Summary
Luca Haas is playing on a team with both his hockey idols, he's not the youngest on the team anymore, they made it to the playoffs last season, this season they're locked in from the start. Luca's also realizing that he's a bit alone on his team. He's known he's queer,for years. He knows his team would accept him, the way they've accepted Troy, Ilya, Shane and Harris but... His best friend asks about girls he's hooked up with, the other "kids" all talk about their conquests. He could talk to his captain about it but Ilya's busy figuring out marriage, parenting a teenager, and navigating the foster care system.
Ash Holmberg still, kind of, wants to die. He's cycling through medications, attending therapy and doing everything he's supposed to be doing after inpatient treatment. His twin brother's moved him into the frat house he shares with two other professional hockey players. He knows that his brother would be wrecked if he actually died. So he draws and works and pretends like he's doing okay. And then he realizes how frat-bro-y his brother and his friends are and gets conscripted into helping turn all six of them into dateable adults.
