Tequila Sunrise and the Dalton Investigation

Summary:

The Boston boys have a mystery on their hands.
This one involves several tequila sunrises, Ilya Rozanov's heart eyes, Scott Hunter's help, and an out-of-control group chat.
Are they up for the challenge?

Notes:

How many times have I read my own fics in the Hammer/Seb series and pretended it's for context and fact-check?
Too many times! These fics are tickling my fancy just the right way, and I cannot explain how happy these dudes are making me.

Texting fics are so much easier to code than social media fics tbh, and I do love description and beating around the bush and POVs so much, but these might be my new favourite. Thanks for reading, and enjoy! <3

Note: Connections may be made to Things You Learn at a Gay Bar in New York on an All-Star weekend and Will You Maybe Be My Valentine Or Whatever?, so recommended reading?

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Notes:

I saw a reel about Harrison Browne today, the actor who plays Connors, and he used to be a hockey player before transitioning, which kind of inspired this fic.
These hockey boys might not be entirely pc but their hearts are in the right place even when their brains are not, I love them so much. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH, and I can't stop writing even tho I'm super sick rn, but it's helping me get my mind off the whole thing :)
I tried to write it all as well as I could, but please let me know if something sounds wrong and I'll see how I can handle it better, thanks!

> aren't seb and hammer the gay elders
> don't you remember what happened with price?

so here I feel like I should write Seb and Hammer taking Price out, and to this day thinking they were the ones who got his first hookup, right? The rest of the chat doesn't believe them, so they add him to the chat to clarify, but then Price says it was not his first, but thanks them for the help. Does Roz know about this? need to flesh out some details here, but I like it. Won't be moving the story forward tho since it'll be set firmly in the past haha. I do like this series thing so much better because now I can write things as they come to me and not have to worry about chaptering and pacing and timeline and keeping voice intact.

Seb's totally going with the flow right now, and labels mean very little to him, but Hammer's losing his mind a bit with people asking him for clarity he doesn't have. I've been thinking who he would talk to, and maybe it'll be Teresa, Seb's mom, with whom he goes to brunch often, but I'm trying to write the Valentine's thing first, and I'm mostly through, because these texting fics are really helping me with the characters.

Hope you liked this much longer texting fic I wasn't expecting to write, and let me know what you think, love reading your comments! <3
