Summary
She knew. Victoria could tell she knew exactly where this was going; she just wanted Victoria to say it out loud.
Victoria took a breath, steadying herself.
“You’ve made my night very interesting.”
Cassie’s expression didn’t change, but something in her eyes sharpened.
“You’ve been so perfectly nice,” Victoria continued, her voice low, “and that’s honestly… frustrating.”
Cassie tilted her head. “Frustrating how?”
Victoria swallowed, adrenaline buzzing through her veins. “Because I don’t want nice from you right now.”OR, Victoria's has a one-night stand with a bartender, and it becomes something else entirely a few months later.

Summary
Samira Mohan is a Senior in College trying to balance it all. She has never known anything but skating her entire life, and from pressure pulling from all sides, from student life, to her internship, she's never known what it means to slow down. She has to make it to the Winter Olympics while keeping herself afloat, and she certainly doesn't have the time for a beautiful hockey player to uproot everything she thought mattered to her.
In walks Trinity Santos, a prideful, headstrong, passionate hockey player who also puts herself entirely into everything she does. She doesn't know when to quit, especially when she has to battle to qualify for nationals and to win the heart of the figure skater who had the nerve to step into the rink next to her.
Skating is everything to them, but what will their battle to gain an edge on their competitors and each other cause them to fall apart or come together?

Summary
Manousous tunes the portable radio to 8.6130 KHz. He beckons Carol into the cage and seals the door. It does nothing for a little while. Carol feels the weight of impending failure ripening in her stomach. Then a fizzle. The four beats turn to static, and the radio cuts out intermittently. Carol cheers, whooping excitedly. Manousous startles, and Carol riles him up.
“This – oh my god, we did it!”
Manousous doesn’t understand her words. But he does understand her emotions. He feels them, himself. He grins, whooping simultaneously.

Deplurbed Zosia, because it's all my brain can think of recently, apparently. This is a write of what I think the process and aftermath would be. This will probably immediately become non canon-compliant the second s2 comes out, but we've got two years until then.
