Summary
"The clouds are beautiful brushtrokes of orange and gold, and they look otherworldy from down there, too perfect to be realistic, too striking to be anything but art: the color seeps right through his defenses, straight into him, reflects in the misty veil of his eyes, and with a low, breathy sigh, he feels another piece of him die a little.
Welcome, October. Jannik never got to see your sunrise."
or,
On the morning of September 8th, 2025, Jannik Sinner was found lifeless in his hotel room in New York.
Carlos doesn't know how he is supposed to move on.

Summary
"Something happened while he was out, exiled. While he watched from the sidelines as everybody kept improving and playing and giving interviews. While journalists and men of culture speculated about drugs he never used. Something in him stopped, in those interminable weeks, something in him broke and he can’t put it back together, regardless of how much he tries, how much he has tried for the last few months."
or,
Things get worse, and then they slowly get better.

Summary
Jannik’s eyes fixate on the golden cross pendant on Carlos’s chest.
He groans, hips stuttering. “Dio, sei—”
What? What am I?
“Sei un demone. Sei— tentazione. Mi rovini…”
“¿Sí? Tú también—”, he exhales between Jannik’s lips. “Tú también me arruinas.”
Jannik tugs on the chain around his neck to bring him closer and kisses his lips hard. Carlos groans into his mouth, feeling the metal dig into his nape.

Summary
Fresh off another career-defining win, Carlos Alcaraz expects the Winter Olympic Games to be little more than a whirlwind of sponsors, ceremonies, and polite small talk. Tennis is his world, ice and altitude very much not.
Then he meets Jannik Sinner. Italian alpine skiing phenomenon with effortless composure and a smile that lingers longer than it should, Jannik is everything Carlos didn’t expect to find among snowstorms and ski lifts.

Summary
Carlos feels his face getting hot, and it has nothing to do with alcohol.
It’s practically a mumble when he says, “Hello, Jannik.”
“How cliche is it to say I saw you earlier and worked up the courage to talk to you?”
