Summary
“What are these?” Yuna hears Ilya ask. He’s standing with his back to her in front of the armoire next to the couch, looking up at the shelves. She’d been on her way back into the living room with after-dinner coffee when she’d paused at the threshold.
Shane steps toward the armoire, coming up behind Ilya and curling both arms around his waist. “Um, trophies from when I was a kid. Like, minor hockey leagues and tournaments and stuff.”
Ilya moves his head from left to right slowly, scanning the array of trophies and medals on the shelf. “Is big business? Making meaningless awards for tiny hockey players?”
“They aren’t meaningless,” Shane protests, but he sounds a little sheepish.
“Yes, I’m sure the…” Ilya leans in close to read the plaque on one trophy, “‘Sportsmanship Award’ for the U7 Snowflake Classic was very prestigious.”
Shane rolls his eyes, but he’s laughing. “They don’t have awards like this in Russia?”
Or: Yuna bonds with Ilya, one plastic trophy at a time.

Summary
When the power goes out, Alex and Henry are sitting in their living room watching the latest fantasy show to hit Netflix. Alex has his feet in Henry’s lap, and his head pressed up against the side of the couch. One of Henry’s hands is burning a hole through the thin spread of Alex’s pajama pants where it’s resting on his shin. Everything goes out like a flash of lightning, but it takes a moment for it to really register that they’re left lying in the dark.
When it does, Alex sits up, the backs of his calves pressing into the firm weight of Henry’s thighs. He tries not to think about that, though, even as Henry’s hand tightens around his calf. The moon’s shining through the window, so it’s not like they’re blanketed in total darkness, but when Alex looks at Henry, and Henry looks at Alex, the shadows drifting over his face, it feels as if all the light has been sucked out of the world entirely.
--
Or, Alex and Henry have a conversation by candlelight.

Summary
Daniel took an interest in him back when they were teammates and, for some reason, wasn’t kicking him out of his house now. Even though it was late and they had nothing to talk about.
Because Max had no reason to be there.
“Shame you’re leaving in the morning,” Daniel said, breaking Max out of his thoughts.
“Why’s that?”
“I was going to hike up in the mountains tomorrow morning. It would be nice to smoke you on the trails just like I’m going to do on the track.”
And, like, Daniel was just filling the air. Because he knew how to talk to people and knew how to fill the silence, but for some reason, Max found himself saying: “I could push my flight.”
And, just, what?!
OR: The slow burn, Max and Daniel origin story set in pre-season 2021 that nobody asked for, and how I think post-race Abu Dhabi should have gone down. Viva la Maxiel.
