Summary
After a record-breaking year and a blindsiding trade, MLB pitcher and 2024 Cy Young winner Tyler Joseph is going into the 2025 season alone. Josh is two thousand miles away wearing different colors, catching for a different team, and Tyler is supposed to pretend like it doesn’t matter. He’s got a rotation to lead and 162 games to survive, even if the most important person in his life isn’t there.
Now Josh is gone, the season is starting, and the distance between them just gets wider and wider. All while navigating a sport that demands silence from players like them.

Bookmarker's Notes
“ He turns back around, attempting to block out the sight of all the disappointed fans’ faces in the stands. A part of him—the part comforted by routine and well-trodden paths—expects to see Josh behind the plate. Communicating in their language that has gone far beyond words to urge Tyler to forget the play and focus on the next one.
Instead, it’s Chris, the very person Josh had been called up to replace, giving Tyler a look of pure pity. His jaw clenches involuntarily, irritation bubbling up in his chest. He refuses to acknowledge it; just holds up his glove, asking for a new game ball.”

Summary
“Should call you the Ottawa Puppies,” says the Toronto centre, Svensson. As an insult it makes no sense, so Ilya ignores it, until he continues, “Hear Hollander keeps you on a short leash.”
Ilya is the captain, so if anything, he should be holding the leash. In English, you can be singular or plural, but he knows what Svensson is trying to say. He is saying Ilya Rozanov, you are Hollander’s bitch.
“Only sometimes,” Ilya replies, grinning. He wins the face off.
OR: Ilya trains himself to be a very, very good guard dog for Shane.

Summary
Eddie swipes the wand beneath his eye, fast and mostly smooth. He leans back from the mirror, assessing his reflection, and smudges lightly at the ink.
“One down,” he says, mostly to himself. Steve doesn’t say anything.
He’s thinking about girls at their bathroom mirrors and bedroom vanities. Dates or one night stands or whoever else, messing with their hair and poking at their lipstick and making faces. Fixing whatever Steve had made a mess of the night before.

Bookmarker's Notes
“I think this is a bad idea,” Steve confesses.
“Whatever, I don’t care.” Eddie shrugs, sort of awkwardly, and cocks his head. “Do you?”
The thing twisting around inside Steve’s ribcage is closely associated with the habit of caring. He knows that much about himself, and he thinks Eddie, by now, should probably know that too.
But eventually he lifts his opposite hand just beneath Eddie’s mouth, and, instead of answering, he says—
“Spit.”

Summary
The terrible thing was that Shane wanted Rozanov about as much as he ever remembered wanting anything, maybe even more.

Bookmarker's Notes
(Later, when Shane ran into Rozanov in the gym, he tried really goddamn hard not to think about the way that Rozanov was looking at him—the way he had looked back, helpless to the draw of his gaze. It didn’t matter. There were things that Shane was not allowed to want. And still he felt the brush of Rozanov’s fingers like lightning all the way up his arm.)

Summary
Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”
“Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.
“No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”
“Go fuck yourself.”
+++
Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.
And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?

Summary
Zugzwang: a situation in chess where any legal move a player can make is ultimately disadvantageous, leading to inevitable loss.
__Silence clung to the room like a held breath. Shawn turned, staring again at the too-still apartment. The half-knocked-over furniture. The open air of something unfinished, something waiting. He mulled over the implications. He imagined to himself what he knew for certain to be true.
He could almost hear it.
Jessica’s voice, rising in panic.
A crash.
And then- nothing.
Shawn’s fingers curled slightly, and for once, the usual glint of amusement in his eyes dulled.
“No,” He muttered, and denied the only thing he knew for certain not to be true, “She wasn’t alone.”

“Josh,” he paused, turning the topic over in his head. Was he really going to put himself on display like that? The alternative, of course, was to continue to spiral completely alone. “You ever see Groundhog Day?”

Summary
Jayce rubs his temples, glancing between the different diagrams of the anomaly. “Right, just to clarify: you’re saying that a version of me from the future appeared, destroyed our lab, tried to kill you and then demanded you blow up the Hexgates. And you actually want to do it. Am I missing anything?”
Viktor hesitates, before throwing caution to the wind. Unreserved honesty will prevent any miscommunication later. “You also kissed me.”
Jayce’s head whips around. “I— What?”
“You - he - kissed me. And…” Viktor trails off, gesturing vaguely - uncertain of how much he should reveal. He’s always seen sex rather candidly, never understanding Piltover’s insistence on maintaining taboo; but out of consideration for Jayce, it seems polite to keep the details to himself.
His hand motion must convey more than enough. Jayce flushes from the crown of his head to his Adam’s apple, and buries his face in his hands.

Summary
The earring that Hoffman had oh-so-kindly left in Strahm’s apartment, the one that Strahm had almost feverishly shoved through the unbroken, virgin skin of his ear lobe, had infected Strahm’s ear to the point that even the breeze brushing against it as he walked to the corner store and back was horrendously painful. He’d had worse injuries, his throat still killed, but the dull, poisonous throb of his ear was getting to him a little bit. A reminder that he was a horny, lust addled man who split his own skin apart for Mark Hoffman, of all people. It didn’t help that he couldn't stop fiddling with it either.
~
Strahm can't seem to find himself any place other than within the concentric circles that Hoffman winds around him. But at least his film collection is there to soften the embarrassment and blows.

It's like having a curtain pulled back on something he wasn't expecting to see. A surprise punch-and-judy at an up-scale restaurant, a lobster thermidor when he's ordered an ale.
Crowley's gleefully trying to wrap his head around the fact that Aziraphale is speaking Polari. Because of course he is.
Or: The Patron Saint of London's LGBT Community is real, and he lives in Soho.

Summary
This is to say that he’s sitting at the bartop, nursing an eggnog and half-listening to the convoluted story Fak is yelling into his ear, and just absolutely staring at Sydney from across the room. She’s with Sugar, watching karaoke and eating one of the ricotta and roasted grape crostinis he made earlier today (they really should’ve hired a caterer). She’s nodding, eyes wide at whatever Nat tells her and Carmy irrationally decides it must be some dig at him- it’s not a totally far-fetched notion.
Her arms are bare, a rare sight, and it feels stupidly scandalous.
___
She’s trying not to notice him.
She really is- she’s trying to enjoy the karaoke and the hors d'oeuvres and the story Natalie’s telling her. But Sydney can feel Carmy’s eyes on her from across the room like a sixth sense and it’s really fucking distracting. It’s becoming an issue really, the staring. Sydney can’t tell if he’s really that obvious about it or if she’s just hyper aware of everything he does (either is equally likely)- but whatever the case, she can feel his eyes like strobe lights on her back as she bites into her crostini.Series
