    Summary

    Platonic. What a crazy word to describe them.

    (Or: Connor and Hudson have a telepathic soulmate bond and still suck at communicating their feelings, somehow).

    Summary

    Shane returns from the showers to find the locker room far more animated than when he left it. Everyone has their phones out, and when he sees Shane coming, JJ says, “Câlisse, Hollander, about fucking time! Ilya Rozanov got caught kissing a man.”


    After the tuna melt debacle, but before Rose, Ilya makes the reckless decision to go to a gay bar to take his mind off of Shane. When photographs get published, Shane has a realization and devises a plan: he's going to ask Ilya Rozanov to marry him.

    Ilya's going through enough without things he can't have being dangled in front of him. He needs to figure out a different way to avoid going home, because eventually Shane Hollander will realize what Ilya already knows: Ilya isn't worth what Shane wants to do for him.

    Summary

    Shane has always had a complicated relationship with his own body.

    It’s his biggest tool to success as a hockey player. He wouldn’t be where he is without the trust and care he puts into this own body. So he takes care of it as much as he can. He exercises regularly to keep himself fit and strong, fuels it with the best food and nutrients he can, does his best to listen to the cues his body gives him to rest. It’s a careful balancing act as a professional athlete, stretching his body to its limits while also caring for it deeply.

    Still, he can’t deny that he feels let down by it often.

    Some days it feels very unfair.

    And then some days something even worse happens and that already strained relationship he has with his own body gets even worse.

    Summary

    No matter how hard you try, pretending you didn't get married while blackout drunk doesn't mean it didn't happen.

    Summary

    I'm sorry, Hudson says.

    Why are you sorry? You haven't done anything.

    You never do. You stand right here and you see something and you feel something and you never do anything about it. You apologise and the apology is supposed to be enough. You say I'm sorry in a voice like that, with a face like that, in the cold outside a restaurant while I'm wearing your sweater and your cologne is in my lungs, and you think that constitutes having done something about the thing you can't name.

    It's just a weird night, he says instead. New city. It's cold. I'm fine.

    Connor visits Hudson in Vancouver, just before New Year's Eve.

    This is written in Sally Rooney's style (a la Normal People). If you didn't like that, you probably won't like this either.
