Azzi Fudd and Paige Bueckers have been inseparable since they were five years old, growing up as best friends and basketball prodigies in a small, conservative town. Now high school sophomores and stars of the girls' varsity team at St. Agnes Academy, their bond deepens into something more-but they're forced to hide it from their deeply homophobic parents and judgmental community. As longing glances, secret texts, and stolen moments build into something undeniable, Azzi and Paige must navigate the pressures of teenage life, the intensity of their growing feelings, and the risks of being true to themselves in a world that won't accept them. Surrounded by friends, rivals, and the ever-present threat of exposure, their slow-burn romance simmers with tension, yearning, and a love they were never supposed to have.

Beyond the Arc: From Jerseys to Jealousy
They were best friends. Until they weren't. Secrets were never a thing between them. Nothing was too personal, too embarrassing, or too sad. They told each other everything-except one thing. The one thing that could ruin everything. The one thing they were both hiding. They supported each other through everything: the games, the injuries, the press, the other crushes, the people they were supposed to want-but didn't. So the question becomes: Who breaks first? And what happens after they do? This book follows the dynamic between Paige and Azzi as it shifts from playful comfort to complicated closeness. The glances. The tension. The almosts. The what-ifs. The lingering something they've carried since Team USA-unspoken, but always there. Tune in to see how their feelings unfold, evolve, and change everything.
Only you
Before the championships, before UConn, before marriage and baby Harper-there was 2017. Paige Bueckers, 15, and Azzi Fudd, 14, were two of the brightest young stars in women's basketball, thrown together on Team USA's U16 squad. The problem? They couldn't stand each other. Paige thought Azzi was too serious, too polished, too perfect. Azzi thought Paige was cocky, loud, and reckless. But traveling the world together meant there was no escape. Through long practices, curfews, bus rides, and the pressure of wearing red, white, and blue, their rivalry slowly began to shift. Enemies became teammates. Teammates became friends. And maybe-just maybe-something deeper was already burning between them, even if they didn't have words for it yet.
Between you and me
(AU) It was easy to hate Azzi Fudd, as Paige Bueckers had said, but it was easier falling for her dimples and deep brown eyes that always sees right through her. They were supposed to be rivals, enemies but Paige found herself in between falling and being in love with her when the 5'11 shooting guard decided to transfer to UConn.
Unspoken | Azzi Fudd
Azzi Fudd is quiet, serious, and laser-focused on basketball. Grace, her outgoing and magnetic best friend, is the light in every room-funny, warm, and effortlessly charming. They've been inseparable for years, but Azzi's been hiding one thing: she's in love with Grace. Grace, always the life of the party, has never let anyone in too deep-especially not romantically. But when the season heats up and the pressure mounts, the lines between friendship and something more begin to blur. Glances linger. Touches spark. And neither of them can deny the tension building between them. As media attention grows and emotions run high, Azzi and Grace must face what's been unspoken for far too long: are they just best friends, or have they always been something more?Complete
More than Best Friends? ~ Pazzi
Is there more to Paige and Azzi's friendship then everyone thinks? *I'm not assuming anything. This is all fictional. I will also not be writing any smut in respect to them, but there will be kissing and hickies and stuff* (Also any comments about them that go too far I will be removing. This is all for fun and fictional. I am not trying to force anything or speculate anything. So please leave respectful comments) Thanks @macdemarcoloverr for the ideaComplete

Still Here ~ Paige Buckers ~
When Zoe, a quick-witted, sharp-tongued girl living with cystic fibrosis meets basketball star Paige Bueckers, the last thing she expects is for Paige to stay. Zoe copes with sarcasm while Paige balances high-pressure basketball with being the kind of steady presence Zoe never knew she needed. Their story isn't about dramatic confessions or perfect timing, it's about the softness in showing up, the strength in staying, and the rare, quiet kind of love that holds on even when everything else feels like it's slipping away. "When I breathe, she stays. And when I can't, she holds on tighter."Complete
call it what you want-paige bueckers
They met as neighbors. Became something more over smoothies, secrets, and stolen glances. Paige Bueckers is the freshly drafted face of the Dallas Wings - smart, calm under pressure, and not exactly expecting to fall for anyone this summer. Avery Bennett is new to town, a former Alabama cheerleader with a ballet background, a quiet Instagram presence, and a job she doesn't talk about yet. She's also fiercely private, fiercely kind, and very much not into coffee. But when a chance meeting at a coffee shop leads to unexpected connection, what follows is a summer of slow-burning moments, late-night texts, and two girls trying to figure out how to let someone in - when the world is always watching. A tender, emotional, strangers-to-lovers romance set against the backdrop of Dallas heat, basketball games, friendship, and the kind of love that's more soft than loud - but hits just as hard.Complete
