Sue and Diana shared an inexplicable connection in college, a bond filled with unspoken feelings. After playing for the University of Connecticut, they were drafted into the WNBA, playing for different teams and drifting apart. Eighteen years later, their daughters, Nika and Paige, commit to the same college where Sue and Diana's story began. As Nika and Paige's paths intertwine, the invisible strings of the past may shape a love and connection that echoes the one their mothers left unexplored two decades ago. Note: This story has a timeline of its own. So if you see players younger than Nika and Paige being in the same batch as them, just ride with it.

────୨ৎ──── 𝐍𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 ────୨ৎ──── Naomi Muhl, Nika's younger sister, arrives at UConn as a volleyball star and social media sensation, ready to make her mark. Surrounded by fame and expectations, she's convinced she's straight-until she meets Paige Bueckers. As the two grow closer, Naomi can't deny the pull she feels toward Paige, but with her sister's friendship and her own identity on the line, Naomi's struggle becomes impossible to ignore. Tensions rise as Naomi fights her feelings, Paige gets frustrated, and social media adds fuel to the fire. Can Naomi confront the truth before it's too late, or will she risk everything to stay in denial?

Paige Bueckers is the star of UCONN's Women's Basketball team, but even an athlete of her status has to blow off steam somehow... On a very different part of the campus is UCONN journalism student Jovie Evans, who is not an athlete at all. In fact, she couldn't care less about sports. When the two meet in a bar and agree that they could use the outlet of each other sparks fly, but being an athlete with a secret isn't easy and being stuck with Paige Bueckers is even harder. This is a romance/mature story. *There is no coming out plot line to this story because I think queer spaces should be for queer people existing and not solely defined by justifying their existence. * Paige Bueckers is used as inspiration for her character here purely in likeness and stature as a basketball player, everything else about her is made up and imagined for this story, it is in no shape or form a reflection of her behaviour or beliefs. Some other teammates are mentioned by name but used solely for their names and nothing else.
