This Kid is Going to Ruin My Life by Anonymous
Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers | Heated Rivalry - All Media Types, Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
2026-10-25
Starting before then running concurrently with the events of Mr. Answer Man, this is Scott's perspective on the first three years of Shane and Ilya's growing relationship. You do not need to have read Mr. Answer Man to understand this (I hope!) but I recommend it.
Scott Hunter is 25 years old, Captain of the New York Admirals, and privately, achingly, gay. He meets Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov at the 2009 MLH draft day, and everyone involved immediately gets several wrong ideas. For the next three years, Scott has to navigate his place as a closeted gay man in the spotlight of major league hockey, while trying to protect an oblivious baby queer from an obviously straight Russian menace who can't seem to stay away.

Then it’s Friday night and Kip is on his way to his first ever client. He told his dad he has a new job pet-sitting to explain the weird hours and overnight absences that are about to occur, and felt more than a little guilty when George patted his shoulder and told Kip how proud he was of him for working so hard.
Well, he wouldn’t be proud of this, Kip thinks as he walks through the lobby of a fancy East Side apartment building. About to give the guy in the penthouse the boyfriend experience he booked. All 16 hours of it.

Kip finds a more lucrative side gig than smoothie barista. And then he finds Scott.- Language:

Long Change by Anonymous

2026-09-20
Three years isn't that long, really. It's long enough to get a Master's Degree in Art History. Long enough to build the foundations of a relationship that could last the rest of their lives. Long enough for a professional hockey player to figure out how to tell the world he's gay.
What happened between episode 3 and episode 5, with our sweet boys and all the people who helped them get there.

And now comes the part they have to get just right. Scott catches Carter’s eyes again and Carter nods as if to say ready when you are. They know this, their bodies know this, and it feels the same way executing a play together does: perfect synchronicity. Just with a slightly different goal in mind this time.

He knows Kip has talked this through with Carter and Gloria, has probably run through scenarios, set limits, planned for contingencies…Scott just needs to be here. Be here and take what he’s given. It makes his head feel all quiet, slipping further down.
“Two fingers,” Gloria says evenly and Kip follows the new instruction, sliding his free hand’s index and middle finger between Scott’s teeth.

a little less conversation and a little more touch my body by Anonymous
Game Changers | Heated Rivalry - All Media Types
2026-06-07
There is nothing else in the world for Scott, usually, when he’s on his knees for Kip like this, but this time, he can practically feel Carter and Gloria’s eyes on himself. And he wants to impress them, wants them to see how well he takes care of Kip. He knows he’s good at it, and when he goes a little faster and Kip moans and gasps and puts his other hand on Scott’s shoulder, bunching the fabric of his shirt between in his fingers – he hears Carter say “oh shit” quietly and it makes him feel like he’s glowing with pride.

twenty stitches in a hospital room (when the sun came up, i was looking at you) by Anonymous

He answered the phone, pressing it tight against his ear even as he maneuvered his way through the locker room and toward the hallway. “Hey. Is everything all right?”
There was a moment of silence, shaky and stiff that worried Scott more than the five separate calls did. Scott’s frown deepened, pulse beginning to hammer beneath his skin. He threw caution to the wind, unable to think clearly over the nausea beginning to roil in his gut. “Kip? What’s wrong?”
“Is this Scott?” An unfamiliar voice filtered through the speaker and into Scott’s ear, doing nothing to calm the anxiety slowly ratcheting up higher and higher within him.
Scott paused for a moment in the doorway, not caring if his teammates noticed him. “Who is this? What’s going on?”
“This is Kip’s dad.” Scott braced himself against the doorframe, stomach clawing its way up his throat.

“You said Benny.”
“I said Benny what?”
“If you had to choose, you said Benny.”
“Oh God,” Scott sighs. He carefully keeps his eyes closed. This is what Carter has been mulling over for months now? “It wasn’t that deep, I just said whatever. I don’t see you guys that way.”
“Yeah, yeah, I get that,” Carter says. “But…hypothetically.”

The soundproofing in room 1221 is exactly as bad as Shane fears. He and Rozanov can hear every word as Scott Hunter engages in a deeply depressing annual ritual, and decide offering comfort is more important than keeping things a secret.
It sparks a friendship that ends up changing more than just the trajectory of those three men's lives.

Carter Did Not Sign Up For This (He Got Voluntold By Shane Hollander) by Anonymous
Heated Rivalry (TV)
2026-05-28
"Did. You. Mean. It."
Carter Vaughn doesn't mind if his afternoon nap gets interrupted for a good cause. Which is good for him because Shane Hollander is so far past asking permission he may well bulldoze them all into a different universe.
Or: After Ilya gets outed in Sochi, Shane Hollander is determined to help. Carter, who possesses a healthy sense of self-preservation, is too smart to stand in his way—but, as it turns out, not quite smart enough to stay out of the drama.

for my self had been buried by Anonymous
Game Changers | Heated Rivalry - All Media Types
2026-05-19
The decision to invite Carter in his hotel room had been made last minute, and Scott wondered if it wasn't too soon. He had never really came out to anyone, really; no one in his circle knew this part of him except for Kip. And wasn't that the exact problem? He buried himself so deep inside the closet, terrified, that he couldn't even dream of getting out of it.

“I went to Catholic school, you know,” Scott says, nodding at a painting of the Archangel Gabriel.
“Oh.” Kip sounds surprised that he’s sharing anything about himself unprompted and stands next to him to look at the painting together. “So you know all the saints and everything?”
“Saint Christopher,” Scott says quietly and he feels so brave and reckless when he brushes the back of his knuckles against Kip’s. He’s rewarded with a little smile. “Patron saint of travelers. You’ve been watching over this traveler anyway.”

one small step and one giant leap by Anonymous
Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid, Game Changers | Heated Rivalry - All Media Types
2026-04-20
Scott watched as Hollander leaned in, further, to hear Rozanov. This was the part that didn’t entirely make sense to him. The missing piece of something that felt like it was just beyond his reach. This was quiet ease and small moments of comfort and a look that makes the rest of the world fade away. This was how he felt with Kip.
Scott stilled.
It was as if someone had whispered it in his ear. It was as if the final piece of this insane, deranged puzzle finally clicked into place. His heart was pounding in his ears. He was probably wrong. In fact he was entirely wrong. This wasn’t like him and Kip. It couldn’t be Kip. Scott had been watching too many romantic comedies. His head was in the clouds.
But they weren’t touching.
Hollander and Rozanov were as close as they could be, without laying a single finger on one another. They were specifically, rigidly, separate. The warmth between them was bridled. Entirely. And this, Scott realized, his heart sinking into the floor, was also how he had felt with Kip.
Oh. Oh fuck.

take it from the top by Anonymous
Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
2026-04-20
It's 2016. Scott Hunter is in his rookie year with the New York Admirals and at first glance his life is going great. He’s a generational talent slated to be Captain, a cinch for Rookie of the Year, and has just been named an MLH All-Star. Unfortunately, he’s also a closeted gay orphan with no swag, no bitches, and no friends.
But it’s fine. Scott just has to keep this one measly secret for another twenty or so years, and then he can retire and get a hot boyfriend and finally live his life as his true authentic self — whatever that means. Everything is going to be just fine.
Or: in which we are forced to contend with the hard hitting question of "what if Scott Hunter wasn’t old but Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander were?" and also "haha wouldn’t it be great if everybody was about 50% more Canadian?"

The Useful Revolving Door by Anonymous
Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
2026-04-14
This is a sorta fix-it. For when Scott asks Kip to move in with him he forgot the simple fact that his door has always more closely resembled a revolving one as people come and go bringing their problems with them and the Good Captain Scott Hunter fixes them as best as he can. Allowing for Kip to have the opportunity to be brought closer to Scott's hockey world and allows him to better understand what Scott is really risking in regards to coming out while still playing hockey. Also, helps to break down that Scott only sees his value in his usefulness and Kip is determined to make him understand that his value is inherent just by existing and is NOT a reward he gets from helping others.
Vaughny also pops up a lot. He's clueless but he's got heart... and tacos
