"I'm going to fall-"

"Hey,no. Here."He pulled me on his body. His arms were wrapped around my waist as he was holding me tight. "I got you."He smiled. His smile is so warm,it could make the ice melt.

"You make ice skating look so easy."I say,getting his attention. 

"Remember at that wedding, you showed me how to move softly to the rhythm. Today we're doing the same. You told me I was stiff. That's you now. Relax."

"I can't..."

"Relax your body. I'm holding you. I'll move you around. Trust me May."he said and I did. 


Until my ass felt wet and cold. 


"WHAT THE HELL!"

"I'm sorry!"he laughed, sliding away.

Not in the Playbook by serenityhaven_
29 parts Ongoing Mature
Once the golden boy of the New Jersey Devils, he now walks a thin line between expectation and exhaustion. After back-to-back seasons marred by injury, he's not just losing games-he's unraveling. Confidence bleeds between shifts. Joy slips through his fingers like melted ice. He's tasted victory, stood centre ice with a city on his shoulders, felt the roar of an arena chanting his name. But lately, it's the silence that echoes-between games, between goals, after every rehab session. And then-he sees her. Alexa Lilliana Ignacio. Athletic Therapy student. Luke Hughes' best friend. And possibly the most infuriating girl Jack has ever met. She's lightning in a bottle. Brutal honesty wrapped in soft laughter. Clumsy, beautiful, guarded. She doesn't chase stars-she builds her own constellations. Jack? He's barely a blip in her orbit... which might be why she's the only person who's felt real in a long time. She's not here for fame or its casualties. But fate? It doesn't ask for permission. It starts with a stolen glance on the Jumbotron-her face lighting up the screen, stealing the breath from a thousand throats, including his. Then comes a second encounter. Then a third. She sees him-not the name, not the number. Him. And in a world where he's measured by stats and seconds, that means everything. But she's got her own game to win. Her own future to fight for. When she starts pulling away-missing hangouts, dodging texts, hiding behind "busy"-Jack notices. He misses the chaos. Misses her. Because no matter how perfect his life looks from the outside, it's her-sharp-tongued, emotionally guarded, and secretly kind-who makes him feel alive. It starts the way most storms do: quietly. With a glance, a smirk, a shared inside joke. And maybe the best plays of all? Aren't in the playbook.

Against the Boards - Jack Hughes

45 parts Complete Mature

Ivy Carson thought she was done with hockey. After walking away from the sport that once defined her, she's ready for a fresh start-majoring in sports management at Columbia University and moving in with her best friend, Luke Hughes. There's just one catch: Jack Hughes, Luke's older brother and the guy who's always been more than just a friend, also lives there. Living under the same roof as Jack stirs up old emotions Ivy isn't sure she's ready to face, especially when their history is filled with heated arguments, undeniable tension, and moments that always felt like almost something. But as Ivy finds her footing-making a new friend in the city, settling into life with the Hughes family again-and getting back on the ice. Torn between the life she's built and the one she left behind, Ivy struggles with whether she's ready to lace up her skates again. And when Jack's jealousy flares at her growing bond with someone new, tensions reach a breaking point-on and off the ice. Second chances, late-night skates, and a love story that refuses to stay in the past-Against the Boards is a heartwarming and steamy romance about finding your way back home, in hockey and in love. ______________ I don't own any of the characters accept for Ivy and Kyla.
