Freddie has figure skated since she was 8 years old - it's part of who she is. But she's never realised how talented she really is on the ice or how great she could become, not even talking to the other teenagers at the rink. She's happy enough, or so she thinks, with no idea where she's going in life - until the infamous Sandy McConnell arrives at her London-based rink. With his soft-spoken accent and magical skating, Sandy opens Freddie's eyes to her potential and soon enough their extraordinary chemistry on the ice gets them partnered, flying towards the Junior Championships.

The only problem is that, however pretty it looks, ice dance is a tough life to choose, and just as it hits the heights Freddie's world begins to fall apart. Can love - of all kinds - put it back together?

Winners Don't Have Bad Days (Watty 2020 Winner, Romance)

43 parts Complete

When a total stranger knows what eats you, maybe they are your one true love. Even if you don't know it yet. || On Friday the 13th, two twenty-something, Daya and Mike, end up in a mutually beneficial arrangement: she is his caregiver after he breaks his foot; he provides room&board to help her out with a teeny-tiny cash flow problem. Not a whiff of a romance, strictly business. And for a while, all is good... for about five minutes, that is. What can an overweight man, a video game obsessed librarian, know about her quitting a challenging sport of figure skating, Daya scoffs. He needs to get off her case and sort out his binge eating! What does a celery-chewing skating diva care about his failure as a PhD candidate, Mike wonders. She is just replacing her dreams with his non-existing problems instead of pursuing her one true passion! With the two already teetering on the brink of mutually assured destruction, oil splashes onto the flames when Daya resumes her never-ending quest for skating triumph at Canadian Nationals. (Well, that should make Mike happy, right? Right?) But isn't there *something* worth fighting for *together*? Like, you know, love? COMPLETED. First Published: August 19, 2019 Trigger warning: This story contains themes of eating disorders and body image insecurity (male).
