    Summary

    There are so many things that are frustrating about being in the NHL. The list could rival the list of files the USA has marked ‘top secret.’ Everything from missed calls to injuries on plays to trades that team management forgot to inform the player about until it’s basically time to be on ice for the game. Even more frustrating than all of those things is being gay in the NHL and trying to figure out what other players share the same orientation.  As a baseline, the behaviors at a glance are already so queer. Is that player that just smacked your ass hitting on you or congratulating you on a great goal? Being naked is a requirement of showering, wandering eyes are only natural. The lines are so blurred, each act blending in to the next. So how the hell does one player express interest in another? Where is the line drawn between a celly and wanting to throw someone onto your bed and show them a true celly?

    Summary

    Dylan Strome wasn’t immune to the rumors, but this one always sounded too out-of-this-world to be true. He’s seen his fair share of strange Guides, but a dragon? Dragons weren’t real. At least, that’s what he thought before he was traded to the Washington Capitals, where the rumors started. And as he adapts to the feral chaos of his new team, he finds himself searching for this dragon, with no help from his teammates, who made it known on day one that their lips were sealed.

    On top of all that, Dylan gets a little too close to Tom Wilson. He tells himself that it’s only natural for cat hybrids to confide in one another, as their Guides are typically more elusive than others. Plus, Tom is warm. Very warm. Too warm to be a regular cat, Dylan thinks.

    Summary

    Travis has been here before. He knows how this is going to play out, and, to be honest, he doesn’t really want to be the audience to everything slowly veering off-course until it bursts into dramatic flames.

    It’s almost eerie how similar the two situations are. Watching Trevor bounce around the locker room, Travis can see himself from seven years ago. He likes to think he’s matured over the past few years, but Trevor’s overactive mouth and seemingly endless energy aren’t far off from where Travis is at right now. Jamie, on the other hand, is Trevor’s perfect foil; quiet and subdued, pulling Trevor back from crossing the line, matching the overdone enthusiasm with a sense of calm - exactly as Nolan had been for Travis.
