    Summary

    Black swan syndrome: A highly unlikely, unpredictable event or cluster of events with a severe and lasting impact.


    Ballet AU | International ballet legends Riko Moriyama and Kevin Day return to their alma mater for the first time in years, after their former ballet master calls in a favour. They are announced to star in a Swan Lake production, a show whose success will decide the future of Tetsuji Moriyama’s ballet troupe. Ichirou Moriyama’s wild card, Neil Josten, joins the team as the new producer of the show. Even before the first rehearsal starts, the cast needs to be reshuffled due to an emergency, which prompts Neil to make his first off-the-wall decision as a producer. He invites a new, unexpected member to join the already chaotic mix, to Kevin Day’s dismay.
    With so many strong personalities on board, nothing quite goes according to plan, and black swan events keep cropping up—one after the other.

    Summary

    Kevin Day is sixteen with eyes too human, a gift no one should ever have, and blood Andrew thinks would spill out black over the snow outside. He is standing in the school hallway with a dead boy at his feet, and he is going to die by Andrew Minyard’s hands.

    He must. He will.

    Kevin Day, singer of bodies. Harbringer of death.

    Summary

    Left hand. Right hand. Pass and twist and score. Exy is a language of its own, for all it is spoken of to him in different dialects. French, English, Japanese, Irish.

    The only other language Kevin knows fluently is pain.

    Summary

    “And you cared about nothing,” Neil fills in the blanks by himself, forging the unbreakable image of Kevin and Andrew before Neil even knew them. “You wanted to be more like him.”

    When Andrew doesn’t answer, Neil continues, “His left hand. He always let you take care of it, too. He trusted you like that. Kevin— Kevin never doubted your ability to be gentle.”

    “He was naive,” Andrew grinds his teeth, “and stupid.”

    Neil’s response is so automatic he couldn’t have taken it back if he wanted to. “And you loved him for it.”

    Alternatively: Kevin's graduation confirms what they already knew — it's always easier to realize you love something after you lose it.
