Summary
Since leaving seminary, Vincent has lived a life absent of any stillness but that which can be cultivated from within. To him, life in the Vatican seems almost the opposite - men who live in stillness, who must generate all their sound and fury themselves. Thomas, at least, does not seem to feel the need to take up space, to make big expansive gestures simply to fill the room.

Summary
Roy loads the stupid pink leopard thing into Keeley's car, carefully wrapping a stray hoodie around its head to keep its stupid little porcelain ears from getting chipped on its journey to her new life. He takes the plane tickets out of his jacket pocket and stares at them for a moment. Then he stomps back inside, plants his feet in the middle of the lobby, and bellows, "TARTT!"
Jamie's naked top half pops out of the doorway to the gym. "Yeah, Coach?"
Roy tucks the tickets back into his jacket and says, "Let's fucking go."

Summary
The hoopoe flew far beneath them, a mere speck of rust with its handsome black bars, no larger than a beetle; and then he saw it was quite close and truly was no larger than a beetle, its whole wingspan eclipsed by the length of his thumb alone. He caught it gently in his cupped hands, as if a butterfly, and very cautiously opened a gap between his fingers for its tiny head to poke out, the size of a grain of rice. "Sure even the least of all weevils will be too large for you, my friend," Stephen told it, and having nothing else to offer he released it; it was visible for only a breath, then disappeared, too small to see at any distance.

Jack did not forget what he had meant to say. But he felt the words were suddenly quite a long way off, minuscule white sails disappearing fast over the horizon, while creeping up on his lee was a great hot dark storm.

Summary
Ellis made an amused noise, drawing Robby's attention. "You know, Dana's enlisted everyone in finding a kinship foster."
"Don't look at me," Robby said instantly, just like he'd said to Dana, an actual jolt of horror pitching his gut at the idea.
Ellis went entirely innocent. "What I'm seeing is you looking mighty comfortable over there. And you got nothing but time."

"Do you like karaoke?" Trinity asked, which wasn't a question that Mel could answer in a particularly empirical manner. Mel generally found bars and clubs to be intimidating. But maybe that might be different if she went into one of them with a friend?

Ilya looked at him like he’d said something stupid. Shane cringed. “No, it is good for me,” Ilya said, his lip curling up. “Healthy competition.”After Sochi, Shane starts sleeping with another man. After Vegas, he picks back up with Ilya, too.

Summary
Jaw Man flicked his middle finger up at Ilya, who didn’t seem to mind, and gestured towards Shane and Hayden with raised eyebrows. “The f*** are you even doing right now, man.”
Ilya said briefly, “Orgy.”
“Uh,” said Shane, “no, that’s not—”
Ilya grinned at him. It was a mean-edged grin but something about it seemed to suggest that he was joking with Shane, rather than about him. “Oh, he speaks.”
“We’re not here for an orgy,” Shane said to Jaw Man. “We’re missionaries with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.”

Summary
“Shane Hollander’s having a big gay wedding.”
Ilya’s ball rocketed sideways into the woods with a crack like a rifle shot; somewhere in the trees, a goose honked in outrage.
“Jesus Christ,” Tyler said.
“Wow,” Marly said. “That was…what the fuck was that, Roz?”
Ilya was gripping the club so hard his knuckles had gone white. “Bad swing.”
“That wasn’t a bad swing, that was like a physics-defying swing. I didn’t know you could make a ball go in that direction. You okay?”
“Fine.” Hollander was getting married. Getting gay married. Who the fuck was Hollander marrying? He wasn’t even… Ilya cleared his throat, shoved his biggest club back in the bag, noted distantly that his hands were shaking. “Hollander is gay?”OR: Ten years after the Tampa Bay All-Star Game, Ilya Rozanov crashes Shane Hollander's wedding

Summary
“Hollander’s Metros have had a challenging few years, with back-to-back knee injuries and a concussion keeping the two-time Stanley Cup winner and Olympic gold medalist off the ice for three consecutive postseason runs. Hollander is apparently back to fighting trim, but everyone’s wondering if that will still be true come April. The Metros have promised that they’re behind their franchise star one hundred percent, but there are signs they might be hedging their bets. The Metros announced last week that they have penned a deal with San Francisco’s dynamic young Russian star, center Ilya Rozanov. The move has sent shockwaves through MLH, as San Francisco was widely expected to sign a contract extension with Rozanov, who became a restricted free agent in June.”

Summary
“Adventurous,” Ilya said, smiling sharply.
“Shut up.”
“This is unlike you.”
“Shut up.”
Ilya did, pulling open the sealed cardboard slots instead and upturning the box over his palm, not all that careful considering its contents were glass, letting the bottle fall into his hand.
“Shit, Rozanov,” Shane said, exasperated. “I was going to return it.”
“Oh, no, you will go broke now?" Ilya popped the cap off the perfume and sprayed it at Shane.Shane Hollander finds a hobby.
