At twenty‑two, Sadie Ross is learning that adulthood doesn't come with a playbook. Between buying a new house, juggling a full‑time job, and supporting the two partners she loves, she's suddenly responsible for more than just herself. As life gets busier and choices get heavier, Sadie realizes she can't coast on instinct anymore. Growing up means stepping up for her future, her career, and the people who've stood beside her through every season.

Heated Rivarly AU x OC! Riley Skowronski's life ends in front of a sold-out stadium. It happens quietly, with a misstep no one expects and a fall that erases years of perfection in an instant. Injured, displaced, and no longer welcome on the ice that made him famous, Riley is forced into a world that doesn't know what to do with someone like him-and a future he didn't plan for. Set against the backdrop of elite hockey, old rivalries, and relationships that always seem to belong to someone else, Riley's story is not about winning. It's about surviving the loss of a dream, learning to live in the aftermath, and discovering whether love can exist without being chosen first.

At 17 years old Sadie Ross decides its time for her to think about her future. Sadie has always had a passion for helping people, so what better way than for her to start an internship with the Montreal Metros. Not only does the internship spark a love for hockey but for two star hockey players on the ice.

Two hockey rivals. One tiny girl. Zero chill. When MHL enemies-to-lovers legends Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov become dads to Lillian Jane Rozanov-Hollander, they assume one thing: She's going to dominate hockey. Obviously. Before she can hold her own head up, she has custom skates. Before she can talk, they're arguing whether she'll represent Canada or Russia. (USA was eliminated immediately.) Every milestone becomes a competition. Every smile is contested. Every nap is tactical. But Lili has other plans. Instead of slapshots and body checks, she falls in love with edges, music, and ice dance. Now Shane is memorizing figure skating scoring breakdowns at 3AM. Ilya is screaming in the stands about artistry and insisting she "cannot be boring like Dada." And both of them are learning that raising a daughter might be harder than winning a championship. This is a story about: • competitive dads who love too hard • tiny skates and big drama • locker room chaos • rink-side arguments • international identity crises • and one girl who was never going to be ordinary Because she didn't grow up in a rivalry. She was born in one. And she's about to rewrite it.

As a biochemical engineer working for the U.S. military, life gets complicated, so you impulsively ran away to a secluded cabin on a lake just outside of Ottawa for a few weeks' solitude. Yet, your self-imposed exile is short lived when you meet your two neighbors on the lake, professional hockey players Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov - you don't know the first thing about hockey, so you have no idea who they are, something that seems to entertain, intrigue and irritate them all at once. One thing you know to be true is every action has consequences, even if the action was unintentional on your part. Irrevocably you got both men's attention and the resolution that is a core personality trait they share will not allow them to let this go regardless of the consequences that will come of it. Shane and Ilya have constantly struggled to keep their need for dominance that borders on the animalistic and depraved - at bay for almost a decade. Willingly choosing to become entangled with Hollander and Rozanov and submitting to their chaos and control, is an insane choice to endure.

As fate would it have it, Valentine Carter, River Fabiano and Slater Hayashi are looking to take on an employee in their bakery, whilst they practice their... extra-curricular activities... Sweet Romani thinks she's walking into a simple job of cakes and cookies, but she fails to predict the web of obsession, lust and love she's getting herself tangled in.

He must have heard it wrong because the adjective could be paired with an endless list of nouns. Perhaps it is his unfamiliarity with the complement that befuddles his vocabulary and understanding. However, there are only so many excuses he can tell himself when Shane Hollander repeats the words to him with an accompanying touch. "Good boy." Nathan Knight carries the last banner of his family name. No Knight has failed to hang their name among the stars of the Major League of Hockey. But his father seems to think that if anyone with his blood could bring shame, it would be him. Even when the world shouts his name, as loud as their need for oxygen - he will never be good enough. The hunger he has for acknowledgement and validation is a bottomless pit. Who would've thought that this appetite would shift from a child's awaiting eyes for a father's love to a young man's suppressed urge for his lovers' affection. At some point in this chase for familial pride, he would simply, "Wanna be yours." Shane Hollander x Ilya Rozanov x Male!OC Throuple/Triad
