    Summary

    Magnus Carlsen is a professional volleyball star who just wanted a night off after a brutal week of games. Hikaru Nakamura is a famously intense solo violinist who didn’t even want to perform that evening. One chaotic concert, a one-night stand, and a stolen breakfast later, they’re in each other’s orbit—and neither of them is ready to leave.

    What starts as a fling turns into something deeper: a quiet, growing love born out of late-night conversations, competitive teasing, and the softness of shared mornings. Over the years, they build a life out of concerts and matches, chaos and peace, and the sheer ridiculous joy of having found each other at the exact moment they needed it most.

    Neither of them believes in fate.
    But they do believe in second anniversaries, burnt eggs, and the way Hikaru’s hand fits perfectly on Magnus’ hip.

    Or:
    That one time Ian Nepomniachtchi accidentally changed Magnus’ entire life by dragging him to a concert—and he’s still laughing about it.

As he navigates the complexities of this new family dynamic, Alireza learns what it truly means to belong, to be cared for, and to forge his own path. But some things, like unexpected confrontations and public reveals, come with a price. In the world of grandmasters, family can be just as unexpected as the game itself.

    Summary

    The story he told Daniil was slightly modified. They weren’t in Germany when it happened. He wasn’t drunk at the time; he’d only had one beer, and was barely tipsy. And finally, the reason why he regretted it, and will regret it for the rest of his life, is because now he knows.

    He knows what it’s like, and he can never have it again.

    or, the one where magnus puts everything on the line for some chili willy.
