Luca's also realizing that he's a bit alone on his team. He's known he's queer,for years. He knows his team would accept him, the way they've accepted Troy, Ilya, Shane and Harris but... His best friend asks about girls he's hooked up with, the other "kids" all talk about their conquests.

    Summary

    Troy Barrett is traded to the Ottawa Centaurs after bringing up the assault allegations against Dallas Kent and attacking the star-centre at practice. After years of being treated poorly by the Toronto Guardians, he struggles to adapt to the Centaurs' more accepting nature. Over the course of his first year with the Centaurs, he faces repercussions for speaking out against Dallas, deals with threats from the league, navigates a whole new team that is primed to hate him, and faces several media scandals.

    This is pre Troy/Harris, and Shane/Ilya is not mentioned, but I picture it being in the background.

    Summary

    “And you’re sure there’s nothing for you?” David says suddenly. “You’re not—you’re feeling okay? You’re not sick? Shane wouldn’t have any reason to think that you’re sick?”

    Ilya blinks and turns to him. “I am fine. Totally fine. Better than fine, even, before today.”

    “It’s just—Shane’s acting like you’re dying, Ilya.”

    “Not as far as I’m aware,” says Ilya. “And I do not think he would learn this before me.”

    The summer before Ilya joins the Centaurs, Shane wakes up nervous. It doesn't stop from there.

    Summary

    Dean Winchester never expected much from life. His mother abandoned her sons to be raised by their drunk, abusive father. Dean dropped out of school to take care of the family, but they were barely getting by, so when a handsome stranger came along, offering him a way out... Well, even if things weren’t perfect, he wasn’t going to risk losing a good thing.

    So what if Lee was a mean drunk — it wasn’t anything Dean hadn’t seen from his father his whole life. So what if sometimes he was a bit too rough — Dean’s tough, he can take it. And so what, if sometimes things got a bit out of hand when Lee’s friends came around — Lee doesn’t seem to mind. In fact, sometimes he asks Dean to ‘take care of them’. (It was fine. It was all fine.)

    Enter grad student Castiel, who is instantly intrigued by the kind, quiet mechanic with the sad eyes. The more he gets to know Dean, the more he learns about his heartbreaking past and even more heartbreaking present, the more he feels like he’s fallen into something he can’t walk away from.

    Dean doesn’t believe he deserves to be saved, because he never thought to ask. Can Castiel be the one to pull him out of hell?

    Title inspired by: Fast Car by Tracy Chapman
