Jude Jones is not where she thought she'd be. At twenty-something, she's stuck in a grim London pub kitchen that smells faintly of fryer oil and regret, living in a shoebox flat with her overweight dachshund, Taco, and pretending life isn't shit. At some point, through a mix of boredom, poor life choices, and convenience, Jude starts using Alexia's Instagram DMs as a personal notes app. Shopping lists. Recipe ideas. Mild breakdowns. It's easy. It's there. It's not like Alexia Putellas is going to see it. Except she does.

Rue (v.) to bitterly regret or feel remorse for something Beatrice Levine had a legacy. She played her way up through Arsenal's academy and England Youth groups. She'd won trophies, medals, individual awards, the 2022 Euros. And she did it all alongside Leah Williamson. Beatrice was a ray of sunshine - loved by fans and teammates alike. She worked hard and laughed harder. Her shirt was the highest sold women's shirt in the armoury. Her and Leah were known affectionately for their childhood friendship. She went off the 2023 World Cup as vice captain and a promise to Leah that she'd win it for her. And she never came home. Six months of silence. No football, no social media, no contact with anyone. Not even Leah. The news came in January 2024. Beatrice Levine had signed for Benfica. And half a season later, Barcelona put in an offer she couldn't refuse. Back at the top of her game, and with the 2025 Euros fast approaching, there's only so long Beatrice can avoid her old teammates. With her newfound Spanish friends and a mildly aggressive three legged cat, Beatrice must decide if she's ready to return to the life she once left behind.

Ryan Mae Donnelly never planned on leaving Boston. Born and raised there, the Boston College star transfers to UConn with her unmistakable accent, a boyfriend back home, and one goal: basketball. Paige Bueckers is drawn to Ryan almost immediately, but there's one problem-Ryan is taken. So Paige keeps her feelings to herself and settles for becoming one of Ryan's closest friends. Everything changes when Ryan's boyfriend cheats on her, dumps her, and publicly embarrasses her. When everyone else is watching the drama unfold, Paige is the one who stands beside Ryan and refuses to let anyone tear her down. What starts as Paige simply protecting the new transfer slowly becomes something neither of them expected. Because maybe Ryan didn't transfer to UConn just for basketball. Maybe she was always supposed to find Paige, too.
