Original Character (OC)
TV Show
Emelia Nash needed a fresh start. Not only did the 118 lose their captain, but Emelia lost her dad, and this time, she wasn't getting him back. She hated how everyone would walk on eggshells around her, worried she would break. Everything around her was a constant reminder of what she lost. After the funeral, she decided she couldn't stay with the 118. She needed a place where no one knew her past, and she could just be Emelia instead of the late Captain Nash's daughter. What better place than Nashville, Tennessee? Ryan was lost. He's divorced, and apparently not an only child anymore. Surprisingly, the one person who helped him through all of this wasn't his mom or dad, but the mysterious new transfer from LA. He found himself slowly letting his guard down around her and becoming great friends, but what happens when he starts to want more than that? Read as Emelia slowly regains her spark through her newfound family and a certain divorced cowboy. Ryan Hart x fem oc slowburn - like they are gonna be friends for a while, depending on how long the show runs for DISCLAIMER- I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING IN THE 911 UNIVERSE. The only original work would be my OC that I inserted into the story.

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.
