After his failed attempt at an Olympic victory, Ilia Malinin starts talking to Audrey to help him with his panic attacks after his teammate Isabeau tells him about her. She doesn't know anything about figure skating, even though Isabeau Levito is her childhood best friend. But she's the reason he comes back better than ever, ready for redemption. Everybody's wondering who's the girl that Ilia's smiling at after he delivers his perfect performance at World's. It's Audrey.

Lilith Sinclair, a shy, quiet, and softspoken figure skater takes to the rink as a debut Olympian. Her clean and heart-wavering twists and turns have everyone shocked and surprised. Even though her lips are unmoving, her moves are breathtaking. Glass-shattering. She's as delicate as a dove. Ilia Malinin, world champion. Talented, outspoken, a dare devil at heart. The world's known Quad God, and the only person to land a Quad Axel in competition. He cleans the rink with ease and has every eye on his own. What happens, though, when two completely different personalities happen to be sharing the only room that's left in the Olympic village, and rumors begin to spread that perhaps, they're destined for each other. One quiet introvert and one caring extrovert begin to bond as they fight through the rumors of cheating scandals, losses on the ice, and, most importantly, the rumor that just might come true in the end.

Hailey Thomas is twenty-two years old. She works at a small independent bookstore tucked into a quiet corner of the city. Her life is intentionally simple and safe. Her world is small and she likes it that way. Until it isn't so small anymore.

Ilia Malinin is used to being untouchable. The Quad God. The prodigy. The skater no one beats. Until Lilia Kovalenko steps onto the ice. Quiet. Unpredictable. Dangerous in a way no one expects. The media calls her the only skater capable of challenging him, and suddenly every competition becomes a battle. Every headline becomes a comparison. They're rivals from the moment they meet. But the closer the Olympic season gets, the more impossible it becomes to ignore the tension between them. Late night practices turn into quiet conversations. Arguments turn into something neither of them planned. Because falling on the ice is easy. Falling for your biggest rival? That might destroy everything.

"Don't talk about her like she's some problem I have to solve. Maddie's the reason I ever fell in love with this sport. Before the medals. Before the cameras. Without her, it's just ice." They grew up on the same rink. Madeline loved this from the moment she could walk on her own, however Ilia did not, it was just something his parents expected him to do. He only keep showing up because she was there - constant racing across the empty ice, daring each other for one more jump and ending up falling onto the flat surface. He never planned to skate professionally. Not until he was fourteen. Not until he realized the only place he felt free was beside her. Years pass by, and under the pressure and weight of their talent both of the kids are making it to the USA team, beating records and representing their homeland. As the 2026 Winter Olympics approach, pressure threatens to pull them apart. But when everything is on the line, Ilia has to decide what matters more: the gold medal he chased for years... or the girl who made him fall in love with the ice in the first place.

They are both known as gods on the ice, but they're still just people. Ilia Malini x OC

August Carter is not a skater. She's not in Milan to watch the olympics. She's not like any girl Ilia has ever dated; not graceful, not cold, not even particularly polite. To make matters worse, she's never even heard of him. But maybe that's the kind of person he needs. ⋆｡°✩ or; Ilia finds a place of safety in a small café with an aspiring singer, and keeps coming back.

When she happens to meet a blond man on the street, she never expected their destinies to be so intertwined as to come together more than she ever thought possible. ------- Have you ever been the ignorant friend? Yes, that one that isn't update or doesn't even follow new trends. That kind of person. Well, that's the exact description of Eleanor. She is be the typical girl who knows the entire dialogue of a movie or the one who would prefer to read rather than talk about some real, handsome and famous guy. Don't misundestand her, she's loves to socialize, just doesn't understand how people could be so obsessed with some guy they don't even know. Well, maybe that guy will change her perspective, and perhaps her entire view, of himself and why people loves him. Maybe he won't be able to stay with her, maybe they will break apart. Who knows? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I'm Malinin" "Well, see you around, Malinin" "Wait! You haven't said your name" "Oh, silly me. I'm Eleanor" "And-" "I really need to go now, 'till next time, Malinin!" -------------------------------------------------------------------------- So, I really love the way Ilia skates, it's just so wonderful. This is for all those persons whose heart needs this kind of story. Also, English is NOT my first language sooooooooo... There will be mistakes. I would be very grateful if you told me, thank you. ☺☺

A story in which Liviana hates Ilia Malinin and a certain blonde makes a bet on Liv's feelings... What happens when feelings become real? What happens when hate turns into something else?
