It's the playoffs. It's do or die. Quinn Hughes is living with the weight of the world on his shoulders. It's his first year as captain and he has managed the incredible feat of leading his team all the way to the playoffs. The pressure he is feeling is insurmountable. On one hand he wants to go all the way, needs to get to the top not only for his team but for the honor of raising the Stanley cup above his head. On the other hand he has to do it, he has no choice but to grind and grind with the only goal of proving people wrong. It's not a dream, it's a necessity. He's young, he knows. He makes mistakes, he knows but at the end of the day the most important thing is that Quinn Hughes knows he has what it takes to make it to the highest level. To win the hardest trophy in every sport, and if he doesn't win he might just loose himself in the process. Quinn is drowning in the pressure, in the expectations, and the sheer desperation to win. He's at his breaking point, teetering over the edge of his lowest low. In enters Elsie Hartley, Quinn's newly appointed assistant. It's her job to follow him everywhere and surprisingly Quinn doesn't seem to mind. Her presence is a life force. A light in the darkness. In a twist of events Elsie is the reason Quinn is able to make it to the top. She helps shoulder some of the weight, eases the suffocating pressure and believes in him so deeply it causes him to believe in himself, in his team, and their ability to win. And of course, they do just that. Winning the Stanley Cup is supposed to be his biggest achievement, it's supposed to be the only thing he can focus on, but lately his mind is wandering to a certain red haired, blue eyed assistant who without realizing it just made all his dreams come true. Now, he's got another goal in mind. One more thing he has to win, the heart of that same assistant.

TATE BRIDGERS would have done anything if it meant her long term crush would like her back. QUINN HUGHES was always worried about anyone other than himself. The pair were destined for destruction the day Luke introduced the two. Can a summer save them? Quinn x fem

She's learning to trust again after years of being torn down. He's still piecing himself together after betrayal. Letting someone in was never part of the plan... until it started to feel like the only way out. Maybe together is where healing begins. Or they might fall apart trying.

Our secret moments in a crowded room They got no idea about me and you There is an indentation in the shape of you Made your mark on me, a golden tattoo - Dress by Taylor Swift ----- When Lydia Joanne Rivers moved into her sleek new apartment in Monaco, the last thing she expected was to end up in a screaming match with her next-door neighbor-who also happens to be Max Verstappen, Formula 1's most ruthless driver and international sex symbol. He's cold, clipped, and infuriatingly smug. She's fire and fury in red lipstick, a rising star stylist for Chanel who doesn't back down. Their first encounter ends in slammed doors and shouted obscenities. Their second? Even worse. But the tension between them simmers beneath every stare, every insult, every accidental brush of skin in the elevator. And when tempers flare, so does the heat-intense, electric, and impossible to ignore. He's too old for her. She's too complicated for him. They can't stand each other- and they can't stop thinking about each other. In a city built on secrets and speed, the line between hate and desire blurs fast. And one wrong move might just leave them both breathless. Enemies, neighbors, lovers... eventually. Max Verstappen x FemOc racing driver x stylist

"I never asked for this." Her voice was steady, but her hands curled into fists in her lap. "Neither did I." His reply was calm, almost bored-but his eyes didn't leave hers. They have the status. The ring. The home. The last name. Everything but Love. They were strangers with rings on their fingers. Bound by names, legacy, and expectations they never agreed to. Emilia Duval didn't want a marriage, and certainly not to the man with too much charm and too little sincerity. Charles Leclerc didn't need a wife who looked at him like he was a contract waiting to be broken. But in a world where image is everything, love is the one thing they never expected to find.

Max exhaled sharply, shaking his head as he sank onto the edge of the couch. "You scared everyone today, you know that?" Viktoriya blinked at him, caught off guard by the raw honesty in his voice. She hadn't expected him to say that. She hadn't expected him to care. "I'm fine," she said automatically, wrapping her arms around herself. Max's expression darkened. "You passed out on the fucking track, Viktoriya." She flinched slightly, but before she could respond, he continued. "I got out of my car ready to rip your head off for that crash," he admitted, voice lower now. "And then I saw you, just lying there, and I swear to God, I..." He trailed off, shaking his head as if the words physically refused to come out. Childhood friends to rivals to lovers Posting a chapter every day!
