    Summary

    Scott Hunter is 19 years old and just waiting for that call up to the show. In the meantime he’s stuck at Princeton, struggling through the second year of a degree he’s never gonna need.

    A chance connection with a stranger on a hook-up app seems like a really good idea—until that one night stand is walking into his history precept as the TA.

    Scott’s problems are about to get a lot less academic.

    Summary

    “What makes him your best client?” Kip asks.

    “He’s nice, his dog is well behaved, the apartment is insane, and he has a very set schedule. It’s not a daily gig, it’s kind of random. You have to stay at his place in the Upper West Side a few times a week, but again, the apartment is amazing. He’s some kind of athlete? So the schedule is also nuts. But he gives, like, six months of dates in advance.” Maria answers.

    A set schedule of dates works for Kip, who is, these days, trying to make his own schedule.

    “And,” Maria smiles wide, “I think you’ll like him.”

    That beatific expression will come back to him, five days later, when he meets Scott Hunter for the first time.

    ---

    Kip Grady is a PhD student who takes a side-gig walking Scott Hunter's dog. Along the way: the precarity of academia vs hockey; keeping something good at arm's length despite an innate desire for safety and love; gratuitous metaphors about both.

    Summary

    Svetlana knows about Jane. It's frankly insulting for Ilyusha to think otherwise.

    She just never expected to have to call him for help. During the Olympics. In Russia. In the dead of night.

    -
    Or, it's Sochi 2014 and Russia has lost to Latvia. Grigori Rozanov, not yet compromised by illness, punishes his son for shaming the family. When Svetlana finds an injured and emotionally fragile Ilya, she knows she needs somewhere safe for him to recover. And there's only one person in Russia who Sveta trusts with her Ilyusha: Canada's Golden Boy, Shane Hollander.

    Summary

    [From: K]
    Start looks good from up here. Don't suck. Or you’re sleeping on the couch. Love you x

    The air in Scott’s lungs, which had been trapped there since he woke up that morning, finally released. He could picture it perfectly: Kip sitting anonymously in Section 106, flanked by Elena and his dad, the three of them acting as a buffer against the world. They were the only family Scott had, the perfect camouflage for the one person Scott couldn't live without. Kip would be white-knuckling the armrests, pretending to be just another stressed fan, unable to tell a soul that his husband was currently lacing up skates in the basement.

    Or:
    The one where Scott and Kip met in St. Thomas Preparatory School back in 2004 and fell in love with each other.
