    Summary

    Dean is jumpy as shit. Why one possibly Icelandic beep-boop specialist has him on edge while Mick Jagger’s own vocal coach barely got his heart rate over 55bpm is a goddamn mystery. Maybe it’s the harp solos from that sample track; maybe Dean’s nervous that this is his last shot and if this guy can’t save Dean from filling out the back end of his contract with “Best Of” and “Live In Concert” compilations he might as well walk into the fucking sea.

    Summary

    Cliff would probably remember if he was there when Ilya met a woman so earth-shattering that he would chase after her for nearly a decade. Probably. Cliff thinks he would probably notice something as life-altering as a meeting like that. Who on earth is this woman and how did they find each other? Did Cliff watch Ilya’s life change before his eyes and not even realize what was happening?

     

    In the fall of 2017, Cliff Marlow notices evidence of Jane all over Ilya’s apartment. He decides to investigate.

    Summary

    “We just got to go in there,” Shane said, pointing at the door, “and decide how we want to lay out the room.”

    “Yes,” Ilya did a sharp decisive nod, before wincing and rubbing his head.

    They both stood there for a breath, and then Ilya ruined it.

    “For our Stanley cup.”

    Shane has indulged, maybe a bit too much, in his love of how good they are at hockey. Ilya does the opposite of complaining.
