Summary
“I don’t—I’m having a hard time believing--” she gestures between the three of them “this."
“That’s understandable.” Theo nods, then sweeps back some loose curls that fall onto his forehead. “With the time you’re missing--back then, you and I were strangers, and you and Draco…"
Hermione bites her lip, trying to work through everything she’s been told in the past handful of hours. “My friends tell me that I love you—both. They say I’m happy, they say we have children together.”
Theo nods. “This is all true.”

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.

Summary
There’s no humor in Shane’s voice. It’s cold, hard, determined. “When we meet them on the ice next season, I want to fucking destroy them.”
After a moment, he feels Ilya nod thoughtfully behind him.
“Is good plan. Let’s fucking destroy them.”
The Montreal Voyageurs won't stop slinging mud at Shane in the press, so Shane and Ilya decide to get revenge the best way they know how.

Summary
He only realizes he’s doing it when it’s too late to stop.
He’s standing in the drink aisle of the grocery store, checking the expiration dates on the cans of Coke, mentally cross-checking them with Boston’s away game schedule, and the reality hits him like someone shook one of those cans and popped it open. A snap. A fizz. A mess.
Shane is making space for Ilya.

Summary
“That’s my number. For nights I’m not on shift or if you just–if you need someone. I’ll come.”
Ferron looks at her for a long time, jaw neatly tensed. “Why would you do that?”
“I'm a helper," Helena says simply. "I like to help.”
Ferron's mouth tics. “You make it sound like a character flaw.”
“Maybe it is."
Or: Kaine is a reluctant participant in an underground fighting ring. Helena is an emergency room doctor that can't let anything go.
