In this heartfelt story, Ilona Maher embarks on a new chapter of her life as she steps out of her comfort zone and into the spotlight of Dancing with the Stars. Known for her strength and success in the rugby world, Ilona faces an entirely new challenge as she partners up with professional dancer Alan Bersten. From the very first rehearsal, the two begin to form a bond built on mutual respect, humor, and the shared determination to succeed. As the weeks go by, Ilona and Alan support each other through the highs and lows of their intense training, learning not only the intricate steps of ballroom dance but also about each other's struggles, dreams, and vulnerabilities. Together, they navigate the pressures of public scrutiny, social media fame, and the grueling rehearsal schedule-all while developing a deep, trusting friendship that goes beyond the dance floor. This is a story about stepping into the unknown, pushing through self-doubt, and finding strength in unexpected places. As Ilona and Alan grow together, they discover that their journey is about more than just winning a competition-it's about embracing each other's differences, lifting each other up, and finding support and joy in each other's company along the way.

Just a collection of short Alan and Ilona ideas that pop into my head :)

Just loveing Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten. All for fun and nothing serious. Dont get to caught up on the timelines or logic just enjoy.

We've all read that Ilona and Alan fan fiction on here. I am enjoying it so much, but I also love writing and want to write my own version. In that fan fic the author chooses to not use the celebrities and pros real names to of course not make things weird and what not. I completely understand and respect that writers choice; however, I personally will use real names. For me, that fan fic gets confusing because the names are not the same as the irl names. If Ilona and/or Alan ask me to take this down (or anyone else involved) of course I will respect their wishes. This is purely for fun and I don't know exactly what direction I want this story to take, but I am so excited to share my writing with you all!

"why would a guy like him want a girl like me?"

After a particularly spooky Halloween week, everyone's fave rugby player contends with the post-show blues (and some potential feelings for her partner). Luckily - or unluckily - she might have some help. Contains strong language and sexual content (references/allusions/language).
