Summary
“I am sorry for what must have happened,” Pedri told him, meaning it. “I am sorry for the choices you felt you needed to make.”
“You will make the same choice, too,” Lewy said. “For your career. For the Ballon d’Or campaign that I suspect must be about to launch for you. To protect your … friend. You do not know yet that you will make that choice. You are still debating. Unsure. But there will come a day, inevitably, that you choose yourself and your god-given talent. And I’m here to tell you that when that day comes … it is okay. When you make that choice, you will have doubts and regret. You may even regret it for the rest of your life. But a talent like yours is its own justification. You owe everything to the potential in yourself. Your football is your gift to the world. You are not required to burn the world down and sacrifice it.”
There, Pedri thought. That is the difference between us.
“But I am sure," Pedri said calmly, "and I would burn the world down for him."
Or, Ferran and Pedri's new relationship reminds Robert Lewandowski of the love he once sacrificed for football.

“Oh,” Dottore marvels, “oh. You are….”
Pantalone holds his breath, waits it out. “Who are you, my dear Pantalone?”
He rolls his tongue along his thumb, lets the flavor of his blood bloom in his mouth. “Vampire.”
Or, wherein Pantalone finds himself without a blood donor the week he is meant to feed. Drastic times call for drastic measures.

With more attention on the team than ever, rising tensions over the course of the season—both good and bad—start to hinder their communication on the ice and, in turn, their chances in the 2025 playoffs.

Summary
"Are you afraid of pain, Rudy?"
Rodolfo looked him up and down. Around Alejandro’s frame, the black seemed to inch closer, hugging him in its clench. He rolled his jaw and narrowed his shoulders. The fire painted his skin red.
"Of course, no?" It was an answer so simple. Obvious. We're only animals, aren't we?
"Do you want me to enlist?"
"Yes."
Burning eyes peered at him: "Why?"
Rodolfo felt the corner of his mouth twitch with it.
"Is there anybody else you'd go to war with, Lejan?"
"No," he immediately answered.
Rudy smiled, all teeth and spite. He reached out for his last glass and raised it above the flames.
“Me neither.”This is an Alerudy fic. The majority of this work has already been written. I will update regularly.
