Summary
If Andrew had met Neil today, at the ripe age of twenty-five, when the dark is just the dark and not a threat, and when he doesn’t need to balance on rooftops to feel things anymore - maybe things would be different.
Maybe better than okay.
But he didn’t meet Neil today - he met him seven years ago as Aaron’s new friend, when the word "want" was a foreign body in his mouth, and so things are just okay.
He is okay, and he is in love with his best friend, who isn't in love with him, and it is okay.

Summary
According to the team, Andrew is currently losing a custody battle for Neil against a sport invented by the mafia.
It’s a running joke in the locker room: Neil cares about Exy, and then, distant second, he cares about breathing. Andrew is somewhere on the list, probably below the new backliner spread Kevin found.
Andrew doesn't bother correcting them. He knows the difference between a distraction and a destination. He knows Neil runs until his lungs burn to keep the ghosts quiet, but he also knows exactly whose bed Neil crawls into when the adrenaline fades.
(Or: 5 times the team thought Neil loved the sport more than the goalkeeper, and one time Neil made the hierarchy terrifyingly clear.)

Summary
When James, a famous children's author, suddenly requests that Regulus creates the art for his new book, Regulus thinks there must be a mistake. He normally illustrates fantasy novels, not books for younger readers. But when he reads the first part of James's book, Regulus realises that it's very different from his previous ones. This is a fantasy book for adults. And Regulus is hooked from the very first page.
