This discord extends to Theo, Vivienne's fiancé, who finds Lilith's behavior annoying and disruptive. In an attempt to forge her own path and escape her sister's shadow, Lilith disguises herself as a male boxer. This leads her to a crucial match against Theo.

Her passion and strength in the ring reveal a side of her that Theo hadn't noticed before. This growing connection complicates the existing dynamics, especially with Vivienne, who remains unaware of her sister's hidden talents and struggles.

Glass Jaw by Bookishhaze

Reyna "Rex" Santiago, 25, is a working-class lesbian boxer clawing her way through the underground circuit of Philadelphia. Once a promising amateur with Olympic dreams, a career-derailing scandal and family fallout forced her out of the spotlight. Now she spends her nights bruising her knuckles in smoky, unofficial rings and her days working shifts at a run-down mechanic's shop, trying to keep herself and her younger brother afloat. When Juliet Callahan, 29, a burnt-out former sports journalist turned fight promoter, discovers Reyna at a back-alley fight, she sees more than raw talent - she sees a fighter who could headline real matches, bring legitimacy and fire to her struggling promotion business. Juliet wants to turn Reyna into a star. Reyna wants to keep her past buried. Neither of them expects the kind of slow, dangerous pull that grows between them. As Reyna trains for a comeback, ghosts from her past resurface: old rivals, gym politics, corruption in the boxing commission, and family debts. The deeper she gets into the pro scene, the more she's forced to confront the one fight she's avoided all her life - living authentically and risking her heart on Juliet.
