Home Ice Advantage, 5 stars

These two snuck up on me, the level I got invested in their relationship before I knew it! They weren’t quite enemies, but they definitely had animosity between them. Then they did a thing, and kept doing a thing, and before they processed any of the things, they were in love <3


Goaltender Interference, 5 stars

These two just kept breaking my heart! The struggles they had, the struggles they have, and their absolute devastation at not being ‘more’ or settled. Their worries and doubts, and their confusion about their reactions, it radiated from them and you were caught in that blast. The quiet they felt when together, when everything was silenced. That they realized, finally, they were experts at avoidance. The frank and honest way those around them cared for them, tried to help them, and when Aiden’s mom just stepped up. That they did figure it all out, and it wasn’t easy of straightforward, that each path had pitfalls they needed to recognize and deal with. The HEA that they both wanted to bad, for so long, and finally achieved <3
