Summary
The absolute worst part about flying was the landing. Not the jarring, rubber-burning impact of the tires hitting the tarmac, but the dreadful, irrevocable finality of the seatbelt sign chiming off.
It was the sound of the spell breaking.
For five and a half hours, suspended thirty thousand feet above the continental United States, Kip Grady hadn’t been America’s Golden Boy. He hadn’t been the tragic, broken figure skater who collapsed on global television, and he certainly hadn't been the PR nightmare currently giving US Figure Skating executives an ulcer. For five and a half hours, he had just been a nineteen-year-old guy, tucked into the dim, pressurized cabin of a Boeing 757, safely anchored by the heavy, radiating body heat of the man sitting next to him.
Or:
The one where Scott and Kip return to New York and learn that sometimes it isn’t easy to keep promises.Series

Summary
The rain in the Writer’s District did not fall; it was dictated. It descended in straight, unrelenting lines, driven by a sky that looked less like clouds and more like spilled ink on wet parchment.
Gustave stood at the edge of the congregating crowd, the black wool of his mourning coat already heavy with dampness. He kept his left hand—the brass and piston construct—shoved deep into his pocket. The cold weather always made the metal contract, sending sharp, phantom aches shooting up from the mechanical forearm into the living flesh of his shoulder. He welcomed the pain. It was a grounding tether, a reminder that he was still here, even if the only person in this city who tolerated him was not.
Or:
The one where Gustave meets Verso in a dystopian Paris amidst the brewing civil war between the Painters and the Writers. -

Summary
The silence in the penthouse was physical. It didn't just hang in the air; it pressed down on Scott’s chest, heavy and suffocating, like a three-hundred-pound defenseman pinning him to the boards.
It was 3:42 AM.
Scott was sitting on the edge of the sprawling, unmade king-sized bed, wearing the same tailored tuxedo pants from the gala, his bowtie discarded somewhere in the hallway. He was staring at the floorboards between his bare feet. He hadn't moved in three hours. Not since he had watched Kip turn around, walk out the heavy oak door, and take all the warmth in the apartment with him.

Summary
Kip didn’t wake up, because waking up implied that at some point during the night, he had actually managed to fall asleep.
Instead, he just lay there as the pale, unforgiving gray of Saturday morning crept through the blinds of his childhood bedroom in Queens. His eyes burned, feeling like they were coated in crushed glass, and his chest possessed a tight, hollow ache that made drawing a full breath feel like a monumental task.
He rolled over, the springs of his old mattress groaning in the quiet apartment, and his gaze landed on the desk chair.
The suit was draped over the back of it. It looked out of place in his cramped, messy room—too sharp, too expensive, too imbued with the scent of Manhattan and expensive cologne. Kip stared at the dark fabric, his vision blurring.

Summary
"So, what's the plan, Golden Boy?" Scott asked, leaning back against the headrest, completely unbothered by Kip’s prickly demeanor. "You going to spend the whole flight glaring a hole through the fuselage, or are you going to accept that we're stuck together?"
"I prefer 'Golden Boy' to 'wall-crasher'," Kip shot back, a spark of genuine irritation finally overriding his exhaustion. "And for the record, figure skating requires precision, balance, and absolute control. It's an art form. Your sport requires a mouthguard and a high tolerance for concussions."
To Kip’s surprise, Scott didn't bristle. Instead, the corners of his mouth twitched, and a slow, devastating smile spread across his face. It fundamentally altered the hockey player's entire demeanor, erasing the stoic, intimidating aura and replacing it with something warm, incredibly charming, and deeply lethal.
Or:
The one where a 19-year-old figure skater Kip Grady attends his first ever Olympics and meets a 25-year-old Scott Hunter, the New York Admirals' center, who'll change his life forever.Series

After Maelle's victory, Gustave is struggling to adjust. If it weren't so damn pathetic, it might even be funny: the broken engineer, unable to fix himself. But with Lumière in ruins, there is no time for self-pity. His people need him, and he won't let them down.
Never again.
Now if only Verso bloody Dessendre would stop accidentally falling asleep on his furniture…
Or: Verso can't sleep unless Gustave is near. Somehow, it becomes Gustave's problem to solve — and the key to both their salvation. (Complete, updates twice a week)

“I think the phrase is ‘I don’t bite’.”
Jack’s grin widens.
“That’s the problem. I do bite.”
Robby fears his recovery is going to feel very long.
