    Then it’s Friday night and Kip is on his way to his first ever client. He told his dad he has a new job pet-sitting to explain the weird hours and overnight absences that are about to occur, and felt more than a little guilty when George patted his shoulder and told Kip how proud he was of him for working so hard.

    Well, he wouldn’t be proud of this, Kip thinks as he walks through the lobby of a fancy East Side apartment building. About to give the guy in the penthouse the boyfriend experience he booked. All 16 hours of it.

    -
    Kip finds a more lucrative side gig than smoothie barista. And then he finds Scott.

    Eighteen year-old Kyle Swift has been banished from Vermont and sent to navigate a life in New York City on his own, with a wallet chain, a thin thread of financial support, and occasional phone calls where an entire family had once been. Haunted by the shadows of every mistake he’s ever made leading up to the one that blew apart his entire life, Kyle is desperate for the fresh start his mother keeps claiming this is, and he’s desperately hoping to stop making the same stupid mistakes.

    But then there are the things Kyle hasn't told Eric about. How he sometimes dreams about being chased through the forest by a large shadow of a wolf. He can hear it panting, can feel the ground shake beneath his own feet with the impact of its massive paws as it runs. When the wolf catches up to him, it stalks him, corners him. Its breath hot on the back of Kyle's neck and then he's pushed to the ground, on his back, front paws holding his shoulders down, and he really sees the wolf for the first time. Its features beautiful in the light of the full moon, and its strength deadly.

    But not for Kyle. He's tamed the beast. He's in control. This is just a game.

    Kyle shares a fantasy with Eric.

    Three years isn't that long, really. It's long enough to get a Master's Degree in Art History. Long enough to build the foundations of a relationship that could last the rest of their lives. Long enough for a professional hockey player to figure out how to tell the world he's gay.

    "These road trips are just killing me. I mean, it's brutal. I think I'm cursed," Scott sighs, throwing the last couple of shirts into his bag. No smoothie, no win, has been the trend lately. And it's not like he can just whisk Kip away and take him on the road with the team to ensure his good luck.

    "Don't even joke about that." Kip looks thoughtful where he's leaning against the doorway to Scott's bedroom. And so, so beautiful. Scott can barely make himself stop looking at Kip some days. Staring. Marvelling. "Maria got cursed once, it was terrible."

    1987. New York Admirals Captain Scott Hunter is fifteen seasons deep into the kind of hockey career most players can only dream of and keeping one hell of a secret. He navigates his life in NYC, intimately aware at every turn that a single photograph or a trace of a rumor could end his livelihood.

    Kip Grady has never known how to hide. A grad student and early organizer for ACT UP, he spends his days marching through the Village and organizing mutual aid, fighting for a queer community battling for its life against a devastating epidemic. When their paths cross, Scott is forced to consider the limits of his carefully constructed closet and decide if he is finally ready to stand in the light.

    OR: Scott and Kip meet in 80s NYC at the height of the AIDS crisis.

    Additional Spoilers Here

    I promise that these characters do not, at any point, contract HIV: Scott, Kip, Ilya, and Shane.

    Scott and Kip, as well as Shane and Ilya, will all have the happiest ending possible given the constraints of the time period.

    2026-06-27

    This work explores the previously unseen three and a half years in the lives and the relationship of characters Scott Hunter and Kip Grady from Season 1 of the Heated Rivalry television series created by Jacob Tierney. It begins where Episode 3 ("Hunter") ends and ends with the final scene of Episode 5 ("I'll Believe in Anything"). It follows Kip's growth from smoothie barista to graduate student and beyond. It accompanies Scott on his journey as a lonely and conflicted professional hockey star who became the Game Changer he was destined to be. And it chronicles the path to sunshine for their relationship.

    Season 1 of the 2025 Heated Rivalry television series is treated as canon, and this work assumes the reader is very familiar with the show and especially the Scott and Kip characters within it. A few elements are inspired by events in the book Game Changer by Rachel Reid or other books in the series, but only to the extent that it does not conflict with TV canon. There are several original characters and new roles for familiar ones.

    Maria is shaken by another wave of laughter. “He got back together with his hockey man during playoffs. You beautiful idiot.”

    “And what does that mean?”

    Kip sighs. “They have this, like, superstition, I guess. That you’re not allowed to have sex during playoffs or you’ll lose your games. Or whatever.”

    Shawn laughs, sounding a little bit evil. “How long do playoffs last?”

    “Don’t ask,” Kip replies darkly.

    “What makes him your best client?” Kip asks.

    “He’s nice, his dog is well behaved, the apartment is insane, and he has a very set schedule. It’s not a daily gig, it’s kind of random. You have to stay at his place in the Upper West Side a few times a week, but again, the apartment is amazing. He’s some kind of athlete? So the schedule is also nuts. But he gives, like, six months of dates in advance.” Maria answers.

    A set schedule of dates works for Kip, who is, these days, trying to make his own schedule.

    “And,” Maria smiles wide, “I think you’ll like him.”

    That beatific expression will come back to him, five days later, when he meets Scott Hunter for the first time.

    ---

    Kip Grady is a PhD student who takes a side-gig walking Scott Hunter's dog. Along the way: the precarity of academia vs hockey; keeping something good at arm's length despite an innate desire for safety and love; gratuitous metaphors about both.

    “I want you to stay here tonight.”

    Scott squeezes, and Kip thinks he can feel the bones in his wrist press together. Is he strong enough to break them? Would he try?

    Of course not, Kip thinks. That’s crazy. It’s just a game. But he really wants it to bruise, at least.

    Have you ever looked at Kip and Scott and thought to yourself, what if these lovely two people who are so good for each other were a toxic mess instead? If so, this one is for you.

    Scott took his sunglasses from the side pocket of his backpack and put them on. His phone vibrated. He pulled it out and there it was: a picture of Kip and Elena from across the street. Kip smiling, Elena pouting. Below it, the caption: "Please don't die crossing this sea of people."

    Scott laughed to himself, put the phone away, and pushed the door open.

    The screams of excitement crashed over Scott like a wave. Fans crowded the sides of the path, many with tears in their eyes, others with their arms reaching over the metal barricades, everyone wanting a piece of that night. Happy shouts celebrating the victory, hoarse voices declaring their love for the team, words of pride and admiration. Scott smiled slightly, giving a general wave as he walked, sharing looks of gratitude to both sides – until the smile froze on his face.

    "THEY TURNED HOCKEY GAY?! SERIOUSLY?! FUCK YOU, HUNTER!"

    The voice cut through the air like a blade. Scott swallowed hard, his eyes finding a compact group on the other side of the metal barricades. Not happy at all. Men, mostly, their expressions twisted with hate, being held back by the police officers doing security.

    "HOPE YOU DIE, YOU FAGGOT!"

    Sometimes, Scott feels Kip’s absence like a ghost.

    It’s a brush of fingertips down his spine, a soft exhale of breath that sends goosebumps across the back of his neck.

    But when he turns, Kip is never there.
