In the wake of the storm, some wounds take longer to heal.

Leah and Charlotte have come a long way since the birth of their son, Finley; but the road to recovery is never as simple as it seems. As they navigate the delicate dance of co-parenting, Leah struggles to find a balance between being the strong, steady mother she's become and the woman she used to be. Meanwhile, Charlotte fights her way back from the shadows of postnatal depression, desperate to be the partner and mother she knows she can be, but haunted by self-doubt and the weight of past mistakes.

Together, they must rebuild their bond, learning to trust each other again, even when old fears and insecurities threaten to tear them apart. As they face the trials of new parenthood, the spark that once bound them, both the romance and the music, seems distant, flickering like a song lost in the static. Yet, in the quiet moments, the soft lullabies of their son offer a gentle reminder: the healing process is messy, but love, much like a song, is always worth finding.

With vulnerability and courage, they step into the unknown, determined to rediscover not just their love for each other, but the rhythm of their new life together.

Who Scores First by kayladarose
46 parts Complete
She never planned to fall. But some things can't be outrun forever. Willow doesn't believe in love. Not after what she's been through. When she signs with Arsenal, it's supposed to be a new beginning-a chance to focus on football, on healing, and on finally reuniting with her best friend, Alessia Russo. The two have always shared everything... until Leah Williamson steps in. Strong. Steady. Impossible to ignore. Leah sees through Willow's walls in ways no one else ever has. But so does Alessia-and the lines between friendship, loyalty, and something more begin to blur. As Willow rises on the pitch, the pressure builds off it. Her past is still chasing her, and love was never part of the plan. Especially not when hearts are on the line-and two of them belong to the people she trusts most. Can Willow outrun what haunts her? Or will love find her in the one place she never thought to look-right at her feet? And no matter who she chooses-someone's going to get hurt. Including her.
