Summary
Breakaway offers a thoughtful, slow-burn reimagining of Eric McNally and Sam Miller’s origin story—an emotional prequel to Breakfast with Scot.
Alternating between Eric’s closeted life as an aging NHL player and Sam’s carefully controlled world as a sports lawyer in a failing relationship, the fic explores how two men shaped by trauma, family expectations, and loneliness slowly find connection in each other.
Set in the gritty, hyper-masculine world of early-2000s professional hockey, Breakaway takes its time unpacking themes like internalized homophobia, PTSD, and the price of silence. A violent on-ice hit pulls Eric into early retirement—and into Sam’s orbit—forcing both men to confront what they really want.
With a mix of vulnerability, quiet humor, and romantic tension, Breakaway is a story about choosing love when it feels impossible, and learning to live honestly after years in hiding. For fans of mutual pining, hurt/comfort, angst, with a happily ever after that feels earned.
There will be more installments set in the movie timeline and into the future.

Scot lands what Eric is about eighty percent sure is called a waltz jump and calls from fifteen feet away, “Eric? Do you think I’m transgender?”

Eric's going to Reykjavik (Reykjavik!) to cover the World Juniors. He's taking Scot, which seemed like a good idea at the time, and Ryan, which has never seemed like a good idea to anyone ever. Plus the word's got out that he's playing for the other team.

Summary
The thing was, everyone at work knew now. For better or for worse, they were all entirely too clear on Eric's sexual orientation, if not the specifics of his relationship status. There were few who hadn't known already, according to Nula, but it was one thing to know and another to know. And yet another to be faced with it at the annual holiday party.
