    Summary

    AU: When pop superstar Charles Leclerc finds himself unceremoniously dumped by his longtime boyfriend, the handsome and successful Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz, his PR team develops the perfect solution to ensure Charles maintain his "pop diva" image: By having him fake date 4-time world champion Max Verstappen who may or may not be Charles's childhood crush.

    Charles can't fathom why the handsome and newly single Red Bull driver would even need to engage in a fake relationship . . . but the petty and spiteful part of him can't wait to stick it to Carlos when he's photographed everywhere with a hot new driver.

    (And maybe, some tiny little part of Charles just can't stop his heart from fluttering every time those ocean blue eyes look back at him wearing an expression that is frighteningly close to affection.)

    Summary

    Enterprise is safe to fly another day. All thanks to Captain James T. Kirk's sacrifice. He's made peace with his death, even though it breaks his heart one final time to see the hurt in Spock's eyes. Still, the last thing he gets to see is the face of one of his dearest friends... until his eyes snap back open. Not in a hospital. In a shuttle as it lands at the Academy.

    “Once you exit the shuttle you are free to return to your dorms. Those of you who are new, you’ll follow me to registration and physicals,” a vaguely familiar-looking officer says, and Jim’s heart stops in his chest. Surprising, considering it shouldn’t be beating at all.

    Summary

    "I wanna test something."

    "Test something," Will repeats. Mike perks up a little sitting up on an elbow, like he thinks Will is finally getting it. Which he's not, for the record.

    Mike's words come quick. "Yeah, just to see. Nothing too crazy. Not even like last night necessarily. Or not not like last night. Just smaller. Simple. Like earlier today, in the living room. You know wh—"

    "Like your kiss with Jane," Will interrupts.

    "Yes. Exactly."

    Or: It's January 1992, and Mike and Will are college roommates, teetering on the edge of becoming something more. Mike drunkenly kisses Will at a bar, the night before Jane returns after five years of being presumed dead. Will convinces himself everything is fine, this is life returning to the way it was supposed to be. But Mike won’t stop kissing him.
