes apart, so that no one sees.
Or,
a story where Charles reflects a lot, learns to appreciate himself and loves Max thoughtlessly.Series

Summary
Through the one way glass, Harry watches as the suspect fidgets, drumming his fingers on top of the table briefly before picking at the skin on his left thumb. A nervous habit, one that makes him prone to shedding DNA all over the place. With any luck forensics will come back with a strong match.
“His lawyer or a lawyer?” Harry clarifies.
“His lawyer,” Marianne tells him. “Seems like Mr. Tomlinson has spent the better part of the last decade running around trying to convince people he's a psychic. Got enough brains to have an attorney on speed dial, seems like.”

Summary
A hand grasped his arm, sending a brief thrill down Merlin's nerves as he was forced around to face the person behind him. Armour gleamed in the firelight: supple chainmail glinted, and the solid iron of a pauldron curved lovingly over one broad shoulder. The length of a sword blade separated them. The point hovered, steady and sure, over Merlin's heart, braced to run him through, but he did not care about any of that. He was too busy drinking in the sight of the man before him.
He could never forget him, no matter how many centuries had passed.
'Arthur?'
When Merlin ultimately fails in his destiny, the fading remnants of magic that linger in the modern world fling him not just back in time, but sideways as well. He ends up in a Camelot where all his friends are alive, well and aware of his magic.
He ends up in a Camelot where his alternate self died almost a year ago.
Can he, Arthur and their friends still forge the golden age he was once promised, or will grief and suspicion tear them apart?
