chelsea edsheeran fanfiction football friends friendstolovers lovers masonmount music realmadrid romance

Almost and Then Always is a slow-burn romantic dramedy set against the high-stakes worlds of music and football - but at its core, it's a story about friendship, love, and choosing each other through the chaos.

Gracie Russell, a rising pop star on the verge of losing herself, and Mason Mount, a professional footballer chasing greatness, have been best friends for years - both secretly in love but too afraid to risk what they have. When life, fame, and a web of public scrutiny pull them apart, they're forced to find their way back not just to each other, but to themselves.

From the emotional night of the 2021 Champions League Final in Porto to whirlwind tours, messy PR relationships, and unexpected reunions in Madrid, Gracie and Mason's journey is as chaotic as it is heartfelt. With the help of her outspoken best friend Delilah Foden and Mason's easygoing teammate Luca Moreno, they rebuild their friendship, fight for their love, and eventually create the family they never knew they needed - complete with dogs, a wedding, and one unforgettable pregnancy twist.

It's a story of second chances, healing, and finding home in the person who's been there all along.All Rights Reserved

And according to her friends, Leah Williamson and Aaron Ramsdale, he also is the perfect man for her. But are they right? Is Mason Mount the man of her dreams? Author's note: Another story based on one of my dreams 😅 Mason wasn't my main character, but it was easier to write it with him, I had more ideas.
