Summary
After a record-breaking year and a blindsiding trade, MLB pitcher and 2024 Cy Young winner Tyler Joseph is going into the 2025 season alone. Josh is two thousand miles away wearing different colors, catching for a different team, and Tyler is supposed to pretend like it doesn’t matter. He’s got a rotation to lead and 162 games to survive, even if the most important person in his life isn’t there.
Now Josh is gone, the season is starting, and the distance between them just gets wider and wider. All while navigating a sport that demands silence from players like them.
Series
- Part 3 of hit-and-run from the third base line

Summary
The year is 1968, and Tyler has just started his senior year of college. Known as the eldest Joseph son and expected to take over the lucrative family business, Tyler must play the part: get his degree, marry a God-fearing woman, and continue his family’s legacy.
Josh is a 22-year-old laborer with a bleeding heart and a busy lifestyle, bouncing between work, playing drums, and attending anti-war demonstrations and social justice protests. With a seemingly endless supply of passion, he never has a Plan B.
As their paths cross and Josh introduces Tyler to a life he didn’t even know was possible, Tyler slowly discovers that maybe he doesn’t quite fit the picture everyone has painted for him.

Summary
Tyler's on top of him, fisting his collar and pushing him to the ground. They can't go any further, anyway.
“I hate you,” Tyler barks, growly and disheveled. “You made it mean something. I'll never forgive you, Josh.”
Josh coughs, blood slipping past his lips. “I love you. I love you. You are so gorgeous like this.”
Or, the one where Clancy doesn't like being owned but he so, so badly wants to be wanted.

Summary
Tyler looks at Josh now, at the slope of his nose and the curve of his jaw and the wear lines that appear when he squeezes his eyes shut, and sees all he’s ever really wanted. Someone who truly understands him. The real him, that’s messy and emotional and compulsive. Someone who’s stayed regardless of it all, and has never made Tyler feel like a burden or an issue to solve. Someone who's managed to fill the complicated gap within him that he thought he'd just have to learn to live with.
Tyler isn’t sure if he’ll ever feel less than indebted to him. Like he needs to dedicate a raw, beating part of himself to Josh for the rest of his life, ribs wretched open, bleeding onto Josh’s jeans, just so he understands how much he means to Tyler. How completely Tyler thought he’d never have anything like this.

Summary
"You know, since you're in Electronics and I'm in Computer Sciences, we could both send people to space."
Josh doesn't know Tyler was thinking about lunar rovers while filling his application.
"Build a rocket ship."
And then we'd fly far away, Tyler thinks, his child self's words of years and years ago.
He too dreamed of walking on the Moon.
