    Summary

    The first time he saw Kip Grady, it was like a vague hum: the soft glow of initial, immediate attraction to a handsome man, letting himself test the water, a few brief words exchanged. Later, at his game, he’d been lacing his skates when the thought had occurred to him—what if Kip is watching? Attraction zeroed in on a singular focus.

    ---

    Scott and Kip break up, get back together, or: how to change your life (gradually and then suddenly).

    Summary

    ‘cause i want you to change but i never do
    so who’s hurting who
    if i keep running and running and running back to you

    - fresh blood by haiden henderson

    this is for the slow-burn haters, for the people who were devastated at the end of episode two and can't stop thinking about it, for the people who know what sub drop is and can't imagine shane not having it after that fucking incident.

    Five days after the awards in Las Vegas, Shane still carried the aftermath of a night that was supposed to be simple. Ilya, meanwhile, was very good at pretending things ended when he decided they did.

    Instead of going their separate ways for the summer, Ilya and Shane collided again at a twenty-four hour charity hockey game in New York, and the fragile routine that had kept their relationship physical, controlled, and meaningless began to collapse.

    Summary

    Kip wakes up with the light. (..). It's a little dazzling; the surprise, the view, the feel of the floodlights from the night before. He closes his eyes, letting the sunrise wash him in the memory. His cheeks still burn from smiling.

    Summary

    Yuna Hollander rounded the corner and finally came in view of the door to Shane’s hospital room. Her hand was almost on the handle when she noticed someone was already in the room, and she stopped in her tracks.

    At first she thought it might be one of Shane's teammates checking in on him, but the blonde curls at the back of the man’s head told her he wasn’t anyone she would have recognised from the Metros. Thinking about it, it made no sense, but he almost looked like—

    A clipped voice, slightly muffled by the door but with an unmistakable Russian accent confirmed her bewildered assumption. “Could have been worse,” she heard Ilya Rozanov say.

    When Ilya goes to visit Shane in the hospital in episode 5, Shane's mother sees him. They talk.

    Summary

    Inside of the bar, Kip was holding up the cake in front of his chest as the friends around him swayed from side to side, singing him happy birthday. There was Maria from the smoothie shop, two men who must’ve been Shawn and Kyle from the stories Kip had told him about them, and Elena tenderly resting her head on Kip’s shoulder.

    Scott remembered what she had told him when they danced together.

    He took a steadying, grave sigh. He was so fucking tired of being scared, and of hurting Kip because of it.

    On the night of Kip's birthday, Scott goes into the Kingfisher.
