    Summary

    It was like watching ants in those transparent tunneled habitats: the intricate, horny communication rituals of the modern queer hockey player.

    Or, five or so times Mikhail Popov (award-winning goaltender and gay fairy godmother) nudged Shane Hollander (his best goalie friend) and Ilya Rozanov (annoying hot guy he tolerates) toward their happily ever after, and the one time they finally chose it for themselves.

    Summary

    Kowalski believed, for a brief and surreal moment, that Ilya Rozanov was coming on to him in the men’s room of the hotel bar. This was unexpected, but Kowalski owes a significant portion of his professional success to his reaction time. In the restroom in question, Kowalski called on the skills he had honed on the ice and made a move in order to capitalize on a potentially fleeting opportunity.

    It didn’t work out the way he hoped.

    Summary

    “But it has to be her! Neil literally doesn’t spend time with anyone outside of this team. Like at all. Who could he possibly be dating? Someone on the team?” She asked sarcastically.

    She was met with silence. “Wait… are y’all serious?”

    Nicky was positively ecstatic at this turn of events.

    [The freshmen are determined to find Neil's secret girlfriend. Neil and Andrew are unwilling to aid their quest.]

    Summary

    Andrew knows exactly who Travis is. Travis William Patterson, 27 years old, 6’3” backliner from middle of nowhere, Texas, current starter for the Boston Hurricanes, #9. As a matter of fact, Andrew is looking at him right now. ESPN is showing Exy highlights from last weekend, and Neil’s team just happens to be up at this very moment.

    The Neil on screen has just performed some ridiculous move that absolutely should not have ended with a goal but somehow did, and he is immediately met with high-fives from his teammates and an affectionate-looking hug from Travis. Andrew can most certainly be objective, and this exchange looks pretty platonic. But Andrew is also a man attracted to men, and he has to admit that Travis is good looking. Really good looking.

    -

    Neil seems to be spending a lot of time with his new friend, and Andrew is Not Jealous.

    Summary

    In Andrew's defense, blind dates are terrible and almost all of Kevin's friends are even worse.

    Nine times out of ten, calling in a favor to get Aaron to switch and tank it for him would be fine.

    Unfortunately, Andrew found number ten.

    Summary

    They found it in the locked room of a Royal Navy's vessel, The Fox waiting to take her crew and their new spoils across the deep blue.

    It was beautiful. It was rarer than any diamond.

    “A mermaid,” Dan laughed, taking a step back and sweeping her hat off her head to hold to her chest. “They were transporting a mermaid.”

    It was going to make them rich.

    ( wherein the Foxes are pirates, Neil has gills, and no one quite trusts the magic. )

    Summary

    Deep down, Andrew knew he would always reach this crossroads, a time where the thought became too strong to ignore.

    Going all the way with Neil. It's not something he can continue to avoid thinking about. When Andrew looks back to the days where he held Neil's hands down, when he never got off with him in the same room, he's forced to acknowledge how much he's allowed.

    Not allowed. Welcomed. Wanted.

    But that’s not all there is to it, and the desire to make a decision finally makes itself known.

    Summary

    The smile splitting Neil’s face in two is a soft thing, gentle and wonderful and the most genuine the expression has ever felt settled into his mouth. “I think you like putting up with me”

    Shut up

    “Make me,” Neil tells him.

    “Marry me,” Andrew replies.

    Summary

    Kevin, Neil, and Allison are grad students, roommates, and obviously best friends. One fortuitous day, Kevin meets a short, knife-wielding blond guy in the library and brings him home to meet the short, knife-wielding redhead he lives with.

    If only Neil knew what having a crush felt like before this happened.

    Summary

    "I'm not a math problem." Neil looked Andrew up and down. He was cute when he wasn't smiling like a maniac.

    "I'll still solve you." Andrew replied, voice deep and husky.

    Neil cocked his head, a slow smile snaked it's way across his face. "Not gonna lie, that's kind of hot."

    Summary

    Three days after he signs his death sentence to Palmetto State, five after Andrew Minyard knocks him breathless to the ground, Neil's gaze snaps to the locker room mirror and stares, frozen, at the word threat scrawled along his spine in terrifying bold.

    All in all, he isn’t thrilled about the situation this puts him in, but based off the negative connotation, it isn’t one-sided, either. On the bright side, at least this means his soulmate doesn’t harbor any delusions of grandeur.

    I mean, what else could Nicky have done when he spotted Andrew smiling at the hot guy making his coffee?

    Not meddle?

    Not get all the Foxes on board?
