    Summary

    Luca Haas has a meltdown on the ice in the final five minutes of the game.

    So naturally, the best way Luca thought to rebrand was by throwing himself into a summer athlete campaign with the Centaurs, in hope to outrun the fear that he’ll never be as skilled, confident, or sexually expressive as Ilya Rozanov was at his age.

    But when the harmless Luca Haas snaps and shocks everyone by fistfighting with Filipino-Canadian youth athlete Angelo Perez, summer quickly derails into a dilemma to be seen as mature, living up to the expectations of the team, and these newfound, guilty urges for the very guy he fought on day one.

    Centaur matchmaking. Missing home. A messy summer fling. A mean article. An exploration of what sparks are supposed to feel like. And Ilya catches Luca buying condoms.

    And a “bad influence” that makes Luca feel—maybe for just one summer—that it's okay to be a little selfish.

    OR; Practically a character study of Luca Haas' insecurities + his foil to Rozanov disguised as me trying to revive the scrapped Haas book

    Summary

    “What the fuck,” Jake says flatly, because the person standing in the doorway is definitely not Michael Robinavitch.

    “Oh,” the guy on the doorstep makes, sounding as dumbfounded as Jake feels. “You are not the Doordash guy.”

    “No shit,” Jake says. “I’m Jake, I’m here for Robby.”

    “Yes,” the guy smiles faintly, “I know who you are,” and that’s when Jake realizes that he recognizes the man.

    . . .

    Four times someone found out about Robby and Whitaker, and the one time they told someone.

    Summary

    He thinks very little about the night of the assault. He thinks far too much about the morning after, about Robby’s hand on his wrist, Robby’s arm around his shoulder, Robby’s mouth against his hair, Robby’s fingers sliding a needle into his vein.

    He wonders if a therapist would call that a trauma response or a coping mechanism, and decides that he much prefers not knowing what they would say.

    Summary

    Dennis lays in the bed with a stillness so absolute it feels staged. A ventilator breathes for him in measured sighs, the sound too rhythmic to be human. It almost looks like he’s a kid pretending to sleep in the backseat of his parents’ car, hoping to be carried inside by strong paternal arms. 

    Robby would do anything for that to be the case. Instead, it is sedation that has smoothed away the sharpness from Dennis’s features.

    It is a heart attack that has made him so still. 

    Or,

    Dennis Whitaker fails to clear and gets shocked by a defibrillator. He takes it as a punishment for sinful eyes that can't seem to look away from Dr. Robby and decides not to tell anyone. The ER keeps moving, but Dennis's heart doesn't. It terribly, horribly doesn't.

    Summary

    Sometimes, very late at night, lying only a wall away from one of his closest friends, he wonders what it would be like to tell someone. Maybe it’s finally time to let someone in on even the deepest parts of himself. He falls asleep to the idea, letting the concept play out in a way that isn’t as tragic as he expects it to be in reality. Disappointment engulfs him in the morning when he knows he won’t do it anyway.

    ..

    Dennis Whitaker was sent away to a wilderness therapy camp when he was sixteen. He's only coming to terms with it twelve years later.
