cardiac tamponade by asthestarsforetold

Summary
Cardiac tamponade: pressure on that heart that prevents it from filling and beating adequately.
Shane thought he knew two things: his move to Ottawa would cause chaos, and that the Ottawa Centaurs were nice.
As it turned out, he only knew one of those things.
(Or: the Cens are still a team of professional hockey players. They're going to fuck up.)

Summary
One day to camp:
“It’s okay Nicky. Don’t cry.” he whispered in his ear. It had the opposite effect of the intention of the words. But the dam crumbled and broke like it was never ever there when he continued, “When we become big, we’ll build a home just for us and live together.”

Summary
"Ilya had loved him through his worst moments. Ilya had helped him find a therapist when he’d collapsed on the floor of their hotel bathroom after losing a particularly brutal game, scratching at his chest. Ilya had held him, even when Shane yelled at him because there was panic crawling under his skin and he felt as though it might claw its way out. Ilya had told him it was okay; that it didn’t make him a bad player to resent the spotlight sometimes, that it didn’t make him a bad teammate to hate the team when they were too loud and too drunk and too physical, that it didn’t make him a bad person to need space to breathe. Ilya saved him.
And look what you give him in return. You’re a shitty husband, Shane Hollander.
You don’t deserve his last name."

Summary
“Um, okay,” Nicky says. Stops. Thinks. Looks at Aaron with too much urgency, like he has to entertain him fast or he’ll disappear into thin air. “Uh—Andrew! Yes. Andrew and I are having a fight right now.”
Andrew shakes his head at Aaron. “Completely one-sided.”
“He thinks his gaydar is better than mine. Can you believe that?”
“Never said that.” But it’s probably true.
or: Nicky and the twins bond about gay shit

Summary
Aaron turned to his brother and switched to speaking in German. “The fuck do you want?”
“He wants a tattoo.”
“You’re a tattoo artist last I checked.”
“He was some some fucking quote written on his ribcage like he’s a 19 year old woman. I’m not interested. Overcharge him and send him on his way.”
“Why the fuck did you let him come in here half naked if you weren’t planning on doing it?”
“The fuck?,” a third voice spoke up in German. Andrew and his carbon copy turned to Neil. “I didn’t walk in without my shirt on.”- Language:

Summary
“Alex,” Stuart’s eyes snap up to him and Alex stands straighter, “I need you to take this to the tech guys downstairs. I need this IP address tracked, get me a general location first so that I can start getting people stationed.” He hisses there’s a ping from his computer and his eyes shoot back to his computer.
Alex blinks but walks further into Stuart’s office and takes the strip of paper. Stuart’s eyes remain back on the computer and he’s muttering various curses as he continues to click and type.
or:
Stuart Hatford has a nemesis and that nemesis keeps outbidding him.

Dan and Neil exchange a look. Then Dan sighs, rubbing a hand across her forehead. “Great. Just what we need. A prank war. The last time the team faced one of those, I lost a dealer, a goalie, and someone was nearly blinded.”

Summary
Aaron and Katelyn have been sneaking around under the pretense of tutoring sessions for months now, and Katelyn has, if you will pardon her French, fucking had it. She wants desperately to be open about their relationship, but there’s something standing in their way: Aaron has a twin brother, Andrew, and Aaron can't date anyone until Andrew does. The problem therein, besides everything, is that Andrew is horrible. Standoffish, rude, and seemingly dispassionate about everything in the world except violence, there isn’t a boy in school brave enough to look at him.
Until Katelyn lays eyes on cute new kid Neil Josten, who is apparently infinitely fearless and twice as stupid.

Summary
Neil is Demi, but Andrew is Gay. It's a distinction Neil's never really paid attention to before, barely thought twice about at least in regards to himself. But after an incident at Eden's, and a specific comment from Andrew, Neil starts wondering if there are several things he hasn't noticed. It leads him on a downward spiral of self-doubt, depression, and his usual martyr-like tendencies that can only have one conclusion. He loves Andrew so he wants him to be happy- even if it's with someone else. So he'll let him go...but only if he asks.

Summary
“Have you considered the possibility that Neil has chosen you, but believes you have not chosen him?” Renee says. "Have you ever explicitly told him what you want?”
“Neil knows what I want,” Andrew snaps. This is not Andrew’s fault.
“How do you know?”
Because Neil always knows. He is as fluent in Andrew’s micro-expressions as he is in German and French. He knows which head tilts mean “go on” and which ones mean “shut up.” Without ever asking, he learned what it meant to see Andrew wearing double layers of long sleeves, or taking multiple showers in a day, and learned to hand Andrew the car keys.
That has always been the most terrifying thing about Neil — his patience to wait, watch, listen, learn. The prospect that if Neil were given enough time, there would be no part of Andrew that was just Andrew’s anymore.
“He has to know,” Andrew says.
“Does he?” Renee says. “Have you ever known Neil to assume that he is wanted?”
Five times Neil tells someone that he and Andrew aren’t dating, and one time Andrew uses his words to set the record straight.
