Summary
Damn it all if his name wasn’t Racetrack for a reason. Sure, he was gifted the name when he got scooped up, recruited and welcomed into the Family after hanging around the tracks in Sheepshead when he was a boy. But he earned his name by being good. No, better than good—the best. In a race to the finish of every scenario, every fight, every assignment, he always won. Every. Fucking. Time.
Tonight was not about to be an exception.
///
An evening in the lives of the King of Brooklyn and his number one.

Summary
Racetrack was a textbook overthinker— and he’d tell you that himself. Most times, his logic and analysis could get in the way of even the most basic human interactions. But on nights like tonight, when he’d had a few too many drinks and a floaty warmth of disassociation hugged around every edge of his brain, he would relax into the new breathing room in his skull. The blurry space expanding behind his eyelids was a comfort. The world would fall away brick by brick, and what was left was a new understanding of all things, fractured into the simplest of details.
OR
Race is drunk at a college house party, and he has a lot of detailed thoughts about it.
(Based loosely on the song "Details" by McCafferty)

Summary
Shoveling a handful of chips into his mouth, Race sighed. Another Friday at home, getting lost in whatever bullshit reality show was on TV. The blond picked up his phone from his chest to see that he still didn’t have any notifications. He checked his ringer, which was still switched on, and he checked his Do Not Disturb settings, which were still turned off. He huffed and set his phone back down.
Needless to say, Race was bored.

Race is bored on a Friday night, and Spot comes to save him :)

Summary
Halloween was always an exhilarating event for Racetrack Higgins. He went all-in for it, getting done up in a full ensemble with accessories and make up every year. In the past, he’d gone for something scary or topical, but this year was different. He had grown into himself more, was more physically confident than he’d been in previous years, plus he had a hot boyfriend to tease relentlessly.
This is to say, it was the sluttiest day of the year for boys like Race, and he spared no effort or expense.
OR
Spot doesn't get the appeal of Halloween until Race makes him.

“M’lord?” Sir Thomas straightened his spine, his shoulders already pulled back tight as a bowstring.
Prince Leo's voice was teasing, his lip curled in a smirk. “Would it kill ya to relax every once in a while?”

Summary
The moon was a sliver of gray in the indigo sky when Spot woke up. Half-asleep and comfortable, he shifted his legs and scrunched his pillow under his head to fluff it as he nestled back into peaceful sleepiness. A subtle sound of something made his brow furrow. Groggily, he lifted his head to search for the sound. He scanned the beds of sleeping children, squinting with only one eye open as he counted heads. The noise— a metronome of tap tap tap— turned his sight forward and across from his bunk to the window, where a lively Racetrack stood behind the glass.
OR
Racer wakes Spot for a late night chat that leaves them both with more to say.

Boys of Summer by Bubblemintbabe

Summary
It was 1980, the summer after Race turned eleven, and it was the first summer his parents let him visit his Nana’s without their supervision. Without them, Race felt brand new: older, wiser, cooler. He was able to be independent, could make his own decisions and plans. He got to spend the summer, each summer, if this went well, with his favorite Nana in her quiet little cottage town, running around however he pleased, and he could hardly contain his excitement.
Race’s running thoughts were cut through by a red bicycle riding by. The rider, a brunette boy probably about his age, had a striped red tank top and tan skin. He waved to Race as he rolled down the street, and the blond returned the wave with an easy grin.
Here for less than an hour and Race’d already found a new friend. Almost, anyway. He was pretty proud of that.
OR
A 1980s coming-of-age tale about Racetrack Higgins and Spot Conlon, strangers turned best friends turned…something else entirely.
