    Summary

    When the power goes out, Alex and Henry are sitting in their living room watching the latest fantasy show to hit Netflix. Alex has his feet in Henry’s lap, and his head pressed up against the side of the couch. One of Henry’s hands is burning a hole through the thin spread of Alex’s pajama pants where it’s resting on his shin. Everything goes out like a flash of lightning, but it takes a moment for it to really register that they’re left lying in the dark.

    When it does, Alex sits up, the backs of his calves pressing into the firm weight of Henry’s thighs. He tries not to think about that, though, even as Henry’s hand tightens around his calf. The moon’s shining through the window, so it’s not like they’re blanketed in total darkness, but when Alex looks at Henry, and Henry looks at Alex, the shadows drifting over his face, it feels as if all the light has been sucked out of the world entirely.

    --

    Or, Alex and Henry have a conversation by candlelight.

    Summary

    Daniel took an interest in him back when they were teammates and, for some reason, wasn’t kicking him out of his house now. Even though it was late and they had nothing to talk about.

    Because Max had no reason to be there.

    “Shame you’re leaving in the morning,” Daniel said, breaking Max out of his thoughts.

    “Why’s that?”

    “I was going to hike up in the mountains tomorrow morning. It would be nice to smoke you on the trails just like I’m going to do on the track.”

    And, like, Daniel was just filling the air. Because he knew how to talk to people and knew how to fill the silence, but for some reason, Max found himself saying: “I could push my flight.”

    And, just, what?!

    OR: The slow burn, Max and Daniel origin story set in pre-season 2021 that nobody asked for, and how I think post-race Abu Dhabi should have gone down. Viva la Maxiel.

    Summary

    Two years ago, up-and-coming starlet Edwina Sharma had her breakout role opposite A-list bad boy and Tinseltown legacy Anthony Bridgerton in the sexy period drama ‘The Viscount.’ Rumors of an on-set romance sparked, and after a damning paparazzi photo of Anthony sneaking out of Edwina’s trailer was leaked to the press, the pair went public, becoming the It Couple of the moment for a few months as their film topped the box office and garnered awards buzz.

    Now it’s time to start production on the sequel, ‘The Viscountess,’ and there’s plenty to reckon with. The press are speculating about how the exes will fare, working together again. But only a handful of people behind the scenes -- Edwina’s sister-slash-manager, Kate, included -- know the truth of the matter: that the relationship was a stunt, and that it wasn’t Edwina in her trailer that night.
