Esméralda "Esme" Kennedy is a 16-year-old Spanish professional footballer and Barcelona's beloved "princess." Standing at 5'2, she plays midfield with extraordinary control, able to defend, attack, and keep the ball glued to her feet with effortless calm - often compared to a female version of Pedri. Off the pitch she's funny, warm, and famously kind, adored by fans, teammates, and the Spanish national team alike. On the pitch, however, she becomes fiercely competitive and fearless. An only child, Esme grew up under intense pressure from her demanding father, while the loss of her mother to cancer when she was 11 shaped her quiet strength and deep love for football, the place where she feels closest to home.

*short story (maximum 5 parts)* It was never loud. Just something that settled between them, in quiet touches and unfinished moments. Something that almost became real. Until it shifted. And in the space that followed, one choice mattered more than anything else, staying.

From Dublin rain to London lights - they were always each other's home. 🌧️ Story Description Molly Byrne has already lost too much by the time she turns sixteen - her father, both her brothers, and finally her mother. Grief carves her hollow, but one thing remains constant through every storm: Katie McCabe. From FaceTime calls between Australia and Ireland to muddy football pitches in Dublin, Molly and Katie grow up side by side - first as best friends, then as first kisses, first love, first everything. When Molly moves in next door after her father's death, their bond becomes unbreakable. When life takes even more from Molly, Katie becomes her anchor - fierce, protective, and steady in a way the world has never been. As Katie's football talent explodes - rising through Irish youth teams and eventually signing for Arsenal Women - Molly makes a choice of her own. She follows her to London, pursuing physiotherapy so she can build a future in the sport that saved them both. Under stadium lights and London skies, their love deepens - not in chaos, not in breakups, but in quiet loyalty. In shared flats. In late-night kisses after matches. In ice baths and recovery sessions. In Instagram posts from warm-weather training camps and off-season trips with teammates. In laughter with players like Leah Williamson, Vivianne Miedema, and other Arsenal teammates who become part of their extended family. There is no dramatic falling apart. No betrayals. Only two girls who survived everything - and chose each other anyway. Under Every Sky is a sweeping, emotional love story about healing, ambition, chosen family, and the kind of love that grows stronger with every season.

After experiencing the heartbreak of a lifetime, Tippah Jones decides to leave Lyon, and move to Arsenal, in the January transfer window of 2022. The 23-year-old Australian midfielder is ready for a fresh start, away from her ex-girlfriend, Ellie Carpenter, and the pains of heartache. At Arsenal, Tippah's life brightens. She starts playing alongside her fellow Matildas, Steph Cately and Caitlin Foord, and meets new people, including the new English captain, Leah Williamson. However, this new life, for Tippah, isn't always easy. The pain is always there. The anger is always there. But, someone, somehow, is able to make it all better, lighting Tippah up like only Ellie had ever been able to do before. Everything seemed as if it was falling into place. As if the pain allowed for new happiness. But, Tippah's demons run deeper than just a surface level heartbreak. Her pain is not just found in her past, but also her present. Her anger isn't found just in heartbreak, but also addiction. How does Tippah deal with this forthcoming pain? How does her new team help her, including the person she never thought could love her? And, in the end, can pain actually be healed with time? Right Where You Left Me is the second story in the Swiftly Pitched series, showcasing how childhood trauma can translate to adult pains, and that the people around you are the most important, even if you don't believe it at first.
