This fanfiction is based on the promotional trailer for The Morning Show Season 2, which airs on September 17, 2021. Cory Ellison and Bradley Jackson, along with many other characters, appear to have conflicting interests and motives driving them farther apart. Cory and Bradley are a new favorite duo of mine. With the tension between the characters in the trailer, and with Billy Crudup taking a lead role in a new series, I worry what this might mean for Cory and Bradley's romantic potential, so I've decided to bring them together before the new season shows otherwise. Please keep in mind that I've made certain inferences based on the season 2 trailer that may not be accurate to the series, but I hope they are true to the characters.

As Cory Ellison, Bradley Jackson, and Charlie Black plan a hostile takeover against Fred Micklen at UBA, Cory does as much as he can to keep the blood on his hands to a minimum. What is he willing to do to protect the one person he cares for? (completed!)
