Maddy Collins is used to being watched.
On the ice, she thrives under the lights - winning medals, breaking records, skating flawlessly while the world holds its breath. What she isn't prepared for is the quiet intensity of Alessia Rossi: her rival, her equal, and the one person who never looks away.
Alessia has spent her life under control - by her coach, by expectations, by the ruthless precision of elite sport. She doesn't make room for distractions. Especially not American skaters with soft smiles and too many questions.
But competitions blur into late nights, media days stretch into stolen conversations, and rivalry begins to feel like something else entirely.
Set against the world of international figure skating, Still Watching is a slow-burn sapphic romance about longing, power, and the moments that linger long after the applause fades.
This story is ongoing, with new chapters added every Wednesday and Sunday at 7 pm (UK time).
