Summary
"Goddamn, Sid,” his dad says softly from behind him. “When Mario said they'd definitely find someone to keep up with you, I didn't think they'd literally make someone to keep up with you.”
Sid's throat clicks as he tries to answer. “The program never works,” he says. “I'll just be waiting a year longer.”
Where the Penguins can't find a player to match Sid, so they opt to grow one from scratch instead.

Summary
Sitting at the table was Sid: Sid as Zhenya had first known him, almost a decade before: dorky, long-haired Sid, his cheeks round with baby fat. He couldn’t have been older than twenty, and even that was generous.
“Wow,” baby Sid said. “Are you Evgeni Malkin?”

Summary
Shane is heavier than he used to be; his weight bears down on Ilya in a new way. He’s put on pounds of muscle since Ilya last touched him like this. Ilya flattens his palms, skims them under Shane’s undershirt, feels the flat solidity of his abs, the bulk of his lats, the swell of his chest. It’s the same and it’s new, this body; it’s the boy he couldn’t stop thinking about when he was 18 and the man he loved enough to let go at 26 and the person who somehow always comes to find him when he’s lost.
A stranger, and the love of his life.
—
or, Ilya's father doesn't die in 2017; Ilya breaks up with Shane instead of confessing his love. They get older, but not any less stupid about each other. Shane gets a boyfriend; Ilya gets on medication; they work on becoming whole people. And they always find their way back to each other.
OR a story for those who love Shane and Ilya's baby love but ALSO think it's hot when people in their thirties make active choices about who they are and what they want in their partner!!
Note: the "cheating" tag refers to the relationship between Shane and his aforementioned BF, not to Shane and Ilya cheating on each other.

Summary
Wyatt is just trying to be a good friend, really. He's with Bood at Roz's hospital room so he doesn't wake up alone. When Shane Hollander bursts through the door, it doesn't take a goalie's perception to learn Roz is not that lonely after all.
