    Summary

    Erling's palms itched the whole match, it felt like. Hard not to when his body remembers what it meant when Jude used to score for Dortmund, every silly bet they'd made over stat lines. Aside from that, the only things that penetrated the oppressive humidity of July in Miami were the spikes of adrenaline as the tides of the match shifted and the sickening wrongness when Erling pulled something ten minutes into the second half.

    Summary

    Jude is a master at keeping his head down, surviving the pressure, and treating Dortmund like a temporary layover. But a breakdown in an empty locker room exposes the raw edges he tries so hard to hide—and puts him directly in the orbit of Erling Haaland.

    A story about high pressure, quiet flats, and the sudden, terrifying intimacy of being truly seen by the last person you expected.

    Summary

    They were supposed to slowly, imperceptibly drift apart.

    They weren’t supposed to meet in the quarter finals of the World Cup with the entire world obsessed over the history of their friendship. And Jude certainly wasn’t supposed to let all that get to him, let all the noise disturb the perfectly assembled facade he’d had in place for years now.

    He was so fucking stupid.

    And now he’s sitting here drowning in every bad decision he’s made, and the worst part, the worst part, is the one person he knows could haul him back to dry land is the one who had unmoored him to begin with.

    OR

    An encounter in the locker room after the quarter finals leads to Jude running away, Erling chasing after him, and the soft beginnings of something new.
