Au where Ilona doesn't play rugby and is a nurse and Alan gets injured during rehearsals.

a collection of short stories/oneshots about ilona maher and alan bersten

This story is my way of finding closure after the show's end-of capturing the unspoken, the unresolved, and turning it into something beautiful. Two unlikely friends-a fierce rugby player and a poised ballroom dancer-forge a deep bond on a reality TV show. As their connection grows, so does the tension between what they feel and what they can admit. When life pulls them apart, they must face the love they've always been too afraid to acknowledge. A story of longing, heartache, and the quiet truths we carry in the moments between goodbye.

Enola's an Olympic rugby winner joining a dance competition. She wins over America, along with some unsuspecting characters along the way.

Ilona Maher x Alan Bersten (fictionalized lol) Ilona is a rugby phenom, Olympic medalist, and viral internet star - a woman who's found success everywhere but in love. Her latest challenge is a reality dance competition where she'll twirl and finesse her way into our hearts (*especially the one belonging to one particular pro dancer.)

"i miss the warmth of your presence and the way everything feels brighter when you're around." "yeah?" "yeah."
