This idea grabbed me first thing this morning and will NOT. LET. GO.
What if the reason Sid was so talented so early on was because Troy sold Sid's soul to a crossroads demon? And the injuries of the last few years are because the deal is coming due. Of course, Sid doesn't know anything about a demon deal and his current level of talent is purely because he works so hard at it and has for so long. Starting with all the little injuries and damage he's suffering, people start making jokes about him having a deal coming due (this being a world where that is a thing). Sid brushes them off, of course, because he knows he's never made any deals with anyone. Geno starts taking a closer look at things, though, because he comes from a long line of cursebreakers although he's never done much of it himself. Then he has to explain to Sid that yes, there was a deal and if Sid doesn't find a way out of it, he's done. Geno calls on the expertise of the Russian collective and also someone unexpected, like maybe Craig or Tanner (maybe going to Ivy League schools makes them good at getting people out of deals and that's why it's made such a big deal of?) and of course, Sid is freaking out because oh my god, he thought demon deals were just a myth, he didn't think anyone actually DID that. And maybe Mario helps too—he had a deal, but got out of it by paying a price (cancer) and was able to go back to hockey. Of course there's angst with Sid's parents, because Troy is completely unrepentant: Sid's had the opportunity to play all this time AND he won a Cup and how does Sid not appreciate what Troy did for him? Where Sid is all, hey, I did this for MYSELF by working hard even if the original talent came from the deal. The deal is finally successfully broken and in the midst of all this, Sid and Geno have fallen for each other (or more accurately, realize their feelings are more than friendship).
Someone really, really needs to write this. Please?
The girls Paulie nannies are both sitting at the table, carefully eating their eggs and toast. Caroline's hair is up in two neat braids and Emily has on the dress James knows is her favorite. They don't even have any crumbs on the table. Their bookbags and lunch boxes are sitting in the cubbies by the door, all ready to go.
Brian fell in the flower bed as they were walking in, so James is still in the doorway, brushing the mulch off his legs. Phillip's got...something smeared across his face, which, what they hell, they haven't even eaten yet.
When he finishes with Brian, he looks up at Paulie, who's smiling at him as he sets plates on the table.

Oh yes, that’s perfect. I feel like Paulie would be the best nanny and he’d lord his competence over nanny Nealer, but then stealthily help him out.
It’s so beautiful.

Dana is the Consol fire marshal, because he's crazy for the attention to detail. No one is overloading an electric socket under Dana's watch. Sometimes, he lets me inspect with him and watch when he gives someone hell about 'dangerous practices'.
Mario lets me invite the members of different fire companies to visit during practice sometimes. And they always want to hear about me, but I usually get them talking about the stuff they do, cause it's such an important job. Hockey is the best, but firemen save LIVES.

Let’s say I was a firefighter. Because I wanted to be one, you know. But I decided to go with my true love, hockey. I still think about it sometimes, rescuing kittens and stuff like...
