What would happen if Nic and Olandria had chose to ignore the guilt and instead be selfish after their steamy, life-altering kiss in Soul Ties? Nic & Olandria navigate their new relationship while handling the fallout of their surprising connection during Casa. Emotions and attraction take centerfold in this messy and exhilarating take on a different timeline on Love Island Season 7.

Our favorite couple from love island season 7. Only this time in an alternate universe where Nic is a famous F1 racer and Olandria is a female mechanic who's worked her way up from small town Alabama to chase her dreams. With a protective streak a mile wide will Olandria let class clown, playboy Nic into her heart, mind and soul? That would be a yes if Nic has anything to say about it. (Also on A03)

Nic & O had just gotten off the high that was season 7 love island USA. Everything seemed to be taking off, they had amazing friends, their careers were skyrocketing, but above all that, they had each other. A few years later, they welcome a set of twin baby girls and life seemed to hit an all time high- but every peak has a valley, and they part ways, each taking one twin. 10 years later, living on opposite ends of the world, Stevie and Shea meet at a summer camp and learn a secret that will forever change the course of their lives. They decide to brave a mission of no return: get their parents back together. This is, for any and all reasons, a #joke!! The parent trap is one of my favorite movies of all time, and I wondered what a nicolandria equivalent would look like! Obviously these characters and scenarios are all made up and are in no way true y'all so don't take everything literally!! I also am aware of recent developments as to other *ahem* characters in this story, but for my sake, the stories sake, and all of yours, lets pretend that never happened and all our characters are a tight knit group w no drama (ofc other than the one in the story). Without further ado, I hope you enjoy!! *also published on ao3*

Nic and Olandria decided to go back to the villa as a couple. Will they let themselves free fall into each other?

Nic and Olandria since the first day they arrived at the villa have had a connection but with all the things in there way it seems that they should just leave it as friends... but can they? Even when they pushed down their feelings

After the cameras stopped rolling, the real story began. Nic and Olandria didn't win the show-but they found something deeper: a spark that couldn't be edited out. Now, reunited outside the villa, the two fan-favorites are finally exploring what the world kept hinting at... if they're brave enough to choose each other. But not everyone is rooting for their happiness. As old flames stir online drama and unexpected truths from the past come to light, Nic and Olandria must navigate public pressure, personal insecurities, and what it really means to love beyond the spotlight. Told over six steamy, heartfelt chapters-with appearances by real-life besties Ace & Chelley-this story dives into vulnerability, healing, and the kind of love that finds you when you're finally ready.

She's beautiful, smart, with a big and warm heart...Is that enough for him? Or does he want something more, something different? He's beautiful, smart, with a big and warm heart, but perhaps not secure enough. Is that a risk she's willing to take? Or does she want something safer, more than just being an option? I came in like a wrecking ball I never hit so hard in love All I wanted was to break your walls All you ever did was... Love Island USA 2024 (Fem OC & Kordell Beckham)

Inspired by Season 7 of Love Islanda USA contestants, Olandria and Nic. She was a girl. And he was a boy. Can I make it anymore obvious? He was a basketball player. And she was a straight-A student. What more can I say? A lot. In her senior year of high school, Olandria is ripped from everything she knows in Decatur, Alabama, and forced to start over in Jacksonville, Florida. Her goal for the school year is simple: avoid the drama and graduate quietly. But that plan unravels the moment she meets Nic-the school jokester and star point guard with a clingy girlfriend (situationship?). When she starts her own tutoring business, Nic becomes her first client, and she discovers there's more behind his cheeky smile and wayward ways. He might even be...wait....no. This is not the plan. Will she shut down the budding romance to keep her promise of staying under the radar, or will she betray her better judgment and fall for the school jokester? Perhaps the oldest daughter might finally choose herself.

Nic had her backed against the wall without meaning to, every inch between them a battlefield. His hands flexed uselessly at his sides, wanting-needing-to touch, but not daring. The closeness was a slow burn, the kind that took him apart molecule by molecule. She tilted her chin up, eyes searching his, and he thought, if she leans in even a fraction, I'm gone. ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ Olandria came to Love Island for exactly what the name promised - love. The villa is sun-soaked and electric, full of new faces and endless possibility. And then there's Nic: quiet confidence, steady charm, and a gaze that feels just a little too knowing. Every challenge, laugh, and stolen glance adds another layer to the pull between them. In a place where nothing stays simple for long, Olandria must navigate the sparks, the first impressions that won't fade, and the question that drives every Islander: who is worth the risk?
