As the captain of the Briar U women's hockey team, Evangeline Maywell has her entire life mapped out. With professional PWHL scouts tracking her every shift and a brutal training schedule, she is entirely locked in, perfectly content with knowing everyone on campus but keeping her real circle fiercely small and distraction-free. But during a high-stakes Friday night home game, everything shifts. Standing by the glass is a certain hockey player who shares her number and title of captain, usually commands his own headlines, and the moment their eyes lock through the plexiglass mid-play, the absolute focus she prided herself on hit a massive speed bump. For the first time all season, Eva finds herself looking for a face in the crowd between shifts, realizing that the walls she built to protect her future might not be as strong as she thought.

Mira Singhania crossed an ocean to chase a championship. She never expected to find a home instead. Briar University was supposed to be simple: train, study, graduate, leave. Then she met Dean Di Laurentis, who somehow became the safest part of her day. Falling in love wasn't part of the plan. Neither was a hockey house that never seemed to sleep, a kitchen that was always occupied, friendships that became family, and a cat who was convinced he ran the place. Between tournaments, late-night kitchen disasters, road trips, and the quiet moments that matter most, Mira discovers that healing isn't something you do alone. Some love stories begin with fireworks. Theirs begins with friendship. And somewhere between laughter, loyalty, and countless ordinary moments, those little moments become everything.

Gia Graham has spent her whole life being reminded by her father of her biggest failure: she's not Garrett. She grew up in the shadow of her brother, Garrett Graham-the golden boy on the ice and the main target of their father's rage. The bruises landed on him, not her, and Gia learned early that being spared the hit still leaves scars. Enter Dean Di Laurentis: Briar hockey star, Garrett's best friend and housemate, and the one guy who has been orbiting Gia's life long enough to be dangerous. To everyone else, he's charm and trouble. To Gia, he's off-limits-for about a hundred reasons, starting with her overprotective brother and ending with the way Dean looks at her like he can see straight through the act. Caught between loyalty, old wounds, and a boy who refuses to let her hide, Gia has to decide if she'll stay safely invisible...or risk everything to finally be seen.

"we can't be anything serious okay?" "don't worry our little secret"

|| 𝐎𝐅𝐅 𝐂𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐔𝐒 - "I don't care how complicated this gets, I still want you." Anastasia Graham never really had space for anything that didn't fit into a schedule. Skating, studying, training, repeat. That was her life at Briar University, carefully structured and tightly controlled, because if she let anything slip into the gaps, everything else starts to wobble. She doesn't do distractions. She doesn't do "figuring things out." And she definitely doesn't do boys. Especially not the kind who smile like they already know how the story ends. Dean Di Laurentis is exactly that kind of problem. Her brother's best friend. A hockey player. Infuriatingly confident, effortlessly charming, and the kind of guy who never seems to take anything seriously until you realize he's somehow good at everything anyway. Anastasia had known of him forever, seen him around campus and in his and Garrett's shared home, always assuming he was just another cocky athlete who thrived on attention. She was wrong. It started as nothing, just passing moments she didn't think twice about, until one night it wasn't nothing anymore. One conversation that ran longer than it should have. One look that lingered too long. One version of him that didn't feel like the loud, careless hockey player everyone else saw. It was something that noticed her in a way she wasn't used to being noticed. After that, things didn't stay simple. Because suddenly it wasn't just skating and school anymore. It was skating, school, and Dean, quietly, annoyingly, taking up space in her head she didn't have to give. And with her most important figure skating performance coming up, the timing couldn't have been worse. Or more dangerous. fem!oc x Dean Di Laurentis 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔- @avaawritesz frozen desires - Dean Di Laurentis
