Summary
They’ve been back for six weeks when his Tia Pepa tells him in no uncertain terms that it is time for him to put himself back out there and begin dating again. Eddie is so thoroughly shocked by the demand that it takes him a full minute before he can splutter out denials and reasons why the timing is absolutely wrong.
He hates that she was able to catch him so off guard, especially because he’d known she was up to something the moment he’d accepted her dinner invitation. Time alone with my favorite nephew she’d said. I just missed you while you were away she’d lamented. He doesn’t doubt the truth in her words, but he’d also thrown his toolbox in the backseat of his truck, sure she had a project or two waiting for him to go with the enchiladas.
OR
Pepa knows the one for Eddie and takes matters into her own hands.

Summary
By 11 Chris is long asleep and Eddie is trying his damndest not to panic.
Without Christopher as a distraction from his worry, Eddie throws himself into keeping himself moving and busy in between checking his phone. The news is reporting on some kind of explosion downtown, but he’s been a first responder long enough to know they aren’t reporting all the details. Either deliberately so or because they don’t have the full picture. They’ve been careful not to say which stations and agencies are at the scene and even more careful not to show a station number on the engines outside the facility. But Eddie knows.

Summary
Eddie’s feet take him the rest of the way to Buck. He doesn’t think, thinking will only get him in trouble, he takes Buck’s face carefully in his hands, waits for Buck’s tiny nod of consent, and slots their mouths together.
He wonders if it should feel groundbreaking. Kissing a man for the first time. If he should feel like his very foundation is being shaken. He sort of expected it to during the moments he let himself think about it all. Usually nights when he was awake on the couch because it was Buck’s turn in the bed. Sometimes on those nights Eddie would let himself wonder what would happen if they just shared the bed and not because they were tired or someone’s chronic pain was flaring up, but because they wanted to.

Summary
I don’t want you here.
Eddie’s not sure what cuts him more. The words themself. The cold certainty with which Christopher spits them out. Or the devastation on the face of his not so little boy.
It’s not that Eddie was naive enough to think moving here was going to magically fix things between them, erase the hurt he’d inadvertently caused last spring. He knew that Christopher was still angry, but still he had hoped his son would at the very least be open to his presence.
It had been a miscalculation.
OR
Eddie moves to Texas to be with Chris. It goes as well as anyone expects.

Summary
Eddie isn’t sure what or who he expects to find on the other side of his door at 6:30 on a Tuesday morning in early January. Buck, the only person typically at his door at random hours, crashed on the couch the night before and is currently in his kitchen making French Toast and bacon for Christopher, even though, technically, they needed to have left five minutes ago if they wanted to arrive at the station comfortably on time and not in a rush. So no, Eddie, isn’t sure who he expects to find at his doorstep. Maybe his Tia Pepa, coming to spend the morning with Christopher, the Great Nephew she had missed so desperately those long months he spent in El Paso. Maybe Tia Pepa.
Definitely not his baby sister. His very pregnant baby sister.

Summary
“There’s no way you want me as much as I want you.”
Eddie scoffs. “Try me.”
“I want to, like, hold onto your ankles and never let go.”
Without missing a beat, Eddie offers: “I want to handcuff myself to you so that you can never go anywhere without me.”
Or, Buck worries about wanting too much. Eddie literally and metaphorically scoffs in his face.

Summary
“Can I ask you something?”
There’s a flash of what looks like fear that crosses Ilya's face before he sits back, his posture slightly closed off as his arms cross in front of his chest. “Depends on what it is,” he says, eyes somewhat steely.
She gets why people are intimidated by him on the ice.
“Why Ottawa?” She knows it’s something everyone has been asking, but she feels like it’s a legitimate thing to ask. “I mean, I get maybe you’re not happy in Boston, but you could have gone anywhere.”
“Not anywhere,” he says with an almost pout.
“But almost anywhere.”
He lets out a long breath of air through his nose. “I know it does not make sense, but it should not have to make sense to anyone but me.”
Kate tilts her head to the side, appraising him from across the table. “That’s not an answer.”
Ilya shrugs, but he holds her gaze steadily. “Maybe one day you will understand. But for now, know I am where I am supposed to be.”
And who is she to argue with that?
__
Or, everyone asks 'why Ottawa?' Ilya's neighbor, Kate, just happens to figure it out first.

Summary
Two years of playing together, and it still hit him every time. The casualness of it. My husband. Said out loud, in public. After years of hiding—stolen moments in hotel rooms, careful distance in public, the constant exhausting performance of just teammates, just rivals, nothing to see here—now Ilya could say it like it was nothing. Like it was easy, like it was the most natural thing in the world.
Because it was. Finally.
In which Ilya Hollander-Rozanov cannot shut up about his husband. (Subtitled: No one asked, Ilya. Ilya. No one asked.)
