    Summary

    “If you’d like to review the full terms and conditions of your deal, you can have as much time as you need to read--”

    Eliot shook his head, still not quite used to the way his hair curled below his chin, now, since he hadn’t been around to keep it properly groomed for the last-- however long it had been. God, he hadn’t even bothered to ask.

    “You get my deep, dark, never-told secret, and I get the opportunity to try and Orpheus-and-Eurydice Q the fuck out of this place,” he said, cutting through Penny’s bureaucratic power-trip. “I got it the first twelve times.”

    “I would strongly advise--”

    “I’m ready.”

    The corners of Penny’s mouth went up, but it would have been a stretch to call the expression a smile. “No, you’re really not."

     

    The Monster's been defeated, Quentin is dead, and Eliot has a quest of his own--if he can trust himself to complete it. An Orpheus and Eurydice remix.

    Summary

    "Or I could try writing a romance novel," Quentin said without thinking.

    That one made Eliot laugh. Hard. "A Quentin Coldwaterian bodice ripper!" His crow's feet crinkled with a wide, brilliant smile. "Well, now, that I would read."

    "No, you wouldn't."

    "Oh, to be clear—my curiosity would be an entirely morbid one, like the urge to rubberneck, or watch a snuff film. A literary call of the void, if you will." He lifted more noodles high in the air and slurped them down, still grinning. "But hey, at least it'd be interesting, right?"
     

    A year after professional disappointment rocked his sense of purpose, acclaimed literary fiction author Quentin Coldwater finds desperate times may call for drastic measures.

    Summary

    "Maybe he should ask Ilya for Shane Hollander’s number. Shane was a fucking babe.

    The thought made Troy smile, and that was at least something.”

    ***

    What if in Role Model, Troy actually asked Ilya for Shane's number?

    The road to the Stanley Cup is fraught with expectations, injuries, and worst of all, conversations about feelings.

    Summary

    “Look, I know you’ve got this...thing...for Rozanov.”
    Shane’s stomach dropped. “What do you mean?”
    J.J. smiled sadly at him. “Why do you think I keep trying to set you up? Having a crush on a straight man is no good, buddy."

    ----

    The events of Heated Rivalry + The Long Game through the eyes of J.J. Boiziau.

    aka

    All of the times J.J. was pretty oblivious / all of the times Shane wasn't as careful as he thought he was.
