Ok Heat Rising is the Mating March prompt for @monthlywritingchallenges

I give you Ian the pouty Alpha

https://archiveofourown.org/works/79708721/chapters/213478136

The June heat had been building all day, thick and heavy, and it made the Gallagher house feel like a slow‑cooking oven. Mickey was out with Tammy, getting coffee in the AC when his phone pinged.


A picture from Ian.


And not a normal picture. Ian was sprawled on the living room floor in nothing but boxers, a fan blasting directly at his face, one arm thrown over his forehead, the other holding a sweating glass of water like he was Maggie in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.


The caption:


I am so hot.


Mickey snorted. Of course he is. And got just body temp wise.

Day 14: Heat Rising

The house wasn’t his. Bard understood that immediately. He was standing in a narrow hallway, with white walls—too white—lit by a yellowish light coming from a small round ceiling lamp. The floor was covered with pale tiles, cold under his feet. The doors lined along the corridor were all closed, and there was a strange smell in the air, like paint and dust. He stood still. He didn’t recognize anything. This wasn’t Greenwood. It wasn’t any house he had ever known either. It didn’t resemble a dwelling from Middle-earth at all, as if he had somehow stepped into a parallel world. The walls were too straight, too smooth. The ceiling too low. There were no beams, no wood, no windows opening onto the forest. Something was wrong. A thought imposed itself abruptly. Thranduil. Bard turned his head.

“Thranduil?”

Challenge, lol. The prompt for @monthlywritingchallenges and Mating March. Ian’s POV

https://archiveofourown.org/works/79708721/chapters/213111391

We’d been sort of fighting, or maybe just loudly disagreeing, for like twenty minutes about the stupid carpet.

Well, “fighting” is kind of too strong a word, honestly. It was mostly Mickey, high as a kite and mad at the entire concept of spillsy, while I was trying not to lose it laughing at this huge red pizza‑sauce blotch that looked disturbingly like Joseph Stalin staring up from the beige floor like he owned the place.

He stood there, hands on his hips, glaring down like the stain.

Day 13: “Don’t touch me”

The rain was still falling when the taxi stopped in front of the house at Greenwood. Not a heavy downpour, but that fine, persistent rain that seemed to seep into everything, turning the air into a damp mist. The taxi’s headlights illuminated the dark driveway lined with trees, their branches heavy with water.

Day 12: Challenge

The house of Elrond glowed softly in the night of Rivendell. Lanterns had been hung along the stone balustrades and in the garden trees, casting golden circles over the damp grass. Music drifted out through the large open windows: an unlikely mix of ancient Elvish songs and much more modern tracks Bain had insisted on adding to the playlist.

A press release for Mated March @monthlywritingchallenges because the Heated Rivalry is over




Rivalry Retired: Boston’s Broody Alpha Ilya Rozanov Marries Montreal’s Golden Omega Shane Hollander; Hockey World Declares Truce (Reluctantly


HARBOR, OR : In a development that has stunned both hockey fans and gossip columnist’s alike, Ilya Rozanov, the famously broody, rage‑baiting forward for Boston, has officially claimed and married Shane Hollander, Montreal’s beloved golden omega and unofficial team morale officer. Sources say the pair had been secretly dating for ten years before Rozanov, provoked by a jealous episode involving rival alpha Rose Landry, produced a 5 carat ring and a claim mark at last weekend’s private ceremony.


“This ends the heated rivalry,” announced an anonymous league insider with a conspiratorial wink. “Mostly because everyone is too busy cooing.”

Day 11: Marked/Claimed

The house was asleep.

Greenwood had that deep quiet of late nights, when even the forest seemed to have calmed. Through the slightly open window, cool air drifted softly into the bedroom, carrying with it the damp scent of trees. Moonlight drew pale bands across the sheets.

Mating March Prompt: Standing Between

https://archiveofourown.org/works/79708721/chapters/212765386

A rewrite of 3x6 where Terry gets what he deserves.

Thank you @monthlywritingchallenges for this month of fun!

Terry snarled into the phone, “Send the Russian.”

Ian’s head was so smashed it felt like someone had shoved a live wire straight through his skull. The room tilted every time he tried to focus, but none of that mattered because right there, right in front of him, Mickey was slumped against the wall, breathing rough, cheek split open, and Terry was in his face, screaming like the prick he was.

RIVAL is today’s prompt for @monthlywritingchallenges and Mating March.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/79708721/chapters/212648431

Ilya and Rose have dinner; what could go wrong?

Shane knew the night was already doomed, like cursed from the second Rose Landry came clicking toward their table in those murder‑weapon heels that could puncture a tire or possibly a man’s fragile ego, whichever was closer. 

“Hello, Shane,” she said, voice all honey and claws, leaning in to brush her lips against his cheek like it was a staged act, and maybe it was.

Ilya’s jaw made a sound, an actual click, so sharp the poor salt shaker trembled like it feared for its small glass life.

Shane hissed under his breath, “Please, just… behave, okay?”

“I am behaving,” Ilya muttered, except he clearly wasn’t. “This is me behaving.”

Day 9: Rival

The port was still busy despite the late hour. The light of the late afternoon gilded the hulls of the boats and the wooden planks of the dock. The air smelled of salt, damp wood, and warm diesel. Seagulls circled lazily above the dark water, crying now and then. Ropes creaked against the masts, and the engines of a few boats still vibrated faintly in the air.

Shane lay face‑down on his nest , half buried in blankets, phone buzzing against his cheek. He was exhausted, the last few games had been hard wins and on ice fights.


A message popped up.


Ilya: You are tired, zaychik. I can almost smell it from here.🛌


Shane squinted at the screen.


Shane: You can smell me through text now? That’s a new superpower.


Another buzz.


Ilya: Da. Your sleepy scent is strong. Honey and chamomile and that tea you like. Rise. Like warm air.
