Summary
A straight-lined full-draped jacket with broad square shoulders and velvet cuffs. His drainpipe trousers hug his legs in a way that’s hazardously flattering. He smooths a hand over his pink-striped waistcoat, grinning like a loon at his reflection. He has never felt this empowered, this invincible, this dangerous.
The oily sculpture of his jelly-rolled quiff gleams in the light streaming in through the window - a literal illumination occurring in the humble bedroom of one young John Lennon.
This is what he wants to do. This is what he wants to be.
-
John and Paul are Savile Row tailors that go into business together.

Summary
There are threads that cannot be seen, yet they hold together footsteps, choices, and breaths.
They have neither beginning nor end; they move through the years like hidden veins, like silent currents beneath the calm surface of a sea. Sometimes it takes time to notice them; other times, a single glance, a fleeting encounter, or a detail that leaves a sweet, indelible mark in memory is enough. In either case, those threads have the extraordinary power to bind two souls that, no matter how far they may try to drift apart, will always find their way back to each other.
So it was for them.

Summary
Carlos has never, not once, seen Jannik naked.
OR
Jannik doesn’t take his shorts off in the locker room and Carlos can’t stop thinking about it.
Is it his dick?
Is he embarrassed?
Is he a never nude?
The possibilities are endless.

Summary
"Are you staying tomorrow?" Jannik asks as fireworks go off overhead, the stadium illuminated red and violet and gold. The adrenaline of the final is starting to fade, but enough remains for him to say: "If you are—tomorrow, we're going to the coast. If you want to go with us?"
Carlos leans closer, brow wrinkling slightly as he tries to hear over the noise. "Tomorrow? Go where?"
"There's a beach, a little north of here. It's very beautiful. They have jet skiing." Ba-boom. Brilliant fiery flowers spiral across the night sky. The explosions of smaller fireworks syncopate with the suddenly rapid beating of Jannik's own heart. "If you're still here tomorrow, do you want to go? With us?"
Colors in the sky reflect in the smiling eyes looking up at him. "Yeah, of course." Carlos sounds as happy as if he were the one holding the winner's trophy. "Let's go!"
Jannik, Carlos, and a life-changing day in 2022.

Summary
Jannik feels sick with it. The boredom of his life, the monotony of it all. His husband who doesn’t care and his huge empty house that rattles when he speaks and all these boring carbon copies of people.
Until he meets a boy who interrupts his monotony. And Jannik decides he will be his.
