Avery van der Nacht, a UConn commit for women's basketball and the symphony orchestra, is a dominant center who plays upright bass. Fully deaf in her right ear and reliant on a hearing aid, she also has severe selective mutism-only speaking to her sister Lena and Lena's girlfriend, Hana Muhl. Half Dutch, half Croatian, Avery grew up moving from the Netherlands to Atlanta, while keeping strong ties to both cultures. A marine biology major and music performance minor, she had full-ride offers from schools like Harvard, Yale, Stanford, UConn, Duke, U-M, MSU, Princeton, Dartmouth, Brown University, and UGA, before choosing UConn. Now, as she steps into college, Avery will form an unexpected friendship with Azzi Fudd-but how does someone who barely speaks learn to be heard?

But I'm never gonna let you down. Nika Mühl x Fem OC.

When Tate Valenti - UConn volleyball's rising star - adopts a golden retriever with abandonment issues and an appetite for socks, the last person she expects to get wrapped up with is Nika Mhül, UConn basketball phenom with a dangerous smile and a guarded heart. What starts as harmless banter and dog-walking turns into flirty texts, hoodie theft, and one inconvenient truth: Tate might be falling. Nika's past is a hurricane. Tate's still learning how to swim. But storm season's coming, and neither of them are backing down.

Nika Muhl lives and breathes basketball. As UConn's fiery and determined point guard, she's used to pressure, focus, and the thrill of the game. But when Emma, a charming and enigmatic new assistant trainer, joins the team, Nika's carefully controlled world begins to unravel in unexpected ways. What starts as a spark of curiosity soon grows into something deeper, as Nika and Emma navigate stolen moments and unspoken tension amidst the chaos of college athletics. With the championship season looming, Nika must balance the weight of her team's expectations with the vulnerability of falling for someone who challenges her in ways she's never experienced. Set against the high stakes of competitive basketball, Baseline Hearts is a story of passion, courage, and the undeniable pull of love-both on and off the court.

Love is love. Until the world wants you to break. This story is completely fictional. This doesn't correlate to real life. I deleted my first story and starting over with it here. I wanted to add things and take things out.
