Some love stories begin with fireworks. Theirs begins with quiet moments. 𝑃𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑝𝑒 has always been the one standing just outside the spotlight-observant, dependable, and carrying more responsibility than anyone realizes. After years spent worrying about the people she loves, she's convinced that keeping her own feelings hidden is the safest choice. 𝐶𝑎𝑜𝑖𝑚ℎ𝑒 has mastered the art of pretending she's fine. Behind her sharp wit and effortless confidence is a girl desperate for control, haunted by battles she refuses to let anyone see. When an unexpected friendship slowly becomes something deeper, the two girls discover a kind of happiness neither of them believed was possible. Stolen glances turn into late-night conversations, shared laughter becomes quiet comfort, and secret moments begin to feel like home. But love isn't simple in a town where everyone knows everyone else. Because sometimes the greatest love stories aren't about finding the right person. They're about becoming the person brave enough to love them back. Fem OC x Fem OC Start: 07-11-26 End: Tbd

Some people leave without ever really letting go. Two years after disappearing from Ballylaggin, Eleanor Biggs returns carrying more than anyone can see. She's louder now, sharper, quicker with a joke or a cutting remark, and she's become an expert at convincing everyone she's fine. After all, pretending to be normal is easier than admitting she's falling apart. Everyone believes the version of Eleanor she wants them to see. Everyone except Rory Kavanagh. Rory has spent his whole life trying to escape the weight of his family name, searching for a future that's his own instead of one chosen for him. To everyone else, he'll always be another Kavanagh. But Eleanor has never looked at him that way. She sees the quiet boy beneath the expectations, the one no one else seems to notice. He remembers the girl she used to be. She remembers the boy no one else ever saw. The problem is that love doesn't erase time, and it can't heal wounds that were never allowed to close. As old feelings begin to resurface, Rory finds himself fighting for someone determined to push him away, while Eleanor is convinced that loving her only means getting hurt. The closer he gets, the harder she tries to disappear behind the mask she's built for herself. She's trying not to drown. He's trying not to lose her again. In a town where everyone has already decided who they should be, Rory and Eleanor must decide whether the pieces they left unfinished are worth finding again-or whether some stories are meant to remain exactly that. Messy. Honest. Unfinished. Mae oc x Fem oc start: 07-23-26 end: Tbd

Cara Lynch has never believed in happy endings. Growing up with an alcoholic father and a family that's falling apart, she's learned to rely on one thing and one thing only-rugby. It's where she feels strongest, where the world finally goes quiet. Iris Gibson hides her pain behind an easy smile. She spends her days helping in her mam's bakery, playing rugby, and pretending the past can't reach her. No one knows the truth about the family she's desperate to escape. When Cara and Iris meet on opposite sides of the rugby pitch, sparks fly-and not the good kind. A brutal match ignites a rivalry neither of them can shake. But as the season unfolds, stolen glances become secret meetings, and hatred slowly gives way to something neither girl saw coming. With rival teams, painful pasts, and a relationship that has to stay hidden, Cara and Iris must decide whether love is worth risking everything they've ever known.
