    Summary

    "Quinn." Jack said his name the way he had on the dock, the day they arrived, not the punchline-setup version, not the performed version, but the real one, the younger-brother one, the version that meant I see you. "I'm sorry."

    Quinn looked at him. "Don't be," he said. "I mean it. This is what makes sense."

    "It's not-" Jack exhaled, hard, through his nose, rubbed the back of his neck. "It's not that we don't want you around."

    "I know," Quinn said.

    "It's a hockey thing."

    "I know, Jack."

    "Because if it wasn't a hockey thing—"

    "It's a hockey thing," Quinn said, and there was something in his voice that was not quite patience and not quite the other thing, something in between, that closed the sentence gently but firmly. "I understand. Really. It's a hockey thing and it makes sense and Minnesota is going to be great."

    Summary

    Re-integrating Isle residents into Auradonian society is a lovely idea, but it's much harder to implement than it is to say.

    Picks up a bit before the end of Descendants 3 and imagines a slightly more realistic version of how the end of that movie should have gone down, because Audrey is evil and some villains really need to stay on the Isle.

    Summary

    “Why would anyone want to mic you up, Hollander?” Ilya asked, getting down to his knees next to Shane to join him in his stretches. “All they will hear is you discussing boring statistics and complaining how I am so much more talented than you.”

    Summary

    Shane went down hard, bleeding on the ice, and Ilya was hiding in a stairwell to avoid Shane's teammates when he caught up on the WAG chat and saw the missed call from Jackie.
