    Summary

    There’s a moment where Taki leans in, leans down to Harua’s mouth and Harua catches herself before their lips can touch. “No kissing, okay?” She ignores the way Taki's face falls, like her favorite pillow had been stolen. “We’re just helping each other, right?” She cradles Taki’s cheeks until she nods. “Kissing is for feelings and we don't need to complicate things.”

    Because it means something to Harua. Because it implies feelings and promises that Harua doesn't want to commit herself to. She's kissed too many people who didn't want what she wanted, where what she was trying to say got tied around her tongue. Boys who thought she owed them something. Girls who laughed it away the next day. She doesn’t want that with Taki, doesn’t want to mess them up in a way that can’t be fixed.

    Summary

    Ilya looks over from the sofa as Jackie heads into the living room, perking up in interest. “You are calling Pike? Was good play today. You remembered how to score! Well done.”

    Hayden groans. "Rozanov? Dude, what are you doing in my fucking house?

    "It is girls' night," Ilya informs him primly. "I am one of girls."

    Or: Game day at the Pike house.

    Ilya stared at the photo of a tiny, red faced baby. He wasn’t sure why Shane was sending him a photo of a random newborn.

    Lily
    Cute! Whose baby is that?

    Jane
    She’s ours

    Lily
    What?

    Jane
    I had a baby an hour ago

    ***

    Before Ilya and Shane meet at the cottage, Shane very very unexpectedly has a baby. Chaos (and love) ensues.

    Summary

    It was especially difficult to get out of bed today. The cold, and the memories. I guess I can be sentimental, too, and say that I miss the excuse of your dead weight on top of me when I wanted to sleep in, when the sun was already high in its arc in the sky, when my sister would bang on my locked door to tell us that breakfast was ready. That was the year our dads were away and you stayed over almost every night. A lot of things changed that year. To borrow your phrasing: surely you remember that too.

    It's the late 1950s. Euijoo and Yixiang find each other in stolen moments, and then in letters.

    Summary

    Euijoo looks at himself in the practice room mirror again, at the lines of his body in his baggy practice clothes, and nods at his reflection. It’s a good idea, he’s sure it is. Surely this will work?
