Summary
January 2026. When Darren Cahill retires at sixty after Jannik Sinner’s fourth Slam and a clean sweep of the indoor swing, the tennis world holds its breath to see who’ll take over the twenty-four-year-old omega phenom—the first in Open Era history to reach world no. 1 (and to hold onto it for back-to-back years, no less).
The answer: Carlos Alcaraz, forty-three, retired almost-legend, multi-Slam champion, clay court specialist, and eternal golden boy of a bygone Spanish tennis generation. Once Nadal’s mirror-apparent, now everyone’s favorite DILF in post-retirement punditry, adored for his explosive joy and charisma.
On paper, it’s perfect: fire meets ice, creativity meets calculation, alpha meets omega. In practice, it’s combustible.
OR: It begins professional. Then quickly grows precarious. Then too close. By the US Open summer swing, the lines are blurred beyond recognition. By the time the first heat hits, everything burns.

Summary
“I’m putting in a transfer request to Carleton this afternoon.”
Ilya gets off his bike and wraps his sweaty arms around Shane’s sweaty shoulders, presses their sweaty heads together and holds him tight. “Nooo, Hollander, you cannot leave me. Who will put Barrett and Marly in time out when they fuck up too many shots in a row?”
“I’m sure Bood will do it. He loves bossing people around.”
Bood stands up straight and salutes his captains. “I take the title with great honor. Enjoy the Ravens, Hollander—your legacy of being a chaste Victorian debutante will be remembered fondly but not carried on.”
This snaps that last thread of Shane’s refined patience. “I can pick up girls! I have no problem getting numbers and calling them and talking!”
Hazy smirks. “Innocent until proven guilty.”
“I can pick people up,” Shane says again, moving off his bike and out of Ilya’s sweaty embrace. “And I don’t have to do it by concocting schemes or stripping on top of the LAX bros’ coffee table.”
Or, after some team chirping at Shane's expense, Ilya accidentally interrupts a few of his potential dating prospects and then keeps on doing it less than accidentally

The term, he’s told, is temporary retrograde amnesia. Ilya doesn’t need the direct translation to understand: he forgot things. Ten years of things.

Summary
“Can I come to Russia with you?”
Zhenya’s brain fritzes out for a second. “Sorry?” he asks, thinking he’s misheard.
Years of pining can do that to a person -- make you believe that the object of your affections wants something more than they really do. Sid’s gone bright pink and is staring at the floor, so maybe it’s not pining-induced insanity. Sanja will be pleased.

Summary
Sid doesn’t step any closer to him. “You waited for me.”
“Think maybe you’re hungry,” the man says. He takes another drag and blows smoke into the night sky. Sid’s transfixed by the long line of his neck when he tips his head back. “Think maybe you come eat with me.”
Sid sticks his hands in his pockets and shakes his head. “I don’t have dinner with guys that smoke.”
The man raises an eyebrow and drops the cigarette to the pavement. He puts it out with the toe of his shoe.
“Just quit.”

Summary
Erik is the first mutant president and a strong believer in Separatism. Charles is a mutant rights activist and an Integrationist. He wants to make the President see how wrong he is about mutants and humans not being able to live in peace. However, maybe it'd be easier for him to argue about mutant politics if the President wasn't so damn attractive!

Summary
Need a date for Thanksgiving? Mad at your dad? I am a 28-year-old felon with no high school degree, and a dirty old van one year younger than me covered in graffiti. I can play anywhere between the ages of 25 and 35 depending on if I shave. I’m a line cook and work late nights at a bar. If you’d like to have me as your strictly platonic date for Thanksgiving, but have me pretend to be in a very long or serious relationship with you, to torment your family, I’m game.
