Summary
Max wondered if he should describe yesterday, how he waited till George approached unsuspecting, or today, how he did it in less than a second.
But there was no yesterday, and today felt eerily the same anyway.
One thing did not change.
~~~
Max is stuck in a time loop, repeating the same day over and over again. Can he find his way out?

Summary
He wakes up with Eddie's arm thrown over his waist.
There's a pit in his stomach as soon as he opens his eyes, because the alarm is on again, the same radio station, the same song. The sunlight streaming into the room is buttery-soft, brand new because it's early. The alarm is ringing so they can take Chris to school. And—
He reaches out for the bedside table on his side of the bed they share, clumsily unplugs his phone one-handed. The screen lights up to a familiar wallpaper, and it's right there, just above the top of Buck's head: Wednesday.
or: buck breaks up with eddie, even if it means losing a part of himself, because it's the right thing to do. the universe decides to test that conviction.

Summary
Lando attaches the blushy, pouty photo and sends it, then locks his phone and drops it onto the carpet beside him, staring up at the ceiling.
There’s a pause, stretching suspiciously long.
A faint click echoes through the call. Mute. Then unmute again.
“Sorry,” OP says when he comes back, his voice rougher now. “Thought someone was at the door.”
Or: Lando loses an F1 championship and signs up for a charity Minecraft speedrunning tournament to cope with his existential crisis. Turns out his coach, faceless speedrunning champion OP81, might be a bit of a fanboy.

Summary
“Our time’s up,” Yuki says, glancing at his watch. “Figure skating practice starts now.”
Max waves him off without taking his eyes off the ice.
“I think the figure skaters won’t mind if we run a little late.”
“Oh, we very much will,” a voice says behind him.
After an injury put an end to his career, Max returns to the academy he once called home – no longer as a player, but as the coach of a junior ice hockey team.
It took George years to stop thinking about how everything could have turned out differently. Until Max is standing on the other side of the rink again.
