They've been inseparable since they were seven - Leah, the bold girl with a football at her feet and the world on her shoulders, and her quieter counterpart, the one who always knew when Leah needed a moment of silence more than a speech.

From playground games to national stadiums, failed relationships to milestone moments, their lives have twisted and grown in tandem - but never quite together.

Now in their late twenties, both tired of love that never quite fit, they're still each other's favourite person. And it's enough. It always has been. Until a wedding. A toast. A bottle of wine too many.
And a kiss.

One kiss that starts unravelling everything they thought they knew - about themselves, about each other, and about the years between them.

Told with quiet yearning and slow-burn intimacy, The Years Between Us is a tender exploration of friendship, loyalty, and the kind of love that was always there - just waiting to be seen.

Dirtiest Player In The Game [Leah Williamson] by lockedoutmyprofile

Spencer Atherton was everything Leah Williamson was not. Where Leah was sportsmanship, Spencer was a walking flag of unsportsmanlike conduct and disrespect. Where Leah was hard work and sacrifice, Spencer was laziness and corner cutting. Where Leah was a team player, Spencer was out for number one... A match made in hell, paved with a road of bad intentions. (A good old-fashioned enemies to lovers: Leah X OC)

You Belong With Me by _wosostorys_

Ellie McCabe, the 24-year-old Irish left-back. She's fast, fearless, and fiery-much like her sister, Katie. She's a talented left-back, currently playing for West Ham. She is best friends with the Arsenal's centre-back Leah Williamson. Ellie plays with aggression, picking up 12 yellow cards last season-only two more than her sister. She has a reputation for being tough, but deep down, she's a big softie. Not that she'd ever admit it. Being at West Ham meant facing Leah every day outside the pitch. Leah acts like she doesn't care, like her feelings for Ellie doesn't affect her. But deep down? Leah fell in love with her longtime best friend. She just won't admit it. Ellie tries to focus on football. And then she meets Alexia Putellas. The Barcelona legend's arrival at Arsenal shocks everyone. Ellie and Alexia connect instantly-stolen glances, teasing, a chemistry neither expected. Alexia sees her for who she really is. And for the first time in a long time, Ellie lets herself fall. Leah sees it too. And it drives her crazy. She tells herself it doesn't matter, but every time she sees Ellie with Alexia, it stings. She clenches her jaw, forces a smile, pretends it doesn't hurt. But it does. Leah will not stop fighting for the Girl she loves the most or will Ellie turn her eyes away from the Spanish woman and see who's the right one for her?

Spotlight & Silverware by WSLreader

Fresh from captaining England to their historic Euros victory, Leah Williamson should be revelling in the moment. The parades, the interviews, the celebration at Buckingham Palace-she's the face of a nation's triumph, the captain whose name is on everyone's lips. Ashley West has no intention of being there. A rising star on the West End stage, she's been dragged to the Palace celebrations by her best friend Emma, reluctantly swapping rehearsals and quiet evenings for a world of roaring football fans and champagne flutes. She plans to stay at the edges, unseen, until the night is over. Then, by sheer chance, Leah nearly collides with her outside the Palace gates. A tangle of apologies, a shared laugh, and a glance that lingers far too long for two strangers. Leah is captivated-by Ashley's warmth, by her refusal to be dazzled by fame, by the way she feels like a breath of calm in a night full of chaos. As Leah's world hurtles forward in a whirlwind of media demands and Ashley's in the unforgiving spotlight of the stage, they find themselves meeting in the spaces between-late-night conversations, stolen coffees, quiet corners where the rest of the world can't reach them. But with their lives pulling them in opposite directions, can a footballer bound by the pitch and a performer bound by the stage find a way to write a love story that lasts beyond the final whistle?

Breaking Point by wosoLW6AR23

When I landed my dream job as Arsenal's new physiotherapist, I knew I'd be dealing with pressure. What I didn't expect was her. Leah Williamson - captain, England star, and the most stubborn player I've ever met. From the moment we clashed, it's been constant arguments, eye-rolls, and sarcastic remarks. She doesn't trust me, and I can't stand her attitude. But when an injury forces her into my hands, everything changes. Behind the fire and the walls, I start to see the real Leah - vulnerable, protective, and impossible to ignore. One mistake, that's all it takes and both our careers are over. Is she worth the risk and am I willing to take it?

Unbreakable by _wosostorys_

Jaimee Collins and Leah Williamson The Centre-Backs. Legends for England and Arsenal. Childhood best friends. Jaimee and Leah grew up side by side in Milton Keynes after Jaimee's family relocated there. Their mothers, Ellis and Amanda, became fast friends-just like their daughters. From the moment Jaimee was born, Leah felt an instinctive need to protect her. They shared everything-birthdays, traditions, and dreams. At just six years old, they joined Arsenal's academy together, united by a single goal: to become legends in red and white. At 15, Jaimee signed her first professional contract with Arsenal. A year later, she earned her debut for the Lionesses, forging a path that was both bold and bright. Leah remained devoted to Arsenal too, breaking into the first team at 17 and later donning the England shirt with pride. Over the years, their bond only deepened. Together, they became the heart of Arsenal's defense-commanding, fearless, adored by fans. Two queens. Two icons. One unbreakable friendship. But what if it's more than just friendship? What happens when the lines blur-between loyalty, love, and legacy? Will they remain unbreakable? Or will it break them?

Everyday I'll love you //Williamson by inkedlover

Second book of the story "One Day I'll Have it All" After three years of fiery love, one catastrophic fight shatters the lives of Leah and Valentina, sending them on separate paths neither wanted to walk. With Leah remaining in London, the captain of her beloved Arsenal, and Valentina making a new home in Barcelona, they attempt to rebuild their lives-alone, yet haunted by each other's absence. For Valentina, Barcelona is a fresh start but also a relentless reminder of what she left behind. A city of beauty and promise quickly becomes a hollow shell as guilt, heartbreak, and memories of Leah follow her at every turn. On the pitch, her new teammates see the rising star she's meant to be, but Valentina struggles to connect-to her team, her city, and herself. Leah, on the other hand, buries her heartbreak under a mask of control, her days filled with leadership, matches, and a whisky glass at night. The world sees Arsenal's unshakable captain, but her walls begin to crack as she wrestles with jealousy, unresolved anger, and a love that refuses to fade. As both women navigate the scars of their past, they find their lives intersecting in unexpected ways-through mutual friends, international tournaments, and the cruel irony of a Champions League draw. Old wounds reopen, and unresolved feelings threaten to surface, forcing them to question whether love alone can bridge the growing distance between them.

The Final Swipe by WSLreader

Leah Williamson has always been the rock-on the pitch and off. Captain of England, a cornerstone at Arsenal, and the dependable friend everyone leans on. But lately, being surrounded by couples-Caitlin and Katie, Beth and Viv, even Alex Scott blissfully happy with Jess Glynne-has left Leah feeling like the odd one out. She's happy for them, of course. But watching everyone else in love only sharpens the ache she tries so hard to ignore: she wants someone of her own. Not just anyone, though. Leah's not after quick flings or casual headlines. She wants someone she can spoil, protect, and treat like the most important person in the world. The kind of relationship that feels like home, even in the chaos of stadium lights and tabloids. One evening, over a bottle of wine, Alex urges Leah to do something unthinkable: sign up for a dating app. Leah scoffs-she's always sworn she'd never go near one. Too risky. Too messy. Too... un-Leah. But with Alex insisting and loneliness gnawing, Leah takes the plunge. That's when she meets her. A girl with no ties to football, no idea who Leah Williamson really is, and a smile that makes Leah want to break every rule she's set for herself. What starts as late-night chats and cautious first dates soon becomes something Leah didn't realize she was craving: a chance to be vulnerable, to give herself completely, and to love like she plays-fearlessly and all in. But can a relationship born in secrecy survive under the relentless spotlight? Or will Leah's world-one she's spent years building-threaten to tear apart the one thing she's finally found worth fighting for? 🚨Explicit Content 18+🚨
