It takes only one call for Manchester City's own goalkeeper, Louise McKay, to know she has lost her one true anchor. With the deaths of both her parents, she has to find a way to get through life.

For this story, let's assume that Leah Williamson is twenty-one years old. Otherwise, the age gap could be tricky. 
Also, because we live in my fiction world, relationships are always legal, no matter the age. Yeah, that's totally realistic...
And a last thing, the timing in the story may or may not line up perfectly, I can't even remember myself what happens at what time. Just roll with that too!

It All Leads Back to You by _wosowriting_

The past should never be repeated. It was a fact learned through history. Leah Williamson had just closed out the summer of her life. She's been a young captain in charge of leading England to a European win, and she'd done just that. She was someone the nation adored. Danielle Cruz used to be America's sweetheart. That was until she spent a year in rehab and six months in prison. She fell from grace and was now facing the consequences of her fall. Dani was given a second chance by the United States head coach, but is still finding herself falling into old habits. Habits that were caused by a traumatic childhood and painful past. Nervous and trying to find her footing, Dani is taken in by her old club, and has to adjust to the reintroduction she didn't expect. Afterall, she was trying to heal and clean herself up. Questions began to make her spiral. Why wouldn't they help her? Why wouldn't the team that knew her so well try to understand her and who she was? Why wouldn't the one she loved hear her out and maybe even love her again? But in all, the both of them were nervous to face a painful history. History they both loved; history they both wished never happened. History that lead straight back to her.

The Final Swipe by WSLreader

Leah Williamson has always been the rock-on the pitch and off. Captain of England, a cornerstone at Arsenal, and the dependable friend everyone leans on. But lately, being surrounded by couples-Caitlin and Katie, Beth and Viv, even Alex Scott blissfully happy with Jess Glynne-has left Leah feeling like the odd one out. She's happy for them, of course. But watching everyone else in love only sharpens the ache she tries so hard to ignore: she wants someone of her own. Not just anyone, though. Leah's not after quick flings or casual headlines. She wants someone she can spoil, protect, and treat like the most important person in the world. The kind of relationship that feels like home, even in the chaos of stadium lights and tabloids. One evening, over a bottle of wine, Alex urges Leah to do something unthinkable: sign up for a dating app. Leah scoffs-she's always sworn she'd never go near one. Too risky. Too messy. Too... un-Leah. But with Alex insisting and loneliness gnawing, Leah takes the plunge. That's when she meets her. A girl with no ties to football, no idea who Leah Williamson really is, and a smile that makes Leah want to break every rule she's set for herself. What starts as late-night chats and cautious first dates soon becomes something Leah didn't realize she was craving: a chance to be vulnerable, to give herself completely, and to love like she plays-fearlessly and all in. But can a relationship born in secrecy survive under the relentless spotlight? Or will Leah's world-one she's spent years building-threaten to tear apart the one thing she's finally found worth fighting for? 🚨Explicit Content 18+🚨

My captain by mooney86

Breaking Point by wosoLW6AR23

When I landed my dream job as Arsenal's new physiotherapist, I knew I'd be dealing with pressure. What I didn't expect was her. Leah Williamson - captain, England star, and the most stubborn player I've ever met. From the moment we clashed, it's been constant arguments, eye-rolls, and sarcastic remarks. She doesn't trust me, and I can't stand her attitude. But when an injury forces her into my hands, everything changes. Behind the fire and the walls, I start to see the real Leah - vulnerable, protective, and impossible to ignore. One mistake, that's all it takes and both our careers are over. Is she worth the risk and am I willing to take it?

When You See Me by WSLreader

Leah Williamson has always known how to lead-from captaining club and country to keeping her teammates close. But when Mackenzie Hewitt joins Arsenal's first team, Leah finds herself challenged by someone she can't quite read. Quiet, blunt, and obsessively precise, Mackenzie keeps her distance from everyone, speaking only when necessary-and rarely in ways people understand. To most, including Leah, Mackenzie is "weird." Cold. Difficult. What Leah doesn't know is that Mackenzie has Asperger's and severe OCD, diagnoses she hides fiercely to avoid being reduced to labels she's spent her whole life fighting. She just wants to play football and be seen for who she is-not what she has. As frustration turns into fascination, and fascination into something far deeper, Leah finds herself drawn into Mackenzie's carefully ordered world. Through slow adaptations, missed cues, raw confessions, and unexpected tenderness, Leah begins to uncover the real Mackenzie-the one hidden beneath rigid routines and guarded silences. But falling in love with someone like Mackenzie means learning a new language entirely-one of patience, precision, and unspoken truths. And for Mackenzie, love is terrifying in its unpredictability... unless she can learn to trust that Leah wants her-just as she is. 🚨Explicit Content 18+🚨

Hot Off The Press by WSLreader

Leah Williamson doesn't do journalists. To her, they're all the same - relentless, nosey, and willing to twist anything for a headline. She's spent years keeping every reporter at arm's length, never letting any of them see more than the polite smile she wears on camera. Except Amy Perk. Amy is the one exception - the only journalist every footballer seems to love, and the only one Leah can actually stand. Sharp, warm, and annoyingly good at disarming her, Amy has a way of asking the questions Leah never lets anyone close enough to ask. But when Leah becomes entangled in an incident that could derail her career if the press ever finds out, Amy is the last person she should trust - and the only person she wants to. What starts as a cautious friendship begins to blur into something far more dangerous: late-night meetings, stolen glances, and a connection Leah knows could cost them both everything. Now Leah has to decide - protect her secret, or risk it all for the one person she swore she'd never fall for.

Falling for the Captain by Lucy_Keira6

When I signed my contract with Arsenal, I thought my biggest challenge would be proving myself on the pitch. I never expected her. Leah Williamson - the captain of Arsenal and England, the leader, the woman every player looks up to. She's confident, focused, and completely out of my league. Playing for England was okay- I barely had to see her, didn't share a room- didn't really speak. But now, singing for her club im gonna need someone I know and maybe, that will be her. But training sessions turn into late-night talks, glances become touches, and soon, I'm falling - fast. The only problem? Love was never part of the game plan... and in football, one wrong move can cost you everything. Contains mature content🔞!! Only read if you're okay with it!!
