Follow the North Star

***Follow the North Star*** is a work by Taylor Fitzpatrick in the You Could Make a Life universe. It features Evan Connelly, Roman Novák and Harry Chalmers.

The story started as a short spin-off to *In Taking It Apart*, following the adventures of a group of Minnesota North Stars rookies trying to figure out the identity of Liam's boyfriend (and source of baking goods). It can be read as a stand-alone, and is still available on AO3.

It was later expanded into a full series beginning February 12, 2017. The inspiration for the love triangle came from an anonymous ask. The story was completed on February 14, 2018.

## Timeline and point of view

The story is told from multiple points of view, including both main and secondary characters (in order of first appearance): Devon Michaels, Harry Chalmers, Valeri Asenov, Victor Kjeldsen, Roman Novák, Liam Fitzgerald, Mike Brouwer and Evan Connelly.

Being the main characters, Harry's and Roman's points of view are the most recurrent ones (72% of total), and they always alternate, with other characters thrown in from time to time. However, Evan's point of view is notably absent except for the very last part. Taylor Fitzpatrick purposely withheld his point of view to preserve tonal coherency and narrative tension.

The story covers the 2022-2023 season. By that time, the status of gay players in the league is different. Marc and Dan are still the poster child couple, Jules has continued to do activist work, Seb’s married, Derek’s accidentally told everyone about him and Andy and Robbie’s out. Some other non-pov characters are out as well.

## Links to other stories

* It works as a spin-off from *In Taking It Apart* and reading it first is often recommended. The main characters in that series, Liam Fitzgerald and Mike Brouwer, are POV characters.
* Evan Connelly's favourite player is Gabe Markson and he wears #53 in his honour. Evan met Gabe once.
* Harry Chalmers hated David Chapman as a kid.
