Summary
It wasn't a problem unless you couldn't control it. Unless it was unreasonable and unwarranted. That wasn't this. Quinn knew that it wasn't this. This, dirty word. "Pill Addiction." He is an elite athlete playing at the top levels of men's hockey. He represented his country. He represented his team. No one failed him. He doesn't fail...
(A social commentary on how the NHL doesn't protect their players.)

Summary
“Do you ever get tired of it?” Macklin asked.
“Of what?”
“The travel. The tour. Other people’s bodies. My body.”
Will considered that.“Sometimes” he said. “But not in a way that makes me want to leave.” Not you, he didn't say.
Or: a tennis AU about slow-burn yearning, emotional support disguised as sports medicine, and two idiots who absolutely do have a vibe.

Summary
“I’m fucking exhausted,” Cale groans in the middle of training camp, squirting water over his face. Nate frowns. It’s too early to be exhausted - the season hasn’t even started yet. “Just, like, thinking about playing 82 games - all the travel, the hotels, the late nights - fuck.”
“Well, half of them are home games,” Nate reminds him.
Cale shrugs. “Still tired thinking about it all.”
“Some of the travel is fun,” Nate says. He grabs a bottle of water off the bench and drinks half of it.
“Fun?” Cale says skeptically. “We’re shuttled from city to city. We stay in hotels that look identical everywhere and only leave to get on the bus to go to the arenas. What’s fun about that?”
“Well, it could be fun. If we tried.”
*********
Nate makes it his mission to find (at least) one fun thing to do in every city they have to travel to for hockey after Cale tells him it's not possible. The only issue is that Nate's massive crush on Cale gets impossibly bigger with every "date" they go on.

Summary
Will is sent to a summer camp in Canada by his family to reconnect with himself and God, but finds Macklin instead, a hot counsellor at the facility. Will has to battle with his desire for Mack, with the ghosts of a deep religious guilt, and with something darker going on at the campus, all growing increasingly as the days melt one into the other.
or
an 80's summer camp slasher AU but with incredibly cute Will and Mack and the inexplicable horrors of being gay and in love in your twenties.

Summary
The summer Macklin Celebrini met Will Smith, the lake caught fire every night at sunset.
Will was everything Mack had been taught not to want: loud, warm, reckless, unpolished, and impossible to ignore. Mack was everything Will should have known better than to fall for: careful, guarded, rich-boy miserable, and already half trapped by a future his family had planned for him.
or: The author rewatched "The Notebook" and decided to make it everyones problem. (Loosely Inspired)
