Summary
“He just wants so badly for RJ to be okay. That’s it. Because if RJ’s okay then that means that Macklin’s done his job. Absorbed all of his brother’s grief and sadness like a sponge until he has it all and RJ carries none of it.
But life isn’t that simple, and grief doesn’t work like that. If you’re not careful, the blackness of it sticks to your bones, fills the cracks in your heart until you’re half human and half something else. A monstrous thing. There’s no way to absorb someone else’s sadness, not entirely. It just keeps coming, unending and all-consuming.
You have to let them feel it.”
Or,
RJ Celebrini is drafted first overall to the San Jose Sharks in 2029 and billets with veteran Will Smith (Hockey) for his rookie year. Macklin is RJ's legal guardian and brother, unravelling and rebuilding in the background of his brother's first year in the NHL.

Summary
"Macklin looks back as he says it, a small love you pressed into his brother’s shaggy, overgrown hair. His green eyes are filled with mirth, twinkling and breathtakingly beautiful.
Will clambers over after a moment of watching from the sidelines, engulfing the two Celebrini’s in a hug, leaning all of his weight against them. RJ screeches his disapproval before dissolving into laughter. Macklin just giggles, bright and airy, and tightens his grip on RJ to keep him in place under the weight of Will’s affection.
Will squeezes his arms tight, pressing a smile to the back of Macklin’s neck."
The off-season after the kiss, where Will is allergic to communication, Mack is learning to be someone other than his brother’s guardian, and RJ is the real main character.

Summary
“Hyunjin is dead,” Jeongin breathed. He looked up to see the others stare back at him with wide eyes, Hyunjin towering over them at the back, the light from the window in the hallway lighting up his figure. “They told me he was dead.”
Hyunjin's dark eyes found Jeongin’s tearful ones.
“Not dead,” Hyunjin said with a poisonous smile. “Just gay.”
Or: Jeongin has spent years mourning the loss of his first love, a love he was told by his church was sinful and wrong, but one he just couldn't stop from blooming in his chest. Now, years later, Jeongin meets Hyunjin again, very alive and also very different from how he used to be back in their shared church.

Summary
“Kuroo-sensei is one of the greatest voices in modern Japanese literature,” he asserted, looking down on Tetsurou like he was garbage, while unknowingly singing his praises. “He’s put out a more impressive and consistent catalog at twenty-seven than most authors will ever achieve throughout their entire career.”
The air escaped Tetsurou’s lungs, exhaled with shaky, incredulous laughter. He felt himself leaning forward, propping a hand on his thigh, meeting those devoted golden eyes head on.
“That’s some high praise,” he remarked. “You must really like this guy.”
“I don’t like him,” Tsukishima snapped, offended at the accusation. “I love him."
Award-winning author and notorious recluse Kuroo Tetsurou is suffering from a stubborn bout of writers block.The only cure? One sharply-opinionated and godly Tsukishima Kei, who holds his beloved Kuroo-sensei's word as testament. It's love at first sight for Tetsurou, but his darling Apollo develops an immediate disdain for the obnoxious stranger intruding upon his book club.
Oh, if only he knew...
