    Summary

    As the year C.Y. 318 comes to a close, 21-year-old Connor Zilisch is an ace mechanosports pilot with a bright future ahead of him. One month from now, Connor will be known to the public as the only survivor of a passenger shuttle explosion. Six months from now, Connor will disappear.

    His family and friends in orbit will never see him again; only the broadcast listing the criminal charges against him, and his likely co-conspirators. The next story on the news will announce that another star pilot and his longtime technician, Max Verstappen, have been abducted by political extremists from Earth. Down on the planet's surface, flat and barren in the center of North America, a smuggling ship lands after a two-day journey...

    Summary

    “I am Russian, not Canadian.”

    Shane raises up onto his elbow and looks, hard, at this man he loves. “You could be. Canadian, that is. If you wanted to.”

    Ilya’s gaze back is searching. Shane doesn’t know what he’s looking for, but then Ilya says, “Loyalty is important in hockey.”

    Stuck between a mother country that doesn’t want him and an adopted country in which he feels foreign, international hockey remains complicated for Ilya. An open, festering wound.

    Summary

    The queer NHL players (begrudgingly) unite via group chats in the face of social media scandals.

    These stories take place on a (slightly loose) chronological timeline and make the most sense when read in order. However, they're all independent stories/scandals and can be read as standalones.

    All stories take place post TLG and include spoilers for the books.

    Summary

    The Swiss National League doesn’t care about the legendary Hollander-Rozanov rivalry. When the MLH can’t negotiate with the Hockey Players’ Union in time to prevent a hockey lockout at the start of the 2015 season, the Zürich Lions jump at the chance to sign both Shane and Ilya to short-term contracts. For four months in Switzerland, they share a team, a line, a house, and a bed. 

    Then the lockout ends in January, and it’s time to go back. Back to different countries, cities, lives. Beds.

    Reentry is harder than expected.
