Summary
The next day, Connor works out at the gym. He skates for over an hour. He texts Dr. Terry and Kyle that he’s good to rejoin the team once they start practicing again after the All-Star break. He tries to cram as much protein as he can into his (essentially entirely liquid) diet to keep his weight up. He pulls the sheets up on his bed, showers, throws on a load of laundry, and talks to his mom and tells her that he’s fine.
He thinks about Kevin.
And he watches the Blackhawks lose.
So basically - just a routine, typical day in Connor’s life at this point.
[Set in January / February 2024, Connor Bedard fractures his jaw, begs the team doctor to clear him to return to play, and realizes his feelings for his teammate. Sort of, but not necessarily in that order.]

Summary
A realization that’s been lapping at the edges of Sokka’s mind all night finally crashes over him in a wave. “You really hate yourself,” he says slowly, as the cold understanding sinks in.
Zuko’s glare could melt glaciers. “You wouldn’t, if you’d done all the things I’ve done?” he says, which would be fair, except — it’s not just about the things Zuko’s done, is it? It’s also about the things he hasn’t. Zuko hates himself for things that are his fault, and things that aren’t. For who he is, and who he hasn’t managed to be.
And Sokka can see, with sudden, sharp clarity, that if he were to plot the strength of Zuko’s self-hatred alongside the strength of his bending over time, the two lines would hug in almost perfect sync. Which leaves Sokka with only one question: whether someone’s self-loathing could run so deep and unrelenting that it sustains their bending for the better part of a decade.
The night before going in search of Sun Warrior ruins, Zuko starts to doubt that hatred is the source of his bending after all. Sokka helps him figure out what it really is.

Summary
“I apologize.” The cop finally looked back up at his face, seeming thrilled. “It’s just—it’s been so long. And we finally have you.”
That was a bad word. Not found.
Have.
Stiles wrenched his hand free and took a step back, but before he could even think up a gameplan, he felt a prick in his neck and jerked away, reaching up to slap one hand against it and twisting in the same moment.
One of the others had come up behind him while he hadn’t been paying attention, and his vision began to swim even as his eyes caught sight of the half-empty syringe the guy was holding.

Summary
Andrew knows how to get what he wants. He knows how to ask, how to indicate boundaries, and how to stab someone in the gut if they choose to ignore those boundaries. That’s really all he’s ever needed. He doesn’t let men touch him. He doesn’t let people get close enough to try.
Except Neil.
Except he wants Neil. In ways he’s never wanted anyone before. Never trusted anybody before.

“I’m leaving in two months,” Neil tells him.
“Perfect. Tomorrow night?”...
Looking for a reason, a reason to stay.
