    Summary

    “What is there to talk about?”

    “What’s there to talk about?!” Hollander scoffed, shaking his head. “You’re playing for my fucking team!”

    “I know.”

    “Why did you have to go and get traded?! You realise we’re going to have to see each other every day from now on, and play together, and-”

    “Yes,” Ilya interrupted. He didn’t want to know how long Hollander’s list was. “I know.”

    Hollander took a deep breath. “Okay, listen,” he said. “Just so we’re clear - we don’t know each other outside of playing against each other, right?”

    “Right.”

    “And we can’t- can’t hook up anymore.”

    ~

    OR: Ilya gets traded to Montreal in October 2014. He's lonely, and angry, and he misses Boston. He doesn't know if it helps that Hollander is there or not.

    Summary

    [Pre-crash / No crash AU]

    They've been best friends since childhood, but Shauna has two massive secrets she keeps from Jackie: That she's desperately in love with her, and that she also deeply resents her.

    With a few months left until their high school graduation and Nationals on the table, everything changes for Jackie and Shauna when Jackie breaks up with Jeff and one of their usual late-night makeouts crosses a line that can't be un-crossed. As their friendship turns sexual, Shauna tries to decode what it all means while she waits for an acceptance letter from Brown and hopes to leave Jackie—and the feelings she's always had for her—behind.
