Summary
In another universe, eighteen-year old Andy washed up in London without money, friends, or options. One thing led to another and four years later he's scraping along in his career. Some days, he can almost convince himself that being a prostitute isn't all that bad.
Today was not one of those days. At least, not until he bumped into a good-looking Serbian guy on the Tube.
(Or, the one where Andy ended up a prostitute instead of a tennis player through a series of accidents and bad decisions, and Novak's mostly trying not to screw up his life.)

Summary
He’s rotting from the inside out.
That’s what it feels like. He prays for the clean decay of autumn leaves, beautiful and purposeful. He receives the rot of fruit left too long in the sun, of meat gone bad, of something organic turning wrong.
The fear that he’s a bad boyfriend by being this broken thing, collection of malfunctioning systems held together by athletic tape and stubbornness and the increasingly disgustingly desperate need to keep performing, keep winning.
He’s breaking well into his twenties and ranked number two in the world and his body is giving up on him.
Or maybe he’s giving up on his body.

Summary
Not even in a parallel world where Jannik might have grown up as a five-foot-seven Minnesota beauty-pageant princess with sequined sash and a tiara would he ever spend £28,000 on a weekend of strategic shopping and sixty bottles of pink champagne.
They once blamed the England WAGs for an entire World Cup meltdown; Jannik refused to be drafted into that level of delusion. No chance.

Summary
It’s strange, Carlos thinks, resetting for the next serve. He’s the fast one — horizontal acceleration that leaves the Internet sputtering, the one who tears across the court like he’s got rockets attached to his feet, who loves the thrill and the sprint and the speed of it all. But clay courts are slow. His drop shots are slow.
And Jannik, who moves through the world like he holds all the time in it — Jannik’s game is rapid; playing him is like playing twice as fast. Those baseline shots are violence disguised as pleasantries.
Carlos is so stupidly giddy about his little mental dichotomies that he fails to return the first serve. 15-love.

Summary
In the quiet underbelly of Arthur Ashe, when the noise of the semifinal has finally faded, one unexpected knock breaks the calm. Novak isn’t prepared for it—least of all for the person standing on the other side. He has spent years building distance, shaping it into something unbreakable, something that keeps the world from asking more of him than he’s willing to give.
Carlos has never cared for boundaries, spoken or unspoken. He crosses this one without hesitation, still carrying the electricity of the match in his breath, driven by something he can’t fully name. And what follows isn’t a confession, or a challenge, or anything simple. It’s quieter, more uncertain—an opening neither meant to create.
Behind a closed door meant only for cooling down and moving on, two men accustomed to pressure and poise find themselves suspended in a moment that refuses to pass. A moment that shifts something fragile and unseen between them.
In the space between rivalry and something unspoken, even the strongest guard can slip—and the smallest knock can be the one that breaks through.

Summary
Years later, Jannik often thought back to the day when he first met Carlos Alcaraz, because perhaps the most interesting thing about it all was that their first meeting wasn't so earth-shattering. Jannik didn't feel like the ground had been pulled out from under his feet, and there weren't even butterflies in his belly. He simply turned around and found the young boy in the corner of the burning red clay court, who he had no idea at the time would change his whole life.
He was a lanky, short boy, with dark brown curls falling from his forehead, clutching in his hand a racket that might have been too heavy for him at the time. He flicked his eyes back and forth, as if he didn't believe where he was at first. For a moment, their eyes met. Carlos smiled broadly and waved boldly at him, as if they were ancient friends, not two strangers whose only thing in common was a racket in their hands. Jannik may or may not have waved at him, but he remembered that he immediately looked down at his shoes, red with clay and did not dare to look at the boy again.

Summary
Revised 2nd Edition, published for the first time with extended and restored material including chapters missing from the original. All future errors and omissions are either fictitious or purely coincidental.
Utilizing a close reading approach, this work endeavors to reconstruct the timeline of events leading to the mysterious disappearance of Sir John Franklin and his crew in the Arctic in the mid-19th century. Drawing insights from the recovered¹ ship logs of HMS Erebus and Terror, particular emphasis will be placed on the expedition's challenges—environmental, navigational, psychological, and preternatural.

Summary
Daniel has had Saxon for a little while now, appearing to him after an eventful trip to Thailand, and made him do all sorts of little loyalty tests that he has passed, all leading up to this point here: the two of them in bed, Daniel nearly stripped and Saxon completely undressed, his legs drawn up to his chest, giving heavy, musical breaths as he settles in between his identically muscular thighs.
You're not supposed to have sexual relations with the ancient entity that for some reason has attached itself to you. Saxon knows this, but this particular ancient entity is exquisitely handsome, and soon enough, Saxon finds himself plummeting into temptation.
A.k.a: sexual relations with his demonic doppleganger, leads Saxon to a newfound discovery about himself when he's suddenly paid an unusual compliment.

After being friends for so long, Andy really should've learned by now not to let Novak Djokovic call the stakes. Especially when said stakes involve the words 'bet' and 'bondage' at the Olympics.
Even if it's what he wants.

Summary
He startles out of his thoughts when Tedesco coughs. He is grinning, now, like he knows something Aldo doesn't. “No?” He takes a pointed drag. He must think blowing out plumes of flavoured smoke makes him look attractive. “I always thought he had very beautiful blue eyes, our Tommaso. A fine face—one might think he is a continental man. Do you think he's kept to his vows of celibacy?”
“I'm sure he has,” Aldo says neutrally. Thomas is not an easy man to tempt.

Bellini leans in, conspiratorial. “To be honest with you, Holy Father, it’s a delicate situation. Cardinal Lawrence is… in heat.”
Vincent leans back in his chair. “Oh.” He lets the knowledge roll around in his brain without any landing point. “Well, that’s… understandable.”
