In the high-stakes world of college basketball, Nika Muhl and Kate Martin were notorious rivals, their clashes on the court as intense as they were frequent. Their animosity was palpable, their competitive spirits fueling a rivalry that seemed destined to endure. But when fate brings them together on the same professional team, everything changes. Forced to set aside their differences and become teammates, Nika and Kate find themselves navigating uncharted territory. As the only rookies on the squad, they're thrust into a world of shared practices, team events, and cramped quarters, their once bitter rivalry giving way to reluctant cooperation. Yet, as they spend more time together, something unexpected begins to blossom between them. Despite their initial antagonism, Nika and Kate find themselves drawn to each other in ways they never imagined. Through late-night conversations, shared victories, and moments of vulnerability, they begin to see each other in a new light. Could they be something more than just friends?

Harry Potter had a sister. Her name was Claire. Everyone knows the story of the boy who lived. But Harry Potter was not the only child left behind that night in Godric's Hollow. Dragged into a hidden world of spells, secrets, and dangerous wonder, Claire's bond with Harry is tested as she quickly learns that being a witch means more than wands and broomsticks. Her destiny is tangled with her brother's in ways she doesn't yet understand. And while everyone expects Harry to be great, Claire begins to wonder if her path might be far darker. Magic has chosen her. But at what cost? Author note: This isn't officially an xreader story but it's as good as (I just hate writing 'y/n' lol sos). So everyone is more than welcome to imagine themselves as Claire! The love interest for this story is Draco but I want the story to be a lot more than just that. I want you to read and really experience the whole Harry Potter story from a new perspective (very shifting esc). I'm going from year 1 to the battle of Hogwarts so the romance is obviously going to be a slow burn ;) It's childhood enemies to lovers (or whatever I end it as👀). I have a lot of years to play with so their friendship/romance is going to go through a lot. ALSO REMEMBER THE CHARCTERS ARE JUST KIDS. Especially in the first few years. So let's not be weird. Obviously this all depends on your own age too. ANYWAYS I REALLY HOPE YOU ENJOY!!
