Summary
Will took a second to glance at Mack before forcing his eyes back down. “I had a really weird dream, but it didn’t feel like one. It felt real. Everything that’s happened today, it happened in my dream,” Will said. “It’s so dumb, I know.”
“Like Groundhog Day?” Mack asked. At Will’s flat expression, he continued. “The movie. Groundhog Day.”
“I know the fucking movie, Mack.”
Or, Will's stuck in a time loop.

Summary
“He just wants so badly for RJ to be okay. That’s it. Because if RJ’s okay then that means that Macklin’s done his job. Absorbed all of his brother’s grief and sadness like a sponge until he has it all and RJ carries none of it.
But life isn’t that simple, and grief doesn’t work like that. If you’re not careful, the blackness of it sticks to your bones, fills the cracks in your heart until you’re half human and half something else. A monstrous thing. There’s no way to absorb someone else’s sadness, not entirely. It just keeps coming, unending and all-consuming.
You have to let them feel it.”
Or,
RJ Celebrini is drafted first overall to the San Jose Sharks in 2029 and billets with veteran Will Smith (Hockey) for his rookie year. Macklin is RJ's legal guardian and brother, unravelling and rebuilding in the background of his brother's first year in the NHL.

Summary
On their first road trip of the new season, all Sam wants is to actually get some sleep. He's tired, he's grouchy, and he's sick of being woken up at night by Michael's nonstop, loud-as-fuck sleeptalking. It's worse than it was last year, somehow. Worse.
What he does not want is to find Michael standing over his bed at about three in the morning, completely unresponsive.
But who is Sam to ever get what he wants?
or;
Sam survives his trip to NYC and all he gets is tormented by his roommate's chronic sleeping problems. He finds a silver lining in it anyway.

Summary
“Ain’t no way, bro. You are fucking attached to your boys.”
“What, you think I can’t go a few days without physical contact?”
“Bet. Do a week until we play you guys down here in Philly. You win, I venmo you every time you get your iced coffee crap for a month.”
“Easiest bet ever, what the fuck.”
Or: Cole is nothing if not competitive, so when Trevor bets him that he can’t go a week without touching his teammates off the ice, he’s fucking on it.
He makes it four days.

Summary
Jay’s gaze falls back to the photograph on the mantel, the one of him and Heeseung lost in the moment, lost in the music. Lost in each other’s eyes, more than anything. Facing one another, sights secured on each other. The tension between them is like a string; a thin line that connects them, and Jay wonders what that string might look like now; if it’s even still in one piece, if it’s worn and weathered. Maybe it’s frayed at the edges, hanging on by a single thread, stretched with time and distance. Or maybe, it’s still there, invisible but intact, waiting for one of them to pull.
Wherein Jay and Heeseung are ex-bandmates; only until Heeseung, for some unknown reason, asks Jay to help with his second solo album, and hell breaks loose. Again.
