From on-ice tension to off-ice heartache, each story dives into a new romance: from Lando and Oscar’s rock-solid relationship tested by jealousy, to Max and Charles’ slow-burn connection, to Felicity and Frederik’s forbidden love between rival coaches. Packed with sharp banter, found family vibes, and just the right amount of drama, this is where sports and love collide—hard.

💌 Welcome to the Neutral Zone 💌
Hey there, hockey fans & romance lovers!

Welcome to The Neutral Zone, a series where sharp blades, fast passes, and stolen glances collide. Set in the high-stakes world of professional ice hockey, this universe follows the lives, loves, and rivalries of the Orange Arrows. I hopw it will feel like a warm blanket on a snowy day.

This is a universe full of late-night practices, secret locker room moments, found family vibes, and the kind of slow-burn, heart-clenching romance that hits harder than a slapshot.

Thanks for stepping into this world with me. I hope you fall for these characters the way they fall for each other, awkwardly, passionately, and sometimes without warning.

I would love to geth some feedback from you <3
