"I want to quit figure skating."

VINCENT ZHOU is the biggest name in the ice skating world. The nearly impossible quad-axle is secured under his belt, and everyone is watching him as the 2022 Olympics approach. But, despite his denial, the excessive pressure and high expectations are slowly causing him to crack. 

When their two lives clash, it's impossible for the two of them not to feel envious of the other, but as their guards fall down, will they be able to find a sense of stability in a mess too complex for them to understand?All Rights Reserved

Winter Calls by tlswrites

The art of figure skating has been Kusuo's passion for the longest time. However, he hasn't ever pursued it beyond small competitions and free skating events. As a college student, he takes on his hobby at the ice rink-sometimes shared with the hockey players-and he practices under the figure skating program in hopes of having quiet skating sessions. He wouldn't be granted peace so easily though, as the start of the first semester welcomes new faces and new challenges. Attention had never been his forte, so Kusuo is reluctant when his coach requests for 𝘩𝘪𝘮 to represent the university in an upcoming figure skating competition. Between wants and expectations, the haunting rise of something he had buried deep down long ago bites at him, bringing unresolved and conflicting feelings into light. **This fic undergoing editing and isn't beta read, so expect inconsistencies and small mistakes!

Blades and Breakaways by rottenbananas111

Rowan Black is a junior in college and the captain of the Crimson women's hockey team, and everyone either wants to be her or be with her. Tall, beautiful, smart, kind, loyal, protective-and the best damn player in college hockey. But after a tragic accident five months ago, she's been unable to step foot on the ice. She's tough on the outside, but beneath it, she's hiding a past full of loss, self-doubt, and a desire to prove she can come back stronger than ever. Emery Bennett is a junior who won the Northeast Collegiate Figure Skating Championship in her first and second years of college. This year, the pressure is even higher: her parents expect Olympic glory in 2026, and her fans are counting on her. The hardest pressure? It's coming from herself. Her obsession with perfection keeps her in a constant state of stress, chasing something she fears she'll never achieve. The rink is her sanctuary, but it's also where she's slowly losing herself. When these two athletes collide, their worlds will collide too. Both need to face their greatest fears-and the hardest question of all: can they help each other heal, or will their problems on the ice tear them apart?
