“So you want to deal with all the shit of coming out and not get the benefits?”
“We are never going back to hiding things. And we get the all the benefits.”
Shane and Ilya find some ways, with help, to right some of the wrongs from the past.

This fic is the productive outcome of my general outrage towards the things Shane and Ilya had to deal with through The Long Game (obviously spoilers for the book - and it won't make sense if you haven't read it). How does our favourite yearning bottom leverage a village to exact revenge? With meticulous planning and spreadsheets.
Well, I'm officially on the bandwagon. After a few decades of fandoming to many different series, this is the first time I've felt compelled to put my musings up - Heated Rivalry has that power. Chapter 1 is out, and there are a few more that are coming. Hope a few folks enjoy.
