    Summary

    Robby has spent years filing his feelings for Jack away under safer guises— friendship, companionship, collegial affection— because those nomenclatures demanded nothing of him, required no explanation, threatened no irreversible shift in the careful architecture of their relationship, both inside and out of the hospital.

    The term he kept coming back to, though, was brother.

    Summary

    Robby goes on his motorcycle trip for his sabbatical. He really thought it would help him clear his head, fix his mind, turn him into a new man… But two months in, he has to reckon with the fact that he is still running away and it hasn’t fixed a single thing. If anything, it all seems even worse than it was and he is losing his way back.

    Feeling more isolated and alienated than ever, he wonders what the future could even hold. But while he may not have many people in his life, those are thankfully not willing to give up on him. And maybe, maybe they could help him find his way home.

    He stayed there, wiping stingy tears away from his eyes with the sleeve of his jacket and sniffling. He knew Dana was right. The guilt coiled at the bottom of his stomach knew she was right. But he was terrified, and the longer it went on, the worse it became. He didn’t know how to get out of it. He was trying, he desperately was, but the urge to run away always won. And when it didn’t, the paralysis did and made him a prisoner of his own body and mind.

    Summary

    As Logan crosses the room, his heavy footsteps cutting a clear line across Scott’s bedroom for the bathroom attached, Scott shakes his head. “I know what phō is, Logan. What’re you doing here?”

    In reply, Logan chuckles. It’s that low, dry rumble that seems to dole out annoyance and fondness in equal measure. To Scott’s endless frustration, it’s how Logan replies to most things. He turns on the tap in the bathroom. Lets it run. 

    “What’s it look like?” he says, letting the water run over his fingers. “Helping your sorry ass out, Slim.”

    -

    Scott has a migraine. Logan looks in on him.

    Summary

    But it’s true. David Hollander is normal about hockey. He has a life outside it. He goes to work at the Treasury. He goes on long walks. He volunteers at animal shelters. He puzzles. Well—he works on puzzles? Ilya still is not sure how the verbs work there.

    The point is: David Hollander built a life outside of hockey that was fulfilling—that remains fulfilling. This, in its roundabout way, and though Ilya could never admit it, saves Ilya’s life.
