    Summary

    “You know, I never saw these,” Buck says, trying to sound light.

    “You've been missing out,” Tommy says, blinking and turning a little in his seat so he's facing Buck more directly. “How—”

    “I didn't know you'd be here,” Buck admits. “Is it okay?”

    Tommy nods slowly, sliding his phone into his pocket. “Yeah, of course. How've you been?”

    Buck winces and throws a couple of kernals of popcorn into his mouth. “Okay, I guess? Actually not. I don't know, it's—I’m fine.”

    “Uh-huh,” Tommy says slowly, clearly not believing him. “Why don't you get back to me about that in a few hours?”

    “Okay,” Buck says, holding the popcorn bucket toward him. “We can share.”

    “Okay,” Tommy agrees, grabbing a couple pieces.

    --

    Buck decides to go to the movies and sees Tommy there.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov have conquered the NHL, but their biggest challenge yet is waiting for them at home: a four-month-old named Wyatt who has Ilya’s eyes and Shane’s nose.

    From the terrifying ordeal of six-month vaccinations to the heartache of missing first words over FaceTime, Shane and Ilya navigate the messy, exhausting, and perfect reality of fatherhood. But as the season wears on and the milestones fly by, Ilya realizes that being a legend on the ice is no longer enough.

    The "Long Game" is over, and Ilya is finally ready to claim his prize—not a trophy, but the life waiting for him when the buzzer sounds.

    Summary

    Four times Ilya Rozanov reminded everyone exactly who the fuck they were dealing with (spoiler: still an asshole, still elite, still not going anywhere), and one time he didn’t have to be anything except soft.

    Or being out didn’t make him nicer. Being married didn’t make him softer. Being older didn’t make him weaker. And being a father? Well. That’t when things get complicated.

    (He’s really good at that last part. Don’t tell anyone.)
