Summary
Venice was terrible, and Brescia wasn't much better. At least it was a clear day, a depressing rarity for Venice, though it almost made Goffredo miss the sun of the south more. Their seats were near the top of the stadium, so they got a good breeze, though it smelled of salt instead of stone. Some days Goffredo ached for the scent of tufo in the air. But, at least they had few neighbors around them - one benefit of a shit team.
Giulio returned from concessions with a beer for himself and, surprisingly, handed Goffredo a slim white can as he took his seat.
"What is a 'White Claw'?"
"Some American nonsense they're promoting. It looked fruity and terrible, just how you like it."
Set between chapters 3 and 4 of the main fic!

Summary
“No, Ilya, stay.” The last word came out as a whine.
“Why is he calling you Ilya?” Pike asked.
"Why is he asking you to stay?” Hollander’s mom followed.
Ilya shrugged. “How would I know?”
Hollander lifted his arm out, as if reaching for Ilya. “Because I want him to stay.” It was said in a tone that seemed to say, 'obviously'.
“Shane,” Hollander’s dad started. “Um- what’s going on? I thought we hated Rozanov.” He seemed to realise what he’d said and glanced at Ilya. “Sorry.”
“Is fine.”
"No, I don't hate him. I love him."
Cliff's jaw was firmly hanging open, and he didn't think it was going to move anytime today. He felt as if he'd been punched in the stomach, all the air ripped away from his lungs.
"Am I dreaming?" Cliff muttered to himself.
Pike let out a strained laugh. "I think someone spiked my coffee this morning."

Summary
"—and they're married. Poulin and Stacey. They're captain and alternate captain and on the first line together. I'll point them out when the period starts. They call them the wife line."
Shane's breath catches in his throat. He had no idea that there was a married couple playing together on the same team, let alone the same line. He didn't know that was something you could do.
