It's about learning who to trust and what it means to feel something real for the first time.

I dont wanna keep secrets, just to keep you Riverdale S1 - S4 Sweet pea x Fem!oc @Storie1whore 2024

Olive Wells had one goal for the summer before senior year at Briar University: finally stop overthinking her life and start living it. At the top of her bucket list? Have sex. Simple enough. Or at least, it was supposed to be. But while filming a mini documentary on Briar's beloved hockey team, Olive finds herself pulled into the orbit of Dean Heyward-Di Laurentis, the team's golden boy, campus legend, and walking bad decision in designer clothes. He's cocky, charming, impossible to ignore, and very aware of the effect he has on every girl who looks his way. Dean doesn't do serious. Not after his clingy high school girlfriend made him swear off anything that came with expectations, feelings, or the terrifying phrase "where is this going?" Olive is supposed to be casual. Fun. Temporary. Except Olive Wells is nothing like he expected. She challenges him. Distracts him. Gets under his skin without even trying. And the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes for Dean to pretend she's just another summer fling. Olive only wanted to cross one thing off her list. Dean only wanted to keep things easy. But somewhere between stolen glances, late-night filming sessions, and lines they keep pretending not to cross, casual starts looking a lot like something real. Now the only question is who falls first... And who ends up falling harder.

Bonnie Heyward Di-Laurentis hates hockey. Unfortunately, she lives with four hockey players. While her twin brother, Dean, spends his time on the ice causing problems, Bonnie spends hers avoiding the loud, ego-driven chaos that comes with living at Briar University's unofficial hockey house. Especially John Logan. One of Briar's charming player has spent the last three years shamelessly flirting with her, pushing her buttons, and refusing to take the hint. Bonnie can't stand his cocky grin, his endless confidence, or the fact that he somehow always knows exactly how to get under her skin. Logan, meanwhile, thinks Bonnie hating him is the most entertaining thing that's ever happened to him. Living together was never supposed to be complicated. Then again, neither was falling for the one person you swore you'd never touch.

❝ Don't look at me like that. You have no idea what it's like to want someone so badly it feels like you're going insane. Just standing in the same room, watching you exist out of my reach, is pure agony. Put an end to it, Angel. Please, just take me out of my misery.❞ In which Briar University's most notorious womanizer, Dean Di Laurentis, falls into a hopeless obsession with Garrett Graham's best friend, fighting a desperate losing battle against a temptation that is forbidden to him. Or where Evangeline Davenport makes a bet with her best friend that she can transform any campus playboy into a decent man without him ever touching her, completely unaware that Garrett had already invoked a strict "hands-off rule" just to sabotage her.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐄𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐓 | Andrea Maxwell is done with athletes. Growing up as Beau Maxwell's little sister meant spending her whole life around post-game parties, locker room egos, and boys who treated love like a temporary distraction. After catching her high school boyfriend cheating on her, Andrea becomes convinced college athletes are all the same: charming, emotionally detached, and incapable of loving anyone for longer than a night. So when her film professor assigns a semester-long documentary project, Andrea decides to expose them. The Secret Lives of College Athletes starts as a cynical look into the culture she's spent years resenting - the hookups, the ghosting, the performative affection girls mistake for something real. What Beau and his best friend Dean Di Laurentis don't know is that Andrea already has her conclusion before filming even begins. But the more time she spends embedded in their world, the more her carefully built theories begin to crack - especially when Dean becomes the person helping her most. Late nights editing in her dorm turn into laughter, lingering glances, and moments of sincerity Andrea never expected to capture on camera. Because Dean Di Laurentis is supposed to be everything she hates in a college athlete. And falling for him might ruin every belief she's ever had about love.

Neveah's life was already complicated-broken family, old scars, too many secrets. She didn't need Sweet Pea crashing into it with his sharp edges, stupid grin, and a loyalty that burned hotter than any threat. She was supposed to stay away. He wasn't supposed to care. But when everything falls apart, sometimes the person you're most afraid of is the one who refuses to let you go.

She had grown up surrounded by horses, awkward silences, and the imposing figure of her father, John Dutton. But in Yellowstone, wanting is not enough. You have to fight. You have to bleed.

We grew up side by side - me, Jax Teller, and Opie Winston. Late nights sneaking out, hiding from the world, daring each other to dream bigger than Charming. But I left, chasing a future in Texas and running straight into the arms of the wrong kind of outlaw. Years later, broken and looking for home, I pull into Teller-Morrow in my dad's Chevelle... and the boy I used to lean on is a man now. A man I swore I'd never fall for. A man who might burn my whole world down.

Charlotte "Charlie" Marie Bennett has spent her life chasing barrels and breaking records. A three-time world champion and a rising influencer, she's carved out her own path far from the sprawling Montana ranch she once called home. With 2 overprotective older brothers and a fierce independent streak, she left behind more than just wide-open spaces-she left Kayce Dutton, the boy she thought she'd spend forever with. They were high school sweethearts, inseparable until long-distance pulled them apart. Charlie walked away her freshman year at Texas A&M, believing love and rodeo couldn't coexist. Ten years later, she's back home for a rodeo, sponsored by longtime mentor Travis. But home isn't just the same dusty town she once knew-it's where Kayce is, now a married man with a six-year-old son. Old feelings resurface like embers in the wind, threatening to ignite a fire neither of them is ready for. As Charlie faces the ghosts of her past and the love she left behind, she must decide-does she keep spinning toward the life she built, or is there still room in her heart for the cowboy who was never meant to be forgotten? I do not owe Yellowstone, the Characters, or the Storyline!
