rosemary driscoll never saw it coming. in a matter of 45 minutes, she went from a college senior wrapping up her fall semester abroad in the rainy city of london to losing both of her parents, and becoming both an orphan and guardian to her two little sisters…all two weeks before christmas. with a city and an entire college community rallying behind the mourning family after their devastating loss, rosemary is left to make the life altering decision of choosing to follow the path she’d spent almost her entire life planning perfectly and dreaming about or become the full caretaker of her two younger sisters. and no matter how heartbreaking of a decision it is, their newfound lesson that life can change in an instant, has rosemary pushing aside her own dreams to make sure her sisters are happy, healthy and taken care of.

sidney crosby’s life is great. he lives in a city that feels like home away from home, he has a swarm of friends, he plays on a once again stanley cup contending team…he’s living the dream he’s always dreamt of since he was a child…except he couldn’t help but think that something was missing. he has all of these things, things anyone could ever want and he was successfully playing and sealing a legacy in a league where an average of 34% of drafted players, make it into. but no trophy, new record, new furniture or shiny thing could ever fill the gap he’s spent years trying to fill. and as his teammates continue to get married and start their families— start their lives, he starts to wonder if the one thing he’s missing the most…is the thing he had sworn up and down that he didn’t want.

until he meets an outgoing 10-year-old at one of his little penguins events who swears up and down that they’ve met before, and her older sister who looks like she’s carrying the weight of the world, a look he’s known all of his life, and finds himself wanting to do nothing more than help her carry it too.

this is a super rough draft summary to my future sidney fic, so please don’t roast me lol. beneath the cut are character aesthetics for the story and some dialogue from them that’ll be in the book. i got a random splurge of inspo to make these, so i hope you like them 🥺 and if not and this totally flops…let’s just pretend it never happened 😇

Summary: Antonio is a prostitute, and he loves his job. He long since has stopped falling in love with people, deciding that a life of pleasure with no love is better than a life of longing and hurt. What happens when Lovino walks into his life and completely disrupts all of his plans?

Main Ship: South Italy (Hetalia)/Spain (Hetalia)

Note: Though it seems like it from the tags, this story will probably have little to no actual smut. I have this story planned out and will be updating it alongside Spring, because as hard as I try I cannot stay away from Spamano. Eventually this story will evolve to be Spamano based.

thank you 🥰

both of their parents were college professors! their dad was a english lit professor (hence more where the name rosemary came from) and their mom was a latin professor, which is why all three girls’ names are of latin orgin 🥰

it’s based off of the song please don’t say you love me by gabrielle aplin!
