Summary
Exy’s popularity is dwindling, and Ichirou has a bold plan to save it: an Exy-themed dating show featuring a star-studded cast. The lineup includes Kevin Day, the son and face of Exy; Allison Reynolds, the influential Exy socialite; rising star Matt Boyd; and several others, many hailing from the infamous Foxes Court.
For Neil, participation in this spectacle is the last thing he wants, but it’s not like he has a choice.

Summary
There’s very little Andrew likes less than being tricked, but not knowing things does make the cut. He stands, throws his messenger bag over his shoulder, grabs his coffee, and stomps over to slide into the chair across from the guy. He looks up at Andrew with a flash of calculated flight or fight in his eyes, but he quickly smooths this over and affixes a look of polite interest on his face. “Can I help you?”
“Are you on Grindr?” Andrew asks. Bluntly.
“Uh,” the guy says, looking more confused. “I don’t know. What is it?”
“It’s a hookup app gay men use.”
“Oh,” he says, frowning. “No, I’m definitely not on that.”
“Because you don’t do gay men?”
The guy shrugs. “Because I don’t do hookups.”

Summary
Instantly, Wymack knows that this is going to set off a bomb in their home. Elodie is a good kid, quiet and skittish as hell, but smart and polite and pretty receptive to the general structure of their house. This kid has defiance written all over his file, and he’s fifteen, which means that he can take however much belligerence he’s guessing and fucking multiply it by ten.
But it’s also clear that Jean needs somewhere safe. And that is something he and Abby can easily provide.
(title from to build a home by the cinematic orchestra)

Summary
The frustrating part about it is that he almost makes it to the end. They’re inside of the two minute warning, and the remaining time is a formality at this point. Utah has no hope of closing a fifteen point deficit, and Jean is actually shocked that he hasn’t been pulled yet to give the sophomores some more experience on the court.
All Jean knows is that one second he is passing the ball halfway across the court to Min, and the next he is staring at the bright lights of the Sunshine Court, and the blurry orbs dance slowly in front of his eyes, shining so brightly that it burns. Jean thinks he knows what this is already, and he rolls over onto his knees to lessen the brightness, and when he feels nausea roll in his stomach and a firework of pain explode in his forehead, it’s confirmed.
He has hit his head, and there is no way that he isn’t concussed.
(alternatively titled: jean tries to hide a concussion and it definitely goes well)

Summary
“I think I’ve got the timeline now,” James says. “The previously unexplained hospital stay happened several days after Kevin approached us about the transfer. My guess is it took a bit of time out of the… environment… of the Nest for his body to really start feeling the high sugars. And with the state of his injuries, I can’t imagine discerning one pain from another was possible.”
“It’s insane. Everything about it makes perfect sense and none at all. I keep trying to find the words but the only thing coming to my mind is just ‘what the fuck’ on repeat?”
“The more I find out about Edgar Allen, the angrier I get,” Rhemann confesses. “I’m just relieved that Neil dragged him here when he did.”
“Jean’s not,” Jeremy says immediately. “He has creatively threatened his death multiple times.”
“No, I don’t suspect he is,” James says sagely. “But it doesn’t matter, because he’s here to be angry about it.”
