Ice Breakers

College was supposed to be a fresh start for Izuku. A chance to step out of his old life, away from the suffocating expectations and the quiet loneliness that followed him like a shadow. After moving halfway across the country to join the university's elite figure skating program, he hopes the rink will finally feel like home again. Instead, he finds himself sharing it with the last person he ever wanted to meet.

Katsuki is the campus hotshot, fast, fearless, and annoyingly charming. A hockey star who thrives under pressure and hides his cracks behind swagger and smiles. He likes to believe he has it all handled... until a territorial figure skater shows up on his ice and starts calling him out on every reckless move.

Told through dual perspectives, this real-world, happy-dark romance explores new beginnings, hidden pressure, and the slow unraveling of walls built miles high. As routines overlap and truths slip through, two college boys find themselves navigating the thin line between rivalry and something that feels dangerously like connection.

A story about starting over, being seen, and the unexpected boy who changes everything.
