Summary
A year after his divorce, Jack Zimmermann is finally getting the hang of this whole "single parent" thing. When his best friends Shitty and Lardo ask Jack's daughter to be a co-flower-girl in their wedding, Jack meets their friend Bitty - a single dad, just like him. The fact that Bitty is sweet, charming, and cute as a button? That's just icing on the (wedding) cake.
Eric "Bitty" Bittle has a thriving bakery and an adorable little girl - too bad he doesn't have much of a social life. All that changes when he meets sexy hockey star Jack Zimmermann. So what if Jack is probably straight? It's just nice to make a friend who understands what Bitty's going through.
Can these two single dads overcome heartbreak and find love again?

Summary
Eric Bittle is navigating his last year of obtaining his degree, after dealing with dropping out of Brown, coming out to unsupportive parents, working multiple jobs, and applying for internships. Luckily, he's got the money he won from his appearance on Chopped to cushion the transition.
Jack Zimmermann is navigating his second year as captain of the Providence Falconers and first year as an out and proud queer man. With his friends and connecting with his artistic side, Jack hopes one day he'll be able to stop panicking over the "out" part and move on to the "proud". And maybe figure out who the guy he keeps running into is.

Summary
Jack breathed. Once, twice.
You can do it. You just have to tell George about you and Bittle, and you'll feel so much better.
George beat him to it, though.“Eric Bittle, your old teammate. I want him with the Falcs, the minute he graduates.”
Well, now he couldn’t talk, could he.

Summary
In 2009, Jack Zimmermann was drafted 2nd overall to the Providence Falconers. After a tumultuous first season in the minors, Jack returns to the NHL and is named captain within a year. Known to the media as the "hockey robot," no one seems to be able to break through the polite barrier that Jack has built — no one until Eric Bittle, newest intern at NBC 10. Bitty, interning as a requirement for his journalism degree at nearby Samwell University, forms an instant connection with Jack. Throughout the rest of the season, and the rest of Bitty's junior year at Samwell, the two grow closer while learning how to both trust each other and succeed in their respective careers.

Summary
Bitty and Jack fell out of touch a long time ago. Jack felt it was easier to cut Bitty out than be confronted with feelings he'd rather keep hidden, so there was no kiss at graduation and they went their seperate ways.
What might time, space and ill advised substance abuse (alcohol is never a great coping mechanism, kids) do to Jack's heart. And can Bitty keep his life on an upward trajectory after a chance encounter with an estranged friend...?

Summary
Bitty grinned, leaning in a little closer. “Must’a been a little lonely up there.”
“It can be,” Jack admitted. “It has its charms.”
“Yeah?” Bitty asked.
Jack brought up his other hand, and let the tips of his fingers touch Bitty’s jaw. “I still don’t love gravity. But…I’m happy to endure it, if I get to do this.”
