    Summary

    Jack wonders when Kent started asking so many questions that he doesn't have the answers to. It felt so much easier when neither of them asked any at all.

    Summary

    Kent can’t help it. He starts to laugh. This whole situation is fucked. He should have stayed in Boston. He should never have left Vegas in the first place. He’d figured it would be awkward to see Jack at the party, but he didn’t think he’d end up freezing to death with the guy in Vermont. He guesses there’s a certain sick poetry to that. Every time he’s made a calculated risk involving Jack, he’s gotten burned. He’s not accounting for all the variables correctly, like the fact that the universe hates him.

    “Kent.” Jack’s hand lands heavily on his back. He shakes him. “Come on. Kenny. Get it together.”

    “I’m going to kill you,” says Kent, into his hands. “I am literally going to murder you, Jack Zimmermann.”

    “No, you’re not,” mutters Jack. “You need me for body warmth.”

    Or: Kent gets invited to the book launch for Bad Bob's autobiography. Things don't exactly go as planned.

    Summary

    Beneath the table, Jack’s hand squeezes around Kent’s knee. And -- Kent forgets. For just a few seconds, he forgets that they can’t be together, that Jack doesn’t want him in that way, that he’s trying to move on.

    “We’re friends, right?” Jack says.

    “Yeah, Zimms,” he says. “We’re friends.”

     

    Or: Kent and Jack are friends, then friends-with-benefits, then maybe something more. Kent isn’t sure.

    Summary

    2 figures stand at centre ice.
    Figure A wears a red sweater. His hockey stick is balanced across his knees, gaze lowered. He is utterly still.
    Figure B is clad in navy blue. He sets his stick on the ice in front of Figure A for a moment, before skating in a tight circle, rolling his shoulders gracefully, and returning his position in front of Figure A.
    Figure A holds his stick a little tighter, placing it just above the ice. His face is tense, but patient. He is still, tensed like a spring pressed all the way into a coil, ready to be let go.
    Figure B holds himself loosely, casually, and an easy grin flits over his face.
    "Hey Zimms."
    "Hey, Kenny."
    Part One: The QMJHL days and a teenage love(?) story with a violent expiry date.
    Part Two: After the draft- Zimms without Parse, Parse without Zimms
    Part Three: Kent Parson Always Goes First- a reunion
    I will note fluffiest/sexiest chapters for you suckers so you can skip to those parts if you aren't into reading allllll of it (I know you people).

    Summary

    Sometimes it feels like Kent is a compass needle and Jack is his Northern point. Or something. Maybe he's just bad at metaphors or maybe he'd just like some closure, but Kent finds it hard to forget about Jack.

    Or; Kent Parson learns how to live without Jack Zimmermann, and with him. Or maybe he just learns how to live.

    Written for the Check, Please Big Bang 2016!

    Summary

    From the way Fedorov is watching them expectantly, it's clear that he has no idea who they are or their relationship to each other, which is certainly a first.

    Kent looks like he's about to correct him, but Jack is hit with a wave of awkwardness. What would Kent even say? We're friends. We've met before. We planned for the exact situation you're in, once upon a time. We're cynical about love because we hurt each other so many times, and sometimes it was over that.

    Before Kent can say any of it, and they go back to being people who avoid each other at parties, Jack blurts out, "Jack Zimmermann, nice to meet you," and holds out his hand.

    Or, Jack and Kent are re-introduced, and pretend they don't know each other.

    Summary

    Kent is managing just fine. Sure, he misses Jack enough that he hasn't had feelings for literally anyone since him, and yeah, he doesn't really have anyone he calls a friend, and maybe he gets high alone in his apartment more often than most people would consider healthy, but it was fine. No big deal. He was kicking ass at hockey, the media loved him, and he was pretty fucking good at keeping up appearances.

    Or: Kent Parson is convinced to give therapy a shot, and eventually, it's maybe the best thing he's ever been talked into.

    Summary

    “Everything feels like the end of the world when it happens. No one can see the future, so it’s hard to believe it exists.”

    Kent's dad wasn’t always right, but he was right about that.

    Summary

    In the summer of 2006, Jack Zimmermann and Kent Parson were drafted onto the same QMJHL team.

    In 2009, Kent Parson went first in the NHL draft.

    In 2016, Jack Zimmermann came out.

    Theirs was not a love story, and neither is this. That, at least, is what they both say when asked.
