Summary
“Do you ever miss it?”
Max thinks of the nights spent in warm company, of fumbled kisses in his shitty car, the soft strumming of guitar drowning the clink of beer bottles and whitened fists sixteen houses away. He thinks of what he could have been if he never left, cold and blue and bruised. Or maybe he’d be watching the love of his life send stadiums silent in awe with his voice alone.
“No.” Max responded gruffly with eyes turned down, because surely otherwise his emotions would lay plainly in their swimming depths. He wasn't allowed to miss what he gave up.
or: How Max's childhood journal produced the most popular album of the year, the one that his first love, Charles Leclerc, created. If only the rest of the world would stop trying to figure out who the mysterious writer MV is.

Summary
Max was stunned silent, mouth dropped open in shock as he looked up at Charles.
Yes, look up from where he was currently knelt below Charles, who was looking awfully smug above him. That fucker knew the entire time, didn't he?
And the room. Max had seen it a moment before and had blinked at it for a second too long, but now in the centre of the decorations, Max understood.
This was a proposal.
There were rose petals shaped in a heart on the floor, candles dripping wax onto their floors, a ring, pushed into his hand. Oh god, this was a proposal.
Max was proposing to Charles without even realising they were dating.
He groaned.
OR: How Max accidentally started dating his lifelong rival, Charles Leclerc.

Summary
It was night when Charles won his first championship.
The crowd roared in a wave of rosso corsa, bleeding for him as he drank down glittering swallows of gold. The spotlights shone down from above, and if he squinted just right he could pretend it was the middle of the day.
But it wasn't.
It was night and he was inconsolable.

Summary
It was that time of year again.
It was towards the end of the season, and Max wasn't home.
Last year, Max had spent the entire weekend break on the simulator in their apartment, eyes locked on the same track, going around and around and around in dizzying spirals. When he had finished, he would fall asleep, exhausted, on their bed. Some days, Charles would come home to see him asleep on the chair of the sim itself.
Each day, Charles would come home later and later, distract himself longer and longer. Max was always asleep when he returned.
But even then, when Max had been his most distant, he had been there. At home.
This year, Max wasn't.
or: The unravelling of a Formula One driver's hidden relationship from the perspective of the person he left behind, Charles Leclerc.

Summary
Shane Hollander is going to murder his agent.
And he means that literally. Because his agent is the reason he’s currently wearing a hot mic during Hockey Night in Canada. Against the Ottawa Centaurs. Against Ilya.
Ilya, who has no filter. Ilya, who thinks workplace professionalism is a hilarious suggestion for other people. Ilya, who has spent a decade perfecting the art of saying absolutely unhinged things to Shane on the ice, safe in the knowledge that nobody can hear him.
Ilya, who definitely doesn’t know about the microphone.
What follows is sixty minutes of Shane’s life flashing before his eyes while his secret boyfriend enthusiastically discusses their sex life, their broken furniture, and exactly what he wants to do to Shane after the game — all broadcast to millions of viewers.
The problem? Shane can’t get a word in edgewise to warn him.

Summary
Shane Hollander is the number two overall NHL draft pick and a newly minted Montreal Voyageur. He’s also laser focused on his goals: being the best by beating the best. For him, this means a continued rivalry with number one draft pick—and new Ottawa Centaur—Ilya Rozanov. But when a problem with Rozanov’s immigration paperwork threatens his future in the NHL, what does that mean for Shane’s own career? He can’t risk finding out…so they get married. Just for immigration. A fast, practical, mutually beneficial solution.
No one will ever suspect, let alone find out, that the NHL’s greatest rivals are secretly married. And there’s certainly no risk of feelings getting involved. They have a game plan.

Summary
"Scram," Charles orders suddenly, with a flick of the hand that vacates the young noble by two burly guards. There's only Max left. He has stood in front of royals, in front of monsters, in front of Gods; nothing has left him more frozen than to stand in front of his husband. Having his full attention is dizzying, even with the cloak's protection. “Who are you?”
or; after ten years, Max comes back home. It doesn't quite go as he expected.

Summary
What do you do when you’re the school president, and you get half a dozen confessions a day that you really don’t want?
Even better, what do you do when your acquaintance/friend/slight-pain-in-your-ass is treated like a complete outcast by the entire student body, and you know that he doesn’t deserve it?
That’s right: you fake-date him!
...Wait.
In which Student Body President Ari Astutia meets Notorious Delinquent Hyojin Carys, discovers he isn’t what everyone says he is, and concocts the w̶o̶r̶s̶t̶ best plan of the 21st century: pretending to date him.It’s a way to deter all of Ari’s suitors so he can have peace of mind; it’s a way to show everyone that Hyojin isn’t as big and bad as they think; it’s the perfect solution to their problems.
And between the two of them, the probability of any real feelings developing is almost zero.
Almost.
