Summary
“Don’t you dare, you had better not, I’ll call your dad and the press, I’ll tell ‘em—”
“I think ‘Jack Zimmermann helps out teammate with checking drills’ would be a good headline, actually. I give you my blessing.”
“Not when you’re threatening to pour water all over me you big ole—”
“‘Big ole’ what, exactly?”

Summary
Bitty tightens the towel one more time, an outlet for his fitful energy, a little shiver of nerves running up his spine. While he likes the game plan they've come up with for the shoot, he’s still a little nervous about being completely naked. In front of a stranger. Who is taking pictures. Of him.
Which is silly. He’s literally spent years in locker rooms being naked around dozens of other guys. This just seems a little more … revealing, somehow.

Bitty does a boudoir photography shoot as a surprise for Jack.

Summary
In 2009, Jack Zimmermann was drafted 2nd overall to the Providence Falconers. After a tumultuous first season in the minors, Jack returns to the NHL and is named captain within a year. Known to the media as the "hockey robot," no one seems to be able to break through the polite barrier that Jack has built — no one until Eric Bittle, newest intern at NBC 10. Bitty, interning as a requirement for his journalism degree at nearby Samwell University, forms an instant connection with Jack. Throughout the rest of the season, and the rest of Bitty's junior year at Samwell, the two grow closer while learning how to both trust each other and succeed in their respective careers.

Summary
The phone, with its string of texts between him and Eric, is the only tangible evidence he has that kissing Bitty -- that Bitty kissing him back -- isn’t some sort of lucid dream brought on by the stress of graduation. So he’s been gripping it like a lifeline.

Summary
Eric Bittle is navigating his last year of obtaining his degree, after dealing with dropping out of Brown, coming out to unsupportive parents, working multiple jobs, and applying for internships. Luckily, he's got the money he won from his appearance on Chopped to cushion the transition.
Jack Zimmermann is navigating his second year as captain of the Providence Falconers and first year as an out and proud queer man. With his friends and connecting with his artistic side, Jack hopes one day he'll be able to stop panicking over the "out" part and move on to the "proud". And maybe figure out who the guy he keeps running into is.

Summary
Every hockey player knows the Stanley Cup is supposed to be magic.
Most of them know the stories about wishes and curses and visions of things that never happened.
A few players know for themselves what the Cup's magic can do.
What no one knows is what the Cup's magic is.
What it is, is old. Powerful. Dangerous.
And it has been waiting for someone like Jack Zimmermann for a very long time.
Too bad Jack can't remember why. Or what he's supposed to do about it.

Summary
Kent Parson wakes up the day after Cup Day in bed with a stranger. He's expecting to have hooked up with a Jack Zimmermann look-a-like. He is not expecting to see Jack Zimmermann’s boyfriend sound asleep beside him, dressed in what looks like one of his old Aces’ jerseys and nothing else.
Kent stares. And stares. And stares some more. Completely eloquently, for the third time that morning, he says, “What the fuck.”
--
Or, Kent Parson swaps places with an alternate version of himself who happens to be madly in love with one Eric R. Bittle. It goes about as well as you'd expect.

Summary
“Jack turns in a slow, aimless circle in the middle of his living room. Blank white walls. Bare floor. A sofa, a TV, a coffee table: just the basics, really. Well, no wonder it doesn’t look like home; he can’t blame his apartment’s sudden coldness and its empty echoing spaces solely on the absence of one Eric R. Bittle. It just… doesn’t look like anyone lives here. It doesn’t feel like anyone lives here. He has no idea how to change that.”
(Or… Jack comes home from Madison to an apartment that doesn’t smell like cinnamon, and teammates who don’t know what he means he says ‘swawesome. It feels like it should be easier, turning the place he lives into a home and the people he plays hockey with into teammates. But even ‘easy’ things have always felt harder than they should.)
