Summary
These are all little slices of life from before, after, and during the events of The Papergirl. It's focused on Dom and Kele's relationship (obviously; it's in the title) and not always canon-compliant. They're usually just little ideas that pop up in my head, so they don't always line up with each other. None of them are really complete, but I will intermittently add to them.
I'm coming back to this to update and rearrange and stuff and I wanted to add on-- some of these suck. they do, and that's okay, because writing these in any capacity, whether they suck or not, brings me happiness. I created these characters and the lives they live and they can suck sometimes, just like our own real lives sometimes suck. -

Summary
Kele Greenwood is struggling to figure himself out in the span of his high school career. Dominic Malachi, the only out gay guy in the entire high school, becomes an unlikely friend. Coi Greenwood stands by her brother's side through it all, mostly to smack him upside the head whenever he does something stupid.
Three years, an abundance of unlikely friends, and a hot tub don't even begin to describe the amount of insanity one group of people can face. Friendships are gained, some are lost, most stay the same. Secrets are revealed, feelings are expressed, and lots of tears are shed, both of sadness and laughter. As much as high school sucks (and it really, really does), there are always bright spots.

Summary
Wyatt’s gaze shot up and it was like one of those moments in a fucking movie or something.
Because the person bursting through the door like an absolute tornado at two in the morning was Shane Hollander. The man looked sweaty. And breathless. And panicked. No, haunted. His eyes were wide and tortured, chest heaving like he’d run here from Canada.
What was he doing here in Tampa and not in Canada?
Oh. OH. Oh shit.
OR
**Spoilers for Book 6: The Long Game - Canon-Divergence**
What if when the Centaurs plane trouble occurred, Shane immediately jumped on a flight to Tampa?

Summary
When the unsentimental financial imperative of the NHL sees Shane traded to the Boston Raiders, he and Ilya are thrown into closer extended proximity than ever before. As they adjust to life as teammates, they are forced to contend with the nature of their relationship -and must answer for themselves: is it even a relationship at all?
____Sliding down the wall, Shane hunched over his untied sneakers, shoved on hastily when Coach had called him in for a meeting after morning skate.
“Boston wanted you specifically. I’ve already spoken to their GM. You’re flying this evening or tomorrow morning: I’ll confirm once the paperwork clears.”
“Mom,” Shane managed.
“Oh sweetie. I know, okay. Those fuckers, how dare they do this! Two fucking cups! Now all of a sudden they decide they want a reset and you’re going to fund it.”
Shane put his head between his knees and tried to breathe. God, Boston. They hated him there; it was so far away; he was fucking their captain.

Summary
For Shane Hollander, life has always been about playing a part. On the ice, he plays the best (or second best, depending on who you ask) hockey player in a generation. With his family, he plays the role of golden boy - kind and resilient and responsible. Even with Ilya, Shane has a part to play; reliable, happy, secure.
But after the big move to Ottawa and a summer full of life changes, Shane can't catch his footing. This is supposed to be the start to the best chapter of his life – so why does he feel like he's drowning?
Or:
Shane Hollander-Rozanov navigates an Autism diagnosis during his first season as an Ottawa Centaur.
