    Summary

    "So, what's the plan, Golden Boy?" Scott asked, leaning back against the headrest, completely unbothered by Kip’s prickly demeanor. "You going to spend the whole flight glaring a hole through the fuselage, or are you going to accept that we're stuck together?"

    "I prefer 'Golden Boy' to 'wall-crasher'," Kip shot back, a spark of genuine irritation finally overriding his exhaustion. "And for the record, figure skating requires precision, balance, and absolute control. It's an art form. Your sport requires a mouthguard and a high tolerance for concussions."

    To Kip’s surprise, Scott didn't bristle. Instead, the corners of his mouth twitched, and a slow, devastating smile spread across his face. It fundamentally altered the hockey player's entire demeanor, erasing the stoic, intimidating aura and replacing it with something warm, incredibly charming, and deeply lethal.

    Or:
    The one where a 19-year-old figure skater Kip Grady attends his first ever Olympics and meets a 25-year-old Scott Hunter, the New York Admirals' center, who'll change his life forever.

    Summary

    "So this is what Stiles does. He lies in Scott’s bed and waits for Melissa to say she’s found someone to get it out of him, to cure him of the wrongness and the bad, and he dreams.

    God, he dreams.

    He dreams of fire and swollen bellies and that scene in Alien, of giving birth to jackals through his urethra, the whole horrific nine yards. His head is a terrible place to be, he can’t imagine his stomach is much better, why anyone would want to put a thing inside of it."

    Summary

    Lydia looks over her shoulder to look at Derek Hale again, then back to him. “He’s an asshole, you know.”

    “You think I don’t know that?” Stiles is confused, furrowing his brow. “I’ve only spent the last ten years of my life fighting with him.”

    “Yeah, but, I mean, he’s an asshole,” she draws the word out nice and long, as if it takes on a different meaning depending on exactly how she says it. “No one who has ever dated or hooked up with that guy has ever had anything nice to say about him after the fact.”

    “What do I care about that?”

    She looks at him. It’s that all-knowing, all-seeing gaze, like the eye of Mordor. Stiles feels tiny under its wrath, so he looks away and stares down at his beer can, traces the design with his thumb. “I know you, Stiles Stilinski.”

    “Not really. We only dated for, like, five months.”

    With a snort, totally uncharacteristic of her and something she would never do sober, she rolls her eyes. “Gee, I wonder why.”

    Summary

    If the only reason he isn’t rotting in the ruins of a department store in Encino is because of the sense of duty of a rookie he’s tormented from the moment they met, then Tommy shouldn’t be here right now.

    Statistically, karmically, cosmically, like he’s always known in the back of his mind, Tommy was never supposed to make it out of that mall. An insignificant man dying in an insignificant place—his fate finally unfurled. Any other American man burned and buried in the belly of any other American strip mall, the two of them indiscernible archetypes of their kind.

    Tommy’s life has been a horror movie, but loving Evan is like a romantic comedy.
