Summary
Kevin blinked up at the fluorescent lights of the emergency room, the antiseptic sting of the air making his nose wrinkle. The nurse at his side was saying something about paperwork, about calling his emergency contact, but he wasn’t listening.
Then the curtain rustled, and a familiar voice cut through the haze.
"Of course it’s you. I knew when I was told to prepare for an *exy star* coming in, it would be you. Never were as fast as Neil?"
Kevin turned his head—slowly, carefully—and there he was.
Aaron fucking Minyard, in scrubs and a white coat, a stethoscope draped around his neck. His hair was shorter than it had been in college, his face sharper, but his eyes were the same—cold, assessing, and just as unimpressed as ever.
```
When pro Exy star Kevin Day collapses on the court, the last person he expects to treat him is Aaron Minyard—his former teammate, now a med student with a sharp tongue and even sharper eyes. Forced to recover under Aaron’s reluctant care, old tensions ignite as sleepless nights lead to unexpected confessions: Between shared silences and lingering touches, they’ll have to decide if some risks are worth taking—even if it means rewriting the rules of the game.

Summary
It’s not, really, a big deal, honestly.
It’s just, after Katelyn, the thought of being with another girl still hurts. For a long time, the thought of being with anyone who was not her hurt. Quite a bit. But like his mother’s death, time sands out the sharp corners of all grief. So he’s considering his options. It’s just a little experiment. It doesn’t have to go anywhere.
Aaron is currently waiting for Grindr to download.
It’s not a big deal. Really.
He considers deleting it at least three times as he sets up his profile, but it’s not a big deal.

Summary
“Concussion. My helmet-I...” Jeremy can hear the slight slur of his own words, and tries his best to carefully speak again. “I think I'm okay.”
Jean treats him to a withering glare, unimpressed, before his expression pales slightly, and Jeremy does not have to guess as to why. The backliner pulls his hand from Jeremy's skull, holding it in front of him so he can see as well.
Red.
Slick and bright, coating Jean's fingers.
Or: Jeremy is badly injured, and finds it increasingly difficult to keep his feelings for a certain former Raven under wraps as some interesting facts come to light.

Summary
If the only way Andrew can ever have Neil, ever kiss him, is by making this deal, he will do it.
“So? Will you teach me, Andrew?”
Andrew exhales, turning his face so he can breathe out the smoke that has been filling his lungs without blowing it directly into Neil’s face, which has gotten much closer than it was only moments ago. “Yes, Neil. I’ll teach you.”
or
In which Andrew and Neil do not play Exy in college, meet under different circumstances, become best friends, and make a different deal.
