Traffic Light Party by notesappapologies
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid

Summary
The party was lame, Ilya thought the theme was stupid but Marley insisted.
“Roz, it’s perfect. Red clothes means absolutely not, they’re already in a relationship or somehow wearing a purity ring and going to frat parties.”
“Yes, Marley, I get it –“ Ilya started to say but Cliff Marlow interrupted, keen to explain a concept Ilya was already well aware of.
“And get this, yellow means maybe. So if they are wearing yellow clothes then it depends. So you can shoot your shot but they might turn you down.”
“Yes, like every single time you try to hit on women.”
Or: Ilya’s frat hosts a traffic light themed party and someone who never shows up to these things is wearing green.

Part 3 of Bumping into Each Other
*********Ilya had seen him come out through the sliding doors and decided not to say anything. He would finish his cigarette and then go back to his Lamborghini in the parking garage, go home and try to forget. Except he could see Shane flustered and frustrated, it looked like he was having trouble booking a car. He stubbed out his cigarette and tossed it in the trash not far from where Shane stood.
“Hollander.” Ilya motioned with his head.
“Oh hey?” Shane didn’t understand the gesture.
“I’ll give you a lift.”
OR:
Shane and Ilya end things after tuna melt gate but they still have to play against each other the next day. During the game they ignore each other. Their teammates get injured and admitted to hospital. They don’t expect to bump into each other.
It’s raining and there are no available taxis so Ilya offers Shane a ride. Stuck in traffic, they end up talking out the day before. Will anything change?

Summary
Even though Shane had been smiling the whole time, Ilya was wary because it was just so out of character.
“Ok so, you want to get drunk? What? So you are numb? Try to forget about today?”Shane stops smiling and stares back at Ilya floored.
“What? No? Forget? I want to celebrate! I came out to my parents and have a boyfriend who I love. Why would I want to be numb? I’m so incredibly happy”Ilya exhales in relief,
“Oh thank God, I thought you were having a mental break. Saying you want to get drunk but really a cry for help. Like hostage situation. Blink twice if someone is forcing you to not be boring” his lips now stretched into a big smileOR:
After Shane and Ilya reveal their relationship to Yuna and David, Shane wants to get a bit drunk to celebrate coming out and having a boyfriend.
They chat about important milestones in their relationships so far and get a little sexy. -

Part 2 of Bumping into Each Other
*******“My flight is later, I will be here all day too. We could hang out.” Ilya said this with a casual shrug as if it was an afterthought.
“Oh?” Shane hesitated before continuing.
“Hmm. Hang out? I don’t think that’s a good idea.” The words ‘hang out’ seemed to be said with implied air quotes by Shane.“Get your mind out of the drain, Hollander. I meant hang out, like go do some tourist things.”
“Drain? You mean gutter?”
“Whatever” Ilya huffed.
“I don’t know, wouldn’t that be weird? We’re not exactly friends.”
Ilya wanted to point out that he knew Hollander pretty intimately but he thought that might scare him off more.
“This is hurtful, Hollander. You would rather watch paint dry than hang out with Russian. I did not know you were Xenophobic”.OR:
It turns out when they spend time together they like each other a lot. Who knew?*****
Alexei, play ‘Waking Up in Vegas’ by Katy Perry then immediately turn it off after the title phrase.

Bumping into Each Other by notesappapologies
Fandom Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid, Heated Rivalry (TV)
17 Mar 2026
Summary
I like the idea of these ‘sliding doors’ moments between these two guys. They are totally obsessed with each other and I think if they somehow were able to spend more time together without the expectations of hockey or immediately hooking up then I think their obvious ‘like’ for one another could come out in any number or ways.
Fancy seeing you here. What if the two hockey boys ran into each other outside of games when they’re in the same city.

Summary
Truth is, he could just say it. He could just be honest.
Ilya, I'm worried you will see all these hot naked women and remember you miss them. Ilya, I'm worried I'm not enough. Ilya, I'm worried you'll come home and see me in comparison, so inelegant, so bulky, so brash, and realize this is wrong for you. That I am wrong for you. But saying all this would mean opening this entire huge clunky box thing, which only remains closed in virtue of Shane never looking at it for more than two seconds. So he says nothing.
But one rule supersedes all other rules regarding Ilya: if he wants to fuck around, Shane will make sure he finds out.
Or: Shane gets himself a set of pretty lingerie as revenge, and Ilya comes all over his pretty panties embarassingly fast.

Summary
🌹"No questions. No feelings. Just because we want to."🌹
Shane Hollander is a PhD student who knows how to stay invisible.
Ilya Rozanov is Montreal’s most arrogant hockey star who never plays by rules he didn’t set himself.It should be easy to walk away.
Instead, it becomes something quiet and hidden—late nights, closed doors, and a version of Ilya no one else gets to see.
Ilya doesn’t do feelings.
Shane was never meant for something like this.But he stays.
And he falls anyway.And when it ends, Ilya might finally understand what it meant—
when there’s nothing left to hold onto.(fake dating, secrecy, loving someone who was never going to choose you | WIP — 2 updates/week | happy ending, I promise 💔➡️❤️) 🔥

Summary
“Right,” he responded, “Shane. It’s – my name is Shane.”
“Shane,” Ilya’s mouth curled into a smile. “It is very nice to meet you,” his eyes tracked down to the label sewn on his front jacket, S. Hollander. “Shane Hollander, paramedic.”
_________________or: Ilya is the Ottawa Centaur's star player. Shane Hollander is a paramedic and med student. They intersect one evening, and Ilya finds he can't get enough.
