✧ ✧ ✧

NEW CHAPTER ALERT! Tournament Day One is complete, but the real game is just beginning. Watch as our favorite rivals discover that some matches aren't played on screen, and certain victories mean more than trophies.

chapter 16: the fallout

"By evening, both their phones had effectively melted down. Regulus stared at his dark streaming setup, still wearing Potter's jersey. His neck ached in ways that would be impossible to hide on camera. His perfectly curated aesthetic was in shambles.
