Love and Touchdowns (OCxKylieJenner)
Laken Maleko has spent her life being told she doesn't fit. Too much. Not enough. Wrong lane. Wrong box. She never listened. In her Samoan family, Laken's intersex identity was never a flaw. It was a blessing. A sign of balance. Of strength. Of being touched by the gods. She was raised with discipline by her football-playing father and grounded by her culture, taught to stand tall in who she is long before the world tried to tell her otherwise. From the islands of Hawaiʻi to the heart of UCLA football, Laken carved her own path. As the first intersex woman to play men's college football, she didn't ask for permission. She showed up, did the work, and let her performance speak. Now the NFL Draft is approaching, and history is no longer distant. Laken is on the edge of becoming the first intersex woman selected in the first round. Every rep matters. Every moment counts. The pressure is heavy, especially when the outside world sees her identity as controversy instead of truth. Then there's Kylie Jenner. Public life, private contradictions, and a connection neither of them planned for. What begins as proximity turns into something harder to ignore. But attraction gets complicated when one of you lives under constant scrutiny and the other is protecting everything she's built. Love and Touchdowns is not a fairytale. It's a story about identity, ambition, culture, and desire. About carrying pride without apology. About choosing yourself without closing your heart. And about what happens when the life you were raised to honor collides with the one the world refuses to understand.Complete

. *. ⋆ Simone Adler was 23 years old when she decided she'd do all she could to help bring the war to an end- to do that, she studied and trained for hours a day, multiple days a week, her efforts being given to becoming a nurse. A flight nurse, specifically, where she'd be on board with the men, aiding them when needed, her skills there to help save lives that would be lost if she weren't on board. Through this process, Simone met the men she would be stationed with, being those of the 100th Bomb Group. They all seemed okay in Simone's opinion- except for one, that is. John D. Brady, the bane of her existence- he was insufferable, always cranky, and for some reason hated her before she could even have a real conversation with him. The hatred was mutual, of course- however, the hatred was quick to morph into something different, something more friendly after the two encountered near-death situations. It was something that resembled love- something that was love, and it was so very clearly the one thing that was destined to save them in the end.
