    Summary

    “He just wants so badly for RJ to be okay. That’s it. Because if RJ’s okay then that means that Macklin’s done his job. Absorbed all of his brother’s grief and sadness like a sponge until he has it all and RJ carries none of it.

    But life isn’t that simple, and grief doesn’t work like that. If you’re not careful, the blackness of it sticks to your bones, fills the cracks in your heart until you’re half human and half something else. A monstrous thing. There’s no way to absorb someone else’s sadness, not entirely. It just keeps coming, unending and all-consuming.

    You have to let them feel it.”

    Or,

    RJ Celebrini is drafted first overall to the San Jose Sharks in 2029 and billets with veteran Will Smith (Hockey) for his rookie year. Macklin is RJ's legal guardian and brother, unravelling and rebuilding in the background of his brother's first year in the NHL.

    Summary

    Ryan Leonard doesn’t mean to let Aiden Celebrini into his life.

    It just happens.

    Slowly, quietly, somewhere between Boston mornings and summer nights that stretch too long.

    Ryan is still carrying the ghost of the boy he loved first. Aiden is still learning how to live with the things he’s lost.

    Neither of them calls what they have love.

    But sometimes healing looks a lot like learning how to exist in the place where someone else already hurt you—and letting someone new carve out a space there anyway.

    Summary

    Aiden doesn’t remember the first time it happened very clearly. Just a loss to BC, too many drinks, and Ryan Leonard’s mouth against his neck in a dark frat house bedroom.

    The second time happens after the Frozen Four—after heartbreak, after confessions, after realizing some feelings were never meant to be returned.

    The third time happens on a rainy summer night in Boston, when Ryan shows up soaked to the bone at Aiden’s door with nowhere else to go.

    Neither of them are over the people they loved. Neither of them planned for this.

    But somehow, they keep finding their way back to each other anyway.

    Summary

    Ryan left a year ago without looking back.

    Aiden still hasn’t figured out how to forgive him for it.

    But under the heat of a Cape Cod summer—between old wounds, lingering feelings, and too many things left unsaid—they’re forced to confront the one thing neither of them has ever truly escaped:

    each other.

    Summary

    Olivia suddenly pulled back hard.

    "Ow." Oscar reached instinctively to guide her back.

    She frowned in disgust and he looked down. A sharp sting spread across his nipple a beat later, and when he adjusted his shirt, he saw it: just a thin crack on the flushed skin, barely anything, but enough that a small bead of blood had escaped. He'd barely processed it before Olivia's face crumpled.

    "Eww, mummy," she announced, pulling back and making full-body "grabby hands" toward Lando.

    Lando looked over immediately. "What happened, babes?"

    "Nothing," Oscar said, quickly trying to cover his breast. "Aw, Liv, you don't want more milk?"

    Lando startled out a confused laugh. "No more, da-da. Wanna play."

    Or Olivia is two years old, and she's decided she doesn't want mama's milk anymore. Oscar knows it's normal. He knows. He just didn't think it would happen so fast.
