|| 𝐎𝐅𝐅 𝐂𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐔𝐒 - "I don't care how complicated this gets, I still want you." Anastasia Graham never really had space for anything that didn't fit into a schedule. Skating, studying, training, repeat. That was her life at Briar University, carefully structured and tightly controlled, because if she let anything slip into the gaps, everything else starts to wobble. She doesn't do distractions. She doesn't do "figuring things out." And she definitely doesn't do boys. Especially not the kind who smile like they already know how the story ends. Dean Di Laurentis is exactly that kind of problem. Her brother's best friend. A hockey player. Infuriatingly confident, effortlessly charming, and the kind of guy who never seems to take anything seriously until you realize he's somehow good at everything anyway. Anastasia had known of him forever, seen him around campus and in his and Garrett's shared home, always assuming he was just another cocky athlete who thrived on attention. She was wrong. It started as nothing, just passing moments she didn't think twice about, until one night it wasn't nothing anymore. One conversation that ran longer than it should have. One look that lingered too long. One version of him that didn't feel like the loud, careless hockey player everyone else saw. It was something that noticed her in a way she wasn't used to being noticed. After that, things didn't stay simple. Because suddenly it wasn't just skating and school anymore. It was skating, school, and Dean, quietly, annoyingly, taking up space in her head she didn't have to give. And with her most important figure skating performance coming up, the timing couldn't have been worse. Or more dangerous. fem!oc x Dean Di Laurentis 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔- @avaawritesz frozen desires - Dean Di Laurentis

Dean Di Laurentis has three simple rules. Don't get attached. Don't overthink. And definitely don't fail English. Two out of three isn't bad. Until Briar University's resident playboy, hockey star, and self-proclaimed legend receives the academic equivalent of a slap to the face: he's failing an in-depth poetry course required for his major. Desperate to save both his GPA and his reputation, Dean turns to the last person on campus he'd ever willingly ask for help. Jade Henderson. Neuroscience major. Walking encyclopaedia. Mahone's waitress. A girl with chipped black nail polish, layered brown hair, and hazel eyes sharp enough to cut through every one of Dean's carefully rehearsed smiles. The girl who caught him hooking up in the library at two in the morning and informed him, in no uncertain terms, that he was "actively traumatizing literature." The girl who calls him Wayward Heyward. Jade has her own rules. Stay organised. Avoid unnecessary emotional entanglements. Survive living with Natalia, her dramatic and insufferable roommate. And never, under any circumstances, become involved with Dean Di Laurentis. Unfortunately, Dean doesn't understand the concept of staying away. What begins as reluctant tutoring sessions in the library quickly spirals into late-night text messages, sarcastic battles of wit, horror movie debates, poetry analyses, hockey games, and an increasingly dangerous habit of seeking each other out. Because beneath Dean's effortless charm lies a man capable of surprising tenderness and unwavering loyalty. And beneath Jade's cool intelligence and gothic armor is someone who notices everything... including the moments Dean wishes nobody saw. But when ex-girlfriends resurface, old insecurities threaten to sabotage them, and the line between banter and vulnerability begins to blur, Dean and Jade are forced to confront a terrifying possibility: What if the person who understands you best is the one person you never expected to let in.

She grew up across the street from him. Joe was first crushes, porch lights, family parties, and everything Victoria never quite got over. Even when he left for college. Even when New York claimed him. Even when the world did too. Years later, Victoria is building a life through photography, art, and carefully controlled distance when she's invited on tour with Joe and his friends, but proximity has a way of exposing what time never erased. As old feelings collide with new realities, Victoria is forced to confront the hardest truth of all: loving someone for years doesn't mean they were ever yours.

Celeste Sinclair has spent her entire life chasing perfection. As a competitive figure skater with Olympic dreams, she's learned that everything has a price - success, control, and the approval she's spent years trying to earn. Dean Di Laurentis is the exact opposite. Reckless, charming, and impossible to ignore, he lives in the moment while Celeste plans every step ahead. They were never supposed to fit. But somewhere between late-night conversations, stolen moments, and the pressure of becoming everything they're expected to be, Celeste begins to wonder if there's more to life than perfection. And Dean starts falling for the version of her that exists when nobody is watching.

He doesn't do girlfriends. Valerie Montgomery is exhausted. Exhausted of the cheating. The screaming matches. The humiliation. The revolving door relationship she can't seem to escape with Briar University football star Aaron Carter. So after one betrayal too many, Valerie decides she needs one thing: A distraction. Enter Garrett Graham. Briar U's hockey golden boy has rules when it comes to women, no attachments, no sleepovers, no feelings. With the pressure of being legendary hockey player Phill Graham's son crushing him from every angle, Garrett only has time for hockey and sex. Valerie should've been temporary. And Garrett should've been easy. But somewhere between late-night hookups, bruising chemistry, and the quiet moments neither of them were supposed to care about, lines begin to blur. Because the problem with pretending not to feel anything...is eventually, you do. And when toxic love comes back demanding another chance, Valerie is forced to decide what hurts more: Losing Aaron or risking Garrett.

Best friends Garrett Graham and Liliana Charlston have always been inseparable-until Garrett makes a deal with Hannah Wells that slowly pulls him away. As distance grows and silence takes over, Garrett begins to realize the one person he can't lose might already be slipping away.

Brooke Harrington arrived at Briar University with only one goal: to start over from scratch. After years spent in a toxic dance environment that stripped away her passions, leaving her with an eating disorder and breathtaking anxiety, she just wants to fly under the radar. Her only anchor is Soleil, her childhood best friend-the only one who knows her monsters and would do anything to protect her. Brooke's plan is perfect. At least until she runs into Soleil's brother. Dean Di Laurentis is the undisputed king of the campus: hockey star, wealthy, cocky, and used to getting whatever he wants with a smile. Brooke, with her distant attitude and melancholy eyes, is the only girl who has no intention of falling at his feet. Especially because she is his sister's best friend, which makes her categorically off-limits. Yet, between stolen hoodies and intense stares, Dean begins to chip away at her armor, becoming the only one capable of calming her anxiety. But while the chemistry between them becomes impossible to ignore, Brooke keeps repeating a phrase to herself like a mantra, terrified of that whirlwind of emotions: I know it won't work. Will the king of the ice manage to prove to her that breaking all the rules of the game is worth it?
