a phil malkin x oc story I decided to make since I couldn't find any phil malkin fics I actually liked In a quiet little stretch of Derry, a boy falls in love with a girl he's certain is far too good for the world. too kind, too gentle, with a sweetness that seems to glow all on its own. To him, she feels almost unreal, like something out of a summer daydream or a love song drifting through an open window. It takes time for her to notice him, and even longer for him to believe she ever truly could. But once she does, he never doubts it for a second. What grows between them is easy and sincere, the sort of love you imagine lasting forever. He is completely sweet on her, and somehow, he convinces her to love him back just the same. For a while, everything feels perfectly certain. He imagines a future already written: holding hands, wedding rings, having babies with her laugh, a lush life built simply and happily together. He thinks the future is set. but nothing is ever truly set especially not in derry.

Quinn Taylor has made a career out of looking calm. On the ice, she's America's favorite kind of pressure-proof-bright smile, steady answers, the skater everyone wants to root for. Off the ice, she's an only child with a perfectionist's brain and a habit of carrying too much alone. The cameras love her. The country expects her. And the one place she can't afford to fall apart is the one place she's dreamed of since she was little. The Olympics. Macklin Celebrini has always made things feel lighter. He was the new kid at a Northern California rink at twelve-Canadian, polite, a little lost-until Quinn decided he was hers to keep. He became her best friend in the cold air and early mornings, the person who could make her laugh mid-breakdown and never ask her to perform for him. Then life did what life does: seasons changed, schedules got brutal, distance widened, and the kind of friendship that felt unbreakable turned into occasional texts and quiet missing. Now they're both back where the world is loudest. At the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, Quinn is chasing the skate of her life for Team USA. Mack is carrying his own weight for Team Canada hockey. When reporters find out they grew up together, the story writes itself-childhood friends reunited, smiles caught on camera, a thousand strangers deciding what they are to each other. The only problem is... the strangers aren't entirely wrong. Between past chapters at a small California rink and present days in the Olympic Village, Quinn and Mack have to figure out what they really meant to each other then-and what they're allowed to be now, with medals on the line and the whole world watching. Because it's one thing to love someone quietly from a distance. It's another to have them show up in your life again and make everything feel possible.
