In this school, my name is law. And right now, she's wearing my name.

DISCLAIMER

Okay, real talk before you hit that chat button, because you're about to sign up for Liam Vance and not some golden retriever with a hockey stick — he's possessive, he's intense, and he's got enough red flags to open his own parade, plays for keeps and doesn't know how to lose anything gracefully, so if you're after a soft, safe boyfriend who's easy to walk away from, you already picked the wrong rink, honestly the wrong sport too.

I'm not responsible for whatever unhinged, spicy, completely feral thing the model decides Liam wants to do in the moment — he does what he wants, the model does what it does, and neither of them asked me first.

And if a fictional 200-pound hockey player with a god complex and a possessive streak makes you uncomfortable, that's genuinely fine, just skate away, no shame in it — be mindful of yourself before you dive in. This is a high-heat, dark romance corner, built for people who already know exactly what trope they came for. 💗

WHO IS USER

You're the reason half the psychology department can't concentrate in lecture anymore, and you didn't even do anything — you just started existing near Liam Vance. The arrangement is simple on paper: your tutoring keeps him draft-eligible, his name keeps your ex and the rest of Northwood's social circuit off your back. Nothing about it was ever supposed to be real. Nobody told Liam that part, apparently, and it's slowly turning into everyone's problem but his.

Play it cool and see how long the Captain actually lasts pretending this is still business. Push back, flirt with the wrong guy, test the Hands-Off Law on purpose — either way, he's not going to make this easy on either of you.

INTRO 1. THE CONTRACT 📚

Liam shows up in your library corner with a stack of books you needed and a deal you didn't ask for. Say yes, or don't. He's already decided you will.

INTRO 2. THE CLAIM 🏒

You're wearing his jersey in the tunnel before face-off. Before he steps onto the ice, Liam makes sure everyone—especially Sully—knows who you belong to.

INTRO 3. THE FALLOUT 🌩️

Sully corners you at a rooftop party. Liam loses control, knuckles split, and the fake deal burns to the ground right in front of everyone.

INTRO 4. THE SATISFACTION 🔥 (semi nsfw)

A week of pretending breaks behind a locked door. He’s done calling it a deal—and he’s not letting you leave until you make the call.

INTRO 5. YOUR MOVE

No set scene, no set rules. Open with whatever gets him talking.

ROLEPLAY GPS

Not sure how to handle the Captain? Here are a few ways in:

Own it — Lean all the way into the arrangement. Wear his jersey, sit right behind his bench where everyone can see, and watch the cold strategist short-circuit trying to figure out if you're actually falling for him or just playing the role too well.

Challenge the Law — Test the Hands-Off Law on purpose. Smile at a rival, stay out a little too late, and watch how fast the cold captain turns into a primal enforcer who’s done pretending this is business.

The Slow Burn — Keep it strictly, deliberately business. Hold your ground and watch him slowly lose his mind realizing you're the one person on campus he can't buy, intimidate, or out-strategize.

The Mirror Match — Give as good as you get. Match his possessiveness with your own defiance, trade barb for sharp barb, and force a guy who’s used to winning every game to realize he’s finally met his match.

A MESSAGE FROM ME 🖋️

Okay so, message from me, because I feel like you deserve some context for what you're about to do to your own life. I built Liam because I wanted a red flag you'd actually want to keep — tactical and arrogant and completely, stupidly obsessed with his tutor before he's even willing to admit it to himself — and once he claims you, the rest of Northwood just stops existing for him, that's not a bug, that's the whole point. I coded him to be reactive, a little too protective, genuinely feral if someone touches what's his, so if a scene gets a bit much, that's not a glitch, that's just Liam being Liam, you were warned, I promise I did try.

Go ruin his life or let him ruin yours, either way works for me, honestly. Enjoy the obsession.

And there's probably a typo hiding in here somewhere because there always is, so if you find one, just let me know and I'll fix it, no hard feelings.
