    Summary

    Kevin has been working. Working on himself, that is. He's realizing, now that it's all over, that there are certain parts of himself that he's ignored, parts between the extremes of not feeling anything and feeling so strongly it consumes him. Kevin tries to find himself in the middle ground, even though the world doesn't seem to want to give him the respite he needs to do it.

    (An exploration of Kevin's character and his relationships with his friends, father, and sexuality)

    Summary

    According to the team, Andrew is currently losing a custody battle for Neil against a sport invented by the mafia.

    It’s a running joke in the locker room: Neil cares about Exy, and then, distant second, he cares about breathing. Andrew is somewhere on the list, probably below the new backliner spread Kevin found.

    Andrew doesn't bother correcting them. He knows the difference between a distraction and a destination. He knows Neil runs until his lungs burn to keep the ghosts quiet, but he also knows exactly whose bed Neil crawls into when the adrenaline fades.

    (Or: 5 times the team thought Neil loved the sport more than the goalkeeper, and one time Neil made the hierarchy terrifyingly clear.)

    Summary

    Neil is a math nerd who, by a stroke of dumb luck, falls into a group of friends that are the closest thing to family he’s ever had. So, when he tells them about his new mysterious crush, he shouldn’t be surprised how immediately they come up with a plan to help win them over. One they insist that if Neil follows it, he’ll have them falling for him in no time. But things don’t always go to plan – or do they?

    Nicky wants to set him up with someone else. Matt and Jeremy are confused but supportive. Allison and Seth offer lewd suggestions, while Dan does her best to keep everyone in line. Jean and Renee know something, Aaron doesn’t really care, and Kevin just wants Neil to join the lacrosse team.

    But one thing’s for certain – whether Neil’s successful or not, everyone’s got money riding on this.
