That was the way stories like these were destined to end. There were no other versions of this story.
Until now.

Summary
James Fairfax coached Kitty Higham, the most successful British swimmer ever, to 7 Olympic medals. Her retirement after Paris 2024 leaves him with no goals, an empty calendar, and aching knees.
Anthony Havers had a bright future ahead of him in the British Army until an explosion in Afghanistan changed everything. After years of surgeries and retraining as a counsellor, he’s built a life helping others. But he can’t ignore the pull of the water, or the sense that time is running out to chase a childhood dream.
When Anthony seeks out James as a coach, both men find more than they expected. For James, despite having never worked with a para-athlete, it's an opportunity he's powerless to resist. For Anthony, it could be a chance to fulfil more than one dream.
Together they’ll discover that medals aren’t the only thing at stake. Sometimes the biggest challenge is daring to believe in a future—one they could share.

Summary
Sirius Black doesn’t work a regular job. He stays home, smokes too much, listens to music far too loud, and plays the bratty housewitch in nothing but Remus’s clothes and his own bad decisions. But the flat is clean, the bills are paid, and dinner is usually hot. Especially when Sirius wears nothing but an apron and waits for Remus to come home and wreck him.
Remus may seem soft, but the wolf in him never really rests, and Sirius wouldn’t want it any other way. Between domestic rituals, filthy countertops, praise, and possession, this is a love story told in tea, cock, and a very well-washed apron.
There’s no big drama. No wars. Just love, filth, and a body full of bite marks, the smell of half-burned toast, and a wolf who always comes home to find his housewitch ready to be devoured.
