    Summary

    Hayden took a bite, chewed pensively, then asked, “So, where are you going?”

    Shane felt his lips twitch into a small smile. “New York.”
    ---
    OR: Instead of Ilya moving to Ottawa, Shane moves to New York. Now that he's playing with Scott Hunter, Shane finds himself more involved in the queer scene and on the fast-track to another MLH Cup final. Since he stays in Boston, Ilya's still at the top of his game, setting records as he leads his team straight through the playoffs. What happens when being closer together, means their rivalry is stronger than ever?

    Summary

    Sometimes life came at you with a clenched fist and Ilya had never figured out how to duck.

    So here he was, twenty-eight years old, single, dealing with the fallout from injuries given to him by the game he loved, and the second youngest assistant coach in the league to one of the worst teams. Stability was hard to come by, but he was managing.

    Then along came Shane Hollander to knock him on his ass, one more time.

    Summary

    Does Lieutenant Simon Riley have, like, a handler's manual? He should. He needs one. At this point, you're convinced the 141's Ghost has some sort of moon-based mood indicator that is also entirely dependent on what the mess is serving for lunch and if Philip Graves has opened his mouth more than three times that day.

    You'll write the manual if you have to.

    You could hardly be called a survivor nowadays. Most of the time, you felt like a predator.

    Summary

    The immediate firing of his neural network lights Cortana's awareness alive. Dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine bombard her — the chemical reaction is enough to make her code swim. His vitals hitch and the AI tries to gain her metaphorical footing. Then: your voice.

    "Good afternoon, Master Chief. Step up when you're ready."

    A flood of liquid, golden Oxytocin makes Cortana's not-there-mouth run dry.

    John offers a cordial nod to you. His face is set into a hard mask. "Thank you, Petty Officer."

    ...Oh.

    ...Admire from afar, indeed.
