Noah plays like the ice was made for him - calm, controlled, unreadable. Elliot plays like the world owes him something - sharp edges, quick temper, fire under his skin. They're rivals. Different teams. Different reputations. Different ways of surviving. But one reckless hit, one look held a second too long, and suddenly the line between enemy and something else starts to blur. Off the ice, it's supposed to be simple. Casual. No feelings. No risks. Except Elliot is the one who keeps showing up. And Noah is the one who never runs. As cameras catch stolen moments and the hockey world starts asking questions, their secret stops being theirs. Love doesn't just threaten their careers - it forces them to face the parts of themselves they've spent years hiding. Because under the rink lights, everything is visible. And some things are worth the fall. [Mature themes] [Completed]

Popular, athletic, and effortlessly charming, he's the guy people expect to succeed... even if his grades say otherwise.

So when the school pairs them for tutoring, neither of them is thrilled. Levi thinks Dakota's a know-it-all. Dakota thinks Levi's a lost cause. But forced afternoons turn into inside jokes. Shared secrets slip through the cracks. And somewhere between late-night study sessions and unexpected sparks, Levi starts noticing things he shouldn't-like the way Dakota smiles when he forgets to hide it. Just when things feel almost right, a mistake shatters everything. Harsh words. Betrayal. Bad blood. And suddenly they're strangers again - hurt, angry, and pretending they never cared.

[bxb] Luke had always suspected that he was gay. There's a very big difference, however, between thinking you 𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 be gay, and having a pretty boy naked and underneath you in the backseat of his car. *+*❅*+* Lucas Donovan had always kept his life on a tight leash. Between high school, hockey, and helping take care of his family, there was scarcely room for romance-not that Luke minded. Girls seemed too complicated, too messy, and too damn stressful when they came with any intention beyond quick, drunk sex. The "spark" was all fairytale bullshit, anyways... or so Luke believed. It was funny, really. All it took to change Luke's mind was getting laid in the backseat of the car of a boy with big, blue eyes shrouded in an even bigger mystery. *+*❅*+* Rankings: #1 friendswithbenefits #1 comingout #2 skating #4 boyxboy #8 bisexual #7 ice #22 gay *+*❅*+* Cover Photo: Kelli Clintock Cover Design: tragicvenus

[BxB] Waking up next to someone after having a little too much to drink was no new, riveting story in this day and age. Waking up next to another boy, when you were also a boy, was a little more interesting, but still nothing to write home about. But waking up in Nico Beckett's sheets? To Wesley, it was a nightmare come to life. ~~~ Wesley Dillon's life was uneventful, and frankly, he liked it that way. He didn't get into trouble, he kept his grades up, he played it safe. He never did anything to rock the boat he was floating in, the calm waters of his lake left undisturbed. Now starting his last year in high school, Wes was content to continue living his life as he always has - but sometimes, and only sometimes, he caught himself wishing that something could make ripples in his tiny world. What he wasn't ready for were the waves that were Nico Beckett - a troublemaker, womaniser, and an incredibly popular boy at his school. He was everything Wes was not. Nico was the type of guy that Wes never wanted to associate with, but after waking up in his arms with panic in his chest and pains everywhere else, he realised that his life was going to get much, much more complicated. It took him everything to try not to drown as the waves pulled him further and further down. But, somewhere along the way, he wasn't sure that drowning was actually a bad thing. ~~~ #1 in romance (29/09/19) #1 in LGBT (07/09/2019) #1 in bxb (07/09/2019) #1 in boyxboy (08/09/2019) #1 in gay (11/09/2019) #1 in highschool (29/09/19) #1 in school (17/10/19) #1 in comingofage (01/10/19) #1 in slowburn (02/10/19) #1 in BL (04/10/19) #1 in lovetriangle (05/10/19) #1 in family (31/10/19) #1 in comingoutofthecloset (08/01/20) #1 in writtenwithpride (19/06/21) #4 in love (07/03/21)
