Summary
Sometimes finding your place means letting go of old happiness. Sometimes the people you love are better off without you. Sometimes you're better off without the people you love.
Struggling to let go of his once best friend, Jesse finds comfort in the company of another boy wrestling with the same feelings of displacement and rejection, albeit for very different reasons. Eugene Labao, ex-reserve for Jesse's ex-best friend's new team, is exactly who Jesse needs, and while Seiji found belonging at Kings Row, Jesse's not convinced Eugene can ever find belonging there now.
It's a good thing there's an achingly empty spot on Exton's fencing team.

Summary
“Something had changed between them… Aiden [had] slipped out of his hands like water.”
Harvard, a newly-promoted starship captain, returns to his home planet for a restful break away from life-or-death situations that hinged on his decisions. Unfortunately, the need for decision making follows him back.
Aiden, the son of the ogliarch who owns about half of the galaxy they live in, is unsatisfied with a life that, by anyone else’s standards, would be considered desirable or even perfect. However, soon, he’s thrown into situations and must face challenges he could never have imagined (the challenges in question? emotional intimacy).
(Title from Speak Now by Taylor Swift)

Summary
Fame is a fickle and frustrating thing, both allusive and invasive.
Fame found Seiji Katayama when he was seven years old as his genius on the piano captivated the world, but twenty-five-year-old pianists aren’t nearly as interesting or impressive to the world.
Fame found Nicholas Cox when he was twenty-four, sweeping him up from the life of a mechanic with a guitar and a band in a shabby clubhouse to a rockstar on his second national tour in a year.
Their fames never should have intersected. They never would have. If not for an incident almost a decade in the past that gets dug up for Nick’s new celebrity status: a solo piano concert and a custodian shoving the prodigy himself into his piano. Now, fame makes a mess of both men as they face the consequences of that single point of overlap.

Summary
Aiden, despite what Harvard liked to say, was not negligent in his duties to teach a younger generation. He was, very simply, not interested in describing the basics of logical reasoning to a room of hungover twenty year olds.
That's what he told himself, as he blindly fumbled to turn off his alarm for the third time, lips working on drawing out soft sounds from Harvard's sweet mouth.

Summary
“It was thrilling, to succeed at something. He wasn’t the best fencer in the school or the top of his class, but he could do this. He could make himself smaller and, he discovered, could make himself something other people wanted to look at - wanted to do more than just look at.”
Beauty, hunger, desirability: all synonymous to one another for Aiden Kane. But does it have to be this way?
(Title from Broken Glass by Lorde)

Summary
Nicholas Cox and Seiji Katayama were destined to be friends and stay friends until an event changed their lives and tore them apart. For Nicholas, it hadn’t bothered him nor changed how he saw Seiji but Seiji, on the other hand, felt the opposite, letting it build a sense of enmity in himself.
Nicholas hadn’t expected to see Seiji again, not after so many years, and especially not in fencing. He doesn’t understand Seiji and his ways anymore, confused by why Seiji holds something against him.
Seiji can’t help but have a love-hate relationship with Nicholas, at least inside his mind.
Can they go past this and rebuild once more?

“If Kally is all logic, then Tanner is anything but”
Logic and pining are, unfortunately, non-commutative when you’re a teenager.

Summary
“Not everyone can be Seiji Katayama, but the Kings Row team has more than enough capable fencers.”
Teammates are supposed to help each other, provide support, work to achieve a shared goal. So, why does Aiden feel nothing but distance from his?

Summary
The world of Menarths has gone for a long period of time without any disturbances of the greater peace (for the most part, excluding the time there was a war between the country of Mistfold and South Pelinath, but that's besides the point), but when the princess of Mistguard disappears through a treacherous gate on the other side of the known world, the King holds a tournament to search for the best fighters in the land. Hopefully, in creating a solid party of adventurers, the princess can be safely found and brought back to the place she belongs.
His hires include the paladin Harvard Lee, infamous for solving a werewolf problem without silver, a sportfuck bard from a noble house, Aiden Kane, a monk from a part of Lowtown with a heart of gold (and, perhaps, a surprising understanding of the blade), Eugene Labao, the renowned monster hunter Seiji Katayama, traveled from the largest city in the world just to be hired, and an underdog fighter who cost a lot of people their bets, Nicholas Cox.
This was, to put it lightly, an utterly terrible idea.

Summary
“No, no. It’s cool. We’ve been best friends for almost as long as I can remember. Best friends– uh– tell each other stuff like that. Locker room talk."
“Right. Best friends are always telling each other about their kinks and pushing their beds together and kissing each other for practice.”

Summary
An argument that spirals, and all its consequences.

Summary
"He sent you postcards every day whenever he went away, to say, Thinking of you."

Summary
It’s not that Aiden has a thing. Like, seriously, he doesn’t have a thing.
It’s more of a feeling that sometimes arises in very specific situations. Like when Harvard pushes him into one of the changing room stalls, and kisses the breath out of him.
