    Summary

    “I know you were hoping for Ovechkin, but when we reviewed the match we actually concluded that Malkin would be much better for you," the breeding coordinator tells him.

    Sid wants to say, I wasn’t hoping for Ovechkin. Management was hoping for Ovechkin. I wasn't hoping for anything.

     

    Or: Geno never left Metallurg, but these guys will find each other in every universe. Even the really, really weird ones.

    Summary

    He was only twenty-six; he’d thought he would have more time.

    Twenty-six was a little late for it, really. If he was being honest with himself.

    Summary

    It's been a long week- it's been a long season, if Zhenya wants to be honest- and both of them are sharp and irritated. Zhenya's house is big, but he and Sid have always gravitated to one another in some way or another, and it feels like all they've done for weeks is talk hockey or argue. It sparks that nasty, mean place in Zhenya that wants to draw blood.

    Summary

    Maybe it’s even a game between them; he catches Charles often enough, watching him, curious, bemused. He lets it go further than he would, otherwise.

    (a note: for the sake of historical accuracy, this story includes some outdated, however period-typical, language and attitudes, now rightly seen as regressive.)
