But Buck was putting Eddie first.

"We were on a date, yes."
"Okay…." Eddie faltered.
Why was he freaking out right now?
"Is that…weird?"
Yes. Eddie thought immediately.
"No. Absolutely not," he lied.
[…]
When Buck said he can't stop thinking about Tommy, Eddie was happy for him. And so he had told Buck to call Tommy, knowing that was the right thing for Buck to do.

Eddie sighs, and opens up his computer.
Fun things to do to express joy he types into Google.
He stares blankly at the pages of results that come up, and scrolls past a Reddit post from r/AskWomenOver30. He isn't a woman over 30. Maybe turning to the internet is a mistake.

(when you just can't seem) to shake the weight of living by WingedQuill

Summary
Geralt's muscles heave backwards, flinging him down against the bed. He tries to struggle upwards but it feels like he’s been buried beneath a mountain. Every inch of him is pressed completely still. His eyes close, and he’s left in the dark with nothing but his racing heart for company. He’s not tired, he’s never been less tired. But the curse wants him to sleep, it seems. It’ll force him to lie here until he does. How much of his life will it start to control, now that he’s declared war against it? Now that he knows it’s lurking in his bones, now that it doesn’t have to be subtle?
He swallows. Takes a long, deep breath, gathering every bit of courage he has to stop himself from slipping back into panic. He still has control over his lungs. He still has that.
For now.
(Or: Witchers don't retire. They stay on the Path until it kills them. They hunt monsters and they want nothing from life. This isn't exactly by choice.)

Summary
Shane Hollander only goes to the café near the rink because his daughter loves the hot chocolate.
The fact that Ilya Rozanov remembers Louise’s order, gives her free cookies, and looks suspiciously happy whenever they walk in is completely irrelevant.
Louise, however, seems to think the barista would fit perfectly into their little family.

Summary
“It’s okay. I don’t need anything.”
“I am not going to eat in front of you while you have nothing, Hollander,” Ilya scoffs. He plucks a can of cold ginger ale from the top shelf as casually as he can manage and slides it over the island, interrupting Hollander’s fidgeting thumbs. “You must be hungry, yes? It’s been hours since you left hotel. I can make something. Easy.”
“Make… what?” he asks warily.
Ilya rolls his eyes and tosses a look over his shoulder. “Do not worry. I will find something that works for your special hockey diet,” he teases. He reaches back into the fridge. “Tuna melt okay?”
“No,” Hollander says primly. “And it’s a disease. Not a diet.”
He pulls his hands out of the cold and turns, blinks. “What?”
