Summary
Saps knows that, in hindsight, all this will be pretty funny. But right now, he's slumped in his white SUV at the back of a Burger King parking lot, gnawing on lukewarm fries to distract himself from the fact that there’s literal shit raining into his new apartment.
When Saps transfers to his dream university for his junior year, a string of characteristic bad luck lands him on Flux's doorstep.
Problem: he hasn't spoken to Flux since that catastrophic fight at his high school graduation party, and, as his former best friend, he knows very well that Flux can hold a grudge.

Summary
Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”
“Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.
“No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”
“Go fuck yourself.”
+++
Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.
And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?

Summary
Flux drums his fingers against the table, not meeting his eyes. "People tend to say stupid things when they think they're about to die," he says.
"You didn't mean it, then?"
Some undefinable expression flits across his face before it settles back into stony impassivity. "I thought you called me here to discuss, oh I don't know, the endless loop in time that we're both stuck in, for some godforsaken reason?"
Saps exhales long and slow through his nose. Fine. They don't have to talk about it. He can ignore the small, naive part of him that had hoped they might come to some sort of understanding. That had thought maybe this loop could be their second chance.
Or, Saparata is stuck in a time loop, reliving the Battle of Infernus over and over again. In order to break out of it, he needs help from the one other person trapped alongside him: Fluixon.

Summary
At the start of his senior year, Flux is feeling on top of the world. He's won the housing lottery and gotten into his top choice of classes. Even better, the newest season of Decayed and Decrepit (his current fandom obsession) premieres in a couple weeks. In fact, Flux is almost feeling good enough to believe that this might be the year in which he finally works up the courage to confess to his online best friend, Silas, about the years-long crush Flux has on him.
That is, until Saparata shows up: Flux's biggest academic rival and the most insufferable person on campus, who seems determined to ruin Flux's good mood and make his life a living hell.
or: the one in which Flux pines, writes fanfiction, mistakenly falls for the same person twice, and makes a lot of bad decisions along the way.
