    Summary

    “So that’s why I bring Violet Wickett up,” says the first, feminine voice, “because there’s two things that have defined Vi her entire career. How hard she plays as a forward, especially on defence, and her rivalry with Caitlyn Kiramman.”

    “See, if I’m Mel Medarda, I’m not even giving Wickett another glance. I’m taking Kiramman with my first pick and grabbing from the end of the Ironfist’s bench.”

    “That’s what makes this so delicious, though, Jack. Mel Medarda can get both of them.”

    --

    Hockey AU. The RHL is expanding, and both Caitlyn and Vi are up for grabs, their rivalry being a well documented storyline in the RHL for twelve years. What happens, however, when they're both taken to a new team? What happens when a relationship forged in belief of only seeing each other once in a while on road games is faced with playing beside each other every day?

    Summary

    The drinks help, their potency magnified by Alex’s intoxicating presence. Henry’s beginning to realize how very wrong he was but also how very right. He thought he knew Alex, but it turns out, beneath all the charm and charisma, the man is just hilariously odd, prone to manic rants about the most inane subjects, full of both ambition and conviction. Henry likes Alex best when he’s unfiltered, like he’s getting a peek behind the curtain. But one thing has remained true: Alex could set him on fire, and Henry’s growing closer and closer to handing over the matches himself.

     

    Hours pass in a whirl of empty martini glasses, uncouth laughter, and some of the most absurd stories Henry has ever heard. Alex’s energy is, in a word, magnetic. Late night phone calls and quippy texts have nothing on being in the man’s presence, watching his eyes light up as his runaway train of thought barrels towards the next station.

    Summary

    “Do you know where you’re going?”

    She realized it was a ridiculous question as it passed her lips, but Langdon looked at her, his eyes a little glassy, and shook his head no.

    (Mel and Langdon take each other in.)

    Summary

    Frank has never been a good sleeper. It's a blessing and a curse in turn, but he's made peace with needing less sleep than anyone he's ever met.

    And then he meets Mel King, and she changes that.

    (She changes everything.)

    OR — Over a series of late night talks, texts, FaceTimes, and maybe dates, Langdon and Mel fall in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.

    Summary

    “So you know how Abby and I are going through a rough patch.”

    Mel cocked her head. “I thought you were getting a divorce.”

    “Nah, she won’t actually go through with that. She’s just making me work for it,” Frank said, as if he hadn’t been served with divorce papers in the ED lobby through the plexiglass.

    “Ah,” said Mel.

    He took a deep breath. “So anyway, I was thinking. You’re single, I’m separated. We should be friends with benefits. Just for six months or so, until Abby takes me back.”
