Summary
“Hi,” Ilya says, his attempt at making his voice a purr lost to how fucking happy he is, to have this, to see Shane Hollander in a way no one else ever gets to. He crosses the room and kneels over him, pulling him up into a kiss that Shane gives him easily, making a sweet, soft noise that makes Ilya want to bite him with how cute it is. Instead, he gets a handful of the edge of the soft, fuzzy blanket to whip it off of Shane and replace it with his own body-
-only to be stopped when the blanket turns out to be far, far fucking heavier than he anticipated, pulling him up short when his attempt at a flick ends with barely moving the edge before it flops back down with audible weight.
(ilya versus shane's weighted blanket)

Summary
His body is leaner, broader, scarred in places only Carlos and his physio have mapped: the left knee reconstructed, the right wrist that clicks when the weather changes, the faint line beneath his hip where they removed a cyst six years ago and he cried because Carlos held his hand so tightly in the hospital that his own knuckles bruised. He carries it all. The body is a palimpsest, every injury a verse scraped away and written over, and he is still here. Still competing. Still, somehow, Jannik Sinner.
(The hyphenated name on his accreditation badge—SINNER-ALCARAZ, J.—still makes something in his chest bloom stupidly every time he sees it. Seven years married. The thrill has not, in fact, diminished. He is a lost cause.)
Life comes at you fast. Sometimes your devilishly handsome middle-aged coach becomes your husband-stuck-at-home-with-a-bad-back. Sometimes your husband’s son ends up in your quarter of the draw. Sometimes clay season feels like a love story.
OR: Two men who built an empire together try to survive a spring spent on opposite sides of Europe.

Summary
Max pulled Charles’s wallet out of his own hoodie pocket and tossed it onto the table with a soft thump. "You’re lucky I’m the one living with you. Anyone else would have let you starve."
"I hate you," Charles whispered, though the words lacked their usual sting.
Max just leaned closer, his voice low enough that only Charles could hear it over the bar’s music. "No, you don't. You’re just annoyed because I'm right. Again."
or
the one where Max leaves a post-it note for everything, and Charles is slowly realizing that every single one of them says I love you.

Summary
Carlos was Jannik's shadow, a loyal bodyguard to a discreet prince who rarely made the headlines. Carlos was also very much in love with Jannik, but that was irrelevant.
But the day Jannik made the front page, Carlos' world tilted on its axis, and suddenly, being the prince's bodyguard and protecting his own heart at the same time became much more difficult.Bookmarked by LGardiner
