Summary
In the story of Kent’s life, Jack is the one who got away.
(Or: Kent collects little pieces of Jack, over the years.)
(Or: Kent’s always had a bad habit of pushing hard on his bruises the next day, just to feel how something can leave a ache long after it’s done hurting you. Maybe that’s why he’s at this wedding.)

Summary
“You have to understand, Jack’s stuff, it’s so specific to his perspective,” Lardo says. “I like his photos because it’s like looking at the world through his eyes. So I guess you could say his world is…”
“Bitty,” Shitty exhales. “His world is Bitty.”
Or: 4 times Shitty was oblivious about Jack’s sexuality, +2 times he wasn’t.

Summary
It’s almost funny. All he ever wanted was to play hockey, to play in the NHL, to win the Cup. This—Samwell, the team, the Haus—was supposed to be just a detour, but now it feels more like a destination he failed to realize he’s already reached.
(Or: Jack signs with the Falconers, graduates, and leaves. It's the hardest thing he's ever done. What comes after is even harder.)

Summary
In 2009, Jack Zimmermann was drafted 2nd overall to the Providence Falconers. After a tumultuous first season in the minors, Jack returns to the NHL and is named captain within a year. Known to the media as the "hockey robot," no one seems to be able to break through the polite barrier that Jack has built — no one until Eric Bittle, newest intern at NBC 10. Bitty, interning as a requirement for his journalism degree at nearby Samwell University, forms an instant connection with Jack. Throughout the rest of the season, and the rest of Bitty's junior year at Samwell, the two grow closer while learning how to both trust each other and succeed in their respective careers.

Patater, Rural Ohio in Autumn by hwaelweg for Freebooter4Ever
Fandoms: Check Please! (Webcomic)

Summary
It would be easier, probably, if they hadn’t hooked up not long after Kent had gone first in the draft. Kent had flown to Russia for some hockey showcase, and they’d spent the whole week together, playing hockey, touring the city, going to clubs. Alexei, because he wasn’t yet Tater in those days, had been besotted. He really liked Kent—as a person and as a hockey player. And on the last night, they’d hooked up in Kent’s hotel room. The sex had been great—well when you’re a horny 18-year-old all sex is great sex—but it had gone rapidly downhill from there. Within an hour, Alexei had found himself in a cab with a broken heart. It wasn’t until the next morning he even realized he’d left his lucky scarf.
Now, ten years later, they’re trapped in a car together in rural Ohio.
“This is definitely not the road to Bitty’s uncle’s cabin,” Kent snipes.
“I know that,” snaps Tater, who definitely didn’t know that.

Summary
The professor has resumed her lecture by the time the girl slides into the seat beside Derek, but he's not paying much attention anymore. The girl beside him smiles again and offers a formal hand. "Hey," she says softly as Derek shakes her hand. "I'm Sierra."
Sierra is the kind of girl Derek always imagined being with. She's chill, smart, and beautiful, and she has no trouble keeping up with his friends. She's into literature but also gets hockey, and her smile could cause a captain to beach his ship. She's everything he's ever wanted, but reality often doesn't stand up against imagination.
While Derek tries to love Sierra the way he wants to, Dex becomes his favourite person to be around, due in part to the fact that Dex is the only member of SMH less invested in Derek's relationship than Derek himself.

Summary
Kent time travels (he thinks; it’s either that or he’s gone off the deep end once and for all), gets married to some Russian guy built like a tree, acquires two children, one of whom isn’t even his, freaks out, and grows up. In that order.

Summary
Jack's not very good at noticing common threads. So it takes him the longest time, over a year, before he realizes what's been different in the Haus. It's not something that's present, so much as something that's missing. And it's this: that Bittle calls everyone pet names.
Everyone but Jack.

Summary
They're just baking, after all. And maybe it's totally necessary for Jack to stand up against him like that, to get in close to help roll the dough- well, it's not necessary at all for Jack's fingers to make their way under his shirt and tickle his stomach.

Bitty hummed, turning off the mixer, and said, “Actually, sugar, my advice is much more subtle.” He grabbed a spatula, scraping down the sides of the bowl, and then pointed it at Dex. “Stop being an ass.”
Dex squawked. “What? I am not-”
“You really are.”Or, Dex learns love through baking, and a few other things happen along the way.

Summary
Some days, it felt like Will’s life passed him in the blink of an eye. It felt like just yesterday that he was a middle schooler, stepping onto the ice for the first time in hand-me-down skates. Another blink, and he was playing hockey for his middle school team. Blink again, and he was the captain of his high school hockey team and, even as a defenseman, was on the scoreboard more often than some team forwards.
And now? Now, Will was at Samwell, where his life was about to change.
