Summary
Sokka doesn't consider himself a romantic person. The funniest thing is, he's in love with his best friend. And he's fine with that. They're platonic. Nothing more, nothing less.

Summary
When Pete Mitchell is ten years old, he sets his mind, there and then, that he’s going to be the best goddamn pilot the Navy’s ever seen, and nothing and no one is going to keep him out of the air.
When Tom Kazansky is twenty-seven, their paths collide, and it makes the world shift beneath his feet. Pete "Maverick" Mitchell is not a part of his Twenty Year Plan, but Tom can’t seem to shake him. He stops trying, after a while. It’s the best— and worst— thing that’s ever happened to him.

Summary
Fraser had never heard anyone refer to him by his full name. It was always just Connor. Or Bedard. Or, as their teammates called him, "Bedsy.”
And he was the one person Fraser couldn’t stand.
Connor Bedard. Bedsy. The former best friend of Bryce Minten for the three years they played hockey together, Fraser’s inherited nemesis, and the unfortunate object of his most shoved down desires.
He was so effortless. So interesting. So infuriating. And Fraser was horribly infatuated.

Summary
"House rules, Mack. You guys have to sleep separately," Aiden announces.
“That’s so dumb!” Mack says shrilly. “We’re not even gonna do anything!”
Aiden spreads his arms in frustration. “It doesn’t matter, Mack! If I don’t get to share with my girlfriend, you don’t get to share with your boyfriend.”
“God, it’s not like he’s gonna rail me in my childhood bedroom with everyone in the house!” Mack whines loudly.
Great. Now Will is stuck at the Celebrinis' for the next two weeks---sleeping under their roof, eating their food, and taking advantage of their overall generosity--all while Rick and Robyn enjoy their newfound knowledge that he tops their son.
