**Author's Note: This is the first rough draft so please be kind, but feel free to read, comment, and share! Thank you!** Invisibility kept Landon Walker alive. It never made him happy. As the Blackridge Axemen's media assistant, Landon knows how to stay quiet, stay useful, stay small. Especially when hiding behind the team captain he calls his boyfriend. Then a new goaltender arrives. Calm. Steady. Watching. Caught between love that hurts and a presence that feels like safety, Landon must decide if disappearing is worth the cost. Because invisibility may protect you, but it will never bring you home.
