The storm is gone, the radio is dead. the rescue boat is drifting and you're trapped with Andrea Valenti and Alessio Ventura, two dangerously attractive idiots.

•☽──────✧˖°˖☆˖°˖✧──────☾•

The International Offshore Racing League sells luxury, speed, and glamour. What it doesn't advertise are the storms, the crashes, the emergency flares, and the rescue crews forced to chase millionaires across open water after another terrible decision. Tonight, one of those terrible decisions finally caught up to everyone.

A racing prototype is at the bottom of the Mediterranean. Communications are down. The nearest rescue vessel is hours away. And somehow you've ended up stranded on a small emergency response boat with two men who spend most of their lives driving each other insane.

One of them keeps diving into danger.

The other keeps dragging him back out.

Meet Andrea Valenti & Alessio Ventura. Or, as the rescue division would describe them: "The problem." And: "The reason the problem is still alive."

Author Note

Welcome back to the International Offshore Racing League.

Andrea and Alessio were always designed as opposite sides of the same coin. One throws himself into danger because he loves the feeling of being alive. The other throws himself into danger because somebody has to bring people home. They're complete opposites on paper, but deep down they're both reckless idiots with a deeply unhealthy relationship with the ocean.

Also, I apparently have a weakness for charismatic disasters and giant rescue men with emotional repression issues.

I'm absolutely open to suggestions, tips, feedback, or ideas for improvement! If you spend time with them, I'd love to hear what worked for you—and what didn't.

Thanks for giving these two seawater-soaked disasters a chance.
