Summary
AFTG from Andrew's POV (for those hardcore simps who, like me, are looking for another reason to re-read the series) (updated usually Tuesdays and weekends)
‘For the love of God, Andrew, put that down before you hurt someone.’ The coach of the Palmetto Foxes sighed heavily sending his most defiant player a murderous glare.
‘You’re no fun, Coach.’ The blonde, who was currently vigorously swinging an Exy racquet in the air, grinned back.
‘If only you had as much energy when we practiced, you -’
‘Aren’t you tired of repeating yourself, Kevin? Or do you just like to listen to yourself speak so much?’ Andrew interrupted the dark haired man who was standing in a safe distance leaning against the wall looking through a pile of files. A shame. Andrew thought, taking another swing with the too light striker racquet. A shame, that I can’t smash that stupid face. By accident, of course.- Language:

Summary
What happens when 'happily ever after' has its own ending?
Jean Moreau had never truly believed in those words. 'Forever' was as much a fantasy as his fourth year at USC had been. It was as much a fantasy as Jeremy himself was. Dreams ended. The sun set. Nothing good lasted, so of course they didn't either. It was best not to hope.
Jeremy Knox did believe in those words, even after so long of having to live one day after another that tried to prove him wrong. Dreams could be made real. The sun always rose. They'd had such a good life and hard times never lasted forever. Hope was the best thing to hold close.
Three years after the End, Jean and Jeremy find themselves on the same professional exy team in Chicago. As past, present, and future collide, they have to confront old wounds and long silences to make the most dangerous decision of their lives: What is worth a second chance?

This is everything!!
So much pain. So many tears. So many stupidly happy grins and little squeals.
This is second-chance romance at its finest, folks.

Summary
Sometimes, when Jean shows up, the soft rev of his motorcycle announcing his arrival, James joins him and they work in comfortable silence together. Other times, James steps into his backyard after a day out of the house, and the only signs Jean has been there are the neatly trimmed bushes, weedless soil, and a basket full of fresh vegetables sitting on the back steps.
5 AM for a student-athlete who had played a tough game the night before is just too early for James to let slide. He sighs and flicks on the coffee machine before making his way outside.
Or, a collection of moments where Jean gardens and Rhemann helps his kid heal.
