Operation O Canada, or The Hollander-Rozanov Method of Soft Launching a Marriage by robbinscinquefoil
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
01 May 2026
Tags
Summary
“Can’t hang out tonight, Hayd. I have plans.”
“Bullshit,” Hayden responds. “You never have plans.”
Objectively, this used to be true. Nowadays Shane has many, many plans, between his nightly plans to look at Ilya’s penis through Skype and his various long-term plans laid out helpfully in his notebook, Canva (For Ilya’s sake. He is a visual learner), and more recently, Excel. Shane loves that excel sheet. He’s colour coded it.
In 2017, Shane Hollander spirals and proposes to his boyfriend of 4 days (or 7 years, or 9 years, or not his boyfriend at all, depending on how you look at it), which leads to a lot of plans, weird theories in the Montreal Voyageur locker room, some Twitter drama, and Ilya Rozanov entering his WAG era.

I may be bad (but I'm perfectly good at it) by gurlsrool

Summary
Hayden watches Shane, almost expecting him to go, "wow, I was hacked while we were at practice, look at these weird messages!". But no such luck. Shane smiles.
A real smile, a big one, his text from Lily smile. God, Hayden was so sure they were sending each other endless strings of heart emojis and "I miss you more" "no, I miss you more"s, not…that. Never in a million years would he have guessed that.
Or: 5 times someone's shocked to learn that Shane's a little freaky, +1 time someone isn't

“Oh,” Eddie gasped in surprise at the proximity, glancing behind Stevie to see what she was looking at. “What are you- what is going on? Is someone stalking you? You haven’t been this weird in ages.”
Nice. Stevie was being weird. Good.

She wasn't bad looking, all things considered. If it wasn't for all the tattoos, maybe-
But wait. That was right. Munson had that really awkward rumor about her, didn't she?

Summary
November 1983. Between unpaid bills, the supposedly straight jock he’s seeing, and letters from his convict dad, seventeen year old Eddie Munson’s got enough to worry about. But when Will Byers goes missing, it sparks a chain of events that will show there are more depths to Hawkins — and to certain people in it, like infamous Steve ‘The Hair’ Harrington — than he realizes.
/ or, the excessively long slow-burn in which Eddie is involved in the Upside Down from the very beginning.

Summary
'You know where you are, right?’
Steve frowns, looks at Eddie for the first time. ‘America?’
Eddie’s patience frays so hard it almost snaps. He gets hold of Steve’s face, fingers digging in hard. ‘I put my ass on the line for you, I lost money I don’t have and I’m gonna need you to snap the fuck out of this, right? We’re both gonna end up dead otherwise.’
Steve strokes the side of Eddie’s cheek. ‘Don’t be scared of dying,’ he whispers, tone melodic. ‘We’ll just try again next time.’
Kid’s lost it.
Fucking hell.
Eddie shrugs away from the touch, hisses. ‘No, see, I’m not dying for anybody, you get me? Now, I fucked up back there and I helped you so the least you can do is help me.’
‘Help you,’ Steve says, nodding slowly. ‘OK. All right.’
‘Yeah, damn fucking straight it’s all right. No more of this loopy shit. You gotta watch your back.’
Steve’s eyes are hopelessly expressive. Eddie almost wishes he’d go back to the celestial disconnect of before. ‘Watch your back. Promise.’

why does it feel like a vow by eddis

Summary
Pyrrha looked at Camilla with a question in her eyes, got some unspoken response, and added: “Also, I resent the implication that we're not already a real family. We have an absent father, somewhere between one to three kids, and are all fucked up to hell. What else do you need, the picket fence?”
“Well,” Nona said, looking mournfully at the sniper blinds, “it would be nice.”
On New Rho, public perception forces Nona's household to make their ambiguous bonds a little less ambiguous. Or: Pyrrha and Camilla get fake married.

Summary
“What if I don’t want to choose?” Keeley asked, even though she knew that was impossible. She would have to make a choice, even if it was to value her friendship with both over choosing either of them.
“What? Like date both of us at once until you figure it out?” Jamie asked.
Roy was staring at Jamie now. Or maybe glaring. It was hard to tell.
“What if I just want two boyfriends?” she asked.
She had meant it as a joke to try to lighten the mood. But as soon as the words left her mouth, she wanted to take them back.
They weren’t laughing. They didn’t look like they thought she was joking.
Set after season 3. Keeley doesn't know what to do about having feelings for both Roy and Jamie. They agree to her having separate relationships with each of them, but as time goes on the lines between Roy and Jamie get more and more blurred.

Summary
Roy hadn’t seen him the last time he was in London, eyes full of fear as his bad decisions caught up with him and kept him from returning to football. She told him to talk to Ted, thinking Ted would happily agree to sign him back to the squad. Why wouldn’t he? Richmond still hadn’t won a match, Rebecca was getting increasingly irritated with all the draws, and they were in a slump that Jamie Tartt could definitely pull them out of. She didn’t know if Jamie actually spoke with Ted, but Ted never mentioned seeing him, and Jamie never showed up at Nelson Road. She tried to ring him once to find out if he was okay. It rang and rang and eventually went to voicemail. She left him a message that was never returned.
That wasn’t like Jamie.

The One in Which a Time Loop is Fucking Exhausting. by badpancake
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
17 Jul 2022
Tags
Summary
It’s the first time in a while that he doesn’t know what comes next. He’s dove into the water hundreds of times. Screamed as his flesh was torn apart, heard Master of Puppets in the distance and held back tears. Felt Max’s cold, small hand in his as she laid in the hospital bed. There are things that always happen, no matter how hard he tries: El doesn’t arrive in time. Eddie dies. Max is put in a coma.
Steve fails. They lose.
“Steve, how many loops have you been through?”
His head is nodding, and his eyes are watery, and Eddie has approached him like a spooked animal.
“I lost count.”
AKA: The one where Steve Harrington is stuck in a time loop, and Eddie Munson is really fucking hard to save, or: fuck Volume 2, these bitches are in love.
