   Summary

   Gabin Roux is tipsy on lukewarm champagne, watching his sworn enemy flirt with his almost-crush at the company Christmas party. Injured, sidelined, and stuck in the corps, he’s starting to wonder if this is as good as it gets.

   That is, until the slightly odd, annoyingly brilliant American choreographer Tobias Bell shows up at Le Ballet National and turns Gabin’s world on its head.

   This is the story of Gabin and Tobias and the creative and romantic chemistry which sparks between them through the events of Étoile Season 1 and beyond.
