ONLY CALL IF DESPERATE Amelia Caruso came to Boston for a fresh start. A new job. A new city. A chance to build a life that belongs to her-not to her famous father, her professional-athlete brothers, or anyone else. The only problem? Her first night in Boston goes completely wrong. With nowhere to stay and a cat in tow, Amelia is forced to use the emergency number her twin brother gave her before she left Chicago. Mason Hayes. Boston Royals star. Her brother's former teammate and closest friend. And, according to Antonio, the last person she should ever get involved with. Not that Amelia plans to. Mason gives her the empty Back House behind the bar he owns and tells her she can stay until she finds somewhere else. It's supposed to be temporary. Easy. Especially since Mason is rarely there. Until suddenly he is. Now, the man Amelia was specifically warned about is living a little too close, reading over her shoulder at the worst possible moments, making himself at home beside her cat, and slowly becoming part of the life she came to Boston to build on her own. And Mason Hayes might be famous for a lot of things. Falling in love has never been one of them.

AO ASHI: LEGACY Fan-made continuation - written with respect and love for the original. Ashito Aoi has finally achieved what he chased for years: his first professional contract with Tokyo City Esperion. But dreams look different from the inside. The teammates he once admired are now rivals for minutes. The pitch feels faster, heavier. And the silence of the first team is louder than any crowd. With Garulla watching from the sidelines, Fukuda evaluating every touch, and Shiba guiding him from the shadows, Ashito must learn to survive in the place he longed for. Meanwhile, whispers follow the locker room walls- Kuribayashi may be leaving for Europe. Yuma is determined not to be left behind. Akutsu expects nothing less than perfection. And Hana, far away in Switzerland, remains a warmth he can't quite hold. This is the story of what comes after the dream begins: the weight, the fear, the growth, the quiet endurance. Ao Ashi: Legacy is a non-official, non-profit fan project inspired by Yūgo Kobayashi's Ao Ashi. All original characters, teams and elements belong to their respective owners. This story is shared freely, out of admiration for the original work.
