For the record, my other dream heated rivalry yuri work which I will never write (because #depression also because im not skilled enough as a writer) is a roselana fic where the PWHL equivalent works differently and Rose is an owner of an expansion team a la Ryan Reynolds in Welcome to Wrexham and Svetlana is hired to be GM of the team after being an Assistant GM for the Raiders.
Svetlana is kinda freaking out because 1) she's so fucking young to be the first ever gm of a team 2) she's afraid that she's ruined her career but she was tired of the Raiders overlooking what she had to say due to misogyny/racism 3) a subset of fans were awful to her due to misogyny and racism and were insinuating she slept her way to the job 4) the not awful fans were excited out about her being the first female gm and second Black gm and now there's a tone that she's letting feminism down because she took a less "prestigious" job because people are awful about women's sports a la Becky Hammon
Rose, on the other hand, is trying to balance a million things like her acting roles and investments and her new team. She's getting a lot of complicated praise for being like "Yasss thank you queen for proving that feminine straight women can also be involved in women's sports". A lot of people assume this is a vanity project for her after she got into hockey to impress boys and that she's not a SERIOUS owner. And her new boyfriend is nice and there's nothing wrong with him but he doesn't make her cum which is fine because they never have sex!!
AND THEN SVETA AND ROSE BECOME BEST FRIENDS AND FALL IN LOVE. They have a girls night after Rose breaks up with her bf because of 1) the sex and 2) Rose started dreading checking her phone and seeing she had a text from him and not Sveta. They both get tipsy and Rose admits she hasnt orgasmed in ages and Sveta is like "lmao I can fix that". Cue morning after freaking out.
Rose is like i can't fall in love with a woman I'm straight and Shane is like "...are you because you keep on getting with guys who you don't have to have sex with and you keep talking how you wish you could date a woman. You know it's legal right, you can if you want to" and Svetlana is like I cant date Rose b/c think of the impact on my career and Ilya is like "but think of your life if you don't end up with the woman you're in love with. Also you already had sex with her"
And that's my pitch for HEATED RIVALRY 2: YURI BOOGALOO: RISE OF THE WARM FRIENDSHIP
