Summary
“—and I know that there’s Becca and Tanner and Millie to consider, but I was wondering if you maybe wanted to move in? Together? With me?”
Mel blinks. He certainly doesn’t look like he’s having a stroke.
“Frank, why would we move in together?”
“I thought it might be nice,” he shrugs here, acting nonchalant even though Mel can see the tension in his jaw. “To take that next step in our relationship.”
“Frank, what are you talking about? We’re not in a relationship?”
At this, Frank’s frown deepens before widening into a frustrated half smile. “Uh, yes we are? We’ve been dating for nine months?”
What.
Or, Frank thinks Mel doesn’t do physical touch.
Or, Mel doesn’t realize they’ve been dating for nine months. -

Summary
To You
a novel by Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu’s best-selling debut novel is a memoir that comes in the form of a long and heartfelt letter to his long-time best friend, former volleyball teammate, and lover, Sakusa Kiyoomi. He tells the story of his dysfunctional family upbringing, the unwavering friendships that helped him through it, his strange sexuality journey, what it means to live, to lose, to grieve, and at the heart of it all, to love.
“Painfully human, honest, and fucking hilarious. Both this novel and the person who wrote it.” - The New York Times Book Review
“So intimately written that I felt like I was their third. I’d love that for me, actually.” - Hoshiumi Kourai, author
“Atsumu writes the way he talks and finishing this book felt like having to say goodbye to a friend. Good thing he actually is my friend. Too bad for the rest of you, though!” - Kita Shinsuke, author -

Summary
During his weeks at the cottage the only people Shane usually had to interact with were his parents, and it was always so—nice. Such a relief. To not have to be a person, for a couple of weeks. Or, at least, to not have to be the kind of person other people seemed to think that he was, or that a hockey player was, or that a hockey player had to be. It wasn’t just about pretending he was straight. Sometimes, despite doing his best to ignore the jabs, Shane was forced to confront the fact that he really did often feel like a robot, and that the cottage was—for lack of better phrasing—his recharge time. And now—now Ilya was here. And Shane knew how to kiss him, how to play against him, how to be fucked by him, but there was no rulebook for this.

shane does not like change. he does not like shifts in the status quo. he also honestly doesn't really like when people are in his house.
however. shane does like ilya. maybe enough that none of that matters.

Summary
So, in Russia, it is not Christmas yet. It is not yet a lot of things in Russia. That’s good, Ilya thinks. Maybe there, it’s still some earlier version of him. Maybe somewhere, in some parallel alignment of days and months, he is still the captain of the Boston Raiders. Maybe he hasn’t been traded yet. Maybe he hasn’t packed up his life and moved continents and switched languages. Maybe he’s still wearing familiar colors, still answering to a city that knows his name and chants it like it's both a prayer and a promise. Ilya. Ilya. Ilya. Maybe he hasn’t become a Centaur yet. Maybe the future has not yet caught up to Ilya Rozanov there.
--- Ilya spends his second Christmas in Shane's cottage, and contemplates the idea of home, grief, and what it means to speak a language.
