Summary
Maybe with Kevin away in Rockford, Connor can get his feelings under control. At the very least, he doesn’t have to worry about facing them, confronting them, doing anything about them. Because what’s he really going to do - call Kevin and tell him that he misses him? That every day he walks into practice and Kevin isn’t in the locker room he feels the pit of sadness in his stomach expand a little wider? That at the start of every game when he’s skating during warmups, and he doesn’t have Kevin to spin off of into the boards, it makes his heart ache in such an intense way he has to stop for a moment because it feels like a physical pain piercing his chest?
That nothing is the same, and everything feels so much worse without him?
[Set between April and December 2024, Kevin gets assigned to the AHL out of training camp, only to get recalled by the Blackhawks months later. Which would be completely and wholeheartedly amazing - if Connor hadn't almost kissed him the last night of their rookie season.]

Summary
Quinn tries his best to appear happy, or happy enough that no one questions him. It’s not like he’s sad, exactly - he’s overjoyed for his brother to be drafted and so proud of him for going fourth overall. Just like he was beside himself when Jack went first overall.
The issue is… well, the issue is complicated. It’s mostly jealousy, mixed with a heaping scoop of loneliness and a sprinkle of insecurity. Jealous that his brothers will get to play together, lonely because they’ll be together without him, and insecure because - well, first and fourth overall. Not seventh.
So he pastes a smile on his face and knows that no one will look deeper because no one ever does look deeper at him. Even if he wasn’t smiling, they’d probably just think it was normal, because Quinn being serious or unhappy is normal. Jack’s the one with boundless energy and enthusiasm, and he’s certainly showing that now, and Luke takes after Jack more than Quinn, though a bit more toned down than Jack’s golden retriever demeanor. He’s practiced at putting up a facade, pretending things don’t matter to him when they actually do, setting aside his own wants and needs for his brothers’.

Summary
A name-on-wrist soulmate AU where being outed by a same-sex name is still newsworthy if you're in professional sports and is a very real concern for some NHL players. Despite the shifting attitudes, no one in the sport has ever come out publicly.
Tyler has always felt relieved that 'Jamie' could be a male or female name, it makes hiding his sexuality a lot easier. Jamie's not been so lucky.
