Breakaway Series - E. L. Massey

AO3 Name: taken_aback_by_Tuesdays

Letter

I'm requesting Eli, he's Black and Latino, grew up gay in Alabama. This is when he's in college (in Texas).

Title: Breakaway Series - E. L. Massey

Approx length: 400 pages per book (can read just the first two for Eli)

What is it, in summary?: A M/M romance between a disabled, POC figure skater (Eli) and a hockey player. It started life as a Kent Parson Check Please fanfic but quickly grew it's cast of original characters (and the Kent character changed enough) that it got rebranded as original fiction.

What do you love about it?: A flawed character trying to be better and a disabled character getting to be grumpy about things that are difficult for him.

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: fic focused on Eli: his cooking video channel, hanging out with the hockey team, playing video games with his boyfriend.

Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?: Like Real People Do (the first book) introduces the characters and gives a good sense for who they are.

Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence):
Seizures and hockey injuries.
