    Summary

    Clairvoyant.

    A person who claims they can see spirits or ghosts, also known as mediums or psychics. Or sensitive, as Quinn Hughes had heard being used to describe him multiple times when he was younger.

    It wasn’t meant to be an insult; it was just the easiest way to explain why he was claiming to see things, or people, that weren’t there. Especially when the excuse of him being a toddler didn’t pass anymore. So, it was a childhood full of hearing:

    “I’m sorry. Quinn’s just a bit sensitive.”

    “Quinn, you’re just being sensitive. There’s nothing there.”

    Or whatever other phrasing his parents could use to explain why their oldest son was crying about seeing ghosts.

    --

    Or what happens when Quinn changes teams and must let his new teammates know about his ability to see ghosts?

    Summary

    “I always like this better when you do it,” Shane says, panting a little as he works himself open on his own fingers.

    “I could,” Ilya insists, and his nails are digging so hard into his palms it hurts. “Just untie me and I will—"

    Shane shakes his head. “Not a chance,” he laughs breathlessly. “How often do I get to see you like— oh, fuck— like this?”

    OR:
    Shane ties Ilya up and rides him. That's it, that's the fic.

    Summary

    He caught his lip between his teeth, trying too hard not to think as thinking would put an end to their conversation. “You know the hotel that they usually put away teams in?” This was a bad idea.

    Kaprizov just nodded beside him, so he continued, “I’m in room 1012. I’ll be back by ten.”

    ----

    “You actually came,” was the first thing he said to him off the ice.

    “And you actually gave me right room number.”

    Summary

    When you’re dedicated to going unseen, it’s jarring to be noticed. Like someone flipping the lights on when you thought you were safe in the dark. Moving to Minnesota, trading in his C for a regular jersey, Quinn was ready to slip into the background like a movie extra. He didn’t want to be the team; he just wanted to be part of one.

    But there is Kirill. Staring at him with an eager smile. His blonde hair sticking to his forehead and curling up around his ears. His cheeks flush. He’s looking so intently at Quinn that it feels like he’s x-raying him.

     

    OR

    Recently traded Quinn Hughes is determined to fade into the background in Minnesota. He’s done being Superman. He wants peace. Enter Kirill Kaprizov, alternate captain, serial double texter, who may be able to give Quinn some.

    Summary

    “Apparently they’ve been fucking since their rookie year!” The ghost was a persistent fucker if nothing else. Then the words processed and Quinn’s brain bluescreened at the knowledge that the sport's biggest rivalry was apparently just foreplay and stumbled over Mitty’s skates, bonking his head on the back of his locker cubicle.
    ----
    What if Quinn and his ghosts existed in the Heated Rivalry universe? What if they were there when Shane got hit by Marleau?
