She swore she'd never skate again, but the ice has a way of pulling you back-especially when the town's hockey star is watching. When Calliope Brooks loses her mother, her life is turned upside down. Forced to leave behind the familiarity of her old world, she moves to the small town of Lakehurst to live with her estranged father, the coach of the local boys' hockey team, the Lakehurst Sirens. Once a promising figure skater, Calliope has sworn off the ice-until a chance encounter with Grayson Maverick, the Sirens' star player and school heartthrob, ignites something she thought she'd lost. As Calliope finds herself drawn back to the rink, she's thrust into the chaotic, competitive world of hockey. Navigating budding friendships, lingering grief, and her growing feelings for Grayson, Calliope discovers that sometimes the only way to move forward is to embrace what makes you whole-on and off the ice. But as she steps into a role no one expected, Calliope must prove she has what it takes to be more than a fragile figurine-and face the pressures of skating with, and against, the boys who dominate the game. #1 icehockey (19th May 2025) #1 hockey (13th April 2025) #1 figureskating (20th April 2025) #1 coachesdaughter (20th April 2025) #2 greif (20th April 2025)

Temptation has an uncanny resemblance to Leon Collin's • • • She was supposed to leave him behind. Instead, he followed her home-with a grin and a proposition she can't refuse. • • • Leon and Charlottes story (can be read as a standalone but is part of a series - read sinful liabilities first if you want to) • • • Leon Collins has an uncanny resemblance to temptation - and Charlotte Hudson knows better than to touch it twice. As maid of honour to her best friend and sister-in-law-to-be, Charlotte's only job is to keep the wedding week flawless. But that's easier said than done when the best man is Leon: her brother's best friend, her best friend's brother, and the one mistake she swore she'd never make again. They danced too close once - too drunk, too messy, too young, and far too unforgettable. Now they're walking down the aisle together, tension simmering under every glance, every brush of skin, every drunken confession that never should've left her lips. When the week ends, Charlotte thinks she's leaving the past - and him behind for good. She's wrong. Because Leon Collins just got traded to her new team. Now he's in her office, in her space, and in her head - all charm, smirks, and a proposition that shouldn't sound as tempting as it does. One rule. No feelings. Just a physical arrangement to burn off the heat neither of them can seem to ignore. But desire this dangerous doesn't play by the rules. And the closer Charlotte gets to Leon, the more her carefully built walls begin to crack. She promised herself she'd never fall for him again. But Leon Collins has always been the one risk she can't resist.

Her world is vibrant, filled with butterflies and the unwavering love of a father who supports her every dream. But one day, everything shatters. With no one to turn to, she's left with only one person who understands her pain- the one she despises most. Will this be the start of a new world for Addie? Or was betrayal inevitable all along? - He tenses, eyes flashing, but he doesn't fight back right away. Instead, he leans in slightly, lowering his voice just enough that only I can hear. "Easy, sweetheart," he murmurs. "At least let me buy you dinner before you try to kill me." I tighten my grip on his shirt and jerk him forward-not enough to actually hurt, just enough to keep up the illusion. "Shut up and make this convincing," I mutter. He grins, a devilish glint in his eye. "Oh, I plan to." - (forced proximity trope) (enemies to lovers trope) (best friend's brother trope) 😘 started writing: October 8 2024 ended writing: March 12 2025 *RATED MATURELY BECAUSE OF VIOLENCE* *COMPLETE* 🥇 rosecameron (03-10-25) (03-06-26) 🥇 enemiestolovers (03-27-25) 🥇 cleoanderson (04-09-25) (05-22-25) (07-05-25) 🥇 cameron (05-01-25) (07-04-25) 🥇 wardcameron (06-14-25) 🥇 obx (07-20-25) 🥇 p4l (02-19-26) (05-09-26) 🥇 johnbroutledge (03-10-26)

Charlotte's past might be filled with scars, but she's never let it define her. A military nurse on the frontlines, she's headstrong, unwavering, and determined to prove herself in a world where weakness is a luxury she can't afford. Beneath her tough exterior lies a woman with a heart that still knows how to care, even when the darkness around her threatens to swallow it whole. But there's one man who sees more than just the soldier in her-Commander Archer Valer. Cold, calculated, and ruthless, Archer has been watching Charlotte from the moment she set foot on his base. His obsession with her has festered in silence, hidden beneath layers of discipline and control, until it becomes something he can no longer deny. To him, she's the perfect woman-a saint in a world of sinners. His saint. And no one, not even the men who try to twist her into their hands, will ever have her. Those who think they can corrupt Charlotte end up disappearing without a trace, their bodies rotting in the dark corners of the world, where only Archer's twisted love can find them.

A Bradley Simpson x OC Story **SMUTS** Joe manages the band The Vamps, and he decides to bring in an assistant after their 2 year break - his niece, Luka. When she turns up at their house as their new assistant, they are completely blindsighted, and Brad in particular doesn't like the new arrangement. Will he learn to live with her? Will he learn to like her? ----------------------------- "I mean.." he whispered, a stark contrast to the loud anger that was just in the room, as he thought about his next words carefully. "Maybe someone in this house didn't like the idea of you leaving with another guy, because... because they wanted you to leave with them." She felt her body grow hot as she looked at him. "Brad.." She said quietly as he just stared at her, his eyes vulnerable but his body standing tense in front of her. "Are...what are you saying?" "I.." He breathed in deeply, then he just thought, fuck it. This was his shot. Standing alone in a room together, just admitting that he wanted to be with her, if she was going to reject him, might as well be now. Might as well be in style. ----------------------------- #1 in bradsimpson #2 in thevampsimagines #4 in bradleysimpson #1 in thevampsband #1 in thevamps #1 in bradsimpsonsmut #1 in bradleywillsimpson

I had been second best all my life. But this time, when it comes to her, I'm not willing to accept defeat. I'll do whatever it takes to get her to choose me. *** Having a best friend that was wildly popular, and one of the best hockey players in the United American Hockey League, was both a curse and a blessing. On the plus side, I got to play hockey with my best friend, and there was never a shortage of beautiful girls. At least there wasn't until Nash decided to man up and tell his childhood friend that he'd always loved her. The bad part was that I usually ended up being second best. In my late teens and early twenties I hadn't cared that I wasn't picked in the first round of the draft, or that sponsors chose Nash ahead of me, or even if I ended up with a girl who didn't really want me for me. I made a nice living playing hockey. I had a few good friends and a nice place to live in the middle of Manhattan. Despite not being the best, I'd made most of my dreams come true and it was a far stretch from the lonely kid I'd been growing up in the rural Midwest. I was happy. I was content. Until her.... It's not like I didn't want what Nash had. I did. I do. Who doesn't want a happily ever after? It's just that I've never taken the risk and allowed a woman to see past my defenses before, to see the real me, with my baggage and all my insecurities... until now. As scary as that is in itself, what makes it complicated is that my new roommate, Jackson - who I offered my spare bedroom to a while back when he needed a place to stay - and Bryce - one of my friends and teammates- also seem to have an interest in her... the woman who has me questioning all my decisions. The thing is... I'm pretty sure I'm not willing to be a second choice this time around...

~"When are you going to do what's best for you Sadie? All you ever do is what's best for Hallie and push your own wants and needs to the bottom of the pile and let it hurt everyone else in the process."~ Sadie Taylor has been back in her hometown for 6 short months. After leaving 11 years ago, it's fair to say that her life now is a 180 spin on the free innocent teenager she left as. With her 9 year old daughter, Hallie, in toe, Sadie needs to find a new kind of normality where se can release the reins of control and learn to let go a little. She's more than happy taking things at her own pace. Hoping that if she moves slow enough, she can keep her and her daughter in their own little bubble that has kept them safe all these years. But with the arrival of a familiar stranger arriving at Black Oak Ranch, things are set to be more complicated than she'd been counting on. Ryder Matthews fucked up and he knows it. 11 years ago, he left the love of his lie in some pre-college life freak out and when he returned 3 years later, she was gone. After spending the better part of 14 months travelling the world in hopes of finding some kind of meaning to life outside of the little town where every turn is a burning memory of Sadie, he returns with no hope. He's stuck to deal with his consequences. A week after his return home, Ryder heads to Jack Taylor's ranch to get his old farm hand job back. When he steps out of the car, a 9 year old girl greets him and when her mom comes to see what the fuss is all about, he's met with the last person he thought he'd ever see back in Alcombey. Let alone with a child. Ryder and Sadie have a lot of baggage to unpack if they have any hope of being able to tolerate working together. But when his heart is still beating for her and her heart is locked behind solid concrete walls, is that even possible?
