    Some beginning-of-established-relationship fluff between Seasons 1 and 2 AKA Books 2 and 6.

    Summary

    What the hell is a "free agent" and why is Ilya Rozanov one at the end of Heated Rivalry? Would Cliff be suspended for that hit on Shane? How many times a season do Montreal and Boston play each other? How is the order of draft picks determined? How do hockey trades work?

    All this and more is answered in this guide to how the NHL (and thus maybe the MLH) works! This isn't about the rules of playing hockey, but instead the rules of the league itself. Even the boring bits can become great prompts for fic if you believe in yourself!

    If you're writing Hockey RPF, this guide makes sure to point out where the NHL and the fictional book series/show differs, so it still works as a simplified guide for that too!

    Summary

    Planes fly by in droves, drop bombs, then race back for more bombs. It will be a miracle if any building is left standing after all of this - but there are no miracles left in the world. The world changes and will change again in the next hundred years but, from here on out, there will always be bombs.

    He might as well get used to them.

    Summary

    “Beirut ’88?” Nicky offers over the headset.

    Joe sighs and risks a glance. Nicky meets his eyes for a fraction of a second, raising an eyebrow, before turning back to the road.

    “Practical as always, my love,” Joe concedes and hears Nicky laugh. It is no secret this is not one of Joe’s favorites.

    “See you soon,” Nicky promises, and Joe has just enough time to suck in a breath before Nicky wrenches his steering wheel and slams his car into Joe’s, crumpling the front passenger side and sending him flying into the sea.
