She plays by the rules. He plays with fire. Together, they might just change the game.
Rising tennis star Madison Federer has spent her life chasing perfection-on the court and off, trying to get out of her Father's shadow. Focused, disciplined, and determined to win her second Grand Slam, there's no room for distractions. Especially not Ben Shelton, the electrifying American powerhouse known as much for his charm as his killer serve.
When they're unexpectedly paired for mixed doubles at the 2025 Australian Open, sparks fly-both in competition and in chemistry. As they battle rivals and media frenzy, Madison finds herself torn between the career she's built and the connection she never saw coming.
Is love just another risky play-or could it be the ace she never knew she needed?

Crossed Lines || Jannik Sinner
Ariana Alcaraz has spent her entire life in the shadow of her twin brother, Carlos-the golden boy of tennis. But at this year's US Open, she's not just here to win matches. She's here to prove she belongs. To the world. To herself. And maybe... to one very distracting Italian across the net. Jannik Sinner is Carlos's fiercest rival and still a good friend, depending on the day. But when it comes to Ariana, lines blur and rules bend. He teases, he flirts-but it's all harmless... right? Carlos doesn't think so. And he's not about to let his friend break his sister's heart-or ruin their bond on and off the court. But Ariana isn't a little sister anymore. She's got a killer backhand, a championship mindset, and a heart that just might risk everything-even if it means love could be the hardest match of all. Started: 18.7.25 Finished: 28.7.25 Fiction!

Matchpoint
You fill me with such rage, such competitiveness, such arrogance. ♤♤♤ Clove Dunn has lived her life hidden in the shadows of her famous parents. Her mother, a professional tennis player with six grandslams to her name, and her father, the most prestigious tennis referee the tennis world has ever seen. She's always grown up in the comfort of her parents' tennis school, raised on the court, built to push people to their limits and test their skills. Though she's never played competitively, Clove is one of the most talented tennis players at the academy, hence why she's employed as one of the...well no one really knows, she's probably as close to a grand slam champion opponent any of the students at the academy get to rally against before they head to the big leagues. Then there's Dominic Fraser, the golden child of tennis. He's been the player to watch for the past three years, and his rankings continue to rise. His goal: make the top three, and he's not far off. However, when Dom's coach is mysteriously arrested, Dom is left without a coach for his upcoming tournaments, a small blip in his success. Soon enough, Dom and Clove's worlds collide. As her parents welcome Dom with open arms, Clove becomes more resistant to spend time with this arrogant show pony. His short temper and sarcastic comments are two things Clove can't stand. Her strong minded opinions and take-no-shit attitude only allows Dom to rile her up more. So, when they're forced to work together, the tension between them only grows. What possibly could go wrong?

|| behind the court line || carlos alcaraz ||
In a world where every point can decide a career and perfection is a daily demand, even the smallest distraction can be disastrous. Elena - composed, distant, and painfully professional - knows this better than anyone. Working behind the scenes as part of the medical team for top tennis players, she's learned how to keep emotions in check. Always in the background. Never too close. Rules that are never meant to be broken. Until they are. Carlos Alcaraz - young, unpredictable, electric. Known not just for his game, but for a presence that's impossible to ignore. Even for her. On the surface, they have nothing in common - except the growing proximity that no one is supposed to notice. Too often. Too intense. It starts with fleeting moments. Lingering glances between points, the brush of a hand during a taped wrist, conversations that last longer than they should in the hallway after lights-out. Then a few drinks, a harmless game, and a door that closes behind them. Set against the backdrop of one of the world's biggest tournaments - Wimbledon - this is a story of two people who never planned to fall into each other's orbit. It's not quite love. Not yet. It's tension, raw and electric. It's temptation. And it's the slow realization that some things, once started, are impossible to control. But the closer they get, the harder it is to tell the game from the truth. And when everything starts to spiral like an unforced error under pressure, someone will have to risk something greater than a match. Can you keep your distance when your body remembers every touch? Can you ignore what should've never happened - but did, in a locked room, under cover of night, with someone breathing your name? Can you stay detached when one look is all it takes to lose yourself?Complete
Wavelengths
Shubhman Gill fanfiction In a world where cricket stadiums and film sets rarely collide, two stars from different galaxies are pulled into the same orbit. Shubman Gill, India's golden boy of cricket, has spent his life under stadium floodlights, his bat doing most of the talking. Known for his calm demeanor and calculated moves on and off the field, he has never chased the spotlight beyond the boundary line-until now. Aaranya Mehra, Bollywood's most enigmatic actress, built her career on silence as much as stardom.

When a luxury European headphone brand launches in India, fate scripts an unlikely collaboration. Tasked with embodying the essence of sound, connection, and unspoken rhythm, Shubman and Aaranya are chosen to be the face of the campaign: Wavelengths. Neither expects anything beyond a few camera flashes and a brand cheque. But what begins as a manufactured moment of chemistry soon blurs into something far more real. Between shared headphones, private playlists, and conversations they didn't see coming, they begin to uncover a connection that doesn't need words-just music. In a world obsessed with headlines, can two people find something real in the silence between the noise?Complete
Drafting The Heartline - ON HOLD
A Shubman Gill Fanfiction When BCCI plans to revamp its global image ahead of the much-hyped ODI series in Australia, they appoint Inara Chopra, a 25-year-old award-winning creative director known for her bold, emotion-driven campaigns. With a clean aesthetic, sharp vision, and zero tolerance for ego, Inara is the kind of woman who doesn't get dazzled easily-especially not by celebrities. Enter Shubman Gill-India's young batting sensation, recently appointed ODI vice-captain, and the face of the new campaign. Confident on the field but surprisingly guarded off it, Shubman isn't used to someone challenging his every idea... until Inara walks into the BCCI headquarters with her storyboard and calm defiance. What begins as a professional collaboration for a high-profile design and digital storytelling campaign soon turns into something far more layered-late-night brainstorming sessions, behind-the-scenes shoots in Sydney and Melbourne, and unexpected moments of quiet vulnerability between them. As Inara crafts the narrative of "The Blue Rising"-a campaign meant to show the heart behind the men in blue-she finds herself seeing the human side of cricket that fans never do. And Shubman? He discovers that maybe the person capable of redesigning the team's story might also be the one rewriting his own. But with the Australian tour bringing fame, pressure, and public scrutiny, both of them will have to decide what's worth protecting-their reputations or the connection quietly building between them.

Sofia Alcaraz has always stayed on the sidelines - content to cheer for her twin brother, rising tennis star Carlos Alcaraz, and avoid the chaos that comes with the spotlight.

But one accidental run-in with Jannik Sinner - a box of strawberries and cream crashing to the ground, eyes meeting in a breathless moment - sets something in motion neither of them can ignore. As the tournament unfolds and tensions rise on and off the court, Sofia and Jannik are drawn to each other in a way that feels both impossible and inevitable. What begins with small talk and fleeting glances becomes something gentler, deeper, a quiet connection that asks them both to slow down, to soften, to trust. This isn't a story of headlines and trophies. It's a story that blooms in the spaces in between - in quiet corridors, in shared silences, in the comfort of someone who simply stays. Sometimes love doesn't scream. Sometimes, it whispers - and that's more than enough. ----- Jannik Sinner x Fem!Oc Started - 16th July 2025 Finished - ???
