I started writing this quite a while ago, so it takes place in a world where Joner never got traded and the Kings exercised a normal buyout of Mike's contract. This is less a linear narrative and more a collection of scenes from a life as it goes on. I was really having fun writing it, but unfortunately I didn't finish it before I needed to move on from hockey. I did write out what else would have happened so there is some closure to the story.
Content Note: Various real world partners, children, siblings, and other family members appear in this story. Skip it if that's not your thing.

This is a companion of sorts to the Pears/Richie kneeling AU. (Well, actually the Pears/Richie was supposed to be adjacent to this, but that's the one I wrote.) While Tanner is assigned to Mike, Tyler is assigned to Jeff. I talked a lot about this, but never actually wrote the story. There's also a Mike and Jeff talking about Pears bit in here.
