I have a collection of thoughts about the overall development and writing of Spelivia's relationship on the series All American (CW and Netflix) that I want to express in a more organized format. Spencer and Olivia had a promising and delicious slow burn from their very first interaction. The audience who rooted for them through every trial and tribulation (there were many) on and off for 7 years had to sit through tons of ~interesting writing choices when it came to the Spelivia relationship. The show, though now on its 8th season with these two characters exiting the series in season 6, still left a lot to be desired for its audience. I want to explore more of my thoughts through this series and give a voice to some of my deeper thoughts and potentially a few unpopular or controversial opinions that are harder to voice on other social media platforms. These are just my personal opinions and reflections for a ship that I am so deeply passionate about and have dedicated an extraordinary amount of brain space for the last 4ish years of my life. I think this would be a healthy way to release it and speak freely. Feel free to leave your thoughts and join me in an honest discussion about this iconic fictional new age teen ship and the writing behind it.

Essence, is about a group of friends who navigate their way to their college life. When they first meet each other on the first day of moving in, they expect that this will be a smooth year as collage freshmen, but what they find out later is that it's not going to be so smooth. With this story, I integrated All American and All American homecoming so I can make this more enjoyable than my other books. This book has romance, drama, and so many twists and so much more to come. Please expect slow chapters because I'm going off to college soon, and I'm not going to have enough time to write chapters so often. I hope you all enjoy this chapter book! Love, Laylaphi2.

They weren't a tragedy of missed timing; they were a masterpiece in the making. What starts as a spark in a crowded high school stadium becomes the echo that follows Spencer James and Olivia Baker through every season of their lives. From the adrenaline of Friday night lights to the quiet gravity of adulthood, they spend years perfecting the art of being everything to each other-except what they need to be. He is built for the spotlight, carrying the weight of a world that demands he never break. She is a canvas of curiosity and color, flowing like water-touching everything, but held by nothing. Yet, in the noise of their changing worlds, she is the dreamer who reminds him there is life beyond the field, and he is the anchor who gives her a home to return to. After years of "almosts," the clock is finally running out on the distance. They realize they were never meant to be each other's firsts; they were learning how to be whole on their own so they can stop being you and me. Until, at last, it was finally us. ************************************************************************************************* Disclaimer: This is a work of fan fiction based on the television series All American.

Spencer and Olivia Baker James make a long-awaited return to their beloved hometown of Los Angeles, California after Spencer's recent decision to retire from the NFL. Though he was grateful for a successful 14-year-long career run, he's ready to give his full attention to his wife and their four children the way he always wanted to but his demanding career wouldn't always allow. They are now parents to four amazing children, three daughters and a son, who truly light up their world in ways they never could've imagined all those years ago when they first bonded over chromosomal DNA. The high school sweethearts feel inspired every day to support their family in the best ways they know how and be a guiding light for them as they help their kids navigate the highs and lows of moving away from the life they've built on the East Coast. Olivia, while noticing the twins having a hard time adjusting to the move from New York, decides to sign the girls up for the Sola Muse Junior Division program that she herself once participated in during her later teen years. Lauren 'Bailey' James and Gianna Corryn James (CJ) grew up in the competitive world of dance, cheer, and gymnastics, but will they be able to navigate starting over with new friendships, new rivalries, and the highs and lows of middle school drama?

A book written by Olivia Baker-James just a lil disclaimer: This book is purely fictional and made for entertainment! It's inspired by the characters and world of the show All American , but events, dialogue, and relationships in this version are completely from my imagination and from ChatGPT .

Behind the picture-perfect smiles and public victories lies a story of two people fighting to protect the bond that made them who they are. From sleepless nights to the heavy weight of careers that constantly demand more, Olivia and Spencer learn that love isn't just about the highs-it's about surviving the lows together. This is a story of passion and sacrifice, of unspoken wounds and unbreakable promises.

A deeply moving, intimate look into what it means to love fiercely and to be loved through the chaos, Scars and Vows reminds us that the strongest marriages aren't perfect-they're fought for.

This was inspired by a one-shot I wrote, so I figured that I'd turn it into a book. Spencer and Olivia were the best of friends growing up, and they were inseparable. They did everything together; they had the same friends, same classes, same routines, and knew each other like the back of their hands. Everything seemed perfect until they parted ways in college. Liv going to Texas while Spencer stayed in California. They haven't seen each other since college, and many things have changed. What happens when Liv comes back to California to help her friend from college while she's sick?

She comes from a family of death, lies, secrets, distrust, crime, and murder. He returned to dismantle everything her family had built. And somehow she found herself helping him along the way.

Olivia's job interview in Crenshaw turns crazy when a violent encounter at the mall leaves her rescuer, Spencer James, badly hurt. She rushes him to the hospital and pretends to be his wife to stay with him during a lockdown. As things get more intense, Olivia's day turns into a fight for survival, revealing secrets that could change her life forever. Don't forget to read all of my other 3 stories!
