Summary
The rink is dead when he appears inside. He feels the idle fire thrumming under his skin, licking at his veins and evaporating the sweat still drying. It’s an itch he’s used to, shooting awake from a nightmare only to leave whatever residence he’s staying in and spend an hour forcing his nerves into the manicured ice of a skating rink. Tonight he thinks he will race himself. To hell with figure skating and theatrics and artistry. Seven is an athlete, Seven is a rollerblader, and the roar of ice blades under speeds he produces is the only balm to his wounds.
When he enters the stadium, however, he discovers he is not alone.
Or: Seven aims to burn his nerves away through speed skating. Instead, he discovers a familiar someone already on the ice.
-- Duruflé's requiem, In Paradisum

"…which member?" Zoey asked, entire body whipping in Mira's direction.
"Yes."

Summary
The rivalry between Caitlyn and Vi transcended their shared court battles, becoming the stuff of media-driven legend. Off the court, they were practically strangers, their connection existing solely in the rhythm of the game: moves, countermoves, and unspoken tension.
It wasn’t personal, they told themselves—it was just basketball.
But when these two opposing forces find themselves drafted to the same team, the hardwood rivalry is set to evolve into something far more complicated.
