Hayden Pike's Terrible Unfortunate Moment of Brilliance by booksplease
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV)
22 Feb 2026

Summary
Something terrible and profound passed through Hayden instantaneously, like a bare elbow on the ice, or one of the girls sneezing directly into his face. “Oh my god,” he said, not hearing the words until they came out of his mouth. “He’s in love with fucking Rozanov.”
Jackie’s full body flinched. A good and correct reaction, Hayden thought distantly. He was so glad he’d married her. “Baby,” she said. “What the fuck do you mean?”

It starts when Roy goes over to his sister's house and is met by Phoebe at the door, smiling and giggling in a Richmond jersey.

Summary
Fiyero Tigelaar has stood at the top of a lot of cliffs and been to a lot of parties.
Galinda Upland feels like a party. She's beautiful and perfectly expected, fun in the ways that never come close to the core of him, safe from touching him in a way that matters.
Elphaba Thropp feels like a cliff’s edge, like the promise of the drop.
Fiyero’s stood at the top of a lot of cliffs but never been brave or drunk enough to make the jump.

Summary

Summary
Every season sees Cressida spending more time on the wall, watching the dancers with an expression calculated to be the right amount of wistful but never jealous. She stands under the lights at the angle best positioned to draw attention to the gleam of her hair and her jewels and her gown, and she speaks to the young women who will make the best contrast to her, and she watches and she tries to learn.
Women adjusting their gloves and looking up at their dance partners with a smile that seems to run through their whole bodies; women sweeping around the ballroom, shivering almost imperceptibly when their hands meet their partners’; women clustering together on the edges of the room, giggling when the right man approaches them. Cressida’s attention gets caught on these smiles like a necklace on fine netting. The other young ladies tilt their heads, expose the long elegant lines of their necks, flutter fans to draw attention to their chests—all tricks Cressida learned early and learned well—and Cressida can’t look away.

Summary
“You can go, y’know, if you want-“
“Ah, no. I do not want to,” Ilya interrupts. “Stay at home with my very sexy husband who is wearing his glasses, or go out to a club filled with people who are not you? The answer is very simple, Shane.”
Shane rolls his eyes again, but he’s smiling as he saunters towards Ilya.

Summary
“I was trying to be cool about it.” The confession is a quiet whine, muffled into Shane's palms. “Go with the flow, y’know?”
It’s almost unbearable, how much Ilya adores this perfect, neurotic man. “Hollander,” he says patiently. “You have never once gone with flow. Not ever in your life.”
There is only one grey cloud in the perfect blue sky of Ilya’s summer.
His two weeks at the cottage are almost over, and Shane still hasn’t asked him to stay.

Summary
Sometimes Ilya sees Shane and all he wants to do is bite him. Not in a sexy way, although that comes and goes, too, but in a way that scares him. It’s big, how badly Ilya wants to sink his teeth into his boyfriend, shake. He wants to be tucked in Shane’s chest, all the way under his ribs, like somehow by devouring him Ilya is the one who will get to crawl inside him and live there.
Most of the time Ilya can divert this urge of his. He’ll suck marks down Shane’s neck and that will be enough, or he’ll bring Shane a snack and watch him eat it, the way his throat bobs as he swallows. But there’s something about today that makes it so when Ilya walks by Shane on the couch, he just knows none of that will work this time.
(what do you do when you love your boyfriend so bad it physically hurts you??? oh you crawl under his sweatshirt to live there)
