    Summary

    The first time Tommy dies, he’s seventeen, and they tell him he’s a hero when the Angel’s bladed feather sinks into his chest.

    If Tommy could go back in time and tell himself one thing as blood ran rivers down his chest, it wouldn’t be comforting.

    “Get used to it,” he’d say, as cold as the blade that had done this to him. “This is all you are now.”

    ~
    as the heroes' phoenix, tommy only has one job: to die, and die, and die for them. but death hurts, and the more he dies, the less of him comes back.

    and the only people to notice? the very same villains Tommy is tasked to hunt down.

    Summary

    Wilbur takes his last trembling breath.

    Tommy pulls away from Wilbur's side, bile rising in his throat. He stands on shaking legs, finds his stray knife on the ground and picks it up with blood-coated hands.

    He impales himself with the knife in one quick, practiced stab.

    His last thought is this: he is not losing his best friend like this- he is not losing his best friend at all.

    or, Wilbur dies on a Tuesday afternoon. Tommy wakes up on a Tuesday morning. So it goes.

    Summary

    In the grand scheme of things and in the chessboard of their power, he was the pawn. Limited in movement, yes– but a pawn that, with strategic advancement, could transform into a queen. A player who sees the entire board and moves with unfettered freedom.

    For now, he was a pawn. But he damn well wasn't going to let himself be weak while under the Phobos's thumb.

    Tommy promised himself that.

    Summary

    Leta Sangha is a McLaren racing engineer who spends most of her year traveling with the circus that is the Formula 1 paddock and the rest of her time caring for her ailing grandfather, a motorsport superfan who practically raised her. Like any good engineer, she compartmentalizes problems so she can solve them one by one. To add another human into the equation of her life—an unpredictable, emotional human—feels like too much, even on her best days.

    But when McLaren signs a new driver and her grandfather's health begins to decline, Leta's carefully organized life seems to explode. And it's possible that the only person who can help her put it back together is a quick-witted Australian whose intense gaze she just can't seem to shake.

    Summary

    His foster brother’s voice grew louder. “If it was a mistake just say it! The school saw you next to the alarms moments before they were triggered, there’s no way it wasn’t you!” Someone was honking their horn ahead. The lights were growing bigger. Tommy blinked, sitting up straighter. The car ahead of them was really close. “Just stop fucking lying—”

     

    “Wilbur!” Tommy screamed and lunged for the wheel. But it was too late.

     

    OR

    A car crash ends with Tommy and Wilbur trapped off the side of the road, injured and fighting for their lives. Wilbur wants them to survive. Tommy can't lose another family.
