The first time I saw Luke Carter cry, he was trying to drown himself in a pool at midnight.
I didn't stop him. I just watched.
𖹭.ᐟ Oliver Reyes is the boy who seems fine. Star swimmer. Perfect grades. Empty house. He's learned to hold his breath-in the pool, in the pills he counts like prayers, in the silence of being left behind by parents who love him from a distance.
Luke Carter is the boy everyone wants but nobody saves. Golden, reckless, burning out fast. He fights like he's trying to feel something and drowns like he's trying to stop.
愛 When they collide, it's not love at first sight. It's recognition. Two boys who understand that water accepts what people can't. Two boys who've been treading water their whole lives, waiting for someone to notice they're sinking.
But loving someone who's drowning doesn't save them. Sometimes it just means you both go under.
𖹭.ᐟ This is a story about the versions of ourselves we perform for other people. About being everyone's hero when you can barely save yourself. About the fine line between swimming and drowning, between love and destruction, between staying and letting go.
愛 Not all love stories have happy endings.
Some just have honest ones.

Between Heartbearts
Skyler held his mug of lemon tea like it was a holy relic. Ajax sat cross-legged across from him, sipping his own cup and watching him fondly. Skyler blinked at him over the rim. "I would die for you." "You just sneezed seven times in a row." "I would sneeze for you." "You already have." Skyler broke into a grin. "Lucky you."Terminé

The Boy I Pray to Forget | MxM
Jonah Heyes has always lived under rules he didn't choose-rules that taught him that desire is sinful, that love is forbidden, and that who he truly is must stay buried. On the ice rink, he can control everything: the puck, the speed, the pain. Off it... not so much. Then there's Luca: openly gay, teasing, and effortlessly confident. He sees the walls Jonah has built and doesn't flinch. He doesn't push... but he doesn't back away either. Jonah wants to ignore the pull he feels, the ache that Luca awakens, the truth about who he really is. But with every teasing glance, every patient smile, and every quiet moment together, Jonah realizes that being himself-and falling for Luca-might be the hardest thing he's ever done.

Casual Interference | MxM
Jamie Reyes is a goalie. Calm under pressure, impossible to read, and very good at keeping things compartmentalized. Alex Stanley is the captain. Confident, focused, and definitely not looking for complications. A casual hookup between teammates is supposed to be simple. No labels. No feelings. No questions asked. After all, Alex doesn't even know if he is gay. But somewhere between late-night texts, locker room tension, road trips, and always choosing each other without thinking... things start getting messy. Because catching feelings was never part of the agreement. And in hockey, interference can ruin everything. Especially when it is casual. [Mature themes] [Completed] [Book 2]

Under the Rink Lights | MxM
Noah plays like the ice was made for him - calm, controlled, unreadable. Elliot plays like the world owes him something - sharp edges, quick temper, fire under his skin. They're rivals. Different teams. Different reputations. Different ways of surviving. But one reckless hit, one look held a second too long, and suddenly the line between enemy and something else starts to blur. Off the ice, it's supposed to be simple. Casual. No feelings. No risks. Except Elliot is the one who keeps showing up. And Noah is the one who never runs. As cameras catch stolen moments and the hockey world starts asking questions, their secret stops being theirs. Love doesn't just threaten their careers - it forces them to face the parts of themselves they've spent years hiding. Because under the rink lights, everything is visible. And some things are worth the fall. [Mature themes] [Completed]Terminé
Stubborn Petty Teammates
Stubbornly agreeing to play goaltender for his rival team, Morgan is forced to be puck buddies with his irritating new captain, the player who left him with an injury. He doesn't expect to fall for the one person he'd rather keep hating. 🏒🏒🏒 Morgan Raleigh could have been a legendary golden boy goalie, but returning from an extended career hiatus leaves him so desperate to prove himself in hockey again that he agrees to play for his former rivals, where Scott Brooks, the infuriatingly cocky player who injured him, is his captain. After a messy breakup, Scott has no choice but to share a room with Morgan, who he blames for the bad press that ruined his relationship. As petty as it may be, the only way he can possibly spend a year pretending to play nice with his rival is through passionate arguments, competitions behind the scenes... and casual hookups where Morgan pretends his goal is the pain relief, and Scott tells himself he only needs the release. But the longer they spend as teammates, the more Morgan's fun side opens up Scott's emotional walls, and the more Morgan questions his sexuality. With the past heavy between them, Morgan must reconcile his desire to return to his old team with his confusing feelings for the person who destroyed him the most. Content Warning: Brief portrayals of paranoia and mental illness (OCD) and addiction behaviour as well as discussions of religious trauma. Please use discretion while reading.Terminé
Swimming with the Sharks
San Jose Sharks alternate captain Lukas Matterson has been in the NHL long enough to know how this works. Do your job, fulfill your responsibilities, don't make a spectacle of yourself, and above all, don't get involved in any messes. Mathias Söderlund is a mess. Mathias, the shamelessly confident and infuriatingly cocky forward for the Los Angeles Kings, seems to have made it his life's mission to unsettle Lukas every time they meet. Mathias brings with him a kind of chaos Lukas can neither ignore nor fully understand. Lukas Matterson and Mathias Söderlund are used to hating each other. But as the tension between them intensifies, the power struggle that began on the ice starts drifting into more dangerous waters. What once felt like hate begins to grow into something Lukas doesn't know how-and doesn't want-to name. Or in short: You have sex with the wrong guy once, and he never leaves you alone.
