Maybe that thing you said under your breath, you mean it. Nika Mühl x Fem OC.

When Nika Falls is a story of music, heartbreak, and the moments that define us. Nika Muhl has always lived her life on her own terms - fierce, independent, and unapologetically herself. But when a chance encounter shakes her world, she finds herself pulled into a story she never imagined. A story where vulnerability is the greatest risk, and falling isn't the end - it's the beginning. As Nika navigates love, loss, and the shadows of her past, she discovers that strength isn't found in standing tall alone, but in letting someone hold you when you fall. A fanfic that blends raw emotion, music, and the power of second chances, When Nika Falls is a journey of heart, courage, and the beauty of finding yourself when everything changes.

Siren Sounds is a slow-burn romance that pulses with quiet intensity, following the journey of two teammates bound by unspoken tension and undeniable pull. Nika Mühl, fierce on the court and guarded off it, has always relied on discipline and control to navigate her world. Emily Brown, with her warmth, sharp wit, and unshakable presence, slips past those walls in ways Nika never expected. What begins as fleeting glances and playful banter grows into something heavier-moments that linger long after practices end, the sound of each other's voices echoing like sirens in the back of their minds. But with their careers, friendships, and reputations at stake, neither dares to name what's unfolding between them. Through late-night conversations, subtle gestures, and the ache of closeness just out of reach, Siren Sounds captures the longing, hesitation, and eventual surrender of two people who realize that sometimes the heart's pull is louder than the noise around them.

Responsibilities-pressed together by someone always nearby, by constant nudges forward, by a camp that never really gives them space to be alone... or apart. For Nika, the pressure comes from everywhere: being watched, being responsible, and being stuck with Kate-the too-warm, too-likable, and relentlessly cheerful rival tied to years of college competition. Someone she's been trained to guard, to read, to shut down. Someone she knows how to keep in front of her. Until defense wasn't just strategy anymore-it was a shield she raised to keep her heart from getting too close. For Kate, it's quieter but heavier. Nika's presence lingers in the small moments: shared silence, deliberate closeness, late nights no camera ever catches. She's spent years learning how to break through defenses like Nika's-how to cut, how to draw fouls, how to force openings. What she wasn't prepared for was realizing she didn't have to drive past her anymore-for once, she could let the rivalry go, let herself stay. She didn't realize she was breaking through a different kind of defense now, one that wasn't drawn on a court, one Nika had built carefully around her heart, until it was already too late to pull back. Time slips by. Days blur. Feelings stack up. That's the full-court press. Not a game-but the constant closeness, the lack of escape, the emotional pressure of being pushed toward someone you're meant to compete against, not fall for. Full-Court Pressed is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers summer romance about what happens when college rivalry doesn't end at the buzzer-when you're pressed from all sides by proximity, history, scheming teammates, and unstoppable little ones, on camera, off camera, and in the quiet spaces where feelings grow whether you're ready for them or not.
