Summary
After Nathan MacKinnon clutches up and wins gold for Canada when Sidney Crosby gets injured, he gets a phone call.
“Tonight only. One night. You can.” Malkin says, and Nate’s stomach feels like it’s going to fall out of his ass.
“What.” It isn’t a question. His brain is spinning. Feverish. There’s no way Malkin means what Nate’s grasping greedy mind leaped to.
“I’ll let you.” Malkin continues, “Just this one time. You can say I gave permission. You understand this?”
Nate’s mouth is dry.
“If this is your idea of a joke—“
“Is most serious I have ever been. Say thank you, MacKinnon.”

Summary
Dark can’t help the flinch, through his trapezius, his shoulders—and Gerry couldn’t miss it, crammed right fucking beside him. But Gerry doesn’t let up his half-whispered rant. “You get too close to someone, your judgment disintegrates.” The consonants hiss in the dark.
Brendan sits stonily through the chewing out.
“Leadership cannot have lapses. Every life has to be expendable. Every relationship has to be expendable.”
“If only I could be more like you. No conscience but the cause,” he retorts. “Gerry Adams the incorruptible.”
Gerry’s eyes sharply narrow. “Are you comparing me to fucking Robespierre?”
“Who the fuck is Rob Speer?”

Summary
"Do you think I did it on purpose?”
Matt wants to know the answer, maybe more than anything else he’s here to do. It doesn’t change anything about the past. He still wants to know.
Leon sighs just loudly enough that Matt can hear it across the space between them. “Welcome to Berlin, Matt.”
Or: Matt ships himself over to Germany at the end of a cupless career with the Flames and winds up with his ex as his coach. They both figure out how to handle it.

Summary
Nathan MacKinnon was always destined for either:
1. Greatness
2. Self DestructionHe'd rather not choose the latter.
Aka the relationship that changed a Canadian small town and started an NHL Legend.
