    Summary

    It’s not going viral because Jane’s true identity was exposed—or even because Ilya was blatantly sexting in public. That part’s as expected as Shane doing yoga or any human being on earth breathing.

    No, the texts are going viral because no one can believe how bad this “Jane” is at sexting.

    The women of the world are outraged. The men of the world are baffled. No one can understand why Ilya Rozanov, whose abs have their own fan club, is wasting his time on ‘a piece of cardboard that wished to be turned into a real girl’ (this particular joke has 300k likes and counting).

    Or: After a social media trend mocks Shane's sexting skills, he tries to improve them. It goes about as poorly as you'd expect.

    Summary

    Ilya hums, playing the card he's been considering for this entire conversation. “We could make more interesting, yes? A bet.”

    “A bet,” Shane repeats, eyes flashing. “Like what?”

    The reporter cuts in. “What about wearing the other player’s jersey?”

    They both turn to her, and Shane says, “Like, the loser wears the winner’s jersey?”

    “Maybe at the next game in a couple of months?”

    “Is a good idea,” Ilya muses, nudging Shane’s elbow. “You will look better in my jersey than in Montreal jersey.”

    Shane makes a low noise, his eyes holding a bit of a spark when he looks back to Ilya. It’s what Ilya was hoping for—the tiniest crack in the mask. He can see a hint of exasperated affection around the corners of Shane’s eyes, a little bit of fire burning just beneath the surface. It sends a thrill down Ilya’s spine, and he wonders if Shane will be snarky when Ilya gets him naked tonight.

    “That’s not happening,” Shane replies, shaking his head. “Because you’re not winning.”

    Ilya should have known better.

    Summary

    Just a couple interns who get stuck reading Alex and Henry’s emails for Richards.

    I got sucked into the book and movie recently and just couldn’t stop thinking about the poor interns who got stuck reading the emails and got real parasocial with our kings.

    Summary

    Alex is so tired.

    He reaches to the right for a rapidly emptying bottle, fishes three Extra Strength Tylenol PM out, and swallows them dry. His headache cap is in the freezer, but if he gets up it’ll make the pounding in his head worse. He sighs once more, rubs the back of his neck at the base of his skull for a moment in an attempt to relieve at least a speck of tension, and goes back to his work, intent on pushing through the growing migraine that threatens to melt his brain. There’s no point in trying to wait it out anyway.

    It’s not like it’ll be any different tomorrow.
