He was just a kid, just like Sidney, and far away from home. When Sidney didn’t look away, Evgeni mimed swinging a baseball bat, and Gonch was right; it was clear he had no idea what he was doing.

That was the first time Sidney thought they could maybe be friends.

Wait A Bit | @ninjaomelet | AO3 Locked | 8.2K - General Audiences

Tonight, they watched their jerseys rise up to the rafters, their numbers 87 and 71 never to be seen in Pittsburgh Gold on the ice again.

(Sid and Geno, and what comes after.)

The person—man, Sid sees, unfolds himself and stands, groaning. Sid’s hand tightens on his gun.

“Sidney?” the man says, and Sid can see he’s holding out his hands, open, to show he’s unarmed. Sid takes a few steps closer. The man moves back, and the light falls on him. He’s stark naked. There’s either dirt or blood or both streaked across his skin, and he’s shaking. “Sidney. Didn’t know where else to go.”

The air looks hazy, his fingers tingle, and there’s a feeling like his heart flops over.

Oh.

Oh, well that’s new.

In Geno’s final year as a Penguin, unexpected changes happen in his personal life. Sid has his back in ways he never anticipated.

When he got down to it, Zhenya knew Sid wasn’t as weird as everyone thought. Of course, that was before Zhenya learned exactly what made Sid a little weird in the first place.

Everyone knows Zhenya got the bite too early. Zhenya knows it most of all.
