    Summary

    "I don't mean to come here and freak you out," Scott said, though he knew there was no avoiding it. He'd been where they were before. It had felt like he was dying, back then. "I just don't want you to think you're the only ones, okay? There's lots of us."

    Their eyes snapped to him in unison, startled and intense. Hollander croaked, "What?"

    "There's over sixteen hundred guys in the MLH and AHL," he reminded them, because it had felt improbable to him when he first heard until he remembered the sheer size of the hockey world. "There's — well, we don't know how many of us there are, but there's at least seventeen of us that know each other. Plus you two. We watch out for each other."

    His eyes enormous, Hollander asked, "There's, what? A secret underground gay hockey network?"

    Scott shrugged. "Yeah, basically."

    ----

    Ilya and Shane find their way into The Tennis Club, a network of closeted hockey players that hook up - so long as everyone keeps it casual. Which is no problem! They can do casual, right?

    Summary

    Bobby clears his throat, flustered. “Nothing you say will convince me to let you engage in PDA in this firehouse.”

    “But outside of the firehouse is okay?” Buck pitches. “Like, for instance, in the engine?”

    “Absolutely not,” Bobby says sternly. Buck deflates. “Just… find it within yourselves to be professional for the rest of the shift. Please.”

    “It’s okay, Cap,” Eddie says, with a smile equal parts charming and reassuring. “We’ll behave. Right, Buck?”

    “Yeah,” Buck agrees— not because he wants to, but because he’s pretty sure he would do anything Eddie ever told him to. “What’s another 46 hours?”

    Or: Buck, Eddie, and their first shift as a couple.

    Summary

    No serious hockey fan or sports commentator worth their salt would have considered record-breaking Boston superstar Ilya Rozanov to be Shane Hollander’s rival exactly, but sleeping with a man who had a specific offense-related vendetta against him and a wrist shot like a jet engine to back it up was probably ill-advised just the same.

    Or, Shane is a goalie. Ilya can’t score.

    Summary

    He stopped in front of her, like he didn't know what to say. Fiona just stared at him. Lip stirred beside her.

    "You got a baby," he said.

    "Two," she replied, chin jerking toward Lip.

    He blinked. Then, slowly, he dropped his bag and unzipped it. He pulled out a sandwich, squished, half-eaten, wrapped in a crumpled napkin, and held it out to her.

    "You can have the rest," he said. "It's peanut butter. No jelly."

    Fiona hesitated. Her stomach twisted with hunger, but she'd been taught not to trust strangers, even if they were small and sad-looking like her. Still... a sandwich was a sandwich.

    She reached out and took it.

    "Thanks."

    He sat down next to her on the curb without asking. Just dropped his backpack by his feet and let out a sigh like someone twice his age.

    "I'm Evan," he said, picking at the edge of his sneaker sole.

    "Fiona."

    Summary

    “My dick is gone,” Eddie says, hushed but frantic.

    Buck splutters, wide unblinking eyes still glued to Eddie’s crotch, eyebrows knit together harshly and dragging high on his forehead. Eddie would laugh at his ridiculous face if he didn’t feel like he was going to throw up. “It’s not gone, you have a—”

    “Don’t say it,” Eddie warns weakly.
    ------
    Eddie wakes up with the wrong equipment. Buck is actually pretty normal about it, until he isn't.
