Summary:
It's 2015 and Sid is playing the worst he's ever played in the NHL.
He's made it through the worst before. The injuries, coach and media drama. Lockouts. Unexpected losses of teammates. Those things affect his game, of course they do, but he's always battled back. Always. That history should give him confidence, a level of trust in his experience and resilience but… he's playing the worst he's ever played in the NHL and he tries to pretend he doesn't know why.
The thing is, he still looks at Geno's face first when they score. He can't help it, even if he does look away as soon as he remembers to. Geno still grins at him like he always does, when it's a good one, face lighting up and relaxing a moment away from his game focus, eyes rounding soft and bright, jaw loose and teeth gleaming.
He wishes that Geno-
Well. There are a lot of impossible things Sidney wishes for these days.

All done and posted!! I’m actually really proud of this one because I really pushed myself to lean into the angstier side of what I could write and not fall into icky hyperbole and melodrama (I hope). Also looking back to the 15-16 era is really cathartic right about now. Thank you everyone who’s been reading along this past month!
