Chapter 7: Pressures of Fame

Chapter 7: Pressures of Fame

Life for Y/N and Elizabeth was often a delicate balancing act, attempting to navigate the pressures of their demanding careers while trying to maintain a sense of normalcy in their relationship. Despite their deep love for each other, the weight of being in the public eye was beginning to strain them both, pulling at the fabric of their connection. Every day, it felt like they were walking a tightrope, each step uncertain but determined.

Elizabeth was in the midst of her press tour for the latest Marvel movie, attending back-to-back interviews, red carpet events, and managing a busy filming schedule. Meanwhile, Y/N was preparing for another intense season with Orlando Pride and the US Women’s National Team (USWNT). With their careers constantly pulling them in different directions, it was becoming harder to keep up with the growing demands of their relationship. But, despite the physical distance and demanding schedules, they made it a point to stay connected—through late-night video calls, surprise visits, and stolen moments of quiet togetherness.

Y/N’s Soccer Glory

Y/N had just finished another record-breaking match, one that left fans on their feet. Her name was trending across social media for her incredible goal-scoring ability. She had become a sensation in the soccer world, a role model for young athletes everywhere, and she knew her career was only getting bigger with each game. The buzz surrounding her was undeniable—reporters were asking for interviews left and right, and endorsement deals were coming in faster than she could sign them.

She had just scored the game-winning goal in a high-stakes USWNT game against Brazil, and the energy from the crowd was absolutely electric. Her heart raced as the stadium erupted in cheer, her body still buzzing from the adrenaline. But, amidst the roar of the crowd, Y/N’s gaze instinctively searched the stands for one person—Elizabeth. She had hoped, even just for a moment, to catch a glimpse of her wife’s smile, but Elizabeth was miles away, busy with her press tour in London. Y/N smiled wistfully to herself, understanding that this was just the way things were sometimes. Their careers demanded their attention, and it often meant that they were apart when the other needed them most.

But Y/N didn’t mind. She was proud of Elizabeth, even if it meant sacrificing some of the time they could have shared together. She knew Elizabeth was just as proud of her.

Elizabeth’s Marvel Universe

On the other side of the world, Elizabeth was living her own dream. She was at the peak of her career, balancing the demands of interviews, red carpet events, and filming multiple projects all at once. Her portrayal of Wanda Maximoff had not only solidified her place in the entertainment industry but had catapulted her into the hearts of millions of fans around the world. She had achieved everything she had ever dreamed of—but it was exhausting. The long hours, the endless press obligations, and the constant scrutiny of the public eye left little room for personal peace.

More than anything, Elizabeth missed Y/N. She missed the way they would spend hours talking, the way their hands fit together so perfectly, the way their laughter could light up even the darkest days. They made it work, even when it was difficult, but no amount of FaceTime calls could replace the feeling of Y/N next to her, in the same room, holding her hand.

One day, during an interview with a popular tabloid, the reporter asked her a question she had been anticipating, but wasn’t quite prepared to answer.

“You’re very private about your personal life. Is there a reason for that?” the reporter probed.

Elizabeth smiled, her posture perfect, the practiced response rolling off her tongue. “I believe in keeping work and personal life separate. It’s just what works best for me.”
