Thematildas Stories

You know the drill. The flirty comments. The viral field photos after the bronze game. The epic Polaroid kiss. This is the story of how I imagine it went down with Sam Kerr and Kristie Mewis. Enjoy. ------------- Disclaimer: This story is purely fictional despite it being based off real people. There are elements of mental health struggles and references to not so very nice things surrounding that (sexism, homophobia, racism). This is in no way insinuating that these people have these same issues and responses. These are characters, not the real people themselves and that distinction is very important. Also disclaimer: I watch soccer for the gays, don't come at me for the inaccuracy. I'm trying and I have limited knowledge of the sport and community.

Y/N Y/L/N has been a big fan of the Matildas since she was 5. In fact, it's what got her into football in the first place. It caused her to move to Westfield Sports High School for her last 3 years of study, getting her all kinds of opportunities and even resulting in her getting scouted by the Sydney FC. She had a particular adoration (and maybe crush) for a young blonde Matilda, Ellie Carpenter and was majorly devastated that she joined Westfield Sports High School the year after Ellie graduated even thinking she missed her chance to meet and become friends with Ellie. However, 1 year after graduating, Y/N and her best friend Alycia get a call and find out they've been named to join the Matildas in the 2023 Cup of Nations... then maybe the 2023 FIFA home world cup roster the year after, meaning their dreams came true...and Y/N finally gets to meet Ellie Carpenter. "Oh shit, I'm going to meet Ellie Carpenter." ---- This is a slow burn and will probably last 30 chapters? That's my guess. Started: 21/09/2023 Finished: N/A
