Summary
So I wrote a novel. It's fiction but also sort of fan-fiction, though not about a specific artist. It's fan fiction about being-in-a-band, about the Music Industry itself, from skeevy toilet clubs on the Lower East Side to the glittering heights of The Charts and, of course, a semi-romanticised view of NYC in the 90s, from 2 decades' perspective.
Daniel J. Asheton Jr of Metropolis, and Merry Wythenshawe of Deltawave: two bands, a five-year relationship. One of them takes the major label route to international rock stardom, the other the long, hard slog of being an indie cult band. But the real romance is with pop music itself, and what it's like to love music so much that you are prepared to sacrifice your whole life (and everyone in it) to be able to play it. Can they balance the pressures of success (and the pressures of failure) to keep their musical dreams - and their love - alive?
Not great literature; a soap opera (with guitars).

Summary
After years of grueling battles, academic rivals Max and Charles part ways upon graduating from medical school until they meet again as surgical interns at the same hospital. Their age-old feud continues, as expected.
*****
“So it’s true.” Charles’s brows lift, scavenging for clarification.
“What?”
“You,” Charles drawls, “think I’m attractive.” He has the nerve to smile, fine corners of his mouth carved upward by ripe fixation.
“I never said that.” Max stands his ground, stepping one foot closer to hide the consternation that steeps his neck and ears in vermillion. "I said you were pretty, there’s a difference.”
*****
OR Grey’s Anatomy Enemies to Lovers but make it Formula 1.

Summary
“Pierre - what? Why are you calling me? I do not have anything to do with him.”
“You were listed as his only emergency contact, sir. If you would please -”
“No,” Esteban interjects, waving his hands about as if she can actually see him, “No, no. There’s a mistake here or something. I can give you a different number to call, but I do not have anything to do with him.”
Or: Tragedy strikes for Pierre one week ahead of the Austin GP. Esteban is left with no choice but to pick up the pieces in the aftermath.

When In Love With Your Gridmate...Sleep With Your Teammate Instead? by Perfectly_Psychotic

Summary
Charles is in love with Max.
Carlos has major feelings for Lando.
Neither of them believe that the object of their affections feels the same way, so of course the logical conclusion is for them to commiserate by sleeping together.
...right?
[Endgame Lestappen and Carlando, but this has plenty for the Charlos girlies too 😉]

Summary
(The story of how you met the love of your life, how he was in love with his best friend, how his best friend was in love with your best friend, and how you were also in love with your best friend).
After you shattered your wrist, you knew there was no coming back. But Tashi Duncan kept a firm hold on your lifeline when you tried to break ties with the tennis world. And now Art Donaldson and Patrick Zweig are forcing their way into your life, and you're starting to realise you might never be done with these stupid rackets and stupid fuzzy green balls. The three tennis players might just be the death of you, but you need them like you need air to breathe, and you'll never feel complete until the four of you are all together again.
(Call an ambulance for the creators of Miraculous Ladybug, because they've got nothing on this love square).

Summary
// a challengers reader-insert
Sometimes you wonder what would have happened if you had told Tashi you needed to head home instead. She wouldn't have given you her phone number at the end of the night or called you to vent about Anna Mueller every so often that year. She wouldn't have visited you every time she stopped by New York or helped you eventually become a line judge. Up until that point, there was no reason to regret having met her.
That is, until the year she introduced you to Art and Patrick.

Summary
"It is the attestation of several notable figures - Septon Eustace and Mushroom being in rare accord on this matter, among others - that the match between the King's brother and daughter was one of considerable intimacy and ardour. So great were Daemon's appetites for his young bride that, when seeking his whereabouts upon Dragonstone or in King's Landing, it became commonplace to jape that one need only proceed directly to the Princess’s bedchambers so as to find him.”

Summary
I’m not getting kicked out for my little stunt back there. In fact, I might even be on my way to getting a promotion. Even Commander Dameron - Poe Dameron, poster boy for the Resistance - isn’t as bad as I’d assumed. I can recognise that, right now, I’m relieved and will probably be overjoyed soon enough by this turn of events, but at this moment I’m still just struggling to make heads and tails of it all.
If nothing else, I can rest easy knowing things will continue as normal.
Probably, at least.
