Summary
"Rozy," Brian, the team doctor says, "talk to me, buddy. That puck clipped you pretty good, how’s the pain?"
Ilya blinks. He clenches his jaw against a wave of nausea. He rests his cheek on the ice, and the cold helps a little.
"Bad. Very bad." He swallows. "Is Shane here?"

or, in the final MTL/BOS game of the year, ilya takes a puck to the head.

Summary
"We're not supposed to be able to do that."
"What?"
"Use each other's wands so well... Didn't Ollivander tell you something along those lines when you bought your wand? How many others did you have to try before you found the one that worked right for you?"
"Quite a few. He said that 'the wand chooses the wizard.'"
"Or witch. But exactly, Harry. So why is it that our wands don't distinguish between the two of us?"

Summary
Conrad's texts arrive at odd hours, slipping into her phone while she sleeps. Belly's voice notes play in his sterile kitchen as he makes coffee, her laughter bouncing off surfaces too clean, too empty.
If there are infinite worlds, every version of me chooses you, Belly told him on that speeding train to Brussels, still catching her breath.
In the spaces between, they create them.(between Paris and Palo Alto, Belly and Conrad begin a game where they get to choose each other again and again)

Summary
Post-Finale. Belly and Conrad try to make sense of the last 24 hours while on a poorly-planned train ride to Brussels. After the mania? The inevitable comedown, and the cold reality of navigating their ongoing intimacy issues in a new city, with the stress of mundane life crowding in.
Luckily, they're both too stubborn to give up without a fight.
Angst, smut, and lots of emotional processing.

Summary
“Conrad,” she says between laughter, “I don’t think you’ve ever lost me.” Unrealizing, her hand is on her heart before she can finish her sentence. She hates herself for not being able to hold herself together in front of him. But she hates herself even more for not being able to lie to him—to tell him that, yes, Conrad, you have lost me, and I don't think you ever truly had me to begin with. Lying—that would be the right thing to do, just hours away from being married off to her fiancé.
But Conrad.
He’s all it takes.
