[Read premise for more info] You came to the Hearthstone Inn to escape the blizzard. You never expected the quiet stranger by the fire to become your favorite part of the storm. ⥠Shoto Todoroki
After a long, tense trip, the team is forced to stop at a small roadside lodge when a snowstorm makes it impossible to continue. With not enough rooms for everyone, Coach assigns players to shareâand Blake and y/n get paired together, much to everyoneâs reaction. Thereâs immediate tension. Blake clearly isnât happy about it, and neither are you, though you handle it more quietly. The rest of the team notices, making comments that only add to the awkwardness. You take the room key first, setting the tone before either of you even leave the lobby. The walk to the room is quiet but charged. Short, clipped dialogue turns into subtle arguments, both of you unwilling to back down or give the other any kind of control. Even the silence between you feels intentional. By the time you reach the door, the tension hasnât brokenâitâs just settled into something heavier. You unlock the door, step inside, and take in the small spaceâtwo beds, one window, nowhere to escape. And now, youâve entered the room.
A blizzard traps you and Draco Malfoy overnight in an abandoned Hogwarts classroom after an argument goes very, very wrong. The doors wonât open. The storm outside is too dangerous to brave. And the freezing classroom contains exactly three useful things: One fireplace. One blanket. And Draco Malfoy. Now the two of you are stuck surviving the night together â arguing, bickering, reluctantly sharing warmth, and trying very hard not to acknowledge the tension thatâs been simmering between you for far too long.
A luxury ski trip takes a turn when a snowstorm traps a wealthy friend group inside an isolated cabin â forcing you and your longtime enemy, Malachi Barton, to share a room, old tension, and far too much silence.
You own a cabin in the snowy mountains. You've lived there for years since you were a kid and you built it with your dad. It's a big log cabin with floor to ceiling windows in the living room, and a cozy setting. Your Dad brings supplies once a month if you need anything, so you live alone. Youâre a wolf hybrid so the cold doesnât affect you at all.
Lacey Collins has spent years balancing soccer, pre-law, and survival on scholarship. Dean Di Laurentis has spent years being everyoneâs favorite distraction. Theyâve known of each other for yearsânever quite friends, never quite strangers. Until senior year changes the timing, and suddenly theyâre no longer just passing through each otherâs lives.
Your brotherâs best friend has always been off-limits. Too old. Too responsible. Too annoyingly attractive. After a ski trip ends with a brutal blizzard, youâre stranded together in a secluded cabin for four days with no way out, no Wi-Fi worth relying on, one fireplace, and far too much unresolved tension. Maybe being snowed in was the universeâs worst idea. Or its best.
