    Summary

    In time, he almost forgot what he had once been able to do. Water was his most ardent foe, not an ally. Water was the bodymen’s boats, Reaper’s Barge, and Jordie’s corpse. The water had given, and could give him, nothing that he wanted. It would make no bargain with him that could be worth it– so he would not try. He eked out his fortune and his revenge with every bloody punch and petty swindle and broken bone. He ignored the hiss and slap of the filthy water in the canals that wended through the city, the roar of the waves at the harbour that smashed boats to pieces, the sinuous curl of the mist on wet nights that got you jumped if you weren’t paying close enough attention. The Ketterdam water had a touch of the mocking about it– a determination to be as awful and monstrous and polluted as he was. But Kaz didn’t need a reminder of what he’d become. The water had his brother; it would not have him, too.

    Assuming Kaz was a Tidemaker; what, then?

    Summary

    He knew that the president wouldn't call him over nothing. But he let himself hope, for a moment, that it was just a courtesy call, a quick update before the big night. For one, brief, shining moment, John let himself believe in a perfect world.

    Summary

    Montreal comes into Ottawa looking for blood.

    They get a rookie with a mouth on him instead.

    It’s supposed to be just another tight, physical game against the Voyageurs. Hard checks, ugly chirps, Rozanov bleeding a little for dramatic effect, the usual. Shane thinks he’s prepared. Ilya is, as always, one mildly illegal hit away from throwing hands. Bood is having the time of his life.

    No one, however, is prepared for Luca Haas.

    Nineteen. Polite. Painfully earnest. Carries art supplies in his backpack. Has never had an on-ice fight.

    Until he does.

    A story about rivalry, locker room insanity, rookie feral awakenings, and the exact moment Ottawa realizes their baby has teeth.
