best of the best hr fics
this is a collection of my favourite HR fics- specifically the ones that are like. I’m a better, smarter person from reading these. They’re not always the most fun, self indulgent reads, but they’re SO well written, smart and committed, I’d be genuinely shocked to hear that these authors AREN’T professionals.
please send these fics and their authors some love!! They’re genuinely so incredible, and so worth reading.

Staring at the Sun (90785 words) by Nerve_Itch (@muffichka on tumblr) Chapters: 12/12 Fandom: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers | Heated Rivalry - All Media Types Rating: Explicit
- The first sound Ilya hears is a thin, discordant symphony of beeps and whirs. Something vibrating. The next thing he hears is…wet. A sort of shaking, gargling sound, that feels like the ugliest crying he’s ever heard. And through it, Shane’s voice. “I’m with him now, mom. He’s— he’s not fine. He’s not. I know—” Ilya wants to ask who's not fine, but he can’t feel his own body, his mouth, enough to ask. “Yeah,” Shane is saying, only slightly calmer. “I know. He wasn’t breathing—" Ilya knows there's a link, between the clinical musicality of medical settings, Shane’s audible, awful distress, and his own physical incapacity. It’s just, it’s so tenuous, and the air around him is so thick, so heavy. It would be easy, to sleep, a little. - Footage of the last game between Ottawa and Montreal is everywhere; it’s breached containment from the sports world, and now it seems like everyone is baying for Montreal’s blood. Except, Ilya is oblivious. Not exactly blissfully so, but as the fight for accountability within the league rages on without him, Ilya just wants someone, anyone, to tell him what happened.
Protected Person (27498 words) by chinesebakery Chapters: 7/7 Fandom: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid Rating: Mature - Shane finds out on Twitter. Not from a lawyer or a teammate or even one of the journalists who've been calling nonstop since the FanMail video went viral. He finds out at 6:47 am, still in bed, that Russia is coming for Ilya. Propaganda charges. Passport revocation. Return to the Russian Federation required. What follows is weeks of watching everything fall apart. Ilya's career. Their safety. The system that was supposed to protect them. Shane keeps playing while Ilya can't. The lawyers file paperwork and say to wait. Montreal demands silence. Shane faces a choice: keep his head down and trust the process, or burn down his career and force the world to pay attention. He chooses fire.
skin still wet, still on my skin (9882 words) by IsvsWorld (@isvsworld on tumblr) Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Heated Rivalry (TV) Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply - Lily looked deliberately over Jane’s shoulder at that, her delicate fingers running through her smooth, ash blonde hair. She had started bleaching it a few years earlier. “Sure,” she laughed, sharp and flinty, “When are we not fighting?” --- Jane and Lily as WAGs
something you can fix (26823 words) by some1_around (@some1around on tumblr) Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid Rating: Mature Series: Part 1 of something you can fix - Maybe if the video ended there, Shane thought, it would be okay. Okayish. Still incriminating. Still a fucking disaster. Still embarrassing, to have his breakup with this beautiful actress filmed and disseminated on Reddit of all fucking places, but not a nail in his coffin, burying him alive. But the video didn’t end there. “Can I ask if you’ve ever been with another guy?” she had to ask. And he, tears visible in his eyes, had to nod. Just once. Just a single nod. Why did he have to nod? “Have you ever told anyone that before?” He shook his head. “Was it different? With a guy?” “Of course.” Of course. “Was it better?” “Yes.” +++ Shane’s conversation with Rose is secretly recorded. Months later, after the All-Star game and Ilya’s confession in Russian, the video gets leaked online. Shane is outed to the world while Ilya is in Russia, and must now finish the 2016-2017 season with the entire world in on his secret.

Carrion Comfort (161128 words) by eden22 (@stevesbootyshorts on tumblr) Chapters: 11/14 Fandom: Heated Rivalry (TV) Rating: Explicit - Flight 771 shouldn't have been any different than any of the hundreds of other flights that Shane has taken over the course of his career, aside from the fact that it was taking him towards his lifelong dream—towards the Olympics. It shouldn't have been any different. BEND OVER, STAY DOWN. BEND OVER, STAY DOWN. BEND OVER, STAY DOWN. It is.
Hello From Moscow, Goodbye from Montreal (115220 words) by Skyhon (@skyhonxhollanov on tumblr) Chapters: 13/? Fandom: Heated Rivalry (TV) Rating: Explicit Series: Part 1 of Hello/Goodbye, Dear/Sincerely Universe - “You have a ride back home, right? Please tell me you aren’t going to drive. You’ll crash one of your stupid sports cars and get a concussion. Or die.” “Awe, so sweet to me, worrying. But no, I am in Moscow. I have no good cars here, only shitty Marussia B2. Stupid purchase. You know, the B2 is just B1 but with fancier clothes? Look better than B1, though. B1 look like low-money 80’s future movie.” He makes an annoyed sound. “No. I do not have word. научная фантастика. What is movie type that has flying cars?” “Jesus,” Shane says, running a hand through his hair. “I don’t think I’ve ever heard you talk so much.” “You like my voice, da? So is no problem, for you.” “Fuck you. Do you mean sci-fi?” Rozanov makes a triumphant sound. “Yes, that! Sci-fi. B1 look like that meme of a cat’s face covered in cream. Ugly car. So, at least I have better choice. I can look at it and not wish to drive it off cliff and into garbage land.” “…You’re thinking of a landfill.” Or, Ilya keeps calling Shane at odd hours to talk about nothing and everything. Shane, for some reason he can’t quite rationalize, keeps answering. And texting. And then things get a bit out of hand.
smoke on skin (23742 words) by ivylines Chapters: 3/12 Fandom: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid - It’s a beautiful, perfect night, yet Rose’s chest tightens like she’s going to suffocate from fresh air. “Rose Landry.” Rozanov’s voice is deep and quiet, rumbling across the pavement like one of his infamous sports cars, accent curling around the “r’s” in her name like a snake. He tilts his head to her, a facsimile of a nod. Rose nods back—what else is she supposed to do in this situation? “Ilya Rozanov.” Rozanov’s lips twitch. “Ah, you know me, yes?” “Hard not to,” Rose responds. “Your reputation precedes you. And you seem to know me.” “Hard to miss the billboards. You look very…blue and naked in them.” Rose Landry meets Ilya Rozanov for the first time outside Bell Centre after a Montreal-Boston game while trying to surprise Shane. He is not at all what she expects, and it changes everything.

And then? (and then I love you anyways) (151679 words) by Confusedmonkey Chapters: 21/28 Fandom: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid, Game Changers | Heated Rivalry - All Media Types Rating: Explicit - “We could…be friends, maybe.” Shane’s voice was small, hesitant on almost every sound. “Wha–” Ilya’s reply was less of a word and more of a stupid, confused noise like he’d been punched. A punch probably would’ve caught him less off guard than what Shane actually said. “Y’know, text about the hockey gossip? You call, I answer? Friends.” Something terrifyingly bright exploded into Ilya’s chest. Something dangerous, that felt like maybe it could keep him warm through the summer in Russia, through the chill that permeated his childhood home no matter how warm it was outside. “And also we like to suck each other’s dicks,” he quipped, trying to deflect. “Fuck off, Rozanov.” --- Drunk and young and stupid, Shane and Ilya choose to be honest - just a little bit. To lean into each other, instead of apart. What happens if they choose to be a little bit brave on a Vegas rooftop in 2011, and keep choosing it?
Late for an appointment this morning because my beautiful son child stole a wrapped and bagged bologna sandwich containing roughly 300% his maximum safe sodium intake out of the lunch box in my backpack while I was on the shitter and refused to spit it out

Had to draw
I haven't made a creature in a while.
Day 1, needle felting. Still a long way to go on the silhouette.
Day 2. Need to build up the torso more and then fatten him up.
He is a little smaller than the dog I am basing him off of, but he'll still be within breed standards. :)
Day 3. Wrangling him into a pose before I continue refining the body. Perhaps a head tomorrow?
Day 4. Lots of looking at references (bless folks who shave down these dogs so I can understand what's underneath all that fur). Still much to refine.
Decided the tail should be a bit longer. Failed and then succeeded at making eyes. Got a blank started for the head. Might make a clay nose before bed.
Hit a milestone of 1lb of core wool used so far. Probably need 2-3 more days until I can start rooting the fur.
Day 5. Might pose him in a play bow with some of his rubber rings from the books, since he is shaping up to be more book-influenced and 1940's breed standard.
Still much to refine on the body, and I barely started on the face.
Day 6. Still needs a lot of filling out everywhere, but he is starting to look like a dog.
It also deeply bothers me how many people pull the "okay now ask the average African American how they feel about gay and trans people" as a gotcha, to try to act as though Black people specifically hate and are oppressing queer and trans people (and as if we just, AREN'T those things too).
Buddy ask the average White American how they feel about gay and trans people, since we're taking the census and the piss. Hell, look at the people in charge currently pushing anti trans and anti queer legislation and tell me how they identify. Look at the racial demographics of our last election and tell me who you think is out here going rah rah for the gays and theys.
The audacity to suggest that my entire community is homophobic (I.e., you spend zero time around Black queer and trans folk) but somehow yours is worthy of a closer, more nuanced look... Really some OG white supremacy, actually! "Those savages, they don't understand things like gender and sexuality, they're just angry uncultured brutes!" -mentality shared between 1700s race scientists and 2026 You, apparently.
Some folks was really out here lying with those #BLM pins 😭

Reminder that "crime", "criminal", "legal", and "illegal" are about laws, not ethics or morality.
"How will we stop crime?" just means "How do we keep people from breaking laws?" But people act like they're asking "How do we keep people from acting in harmful ways?"
"They crossed the border illegally!" implies complete acceptance of the realness of what is essentially a line on a map, as well as the authority to control who is on which side of it, while also ignoring the reality of people fleeing from other lines on a map because of real instabilities ultimately caused by the most powerful line-controlling authorities.
Laws can be unjust. Committing a crime to break an unjust law still makes you a criminal. Laws can change. You can be turned into a criminal at any time.
Law-enforcement is not the same as immorality-prevention. Though you wouldn't know it from the way most people talk.
“No homo” cries the team at the dig site. The head archaeologist sinks to his knees, sobbing. He has dedicated his entire career to the pursuit of homo habilis, an important part of the hominid evolutionary line. All his work led up to this archaeological dig site. But now, his whole life has been for nothing. There is no homo….there is only Australopithecus.
I read this to a group of archaeologists and they completely lost their shit
Imagine the level of whimsy I could reach if I just had $5M in my bank account rn
I’m disabled and it pisses me off so much when people use termination for medical reasons in the case of fetuses with non-fatal congenital conditions as a reason that abortion is evil and pregnant people shouldn’t be allowed to decide to end a pregnancy. I would not damn a dog to be dependent on the American medical system, much less a human being for the next 75+ years. Do not talk to me about eugenics until the mentally ill and physically disabled stop freezing to death on the street and dying of treatable illnesses because they can’t afford a caretaker OR their medication OR stable housing. If someone wants to terminate a pregnancy before that fetus becomes a living, kicking, screaming, breathing baby, you cannot compare that to the fucking vile things that happen to actual living disabled people in our society every fucking day. There are actual disabled people begging for help and you’re ignoring them to pretend like you give a fuck about unborn disabled “babies”.
Also I'd like to add that a person who doesn't want or can't afford a disabled child definitely has a good reason. They are unfit to raise a disabled child, and our adoption and fostercare system is full of pedophiles and human traffickers. I would not trust a child to the hands of our system at all, let alone a disabled one.
Yes, that too. I would much rather have someone abort a pregnancy because the fetus showed signs of a genetic or congenital abnormality than get rid of the choice and force people to become a parent to a disabled child and resent them or feel extreme misplaced guilt for their child’s challenges and pain. There is already so much of that in the world. Again, I’d recommend not having kids if you don’t want a disabled child but deciding to terminate a pregnancy because the fetus would be born requiring numerous invasive surgeries, lifelong medical intervention and high support needs is not necessarily a sign that person loathes the disabled and could not love a disabled child.
saw an ad outside a local restaurant that said "have a star-crossed dinner this valentine's day"
do...do people not know being star-crossed is bad?

I hate how people call it a ‘gender war’ like gender-based violence doesn’t primarily go in one direction and there aren’t incels with podcasts saying that the 19th Amendment should be overturned. There has never been a Gamergate for women, there has yet to be a female Elliot Rodger. This is not a war. Women are occasionally lobbing unfriendly comments at men and men are detonating nuclear bombs on them. And there is a definite reason that women today are outspoken about being disillusioned by and disgusted with their male peers and committed to decentering men in their lives and it isn’t because all these women are radical misandrists who do not see men as human. Gender war makes it seem like a petty squabble with two offensives and not women realizing that many of their male peers genuinely hate them.
*TERFs, I sincerely hope you shit yourself in a public place, go fuck yourself and do not touch my post. This post is not for you.
The early 2010s millennial hope of a better more progressive future contrasted with the sharp traditionalist alt-right U-turn that so many Gen Z and millennial men went down scarred generations of women.
