Summary
Art is a giver, by nature, and how can he not be when he's gotten lucky enough in life to have both Tashi and Patrick in his bed? Tonight, though, is a little different- it's Art's turn to receive, to be spoiled, to be Patrick and Tashi's plaything for the night.

Summary
In the daytime he tries not to think about it, but when he’s alone and honest, he can’t deny how much he wants Art—wants him back, wants him like before they graduated from Rebellato. Fuck. He’d live in a dorm room forever if he had to, wouldn’t even touch him if he didn’t want it.
Or—almost ten years, from Patrick's point of view.

Summary
Set in the liminal space between Art graduating college and his tennis career beginning, Art and Patrick reconnect at the 2010 Nielson Pro Tennis Championship (guys this was a real event I Googled it). And you’ll just have to see what happens from there ;) …
p.s. This is set in June of 2010, mid-canon (lol), BEFORE Tashi and Art get together at the Cincinnati Open in the movie.

Summary
By the time Tashi told Art she was leaving Stanford to rehab her injury and start training for the pro tour, he’d already heard it twice, from other people.

Summary
The 2019 Phil's Tire Town Challenger is over and Patrick can't tell up from down.
He won and made up with Art, finally. Tashi didn't bury him alive for not throwing the match and now, Ilya was back? Funny how life could change so suddenly but are these changes as welcome as they appear, only time would tell.

Summary
“It was Lily’s idea,” Tashi says to Patrick’s delighted expression and Art’s unchanged frown. “It’s just a decoration.”
“Yeah, but you have to kiss me if I go under it or it’s bad luck,” Lily reminds her. She turns to reassure Patrick, “Just on the cheek or something. No spreading gross germs.”
“Those are going at Lily’s height,” Art says, coming closer to inspect the rest of their haul. “Right?”
“No,” Lily whines. “It’s for everybody. It’s tradition.”
“What do you mean, it’s tradition?” Patrick says. “You’re five. You don’t have traditions.”
“I actually think we should let Patrick raise her Jewish,” Art says.
December 2019: Art's retired. Tashi's coaching Patrick. Lily's got questions about Santa. What could possibly go wrong?
In other words, the Challengers Christmas (and New Year’s Eve) special.

Summary
Patrick Zweig has fallen in love with his best friend in the whole wide world: Art Donaldson. The Summer break is just about to begin, and so Patrick has to return to Zweig's mannor, a simple house, not really a home. The Mark Rebellato Tennis Academy has been his true home since he was 12. Now, as he thinks in ways he can come clean and confess his feelings, David —another student at the tennis academy, handsome, cocky and proud— threatens to stole Art from Patrick.

Summary
Art isn’t sure who wins, at least not at first. It was not that he couldn’t make out the announcer’s outcries or the booming in the stands—he was all too accustomed to this sound—nor was he particularly baffled when he recognized Tashi’s familiar, yet rare, roar from the sideline. But rather, as the situation unfolded, Art barreling over the net, overextending his damn shoulder to strike the ball, he couldn’t bring himself to think of tennis at all.
or,
Art's POV after the New Rochelle match; a re-edited and reposted Artrick one-shot.

Summary
Life’s kind of always sucked for Patrick Zweig.
He tells himself otherwise.
He convinces himself that he’s fine, that he’s still young enough, strong enough, with time to ‘turn it all around.’
He keeps a script on repeat in his head like a prayer: I’ll get back to tennis, I’ll get serious again, I’ll fix it.
But it’s been years now, and if he was really going to fix it, wouldn’t he have already?
He’s a popular guy.
Well…
He’s always been liked.

Summary
Art was always considered a lapdog.
Becoming pliant in the hands of whoever gave him a second look and called him ‘Mine.’
Patrick came with the attitude, the intensity Art found himself entranced with his forwardness and dominance. Tashi’s dominance was never as loud or intense as Patrick's; it came with quiet looks, blunt orders, and a flick of a hand that would have Art at her beck and call.
Maybe that's why they broke up, Patrick and Tashi, they both needed something the other couldn't give.
Maybe they needed a dog they could both own and show off, a lapdog they could have crawling back to them every time they needed something.
Maybe they needed Art.
or
Everything that happens after, and no, they don't end up back at the hotel. Not straight away anyway.

Summary
There was a time when all of their lives hadn't been so horribly interconnected. There was a time when it all was really just about tennis. There was a time when it was simple.
But maybe that wasn't true. Maybe it had always been that difficult and complicated. Almost 20 years' worth of coming in and out of each other's lives when they knew they shouldn't have is cause for the worst mistakes of their lives (or maybe the best ones). Lena, Tashi, Art, and Patrick were the only ones who could say for sure.
