    Summary

    “That’s your problem. You think tennis is about self-expression and…doing your thing. That’s why you still have that serve.”

    “It works.”

    “Yeah, but you’re not a tennis player. You have no idea what tennis is.”

    There’s a gleam in Light’s eyes that Misa hasn’t seen before. She feels—like he’s playing tennis again, and she could watch him forever, poised at the edge of her seat.

    “What is it?” L asks, after a moment of silence.

    “It’s a relationship.”

    ---

    L Lawliet and Misa Amane have been best friends their entire lives--until they meet up-and-coming tennis star Light Yagami and both fall for him. Thirteen years later, Light and Misa are married, and L is out in the cold.
    That is, until all three of their worlds collide once more at a challenger in New Rochelle, New York.

    Summary

    Reaching up, Adam took off his sunglasses so he could fully meet his husband’s gaze. Gansey didn’t grip his racket so hard his knuckles turned white. His mouth wasn’t turned down in disdain, and his hazel eyes weren’t narrowed in anger. They did, however, have a darkness to them they shouldn’t have in the six o’clock sunlight of late summer. A darkness and a glint, one that told Adam the way Ronan had stared at him had struck a match inside Gansey.

    And that was a fire Gansey could work with. A fire Gansey could use.

    A fire that hadn’t burned inside him for a very, very long time.

    Because in the match for Adam Parrish’s affection, for his love, Richard Campbell Gansey III had won after so many hard-fought, jealousy-laden sets, and Adam didn’t regret his choices. His sacrifices. He’d worked hard so they could have the life they wanted, a life Adam never could have had with Ronan. In that match for Adam, Ronan Lynch had come out ahead early, won the first few games, but in the end, he’d squandered his lead, and Adam had always wanted more than someone without ambition. Someone who never strove to be better, to be more.

    Summary

    "He had never imagined his life without Junsu and he wondered if it was the same for him. Probably not, because Junsu was a damn social butterfly who probably couldn't imagine life without any of his friends or his twin brother. But did he think about Changmin just a little bit more than the rest?"

    For Changmin, there could never be a life without Junsu by his side, they are a combo sold as a package deal. But life never goes the way you want it to, and deep down, he's tired of making his life about tennis.

    There is nothing to keep him anchored in that life.

    Summary

    Max looks over at the table again, hearing Mike’s loud crunch into the churro as she mindlessly forgets about the sugary bread masterpiece and places it flat on the bar counter, leaning on the counter. “So you’re really committing to this thing?”

    With a piece of churro stuffed into his mouth, Mike looks at Max before looking out the window. “To El?” He asks, knowing damn well she could mean either his relationship with El or his tennis career against her.

    Max nods. “Mhm… yeah, to El.”

     

    or, the Challengers churro scene but with Max and Mike fighting for El's love-- but El doesn't know that... yet.

    Summary

    “Is this all you do when you get girls in your room? Smoke and drink?”

    Seungkwan watches Vernon slowly take another hit, then pass the blunt to Dino. “We do other things, too. No rush, though.”

    “And when you get guys to your room?” Dino asks before taking a hit.

    Vernon watches him, taking his time before shrugging a shoulder. “We do the same.”

    (challengers and it's the same but it's doremiz so it's not)

    Summary

    It was always a game of tennis with the three of them. But there could never be only three players in a game. Someone had to go, or someone had to be added, or the umpire would blow his whistle and send all of them off the court, playing their own separate games. Maybe that’s how it should’ve been.

    Lucy, Schroeder and Frieda play tennis. Inspired by Challengers (2024).
