A. A. Mac Writes

Hi, I'm A.A. Mac and I like reading queer hockey smut romance, so I decided to write it! You can find me various places here.

Scoring Plays

my planned 9-book queer hockey romance series posted for free(!) to AO3. Three have been released so far:

Home and Away - teammates/roommates to lovers, former one-night stands, divorced dad, bed sharing to cure insomnia, Thanksgiving food as love language

Crosstown Rivalry - second chance, former AHL teammates, hurt/comfort, rival New York teams, (poorly) processing emotions through hockey fights

Comeback - black cat x golden retriever, hurt/comfort, found family, the best/worst rescue dog

Short stories and bonus scenes in the Scoring Plays universe can be found here

Schroeder's blue eyes widened before he was able to school his expression back into something like pleasantly neutral.

Not my one night stand from a year ago is now my teammate shocked. Which meant he was doing a hell of a lot better than Joey was.

Whitty never texted back. Never called. Never contacted Shawn.

Not until five years later, after an NHL game during which Shawn had definitely punched him in the face, when he sent: this isn't how you used to play.

Well, despite the secrets he was keeping from most of the world, Markus was a blunt, nosy bitch. Just ask Adam and Shawn. “So why are you here?” Here, as in Connecticut. Here, as in at this tiny practice rink. Here, as in the AHL.

“Trying for a comeback, baby,” Frost said with a grin. He jogged past Markus out onto the ice. There seemed to be a slight stutter to his stride, but maybe Markus was just imagining it. He followed, heart still pounding and breathing still shallow.
