calemakar coloradoavalanche hockeyplayer hockeyromance love loveatfirstsight nathanmackinnon nhl nhlfanfiction nhlhockey

he was supposed to be a passing moment. but he felt like the beginning of something she couldn't explain.

gisele santuzza never believed in love at first sight - until the day she met cale makar.
she wasn't supposed to be at that rink. he wasn't supposed to look at her like that.

but he did. and for a second too long, so did she.

what starts as a quiet, fleeting encounter turns into something neither of them are ready for. gisele is guarded, a little broken, and more focused on rebuilding her life than letting someone in. cale is calm, kind, and already tangled in the high-pressure world of professional hockey - where emotions are distractions and love is never simple.

their paths should've crossed once and disappeared like breath in cold air.

but the universe has other plans.

this is a story about timing, distance, and two people who keep finding each other - slowly, tenderly, painfully - until the silence between them finally breaks.All Rights Reserved

I'm just trying to figure out if there's room in it for me... or if I'll be left behind when he makes his breakaway.

Tightrope by dearrheartbreak

Becca and Will were once best friends. From immediately clicking at the school bus stop at five-years-old, to bonding over their love for hockey and future ambitions, it was always Becca and Will. Will and Becca. Even as they navigated the toughest parts of their lives, they could always count on each other. Becca had met Will when she had needed him the most, and Becca stood by Will through the times he could barely keep it together with everything going on at home. Nevertheless, as inseparable as they were, Becca one day simply disappeared. She left without explaining or even saying goodbye, and Will never heard from her again. That is, until eleven years later, she showed up at his team's arena, where he was the star player for the Chicago Whispers, claiming she was the new team publicist. Eleven years of silence made Will want nothing to do with her, but still, she pushed and held onto their lingering love for each other, determined to explain everything and get back in his life, even if it means walking the tightrope that hangs between their past life and the present. Still, as time passes and life stories are exchanged, Becca and Will might just realize that they aren't meant to be best friends this time around. Maybe, just maybe, they are meant to be so much more. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED TO @dearrheartbreak NAME Val R

Silent Temptation ✔️ || 18 + by lustenvy

First draft • completed • Cliche She was supposed to leave him behind. Instead, he followed her home-with a grin and a proposition she can't refuse. • • • Leon and Charlottes story (can be read as a standalone but is part of a series - read sinful liabilities first if you want to) • • • Leon Collins has an uncanny resemblance to temptation - and Charlotte Hudson knows better than to touch it twice. As maid of honour to her best friend and sister-in-law-to-be, Charlotte's only job is to keep the wedding week flawless. But that's easier said than done when the best man is Leon: her brother's best friend, her best friend's brother, and the one mistake she swore she'd never make again. They danced too close once - too drunk, too messy, too young, and far too unforgettable. Now they're walking down the aisle together, tension simmering under every glance, every brush of skin, every drunken confession that never should've left her lips. When the week ends, Charlotte thinks she's leaving the past - and him behind for good. She's wrong. Because Leon Collins just got traded to her new team. Now he's in her office, in her space, and in her head - all charm, smirks, and a proposition that shouldn't sound as tempting as it does. One rule. No feelings. Just a physical arrangement to burn off the heat neither of them can seem to ignore. But desire this dangerous doesn't play by the rules. And the closer Charlotte gets to Leon, the more her carefully built walls begin to crack. She promised herself she'd never fall for him again. But Leon Collins has always been the one risk she can't resist.
