When a suburban Black girl meets a hard life Hispanic boy.

Stella Thompson is like any other freshmen in college - trying to adjust to being away from home, fit in, and do well in school. One thing that's different with Stella though is her brother, Robbie - New York Rangers rookie and the "next big thing" in the NHL. After growing up around cocky hockey boys, she told herself she never wanted to be with one...until she meets Fraser. Maybe not all hockey players were bad, right? Likely to be slow to update!! I do not own the rights to any NHL teams or players. I do however own the rights to made up characters such as Stella, her brother, etc. Enjoy!! #7 in hockey 4/07/26

teammate's sister secret relationship dark past dual pov instagram + real life Olivia Knight has already built a life in Chicago by the time her brother is traded to the Blackhawks. At twenty-three, she's disciplined, private, and deeply focused on her law school internship-someone who keeps her world small because it feels safer that way, despite the constant stream of word vomit swarming in her head. When Spencer moves in, the life she's carefully controlled begins to expand whether she wants it to or not. Connor Bedard is part of that expansion. Younger, sharp, and disarmingly open, he notices the things Olivia doesn't volunteer-the way she avoids certain questions, the tension she carries, the boundaries she never explains. What starts as shared space and quiet conversations turns into something slower, built on trust rather than urgency.

Quinn Taylor has made a career out of looking calm. On the ice, she's America's favorite kind of pressure-proof-bright smile, steady answers, the skater everyone wants to root for. Off the ice, she's an only child with a perfectionist's brain and a habit of carrying too much alone. The cameras love her. The country expects her. And the one place she can't afford to fall apart is the one place she's dreamed of since she was little. The Olympics. Macklin Celebrini has always made things feel lighter. He was the new kid at a Northern California rink at twelve-Canadian, polite, a little lost-until Quinn decided he was hers to keep. He became her best friend in the cold air and early mornings, the person who could make her laugh mid-breakdown and never ask her to perform for him. Then life did what life does: seasons changed, schedules got brutal, distance widened, and the kind of friendship that felt unbreakable turned into occasional texts and quiet missing. Now they're both back where the world is loudest. At the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, Quinn is chasing the skate of her life for Team USA. Mack is carrying his own weight for Team Canada hockey. When reporters find out they grew up together, the story writes itself-childhood friends reunited, smiles caught on camera, a thousand strangers deciding what they are to each other. The only problem is... the strangers aren't entirely wrong. Between past chapters at a small California rink and present days in the Olympic Village, Quinn and Mack have to figure out what they really meant to each other then-and what they're allowed to be now, with medals on the line and the whole world watching. Because it's one thing to love someone quietly from a distance. It's another to have them show up in your life again and make everything feel possible.

(Hockey x Swim Romance) 'I'm six-foot-three. I'm the starting goalie. I'm hot, I'm emotionally available, and I recycle.That should be enough right? Fox, tell my future wife I tried.' Cole Murray is the golden boy of the hockey team-a Golden Retriever in human form-but he has one massive problem: Jules. Jules is the newest addition to the swim team -a slender, caramel-skinned genius who looks like she walked out of an epic fantasy novel. She has the emotional awareness of a tree; not quite nothing, but certainly not enough to realize that the most popular guy on campus is currently spiraling because of her. To Jules, Cole is just... Cole. The guy who brings her coffee before morning practice. The friend she sits with in the library for hours, while she watches him struggle through Statistics. He's the loud, sun-kissed Canadian who gives the best hugs and cheers the loudest for her at every meet. Safe. Steady. Easy. Friendship. Right? The hockey team is exhausted. The swim team is taking bets. And Cole Miller is about to find out if 'Safe and Steady' is enough to break through the laws of Physics-or if he is risking his heart. Slow burn, lots of chaos, and a bit of spice later on. You don't need to read the spicy scenes to follow the story 💙

I want you to want me again... is it desire? - Olly Alexander "They were each other's first everything. First love. First heartbreak. First person they could never forget. But distance never really erased what they had. Because some people aren't meant to be forgotten."

A heart murmur is the secret sound beneath the steady rhythm - the quiet confession the heart makes when it can no longer beat in silence. Not loud enough to alarm, but impossible to ignore once heard.
