A fun gay hockey romance. If was weird to be that Kip seemed to have no real conception of the closet, but I'm also ~15 years older than him. (Although you'd think a wannabe historian with an interest in marginalized identities would have some idea.)
In any case because the show follows the book Heated Rivalry so closely, I was surprised by how it differed here. The changes seem largely reasonable for an adaption of a book to a TV episode and a couple of scenes in a later episode.
I liked Scott and Kip as characters, although I'm not clear that Scott likes Kip as much as he likes having an actual human relationship, but sometimes that's enough.
Most of the sex scenes felt like they were doing story work, although a couple of the playoffs ones felt like over egging the pudding.
This is a nice enough story, but it's really memorable because of its connection to the show.

Why did I read a story about any of this? "Queer poly rule unhealthily self-obsessed and destroys everything in its wake" is not that interesting to me.
