Summary
Riley Scott is a woman whose voice could move mountains, but her confidence has always faltered in the face of her talent. When her best friend Emily secretly enters her into the prestigious X Factor competition, Riley's life takes an unexpected turn.
As Riley nervously steps onto the stage, she captures the attention of not only the audience but also one of the returning judges, the renowned Gary Barlow. Gary, captivated by Riley's raw talent and vulnerability, sees beyond her insecurities to the star she could become.
As the competition heats up, Riley finds herself navigating not just the pressures of performing but also the complexities of a deepening connection with Gary. However, the X Factor rules strictly forbid any romantic involvement between contestants and judges. Amidst the glitz and glamour, secrets, and challenges, Riley embarks on a journey of self-discovery, uncovering her strength and worth along the way.
"The Spotlight" is a tale of music, passion, and self-discovery, where Riley Scott learns that sometimes finding your voice means embracing the courage to love against all odds.

Summary
Gary jumps when he feels Howard's hands on his clothing. After a second's hesitation, he shakes his head, pushes Howard away. "No, no, wait," he says, his voice panicked, and Howard frowns in confusion. What's wrong? "Wait, Dougie, I can't... I can't." He sighs in defeat. "I'm sorry."
Howard doesn't understand. Why would he? “Gaz?” he asks, as Gary thoroughly avoids his eye, clearly upset and embarrassed. This isn't like him. “Did I do something wrong?” he asks, just to be sure, and Gary's head finally snaps back up.
“What? No, of course not, you're perfect, you're always perfect, I–” Gary stops, and bites his lip, cringing at his own words. Howard is even more confused. He's glad for the compliment, but he'd hardly describe himself as perfect. “Look at you,” Gary mumbles, staring into his lap again. “Still a bloody Greek god. You couldn't have put on a single fucking ounce in ten years, could you?”
Oh.

Summary
"He didn't want to be in control; he wanted Robbie to take his control. He didn't want to be the one in charge; he wanted Robbie to command him. He didn't want to be the responsible one; he needed someone to look after him, take care of him."
Gary likes Robbie. He also likes it rough. He can't let anyone find either of these things out, though, because he's meant to be the sensible one.

Summary
As he headed to the bar, Robbie watched the guests – small town people, dressed up nicely, having a night out, some older couples, too. The place was far from being full but it wasn’t a bad night, either. Robbie sat down on a stool, ordered the first non-alcoholic thing he could think of, and finally turned his attention towards the pianist.
Gary didn’t change much since he had last seen him – his style certainly didn’t. He was singing along to some old romantic melody, something that was nice to listen to on a calm Saturday night while having a dinner, but nothing extraordinary. Still, he was doing it with such concentration and passion, Robbie couldn’t help but smile faintly. He took a sip of his drink and made a face – some ginger ale wasn’t going to give him the courage he needed.

Summary
It's 1994, and the sun is setting on a golden era. In spite of the encroaching darkness, Robbie wants many things - success, the band's approval, Gary - but it's not like life has been making it easy for him.
Drugs are as good a method as any to help manage his anxiety; that's what they're for, right?

Summary
November 2006, and their comeback single has smashed every expectation with its resounding success. While in the midst of celebrating, Jason finds himself reminiscing on the strange roads that led him back to this point. More than anything, it's a bit funny to think that Rob of all people was the one who convinced him to keep at it.
Howard, for his part, doesn't find it quite so amusing - and Jason is desperate to find out why.

Summary
“Bad day?” Rob insisted, grabbing his glass with one hand and lifting it to his lips. Apparently whiskey on the rocks was the blond’s poison of choice. Cheap whiskey, judging by the price and the taste.
The cheap drink should’ve been a warning, an omen. The guy’s shoulders lifted a bit and then fell slowly, giving the impression he was sighing, inaudibly. “Bad couple of years, more like…” was his reply, in a low voice, like he was talking more to himself than Rob. Oh. That explained the ninety minutes boozing up, but it was a clear sign that there was more, it was just a hint of a story. And that was Rob’s downfall, wasn’t it? Because hell would freeze over the day he just walked away from a statement like that one.- Language:

Liam only knew how to torment, tease, take the piss, that much everyone knew. Right? But when he saw Robbie for the first time in two years and none of that really came over him, not instinctively anyway, he was horrified and more than anything — furious.

Summary
Damon hasn’t seen Graham since they had that fallen out over Damon (still) using smack. Whatever. He doesn’t care.
He doesn’t know how to care.
Especially when Liam fucking Gallagher is glaring at him with a look so deadly one would have thought Damon had ran his dog over with a tractor.

Summary
“That’s one thing, we ‘ave in common, innit?” Liam slurs, rubbing the tip of his nose with his thumb, not even looking at him.
Robbie is confused by the statement, “Whacha mean?”
“Never good enough for stuck up twats like ‘em.”
He finally glances over to what Liam was glaring at.
Damon Albarn, probably the most prettiest male frontman ever, and Gary Barlow, probably the prettiest male ever.

Summary
Having Gary stay at Rob's place in LA while they filmed the video for Shame had seemed like the obvious choice, provided Rob didn't think for too long on the implications. They were just two good mates having a laugh about their reconciliation, after all.
Of course, proximity had an uncanny way of dredging even the deepest memories back to the surface.
