The Silence After You Neteyam Sully x Y/N She loved him quietly. She waited too long. Growing up beside Neteyam Sully meant learning how to stay silent, how to admire from a distance, how to tuck feelings away for another day. From the forests of the Omatikaya to the open seas of the Metkayina, Y/N remains close to him in every way except the one that matters most, convincing herself there will always be time to speak. But when war returns to Pandora and Neteyam gives his life protecting his family, Y/N is left with a grief she cannot explain and a love she never claimed. In the aftermath, she must learn how to live with the silence he leaves behind, and the words she never said. A story about unspoken love, quiet devotion, and the cost of waiting.

double fantasy- macklin celebrini

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.
