    Summary

    “I have no idea what’s going on.” He was embarrassed at the whiny note in his voice, but he couldn’t swallow it away. “I mean, the last thing I remember, I was telling my parents that I was leaving Texas. And then all of the sudden I wake up and it’s like—”

    Like some stranger named Buck had infiltrated every corner of his life. That’s what it felt like.

    ——

    Amnesiac Eddie tries really hard to hate Buck. It doesn’t stick.

    Summary

    “Ready?” Robby asks.
    “Where are we going?” Dennis asks as he moves to follow, dreading all the possible answers.
    “Home,” he says, and Dennis nearly trips on air, righting himself against the table at the last second.
    He hadn’t been expecting that.

    OR: Robby offers shelter to Whitaker after PittFest instead of Santos.

    Summary

    “Hey, Buck?” Christopher says. “How do you know you’re not in love with my dad?”

    Buck freezes. A full body clench. “Uh,” he says. “Could you - - I think I - - sorry,” he laughs uncomfortably. “Could you repeat the question?”

    “I asked Dad, but now I’m more confused. And you date men, right? But you don’t date Dad. So how do you know you don’t want to date Dad?”

     

    Or, Christopher has some questions. He asks the two worst possible people.

    Summary

    Shane loved his routine. His entire life was meticulously constructed, no detail too small to overlook, every aspect of his days were planned seemingly to the second. Living within these strict self set guidelines had driven endless results for his career as a professional hockey player: first round draft pick, rookie of the year, and captaining the Montreal Metros to two Stanley Cup Championships. His body was a machine, well nourished, fast, and strong. How he dressed that body had never been much of his concern.

    ***

    “I have a new client for you Ilyusha,” Sveta mentioned to him casually.
    “Hockey player, don’t really know anything else about him, his mom called. Shane Hollander.”
    Shane Hollander. Ilya knew him, of course he knew him. Hollander was the best player in the NHL and even though hockey was never Ilya’s true passion, he wasn’t blind, Shane possessed something special. That and he was easy on the eyes too.

    Or: AU where the stylist Shane hires is Ilya.
