A realistic take on Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd - built around real moments, real teammates, and the emotional gray areas no one ever talks about. This fanfic follows them during Paige's senior year and Azzi's junior year at UConn, where the lines between best friends and something more have always been blurred.
With old feelings resurfacing and new questions rising, Paige and Azzi find themselves in a quiet crisis - are they really just friends... or have they never been?
This is my version of how I believe their story unfolded - rooted in truth, subtlety, and the moments in between.
All characters are portrayed with how I perceive them in real life, and this story aims to stay grounded in who they are as athletes, teammates, and people. It's not overly dramatized - just my version of what might have been happening in the quiet moments no one else saw.

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.
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
pick your poison; pb
Camilla Fontaine and Paige Bueckers don't talk about the past. Not the friendship that made them untouchable. Not the fight that turned them into strangers. And definitely not the grudge that never really cooled off. But now? They're stuck in the same court, playing for the same team, pretending the silence between them isn't suffocating. The problem is, Paige and Camilla never learned how to stay quiet. Not with each other. Not when every word cuts deeper than it should. Not when no amount of fake smiles can hide the fact that they can't stand each other. Because love and hate? They're just two sides of the same poison.Complete
The Fourth Desire
For Aurora, College life was supposed to mean keeping her head down-just another student in crowded lecture halls, balancing exams with coffee-fueled nights. But everything changes the moment she catches the eye of the campus's most untouchable stars: three unstoppable women who rule the basketball court. They're fierce. They're famous. They're the kind of girls everyone wants but nobody dares to have. And against all odds... they want her. Drawn into their orbit of fame, fire, and temptation, she finds herself questioning every boundary she thought she knew. What starts as curiosity sparks into something deeper-something dangerous. Because falling for one of them would be a scandal. Falling for all three? Unthinkable. But love doesn't play by the rules. And neither do they. Three legends. One ordinary girl. Four hearts tied together in a story that's anything but simple. (THIS IS MY FIRST STORY PLS NO HATE.) YALL PLEASE VOTE AND COMMENT, SUGGESTIONS PLEASE.

✨ Synopsis The year is 2025, and UConn women's basketball is entering a new era. With Paige Bueckers drafted into the WNBA, the torch is passed to Azzi Fudd, now 22, who must embrace her role not only as a star shooter, but as the leader of the Huskies. Around her, a roster stacked with promise: Caroline Ducharme, KK Arnold, Ice Brady, Ashlynn Shade, highly-touted freshman Sarah Strong, powerhouse forward Sarah Williams, and transfer guard Kayleigh Heckel. Expectations are sky-high: a national championship run feels within reach. But everything shifts when a surprise transfer arrives: Alyssa Miller, a 22-year-old with undeniable talent and a sharp edge. From her first practice, she stuns teammates and turns heads. Yet Alyssa carries a secret that could change everything: she is the hidden granddaughter of legendary coach Geno Auriemma. Nobody knows. Not the media. Not the team. Not even Azzi-yet. What begins as rivalry and tension between Azzi and Alyssa slowly transforms into something deeper, hotter, and far more dangerous. With the season on the line, and eyes everywhere, Azzi must balance her responsibility as leader, her growing connection with Alyssa, and the risk of a secret that could unravel the program. In the heat of competition, under the weight of expectations, one truth becomes clear: sometimes love is born under the greatest pressure. Chapter with * = smutComplete
