   Summary

   Shane's life has been upended in the aftermath of his departure from the Voyageurs. Signing with the Centaurs should have calmed his anxiety and assuaged his fears, but he's still struggling with just how thoroughly his life has changed. Having to navigate a new team and new management for the first time in over a decade makes everything so much worse. Luckily for him, the Centaurs are committed to making him feel as safe and welcomed as they can.

   Or, 5 times Shane Hollander struggles with being around the Centaurs and the feelings they leave him with and the 1 time he's able to fully relax around them

   (this could probably be read as a standalone, but you'll miss out on some context if you do)
