Quiet in the Storm by shan_lw6

Holly's world is shifting; between the demands of professional football, a recovering injury, and the relentless storm of online abuse. When Alexia, the team captain, offers unexpected kindness, Holly feels a fragile connection stirring, something unspoken and quietly complicated. But the weight of expectations, the gap between them, and Holly's own fears keep her at a distance. As pressure mounts both on and off the pitch, she must confront her vulnerabilities and decide what it means to be truly seen and whether she's ready to let someone in. In the midst of chaos, can Holly find her own quiet strength?

Fake it till you make it. by san2lolshf0n

On the pitch, Alexia Putellas is a focused and unstoppable force - Barcelona's golden midfielder, a Champions League champion, and a leader her team depends on. Off the field, she's become distant. She's skipping team dinners, dodging group chats, and making excuse after excuse no one quite believes. Her teammates are starting to notice... and whisper. Why did she suddenly move to a new house no one's seen? Who is the quiet woman spotted at her games - always in the first row, always leaving last? As Barcelona fights for glory on the European stage, Alexia is playing her own game behind closed doors - one built on secrets, love, and something much bigger than football. But some victories can't stay hidden forever.

Between the Flags. by justaweirdgingergirl

At twenty-six, Isradora finally has the world at her feet - and yet, she can't shake the feeling that something's missing. Selected for the 2023 World Cup, Isradora returns to the world stage stronger, older, and more determined than ever. But standing across the pitch is the woman she hasn't seen in years - Alexia Putellas. Cold. Distant. Familiar in a way that makes her chest ache. The only thing Isradora remembers from their tangled teenage past is a pair of hazel eyes, a soft accent, and the feeling of being wanted. Now, with the pressure of football, the weight of her past, and her madre back in her life after years apart, Isradora must face the truth she's buried for too long - about the father she lost, the memories she locked away, and the girl who might've never stopped loving her. Because the past always finds a way to return. Especially when it never really left. 25.09.96

The Heart of the Game by justaweirdgingergirl

Lara Wells has never been the loud one. For six years, she's quietly held her place at London City Lionesses, loyal, reliable, and unnoticed beyond the pitch. She's the player you forget to interview but always want on your team. When her younger sister Phoebe convinces her to start a podcast "for fun," Lara expects it to flop after two episodes. Instead, Between the Lines becomes a surprise hit, part football chat, part sisterly chaos. But one offhand comment about elderly people playing walking football spirals into something bigger than either of them imagined. Soon Lara's organising her own "Walking League," a community project for older players at Hayes Lane. What starts as a joke turns into a movement, drawing laughter, crowds, and eventually, the attention of football's brightest star: Alexia Putellas. Lara doesn't expect Alexia to show up at her session, or to bring her mother along to play. She definitely doesn't expect to end up working with her. But as the two women build something new together, Lara starts to realise that maybe her story, on and off the pitch, is only just beginning. A love story about legacy, quiet ambition, and finding connection at your own pace. 08.03.1995
