Nico felt like Icarus. Fly too close to the sun, and your wings will melt. Fly too close to the sea, your wings will grow heavy. Nico had already flown too close to the sea. He had allowed his infatuation with Percy to rule his life, his decisions, for far to many years. His wings had grown heavy, and he'd drowned. Icarus had made a mistake. He strayed too far, entranced by the kindness of the light. The dark wouldn't be as welcoming, ushering you in with no hesitancy and crossed arms. That didn't work out so well for Icarus. So, Nico would allow this filter, this light, to cover him, shroud him in kindness, and possibility, and warmth. But he would not cross further. He would not succumb to the light only to fall forever into darkness. He would do what Icarus couldn't. Nico di Angelo would not fly too close to the sun. Cover art by viria!

Struggling with your sexual identity is no easy path-and it's never a joke. Especially not in the world of football. Especially not as a Black male with an overbearing father who makes it clear he "ain't raise no sissy." For Isiah Carter, that struggle only gets worse during his junior year of high school when a new teammate, Luke Collins, joins the field in the summer. At first, Luke is nothing but a thorn in his side-the dog to his cat. They clash constantly, never seeing eye to eye, always one argument away from throwing hands. They clash on and off the field, tension building with every argument, every look held too long. Luke is everything Isiah shouldn't want-and everything he can't ignore. But one night changes everything, and suddenly, Isiah is unable to deny what he's been running from.

Scott Hunter never expected the hardest part of playing for the Boston Storm would be keeping his feelings hidden, especially from Kip Grady, the calm, quietly brilliant assistant coach who has no idea Scott's heart has been tied in knots for two years. Thankfully, Scott has his best friend Ilya Rosanov, the Storm's pride and problem child. Ilya is confident, talented, stubborn and the center of the team's spotlight. The two of them have always been inseparable. But everything changes the day Shane Hollander joins the roster. Shane is sunshine wrapped in skates charming, golden, effortlessly brilliant.

As the season unfolds, friendships shift under the pressure of rising fame, jealousy, and unexpected chemistry.
