Summary
He thinks about the times he’s heard his dad, his aunts and uncles, cousins, sports casters on the news joking about the hockey gods, wonders if they’re real. Maybe they are. Maybe if he works hard enough, gives them enough sweat and blood and time…

"I used to get off to thinking about you all the time,” Jacks starts, quiet and mortified into Luc’s pecs. “But when I thought about it, it was never like the way it is with us. It was never…it was never because you wanted me. I couldn’t imagine that."

Summary
The first time the press calls him Le Volé, it’s in English, written before he’s even put on his new jersey. Some dumbshit hot-take that starts off “From Next Next Next One to the Stolen One? How the Nordiques sniped Luc Chantal from San Jose.” The article gets bogged down in the middle with legal nonsense that Luc tries not to think about, and ends in whining about the NHLPA. It’s a mess of an article. Luc ignores it. But Québec, salty shits that they are, don’t drop it. Some 20 year old blogger writes an article that’s basically just “hes ourz now bitches LeVolé 4life lolololol”, which gets retweeted to hell and back, and like that Luc’s stuck with it.

Summary
Luc spends the time getting the supplies out and laying down a towel, before watching some TSN clips on his phone to pass the time, and having a silent conversation with his dick where he sadly informs the guy that he isn’t going to be main participant of this evening's activities. Sorry, champ, you’re healthy scratched tonight.

Summary
It doesn’t come up again until the late summer, when they come back to Quebec. Jacks is rooting around drawers and closets, shuffling stuff around making room to more fully move himself into their bedroom, when he sees the white-ribboned La Perla bag, pulls it out. “Did Sveta leave this here?” he asks, dubious.

Summary
“Hi,” the other kid said from where he was lying underneath Jacks, grinning up at him behind his face mask, “sick snapshot!”
“Hi.” Jacks grinned back.
In retrospect, it didn’t seem, at the time, like all that fateful of a moment. It hadn’t felt to Jacks, then, like the rest of his life suddenly clicked into place, even though it’s hard, now, not to think of it as the moment where it did.

Summary
“Chants,” he says, holding his hand out to shake. Straightforward. Firm handshake. Eye contact. No cheesy line. He has the most stupidly long eyelashes she’s ever seen on anyone and it’s grossly unfair.

Summary
“You’ve got a reputation of being a guy not afraid to throw off the mitts.”
“I enjoy fighting, but I’m not out there looking for beef, I’m there to play hockey” Chantal says, flashing his trademark grin.
“Don’t start nothin’, won’t be nothin?”
Chantal laughs, drags his hand through his hair, “yeah, something like that I guess.”
“And if someone starts something?”
Chantal sets his coffee cup down, and shrugs. “To quote the poet Wiz Khalifa, someone wants beef, they can come get it raw.”-Chantal, Raw ESPN Magazine, December 2027

“Are you mad at me?”
“I’m not mad at you.”
“Oh, crisse, it’s worse, you’re disappointed.”
“I’m not disappointed.”
“I can’t believe you’re mad at me, when this was at least 50% your fault.”
There’s a stunned silence. Finally Jacks says, “How exactly is you getting your ex-girlfriend pregnant half my fault. Please, Luc, explain that to me.”
