Hayden Pike wins best gay ally (against nobody) by ten_steps_away
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV)
09 Apr 2026
Tags
Summary
Hayden didn't know exactly how to support your gay best friend who is married to his long time ex-rival, but he thinks he's doing a pretty damn good job at figuring it out. But he can never be too much of an ally, and if it takes finding out his best friends sexual preferences to support him, then Hayden is prepared to make that sacrifice
ft. Hayden getting involved in hollanov top/bottom twitter discourse, vaguely helpful online articles and lots and lots of incorrect opinions (that may need correcting)

Summary
They watch him flounder for a few more embarrassing seconds before he finally gets it off and hops on. Max lets him ride away for a few seconds before she sighs heavily, rubbing the bridge of her nose. "Please don't tell me I'm the only one who thinks that Mike has been acting really fucking weird lately."
or; Mike Wheeler is having some trouble juggling his responsibilities and his desire to spend time with his boyfriend. I'm sure this won't go badly at all

Summary
It was mostly busy work anyway. He would pile himself into his car with a short list of people and drive around the neighbourhood, attending to mind-numbing noise complaints and spending half an hour trying to get out of a conversation with the old man that lived on the corner of Kerley.
or; Hopper thought his day was going to be quiet, before he finds Will crumpled up in some side street. He helps him, and maybe grows a little closer with the kid.

Summary
'Will avoids Mike's wide eyes, trying to keep the blush from his cheeks. "The King would never agree." He points out.
"You underestimate my powers of persuasion." Mike says, grinning. "Just leave it to me."
"For the record, I still don't think this is a very good idea." Will mumbles.
"That's not a no."
Will glares at him. He had never been much good at saying no to Mike. "I guess not."'
Will has been training as a Cleric for as long as he can remember, and for all that time Mike has been by his side. The crown prince of the kingdom, and his closest friend. But as Mike's duties and the true meaning behind Will's powers begin to close in on them, they're forced to confront what it is they truly mean to each other, and what that means for everybody else.

Summary
It’s like a knife to the gut, seeing in real time how Mickey doesn’t trust him as much.
“I’m glad someone was there for you.” Is all Ian has as he tries to stop his eyes from watering.
“Yeah, you sure as hell weren’t.” He spits out, and it’s angry and mean and yeah, fuck, it’s true, isn’t it? Mickey was in here all fucking alone, while Ian didn’t even bother to visit. Spent all his time missing Mickey, but trying to forget he ever existed. At the time, it seemed the best thing for both of them. Allowing a clean break, letting them both move on.
Turns out that ‘moving on’ is a little different when one person is locked up.
Ian swallows, wiping at a tear before it has time to fall. “I know.”
“See, this is fucking why I didn’t want to talk about this.” Mickey mutters, shuffling closer in an attempt to console and help.
///
Ian and Mickey may be back together in prison, but they still have a lot to talk about so that the past won't keep hurting them.

Summary
“I wish you had gone to juvie.”
There was one of those automated clap-tracks on the television as another contestant got the question correct. Gallagher’s eyes were dark as the blue lights of the television screen threw weird shadows onto his face. Mickey wished, almost idly, that there was more lighting in the Milkovich household, if just so that Gallagher didn’t look so ominous. He picked up the remote and muted the TV.
A canon-divergent story from 1x09, in which Tony Markovich suspected foul play and coerced an unwilling Mickey Milkovich into revealing the truth about Kash Karib.

Summary
The Manchild Grows Up: An interview with comedian Richie Tozier, November 2019.
“Everyone in this industry either has a pill habit, or they can’t hold a relationship together for more than two months," Tozier explains. "Or they spend 16 hours a day arguing with people on Twitter. Best case scenario is you find a way to be reasonably well-adjusted about your desperate need for strangers to laugh at you.”
