Summary
“You’re him, right? The music guy?”
“The music guy?” Eddie echoes, around his cigarette. He doesn’t do groupies, so if this is that then he’ll be pretending to be anyone other than who he is.
“Yeah,” the guy says, though a note of doubt does creep into his tone. Perhaps not. “You know, with the guitar or whatever.”

“I feel like I’ve woken up in an upside down world,” Gareth says, laughing and embracing Eddie, oblivious to the way Eddie’s eye twitches at the words upside down. “Who knew you could jock?”
“It’s like a horror movie,” Frank teases, shooting Steve a shit-eating grin. They love their token jock, but they love hanging shit on him any chance they get more.
“Where’d you even find those?” Jeff says, gesturing at Eddie’s jeans.

“Absolutely f–”
“Language!”
“–ucking not. Absolutely not, Harrington. I don’t care what they offered.”
“What did they offer?” Gareth asks, curiously.
“Traitor,” Eddie hisses.

Summary
It’s actually incredibly ironic – that the violently green drink released as a promotional tie-in for a ghost movie is actually helping Steve with his ghost problem.
“Sorry,” he says, after the wet sponge he’s washing dishes with flies out of his hands and smacks him in the forehead, sending soapy water everywhere. “You’re not a problem, I didn’t mean that.”

Summary
Eddie’s grave is pristine. Someone clearly takes meticulous, painstaking care of it.
He sits on the grass, spreading his notebook out in front of him, pressing his palms into the soft green carpet. “Hey Eddie,” he says, softly. “Sorry it took me so long to come.”

Summary
“Eddie!” she says, slapping her hands together in front of him. “I am deadly serious. If Dustin Henderson still has that rattail at my literal wedding ceremony this evening, I am going to commit murders, starting with you.”

Summary
When Fleetwood Mac locked themselves away to write, they’d been coke-fuelled, fighting non-stop, sometimes fucking, and always chaotic, but they’d emerged with Rumours – one of the greatest albums ever written. Jeff had proposed this lodge as a writing retreat for them, given their fast looming fourth album deadline, but so far, it hasn’t quite yielded the same results.

Summary
Steve has grown so accustomed to Eddie only calling him by nicknames – Stevie, big boy, Steve-o, doll, sweetheart, pretty boy, and so many others – that the day Eddie just… stops, hits him like a freight train. Steve doesn’t have time to examine why he’s bothered by the sudden change-up – he just knows he needs to get to the bottom of it. Because he's worried about his friend.
Just his friend.

Summary
It’s 1977 - the zenith of the era of sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll. Zep and The Stones rule the radio waves, and if the riffs aren’t big and the bell-bottoms aren’t wide, then you probably don’t belong here. After a short break for the holidays and off the back of the blistering success of their first North American tour, Odysseys and Foxholes are back on the road — and this time they’re off to Europe!
Unfortunately for them all… everything is a disaster.
Manipulated into giving up the only thing he’s ever wanted more than music in order to protect him, Jeremy has relapsed badly, in more ways than one. Riko is finally out from under the watchful eye of his uncle, and is planning to make it everybody else’s problem. And Jean has never been so close to his ancestral home, and yet so far from his heart's home.
But this is a story about finding home. It’s a story about finding home; in friends, in chosen family, in love. It’s a story about finding your way home to what means the most to you, no matter how far you think you’ve wandered off the path. So, once more, let’s rock on!

Summary
It takes Jean longer than it should to realise what the ovular purple mark on Jeremy’s jaw, and the squarish shadow over his Adam’s apple is. It’s only when Jeremy ties back his hair to start warming up, and Jean is given the additional context of four ovular bruises in a line down the curve of Jeremy’s neck, on the opposite side to the jaw bruise, that he realises what that is — a handprint.
Or; Jeremy has bruises again, Ivan Faser is a smug prick, and Jean can’t bear to watch Jeremy hurt himself with lousy men anymore.

Summary
Jeremy may be the world’s biggest popstar, but he’s also just a simple, red-blooded man. And his new bodyguard is very distracting eyecandy - a six-foot-five, muscled, dark-haired and grey-eyed, French-accented god of a man, who sees and pays attention to everything. Including, it seems, the parts of Jeremy he doesn’t normally share voluntarily. Cody, Jeremy’s social media human, who also pays attention, sees a marketing opportunity that is too good to be missed in their undeniable chemistry.
OR: the five times Jeremy and his bodyguard don’t mean to break the internet, and the one time Jeremy definitely does.

Summary
“I write music for myself, as the best way I can express myself. I share it so none of us are alone.”
It’s 1976 - The Kings’ Men have been broken up for over a year, and Jeremy and his band Odysseys have rocketed into stardom with their debut album. But on the eve of a massive North American tour in support of the record, Odysseys find themselves minus a lead guitarist and Evermore Records are insistent on one particular replacement - Jean Moreau. But first, Jeremy has to get him to agree to it after everything that went down in ‘75.
Being back on the road together brings feelings between Jeremy and Jean surging back, but they also have to contend with a new tour manager who is Jean’s living nightmare, Kevin Day’s new band supporting them, and Jeremy’s past - not to mention the truth about what really happened in ‘75.
As they say - there’s never a dull day in rock ‘n’ roll.

Summary
“Music is the only thing in my life that has never let me down. The only thing that has been consistently there for me.”
It’s 1975, and The Kings’ Men are one of the biggest bands on the planet - a juggernaut of hit rock songs, in the midst of a marathon North American tour, and more money and groupies than sense. But lead guitarist Kevin Day has severely injured his hand in a skiing accident, and Jeremy Knox has received the call up to replace him for the remaining tour leg. For an artist who has been trying to make it solo, it’s a dream come true.
Bassist Jean Moreau is angry, and withdrawn, but he and Jeremy click quickly, and as the tension between them grows, a different kind of tension is also brewing within The Kings’ Men. And when the curtain calls time, will they all go home alive?

Summary
Obsession is all-consuming. Jeremy thought he was obsessed with winning a championship only, but maybe he's also a bit obsessed with the way Jean says things in that fucking French accent that sounds like velvet and sex.
Jeremy is also the object of an obsession, and talking Jean Moreau into a fake relationship to deter the stalker feels a little like the moth's obsession with the flame.
Ruinous.

Summary
Helping Jean Moreau heal is a game where Jeremy Knox feels the stakes are too high to even consider the thought of losing. Jean’s first game as a Trojan against Edgar Allan feels like even higher stakes. Falling in love with Moreau - well, those are the highest stakes of all.
“You are his Achilles’ heel,” Laila whispers, in the dark, and her words bleed straight into the empty places in Jeremy’s heart.

Summary
Jean’s first month at USC is nothing but darkness. Of course, he is used to this. The only colour Jean can anchor himself to in that time is Jeremy Knox’s bright, golden hair.
Fucking martyr, Jean thinks in savage French.
