Professional footballer Morgan Porter has just suffered the biggest disappointment of her career. Exhausted by the spotlight and craving peace, she escapes London for a quiet retreat in Devon-only to stumble upon something she never expected: hope. When she literally crosses paths with Ellie Whitmore, a compassionate nurse with deep local roots, their worlds collide in a burst of awkward encounters, cozy seaside walks, and an instant emotional spark.

But as Morgan's three-week break nears its end, both women have to face reality. Ellie is tethered to her family and the hospital that relies on her, while Morgan's life is defined by high-profile matches and media scrutiny. Navigating the gap between a bustling city career and a small-town calling forces them to confront lingering fears, outside pressures, and a daunting question: Are love and trust enough to overcome the challenges of distance and fame?All Rights Reserved

Returning to Her by kayladarose

When Sienna Le Tissier secures a loan move to Arsenal from Manchester City, she knows she's stepping into unfamiliar territory-but nothing could prepare her for facing Alessia Russo again. Once the love of her life, Alessia never knew the real reason Sienna walked away. Struggling with her mental health, Sienna had convinced herself that leaving was the only way to protect Alessia, even if it meant breaking her heart. Now, forced to share a dressing room and the pitch, tensions rise as old wounds resurface. Alessia still feels the sting of abandonment, while Sienna battles the guilt of a truth she never had the courage to share. As they navigate their new reality, unresolved emotions and lingering feelings threaten to pull them back together-or break them apart for good. With Arsenal chasing silverware and the past refusing to stay buried, will Sienna finally open up about what really happened? Or is it too late for a second chance?

Shadows and Strength by kayladarose

In the heart of a season marked by change, Leah Williamson and Astrid Miedema find their worlds colliding in unexpected ways. Leah, a stoic leader known for her quiet strength, has spent years building walls around her heart, unwilling to let anyone in after a painful heartbreak. Astrid, on the other hand, is a fighter who's spent her life in the shadow of expectations and a strained family dynamic. Both women are marked by their pasts-Leah by the weight of lost trust and Astrid by a yearning for connection she's never fully embraced. When Astrid moves on loan to Arsenal, seeking both a fresh start and a chance to prove herself beyond her sister Vivianne's shadow, she's drawn into Leah's world-an environment where loyalty, honesty, and unspoken understanding are everything. At first, they seem like opposites: Leah, composed and unflappable; Astrid, sharp and guarded, hiding her vulnerabilities behind a confident façade. But as they spend more time together, their mutual respect turns into something deeper. Leah sees in Astrid a kindred spirit-a fighter, someone who knows what it's like to carry the weight of the world on her shoulders. Astrid, in turn, is captivated by Leah's unwavering commitment to her team and the quiet strength she exudes. Slowly, walls begin to crumble. Leah's fear of letting someone in fades as she begins to trust Astrid in ways she never thought possible. Astrid's emotional defenses begin to soften as Leah offers her a sense of stability and warmth she's never known. Together, they embark on a journey of healing and rediscovery-of learning to love not just each other, but themselves. In each other, they find a refuge from their pasts, and a future they never expected. Their love story is one of growth, vulnerability, and the courage to trust again, as they navigate the challenges of both football and life, learning that sometimes the most beautiful connections come from the most unlikely places.

rory has everything-money, beauty, brains, and talent. at just fourteen, she's already a rising star at arsenal's u17 academy, with dreams of playing for the first team and the lionesses. she's the kind of girl who shines on and off the pitch, always smiling, always pushing forward. but behind the perfect image is a girl who's had to raise herself. the daughter of a top ceo and a fashion designer, rory has never known what it's like to be truly seen by her parents. they provide everything-except love. their absence, their coldness, their indifference-it's all she's ever known. so rory has learned to be her own light. she pours everything into football, into school, into becoming something worth noticing. and then, one evening after training, jonas eidevall, arsenal's first-team manager, tells her he wants her to train with the senior squad. just like that, her dream inches closer to reality. but as rory steps into a world where talent is only half the battle, where pressure builds and expectations rise, she must navigate more than just the game. because being a star on the pitch is easy. but learning to let people in? learning that she is enough, even without proving herself? that might be the hardest thing she's ever had to do. 🥇 arsenal 🥇 woso 🥇 womensfootball 🥇 lionesses 🥇 viviannemiedema 🥇 stephcatley 🥇 gunners 🥇 bethmead

But with greatness comes sacrifice, and the question looms: will they risk everything they've worked for-their dreams, their reputations, and the game they love-for the chance at love? Or will their relentless drive to remain at the top force them to choose ambition over each other, risking it all crumbling under the weight of their desires? [Alexia x OC]

Control the chaos // McCabe by inkedlover

Alexia Mercier thrives on precision. As a world-class goalkeeper, she's built her career on focus, discipline, and an unyielding need for control. But when she transfers to Arsenal, the electrifying energy of her new team-and their larger-than-life personalities-threatens to disrupt her carefully maintained calm. Thrown into a squad as dynamic off the pitch as they are on it, Alexia struggles to adapt to a world of constant noise, relentless camaraderie, and a pressure to not just play but also connect. Her fiery new teammate, Katie McCabe, is the embodiment of that chaos-unpredictable, bold, and utterly unapologetic. As Alexia tries to find balance in a world that thrives on spontaneity, she'll discover that sometimes, losing control might be the key to finding what really matters.
