    Summary

    “We have worked too fucking hard to lose to Vegas,” Roz snarls, slapping the C on his chest. He was probably aiming for the crest and not his letter, but he makes his point regardless. “You know what we were in September. Nobody believed we would make playoffs, not even with Hollander.”

    (Alternatively: Shane wins the cup he was always going to win in 2020, albeit wearing a different colored jersey.)

    Summary

    "Playing hockey does not need to be everything to be happy, Shane."

    Shane disagrees.

    Unfortunately, the universe appears determined to prove Ilya right.

    Summary

    SHANE HOLLANDER, center, Ottawa Centaurs; Gerald's owner: Gerald was started on September 14th, 2009, at approximately 4:30 in the afternoon. I used a combination of organic rye flour and filtered water at 78 degrees Fahrenheit. The ambient kitchen temperature was 71 degrees, which is within the acceptable range for initial fermentation, though the lower end. I kept detailed notes. I still have them.

    [He showed me the notes. They are in a composition notebook, written in small, precise handwriting. The first entry reads: "Day 1. Mixed 50g rye flour + 50g water (78°F). Covered with cloth. Placed on counter away from direct sunlight. No activity yet. Expected." There are years of entries. The notebook is the third volume.]

    SHANE HOLLANDER: I don't understand the question. Why wouldn't I keep notes?

    Summary

    It is a truth universally acknowledged that life-altering events never happen on Tuesday afternoons.

    Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov certainly thought so. For years they have perfected the art of stolen moments: hotel rooms, road trips, carefully planned lies, and just enough distance to keep anyone from asking questions. Just enough distance to pretend it isn't becoming something more. Then, on an otherwise forgettable Tuesday afternoon, the world finds out anyway.

    What a fucking inconvenient day.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander accidentally comes out to his hockey team after years of hiding his sexuality behind carefully crafted personas and unfinished coming out speeches. As the Metros slowly begin icing him out on and off the ice, Shane spirals between rage, grief, and self-discovery—while Ilya refuses to let him forget exactly who he is.
