Fics like I Need You (to Make the World Seem Fine)

“Ilya is my best friend. There is no rivalry. At all. The media can spin whatever they want, but that’s not who we are. He will always be my biggest fan, and I will always be his. There’s no animosity between us and there never will be. End of story.” —— The media wanted a bitter rivalry. Instead, Shane and Ilya gave the league the finger and became inseparable, obnoxiously affectionate best friends. And maybe, unbeknownst to them, stupidly in love too. As the microscope and pressure of the league increasingly suffocate Shane, he must also now navigate love and a relationship underneath it. But when targeted violence shatters their world in a single night, Shane is forced to confront the traumatic grief of the golden boy he used to be, his sanctuary turning into a cage, and the painful freedom of change — leading to a journey of healing, self-discovery, and a choice that shocks the world. (No one dies or is permanently injured, I promise. Guaranteed HEA.)
