helloooo, i have a request if its possible♡
since we got figure skater! Sirius..... Do you think we could get hockey player! James x figure skater! reader? Maybe they go to the same place but the place where they practice its kinda shitty so its literally kinda like an across the hallway situation where the hockey practice happens on one ice rink and when you leave you can walk thru the ice rink of the figure skaters that its on another section of the place IDK I'M NOT AN ARCHITECT SORRY
BUT THE POINT ITS, that one day James leaves practice later than usual and he's walking to get out but he heards his favorite song playing and he goes to see whats up because its his favorite song ever! and goes to the other ice rink and sees the reader practicing and inmediatly he has the biggest crush ever and its almost dreaming about a house and three kids with that cute girl
idk i think i explained myself like sht but hope you like the idea! cause i think it would be soo cute
Hi lovely, you explained yourself perfectly! Thanks for being so patient with me, I hope this is alright <3
hockey player!James x figure skater!reader ♡ 718 words
James’ entire body is pleasantly sore, and he’s very much looking forward to going home to a nice, hot shower.
“Do you and Moony want to go get breakfast tomorrow morning?” he asks Sirius as they leave the locker room. The two of them had taken longer than usual changing out of their gear, Sirius filling him in on the absolute hell week Remus had at his new job. To hear Sirius talk about it, all the other professors are simply jealous of Remus. James is sure that’s partly true, but he’d bet they need less reason than that. Somehow, James had thought leaving school would mean emerging into a more mature world, but adults seem just as petty as teenagers. Maybe pancakes and a good, uplifting chat would do something to take the sting out of Remus’ first week and help prepare him for the next.
Sirius cuts James a sideways look, gray eyes narrowed. “Breakfast at what time?”
“I was thinking six, six thirty.” Sirius scoffs, and James grins. “Only joking. How’s eleven?”
“Still too early,” Sirius grumbles, “but we’ll go.”
James bobs his head, pleased to have a course of action for helping his friend. “Ask Moons where he feels like going, and just…” He hears a faint, familiar melody. “...just let me know.”
“Sounds good.” Sirius pushes open the door, but James has stopped. He’s looking back towards the rink, intrigued. “Coming?”
James waves him off. “In a bit. See you tomorrow.”
Sirius makes an amused sound, not unused to James’ diversions, and goes.
James follows the sound of his favorite song, unabashed about bopping his head to the beat as he approaches the rink. He knows figure skaters sometimes use the rink after his hockey practice has wrapped up, and he absolutely has to see who’s choreographed a routine to this. He comes to a stop near the edge of the bleachers, and watches through the tempered glass as one lone skater launches into a turn.
This wouldn’t be the track James would have thought of for a figure skating routine, but frankly, you’re doing it justice. Your movements are springy and nimble as you glance across the ice, one complicated-looking move to the next to the next. It seems like both skates are never touching the ground for more than half a second. There’s a lot to be said, probably, about your skill, your technique, but James is a philistine. All he can think about is how pretty you look.
You’re gorgeous. Stunning. Graceful in your movements and seraphim in your countenance. A wisp of hair has freed itself from the confines of the rest and whips about your face, but you don’t seem to notice it, your gaze steady and lips just slightly pursed in concentration.
James would never tell his friends because they’d mock him to hell and back, but he does believe in love at first sight. Only under particular circumstances, though. The sight has to be good enough—meaning, he has to see some aspect of who that person is behind a pretty face. You certainly do have a pretty face, and you’re dancing to his favorite song, and James doesn’t understand how he could ever be expected to not be totally enamored with you after this one spectacular look. He worries that if you glance over, you’ll see him with giant cartoon hearts boinging out of his eyes on springs.
The song ends, and you spin to a stop. James’ breathing stops, too, as your gaze lands on a point not ten feet to his right. He wonders if he’s being creepy. It’s not like this is a private rink, and James wouldn’t be weirded out if he spotted someone watching him running drills or something (actually, if it were you he’d be over the moon about it), but he’s been told not everyone feels like he does about that stuff. And though he hardly thinks of himself as intimidating, James is also a big guy. He wants to woo you, not spook you.
You skate to the edge of the rink to restart your music, and James slips out. He hears it blaring softly behind him, and he probably looks like a total idiot when he grins and dances out the front door. An idiot in love.

AO3 Click on me!
This is all fiction and not meant to represent Mingi in any way or form.
The sound of blades against ice and the smell of a freezer minus the food brought you great comfort, and it continued to do so for a century and half. The ice rink was your second home – not school or your grandma’s house – heck, you could manoeuvre the place better than your own house.
Abel Korzeniowski’s Charms blasted pleasantly through the speakers in the hall. You stood in the middle of the rink with your hands raised and knees slightly bent, while facing forward. The arena was completely empty which wasn’t anything weird considering it was six AM on a Monday. You slowly moved across the ice in sync to the music, leaving all your thoughts and worries in the parking lot outside. There was only you and the ice.
As the music gradually picked up its pace you began doing light spins and jumps. You imagined the arena to be packed with people, excited eyes following your elegant figure and cheers going off like cannons after every stunt.
In tune to the music reaching its turning point you propelled yourself up and spun in the air only for the melody to be abruptly cut off. A short static echoed in the hall as the AUX was rather harshly unplugged from your phone, resulting in you losing your footing and falling on the ice.
“Majestic as always Swan Princess, but I’ll have to deduct ten points for that eye captivating fall.”
Chorus of laughter and gloves pounding against the plexiglas averted your attention for a split second and the picture of an audience watching wasn’t much of an imagination as the whole hockey team stood by the entrance of the rink.
With a curse, you got up and threw a glare towards the music booth planted between the penalty boxes. Scratch that, you threw a glare at the guy inside the music booth.
If there was anything figure skating couldn’t help you with it was Song Mingi, left winger of Red Tigers and the biggest douchebag known to man-kind.
The man-kind in question was you.
“Piss off, Song. The rink is booked until 10 am.”
The large man leaned into the mic, a smug grin on his stupidly handsome face, “Can’t do sweetheart. We have an upcoming match against the Blue Wolves so we need to practice.”
In three slides you reached the worn out glas separating you two.
“Listen here asshole,” you breathed out a cloud of fog, “I don’t care what you have or when you have it, the rink is booked so take your little pack of chihuahuas and fuck off!”
Mingi made himself comfortable on the chair, hands intertwined behind his neck and long legs perched up on the desk. He was not going anywhere unless it was on that ice.
“I guess we’ll just have to wait til you’re done.”

4 - figure skater Dream/ hockey player Hob please? 👀
Ask me about my wips
Thank you for the ask! Sorry it took me so long to answer it, but I actually managed to finish the one scene (or rather two consecutive scenes) I had drafted for this au back when the idea was first conceived, so thank you for the inspiration ❤️
I am posting all that now, because why the hell not 🙃
Fair warning, this story has a very romcom logic, which is to say, don’t think about it too hard 😅
Hob and Dream attend the same university and the school’s doing some cuts and only one sport will continue to get financial support - either hockey or figure skating. Dream and Hob have a challenge to win a major competition by the end of the semester, whoever manages to do that will secure the financial support for their sport. In the meantime they of course fall in love.
The following scene features a fun dynamic that I enjoyed exploring - Dream and Corinthian as ex boyfriends :) There’s also a lil scene with Hob at the end. Enjoy :)
————————————-
There’s a slow clapping sound from the bleachers and Dream skids to a stop.
“Hello, beautiful.”
Dream sighs. This is the last person he would want to deal with right now. “What do you want, Cori,” he asks, resuming his routine practice, trying to focus on the movements rather than on the unwelcome presence of his ex.
“Why, I just came to enjoy the view.”
“I don’t have time for your bullshit.”
“Don’t you? I don’t see any company. Where’s your new puppy?”
So that’s what this is about. Dream shakes his head in disbelief. They broke up five months ago and Cori would still come back with obnoxious propositions. It was over, there was nothing else to say on the topic. There was no reason for him to explain himself to Cori, it wasn’t his business who Dream keeps company with.
“He’s not my puppy.”
“Ain’t he? He follows you around everywhere, salivating at your feet.”
Dream feels the irritation rising in him with every word Cori says, even though he knows that’s exactly what the guy’s aiming for - trying to provoke him.
“Leave Hob alone, Cori,” he hisses through clenched teeth.
“Ah, so you do care about him. Thought he was just a plaything.”
“He’s nobody’s plaything. Leave. Him. Alone.”
Cori sneers. “I really don’t understand what you can possibly see in him. What’s he have that I don’t?”
Dream snorts. “He’s not a self-centered prick, for starters.”
“That’s rich coming from you. We’re birds of a feather, remember?”
Dream doesn’t offer any response to that, which just makes Cori push harder.
“I’ve been making my way through the lacrosse team, but hockey players sure have their appeal, maybe I should mix things up a bit.”
Dream stops the routine and skates towards Cori, stopping by the boards which create a border between them.
“Can’t you find another pass-time than messing with people?”he hisses. “It’s an embarrassment that I ever believed you to be worth anything.”
Cori’s brow twitches, breaking his mask of nonchalance.
“You’re a nightmare, Cori. You play with your victims until they start to bore you and then you leave them to bleed out on the sidewalk.”
Cori snorts. “Please. They know exactly what they’re getting into with me. Everybody knows I don’t linger.”
Dream raises his eyebrows at that.
Cori frowns. “You were different. You were special.”
Dream snorts.
Cori frowns deeper, jaw clenching. He steps forward, up to the boards. “You were. I thought we had something.”
Dream shakes his head and turns his back on Cori, skating back to the middle of the ice rink.
“I bet he can’t make you scream like I can!” Cori shouts.
Dream snorts. Nothing can piss Cori off more than being ignored. “Maybe I am just good at pretending, have you thought about that?”
“Liar. You used to love our games.”
“Everything’s a game to you, Cori. That’s the problem. You don’t know when to stop. You love watching people suffer, you’re a cruel sadist, but not just in bed. You exploit every weakness. And you make everything about you. On my birthday, you took me to a goddamn shooting range!”
“You said you’d like to try.”
Dream huffs in disbelief, turning back around to face Cori.
“From a bow! I wanted to try shooting from a bow! You were only half-listening, as always. I despise guns!”
“It ain’t my fault you don’t have the guts for it.”
Dream laughs bitterly, shaking his head.
“See, this is exactly what I mean. You’re doing it again. Absolving yourself from guilt. Making it my fault. I’ve had enough of your mindgames. I’ve had enough of your sadistic universe.”
Cori shrugs. “That’s how I was made. I thought you could understand. I thought you could take it.”
Dream sighs tiredly. “That’s not a relationship, Cori. When one side is in charge and the other just takes it.”
Cori rises an eyebrow, his tone mocking. “If you wanted to switch, you could have just asked.”
Dream stares at him, unimpressed.
“This is pointless. Conversations with you never lead anywhere.”
He turns his back on Cori once again and resumes practicing his routine.
“He can’t give you what I can give you.”
“Whatever it is you think you’re giving, I don’t want it,” Dream says with finality. He doesn’t react to anymore taunts and insults Cori throws his way, until the man gives up on trying to get a reaction out of him and leaves.
The moment the door shuts behind Cori, Dream drops to his knees, exhausted mentally rather than physically. He lies on his back on the ice, staring at the ceiling.
He doesn’t know how many minutes pass like that.
When he hears the door open again, his hackles rise immediately. “Which part of ‘fuck off’ did you not understand,” he growls.
There’s a silent pause. Then he hears Hob’s voice say: “Er, sorry, I will leave if you want me to.”
Dream quickly sits up. “No. I…you can stay. I thought you were someone else.”
“Oh. Okay.”
Hob joins him on the ice rink. He’s not wearing skates, slide-stepping on the ice towards Dream. Dream cannot help but compare it to Cori’s approach. Cori would never risk his own dignity by trying to get to him on the slippery surface. Hob doesn’t hesitate to join Dream on his playground, letting Dream have the advantage of being on skates - Dream could leave in an instant if he wanted to, and Hob wouldn’t be able to catch up with him.
But then again, Hob must feel at home on the ice just as much as Dream does.
When Hob gets to him, he frowns at Dream who’s still sitting on the ice, making no attempt to get up. “Are you alright? Did you fall? Are you hurt?”
He kneels down by Dream’s side.
Dream sighs, flopping back onto his back. “No, no and no.”
“Ah. Well, may I join you?”
Dream shrugs.
Hob lies down next to him and they stare at the ceiling in companionable silence.
“I’m picturing the ceiling painted like a night sky speckled with stars, Van Gogh style, maybe? Wouldn’t it be beautiful?” Hob says.
Dream looks at the man’s profile, baffled and amused. “This is a sport’s rink, not an art gallery.”
Hob shrugs. “I just think it would look cool.”
Dream sighs. “I don’t know how you do it.”
“Do what?” Hob asks, turning his head to face Dream.
“Keep your unwavering optimism.”
Hob smiles. “Ah, well. I get up in the morning and I decide it’s going to be a lovely day, I am going to meet lovely people and experience something new. I feel very lucky that I get to do things that I love. And there’s so much beauty in the world, waiting to be seen.”
Dream frowns at the ceiling. His voice is but a whisper when he says: “I have to try. So hard. To see it.”
Hob looks at him with concern. “You find skating beautiful, don’t you?”
“Of course.”
“Then, doesn’t that make you happy? Don’t you feel lucky you get to do something you love everyday? That you have something to look forward to?”
“….I suppose.”
“And isn’t that beautiful?”
Dream looks at Hob, he looks into his big brown eyes that whisper promises of warmth and shelter and succor, promises of a bright happy future.
He lets himself believe in it if just for a moment.
“Perhaps. Perhaps it is beautiful.”
They don’t address the elephant in the room - the knowledge that by the end of the semester, only one of them will get to continue pursuing his dreams, surrounded by friends and family - by the community they found here. Building on the foundations they’ve laid down in this town.
The other one will have to give up on those dreams.
Or leave.
