    Summary

    "My old man, Arlan… he used to say that the worst demons get bigger in the dark. You're in the dark, Aerion. I can see it. You don't have to pay me. You don't have to owe me anything. I can just… be there. When you eat. Or when you feel like you can't."

    Dunk held out a hand, palm up. Rough, calloused, honest.

    "I can just sit with you. I’m good at sitting. I’m big enough to block the door if you try to run to the bathroom."


    What happens when a Flea Bottom nobody is drawn like a (mam)moth to the Brightflame?

    Hint: Recovery isn’t linear. There’s a lot to unpack in Aerion’s brain chemistry. And Dunk has to juggle all of this while practicing for tournaments and studying History. Fuck.

    But he’ll do anything to be Aerion’s knight in shining armor.

    (Lowkey, Dunk becomes an honorary manny-driver-sugar baby of the Targfam.)

    Summary

    Francis Crozier is the newly made co-head of a recently academised school deemed to ‘need improvement’. To survive his first year there he’s going to have to work alongside his well-dressed and insufferable co-head, James Fitzjames, as they battle corporate red tape, stressed teachers, a dilapidated school building, and an absent Executive Head.

    Oh, and then there’s the school’s latest student - a girl toeing the line of permanent exclusion, determined to get there. Not to mention her father, who may yet bring a whole new world of troubles to Erebus Academy…

    Summary

    Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”

    “Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.

    “No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”

    “Go fuck yourself.”

    +++

    Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.

    And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?
