Title: this house doesn’t burn down slowly

Rating: R || Status: Complete
Summary: The thing is, Phil wasn’t really sure they’d still live together this year. There’s honestly no reason to — there wasn’t really ever a reason to. They’re professional, adult hockey players. But then the rest of the summer passed with a slew of text messages and pictures of caught fish and birdies on the golf course and Stella updates, and neither of them said anything about Bozie moving out. Bozie showed up on his doorstep a few days before training camp with two suitcases and a dog bone for Stella, and Phil had let him in with a backslapping hug and a ruffle to his stupid, spiked hair, and that had been that.

Summary: The name on Tyler’s wrist reads Philip. The scrawl is exactly the same as the one across the back of Phil’s credit cards, along his contract extensions and on the mortgage paperwork for his condo.
It’s on Tyler’s wrist and it’d be fine, it really would, except Phil’s wrist reads Brittany.

Summary: She puts the number into her phone as Phil’s friend. Phil has a lot of friends, more than Amanda knows. For all that the media shits on him, he’s easy to like away from the camera. He’s always meeting up with old buddies during the summer to shoot the shit and grill out in someone’s backyard. This guy could be anybody, really, except for Bozie, because Amanda already has Bozie’s number in her phone.

Summary: Phil used to think weddings were okay until one took over his parents’ house. Turns out, weddings are the worst. Inconvenient feelings aren’t too great, either, but Phil’s been dealing with those for years now. Minus last April, he’d been doing a pretty good job of ignoring them, too.
(Or, the one where Blake Kessel is getting married, but this story isn’t about that and Phil is the only one who thinks it is.)
