Three years after winning Love Island Season 5, Aria Carrington is no longer the girl the tabloids thought they knew. She's walked away from the prize money, the fake smiles, and the boyfriend she left because she finally accepted the truth: she's into girls, not guys.

Now, she's living quieter, softer, and far away from reality TV - but not far enough to avoid the world of headlines and cameras. That's where Paige Bueckers comes in.

Paige wasn't looking for love. She was focused on basketball, championships, and minding her own business - until Aria Carrington showed up courtside. Confident, complicated, and nothing like the girls Paige thought she'd fall for.

What starts as a friendship built on teasing texts and stolen glances turns into something harder to deny. But for Aria, who's still figuring out how to live openly, and Paige, whose life is always under a microscope, falling for each other isn't just messy - it's risky.

Two women trying to outrun who the world expects them to be... and running straight into each other instead.

Harry Potter: is harry's mom wanda? by YoDarki
131 parts Ongoing
In the final moment before her destruction, Wanda Maximoff " the Scarlet Witch " is pulled into a void beyond time or form. Lost in the abyss of her guilt, a mysterious light touches her... and brings her back. Not to her world, but to another. One where magic is different. Where redemption might take shape: the world of Harry Potter. When a luminous figure " a doe " shows her the memories of a boy abandoned and mistreated by his relatives, Wanda understands her new purpose: to protect Lily Potter's son. Though she doesn't know why she was chosen, she accepts the deal. In exchange for a chance at redemption, she will care for little Harry. But Wanda is no ordinary witch. And this world is not ready for her. From the very first moment on Privet Drive, the Dursleys will feel that something has changed. With power, resolve, and growing compassion, Wanda will face a new destiny. Because this time... no one will touch the boy without facing her. After all, who better to protect the Boy Who Lived... than the Scarlet Witch herself? Author's Disclaimer: This story is loosely inspired by the initial premise of Strange Potter, a work I greatly admire and that served as a creative spark for developing this project. Although the plot, character development, and events are entirely original and distinct, I believe it's only fair to acknowledge that initial influence. Likewise, this is a non-profit fanfic that blends elements from the Marvel and Harry Potter universes, whose rights belong to their respective creators and owners (Marvel/Disney and J.K. Rowling). This work is made with respect and with the intention of paying tribute to these worlds that so many of us have enjoyed.

Steps to her heart

57 parts Complete

⸻ Steps to Her Heart Some routines can't be rehearsed. Going into her senior year, Paige Bueckers is focused on one thing: finishing strong and leaving her mark on the court. But everything changes the summer she meets Nicolette Cheli-a confident, magnetic senior on the university's elite dance team... and the older sister of Morgan Cheli, Paige's newest teammate. Nicolette is off-limits in every way: best friends with Paige's teammate's girlfriend, already wrapped in campus legacy, and with one foot out the door toward the next stage of her life. But one unexpected summer night throws them together, and sparks fly between buzzy headlines and high-stakes reputations. As their connection deepens, Paige finds herself caught between the rhythm of her rising career and the heartbeat she's learning to follow-Nicolette's. Secrets, expectations, and blurred boundaries threaten everything they've built in silence. Because falling for someone is one thing... but learning how to keep them is a whole different dance. ⸻
