Quiet girls don't get the basketball star. At least that's what she's convinced herself. Everyone at Duke knows her - the volleyball sophomore with nice curls, a perfect Instagram, and millions of followers who somehow still feel invisible. Pretty, polished, impossible to truly know. Then there's Cade Mercer. Duke basketball royalty. Future NBA star. Campus obsession. The kind of guy girls fall for instantly. And somehow? He keeps choosing her. Not the loud girls. Not the girls who seem perfectly confident. Her - the quiet girl who overthinks everything and refuses to believe a guy like him could actually mean it.

✧ pauses, then says "you're my best friend" and you knew what it was he is in love ✧ Maeve Hartley was a beautiful disaster. She had stars in her eyes and tripped over her feet, blurting out whatever thoughts popped into her little head and never taking life too seriously. Her messy, ADHD brain combined with her occasional bipolar episodes resulted in the highly medicated, walking, talking, giggling ball of sunshine that had taken up residence in the Briar hockey boy's house and hearts. But, when Maeve accidentally agrees to go on a date with someone who is not Garrett Graham, the boy finds himself agreeing to fake date Hannah Wells, neither realising (unlike everyone else around them) that they are, in love.

Chelsea Bangkok and Will Smith have always been "just us"-best friends before anything else, before the fame, before the pressure, before everything changed. Then Macklin Celebrini walks in. And suddenly, nothing feels simple anymore. What starts as friendship turns into something louder-something messier-something neither of them knows how to handle. The internet calls them a trio. The world calls it entertaining. But Chelsea just calls it her life falling into something she didn't plan for. And Macklin? He should know better than to get close. Because Chelsea only has one warning for him- "Tread lightly, hockey boy."

When Will Smith (hockey) falls in love with Y/N, single mom.

Eighteen-year-old Ava Hughes makes history as an NHL rookie with the Minnesota Wild, carrying a name everyone already knows and expectations no one says out loud. Macklin Celebrini is entering his second year in the league, where potential means nothing without proof. Two careers. Two timelines. One league that isn't built for either of them to fail. On the same ice, pressure collides-and nothing stays separate for long.

The world knows her face. No one knows her voice. Tessa McRae is famous for standing beside her sister. To the public, she is Tate McRae's shadow-her younger sister by ten months, her backup dancer on tour, her favorite model for magazine covers and music videos. Beautiful, poised, always in motion, always half a step out of frame. No one knows she used to write music. No one knows why she stopped. When Tate begins dating NHL star Jack Hughes in the middle of hockey season, Tessa follows her to New Jersey like she always does-protective, steady, invisible in the ways that matter. She doesn't expect to meet Luke Hughes. Jack's younger brother is quiet where the world is loud, gentle where fame is sharp. While Jack recovers from a freak injury and the season barrels forward without pause, Luke becomes an unexpected constant-text messages between flights, late-night calls after losses, small truths exchanged in the dark. What starts as friendship becomes something dangerous. Because Luke sees her. Not the model. Not the dancer. Not the sister. The girl who still hears songs in her bones. Every lyric she writes in secret feels like betrayal. Every feeling for Luke feels like crossing a line that can't be uncrossed. Because loving him doesn't just risk her heart. It risks her sister. Their fragile balance. The life Tessa rebuilt after her voice was taken from her. And when the music comes back louder than her fear, she must decide: remain the girl the world recognizes... or become the woman her heart has been writing all along. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ updating every sunday :)

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.
