Summary
George's bright smile vanishes, replaced by a frosty facade of politeness. "Well. I guess I'll see you on the top step Sunday, then?"
His tone still rings sharp with sarcasm. It fills Max with absurd glee.
"Will you be rooting for me in the stands?"
George huffs and pulls a VIP paddock pass from his coat pocket, the lanyard tangled between his long fingers. "Definitely not."
or—
Max doesn't intend to spend his weekend riling up Lewis's model friend—it just sort of happens. That's how it all begins.

Summary
They never talked about what it was between them, Max had never been good with emotions and talking and George had been too scared for things to change if they put a label on it.
And yet he had thought that they were still on the same page of wanting this to turn into more.
So when Max knocked at his door today, the Brit had pulled him in by his collar, lips already finding their way onto any available skin.
Clearly that assumption had been wrong because Max pushed him away instead and told him he was going to be publicly dating Charles Leclerc for the foreseeable future.

Summary
One argument. One moment of blind Alpha rage. One word that changed everything.
When Max Verstappen used the "Alpha Voice" on the flight back from a disastrous Silverstone weekend, he only wanted a moment of peace from George’s relentless, posh bickering. He didn't realize that a Command with no expiration date is a prison. Now, two weeks later, the "Diva" of the paddock has become a ghost. George Russell is physically unable to speak, unable to stay in Max’s sight, and slowly fading away under the weight of a silence he can't break.
Max thought he was winning an argument. He didn't realize he was breaking his Mate.

Summary
Once, he’d looked at Heeseung with pure adoration. Once, he’d called Jake the love of his life. Twenty years later, Sunghoon, now thirty-eight, is widow to an alpha who treated him like cattle, parent to a child he couldn't protect, and abandoned by everyone he thought loved him.
But now that they've found him again, neither Jake nor Heeseung will let themselves let him go.
-
(As teenagers, Jake and Heeseung loved Sunghoon, but they also eventually grew to love each other. They did not say anything to Sunghoon, who thought, naturally, that his alpha, Jake, had cheated on him with one of their closest friends. The pain and anger causes Sunghoon to lash out by falling into the arms of an abusive alpha more than twice his age and who isolates him from all his family and friends.
This is set twenty years after.)

Summary
Jungwon thought he knew what he wanted. He had a stable relationship, stable career, stable life plan.
He was happy... or at least he thought he was.
Then the accident happened.
A shattered femur wouldn't be as big of a deal to anyone else, but Jungwon was a DANCER. His everything was in his legs.
But, an injury was just an injury; it would heal with time, like all things did. Jungwon was fine. He just had to work a new plan in with his other ones: Recovery.
Jay wasn't supposed to be a part of it.
Jungwon wasn't supposed to be having torturous dreams about his Physical Therapist tying him up with a resistance band and bending him over a treadmill.
And he definitely, DEFINITELY wasn't supposed to be getting a boner every time he touched him.
Making Jungwon question everything he thought he knew, making him cross boundaries that were never meant to be crossed.
He thought he was happy, but that was before Jay.
Jay was more.
He was everything.
And he'd make sure Jungwon didn't forget it.
