    Summary

    It starts with a snowball fight, with Will Solace glowing beneath winter lamplight and his laughter catching in the cold air like a hymn. Nico doesn’t know his name then. He only knows that something shifts inside him when he sees him, a dangerous little shift, the kind that leads to feelings, which are frankly a design flaw. He should’ve gone back inside.

    Over four seasons, fascination turns to yearning, and yearning becomes inconvenient. Borderline humiliating. Unbearable, if we’re being dramatic about it, which Nico usually is.

    He watches from afar: in libraries, lecture halls, and between the shelves of the Greek myth-inspired bookstore where Will works. His friends begin to meddle, armed with suspicion and absolutely no boundaries, nudging him closer to the boy with sunlit hair and steady hands as if romance is a group project. Nico resists, obviously. He’s always been good at hiding. But hope, unfortunately, is much harder to kill in spring.

    A story of longing, silence and slow-burning desire, of one emotionally repressed classics student learning, painfully and against his will, that his heart is still very much alive and extremely annoying about it.

    Summary

    Will Solace has enough problems. Between juggling two jobs, surviving pre-med classes, and making sure his roommates don’t burn down their Harlem apartment, the last thing he needs is a hopeless crush on campus legend Nico di Angelo.

    But try telling that to his heart.

    Nico and his rich, mysterious, ridiculously good-looking best friends (affectionately dubbed “Nico and the Seven” by students who can only dream of being that cryptic) are the stuff of gossip and wild rumours. Mafia ties? Maybe. Vampire coven? Sure. Time travelers from an alternate dimension? Definitely plausible.

    Will’s sure he’s never stood a chance… until a spilled drink, a cigarette on a balcony, and one very unexpected dinner invitation send him spiralling into Nico’s orbit. Now he’s stuck somewhere between flirting and a full-blown existential crisis.

    Because falling for Nico di Angelo was not part of Will’s academic plan; and he’s about to learn that extra credit doesn’t cover emotional disasters.

    Summary

    "I recognise you."

    When Natasha looked up at him, her carefully painted expression cracked. Ever so slightly, barely a muscle twitch. Not enough for anyone to notice, except him.

    Natasha and James are reunited.

    Summary

    Oh sure, reunion results in happiness, kittens, and rainbows, because that's definitely how life goes when you've just spent 70 years as a tool of villainy. I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
