    Summary

    Shrugging one shoulder far more casually than he possibly feels, Ilya says, “I like both. Is secret, okay?”

    “Okay,” Hollander says, voice cracking.

    He doesn’t say anything else. The air’s so heavy around them that it feels like being in the middle of a scrum, the weight and heat of all those bodies pressing down on you. Danger always feels like hockey; it’s the most dangerous thing Ilya knows, except for this. Everything dangerous in his life involves men’s bodies and just how close he can get to them. Closer than he probably should.

    Nobody knows why Shane Hollander dropped out of the 2009 draft at the last second, and a year later it stuns the whole hockey world when he's signed by the Boston Raiders. Having the two biggest stars in the league on the same line is great for Boston - but playing alongside their worst rival was never exactly in Shane or Ilya's plans. Especially not when staying away from each other starts to feel just as impossible as getting along.

    Summary

    No, Ilya isn’t a martyr, but he isn’t selfish either.

    Tonight he wants to be selfish.

    Ilya wants to use Shane. He wants to use his willingness, his body, his everything to make himself feel better.

    It’s a truth. Maybe an ugly one, but one that he owes to both himself and to Shane to accept. Tonight will be about him.

    And Shane, for his part, is a willing participant in it all.

    ‘I want to be useful,’ he had said.

    Summary

    Jake hates it, is the thing—the audacity of baby, of sweetheart, of anything that sounds like a claim. Too intimate. Too much like a statement. Jake’s all about casual. The moment a pet name enters the equation, it’s thanks for the fun, see you never, onto someone who doesn’t sound so entitled to him. It’s not like he ever struggles to find a replacement.

    or; Jake's always hated being called pet names. Bradley slips past his defenses.

    Summary

    He told Mikey he wouldn't touch another pill for as long as he lived, something he's sure the guy has heard from every passing person who's entered inpatient, sat in those hard unforgiving metal chairs.

    Frank just has a devastating reason to be so terribly certain he won't.

    In the aftermath of a harsh sober reality, Dr. Frank Langdon returns to The Pitt to face whatever mess he left behind while trying not to fray apart at the seams.
