Paige is everything Y/n can't stand-loud, confident, and undeniably annoying. With her constant energy and relentless personality, she rubs Y/n the wrong way at every turn.

A slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance full of humor, heart, and unexpected connections, Fated will make you question whether the most annoying person in your life might actually be the one you need most.

The Shot I Never Saw Coming by paigebueckerxfem

It's Paige Bueckers' senior year at UConn - her last shot at a championship, her legacy on the line, and zero room for distractions. Until one shows up courtside. Hayden Carter is only nineteen, the new manager for the men's basketball team, quiet but sharp-eyed, carrying more than just equipment bags. Two months pregnant and freshly abandoned by the team captain who swore he loved her, Hayden is just trying to keep her head down and survive the whispers. Paige wasn't supposed to notice her. Wasn't supposed to care. But something about Hayden's quiet strength - the way she refuses to break, even with everything crashing around her - pulls Paige in deeper than she ever expected. As rumors swirl and loyalties fracture, Paige finds herself fighting for more than just her final season. She's fighting for the girl who was never supposed to matter - and the love that could change everything. ⸻

Dorinda De-La-Cruz arrives at UConn as the mysterious transfer from Spain - reserved, disciplined, and living in her car with nothing but her twin brother and basketball to lean on.

The golden girl of UConn finds herself drawn to the quiet storm who says little and destroys everything in her path. A story about secrets, rivalry, loyalty, and the dangerous pull of someone who was never supposed to let you in.

Designer Love by paigebueckerxfem

In her final year at UConn, Paige Bueckers is focused on one thing-going out on top. Championships, WNBA dreams, and the pressure of being college basketball's golden girl leave little room for distractions. Until a chance encounter at a gala introduces her to Aurora Sterling, the enigmatic 23-year-old prodigy who just shattered records as the youngest CEO in Louis Vuitton history-and the youngest female CEO the world has ever seen. Aurora is poised, untouchable, and famously private. Born into old money but built by her own vision, she turns luxury into power with every calculated move. Paige lives in sweat and sneakers, thrives in chaos, and plays with her heart on her sleeve. But something about Aurora disarms her-and something about Paige makes Aurora unravel in ways she never has. What starts as an unlikely connection slowly evolves into stolen moments, midnight calls, and a love that neither of them expected. But with media scrutiny, international pressure, and both of their futures hanging in the balance, Paige and Aurora must decide: can love survive when the whole world is watching? ⸻

The Point Guard and the Power Hitter by paigebueckerxfem

On the outside, Paige Bueckers has it all - a basketball phenom, a campus icon, and the face of UConn sports. But behind the highlight reels and press interviews, she's looking for something real - something untouched by the spotlight. Enter Callie Rhodes, a fiercely talented junior on the softball team with a swing that turns heads and a quiet confidence that keeps hers down. She's not chasing fame or headlines; she's just chasing her next win - until Paige walks into her orbit. When a chance encounter during a campus charity event sparks unexpected chemistry, their worlds collide - hardwood and infield, fame and privacy, legacy and self-discovery. As their connection deepens, so does the pressure. Teammates whisper. Fans speculate. And the line between personal and public life begins to blur. But Callie isn't afraid to swing for something bigger. And Paige? She's never been one to back down from a challenge - especially not the kind that makes her heart race off the court. In a world where everything is played out under bright lights, can two athletes find a love worth fighting for behind the scenes? ⸻

names we carry - PAIGE BUECKERS by freya322

Jackie de Valois didn't ask to leave France. She didn't ask to move to a strange neighborhood in Minnesota, or to start third grade in a language she barely knows. She definitely didn't ask to feel invisible in a house full of loud, brilliant siblings. Then she meets Paige Bueckers-her tiny, talkative neighbor with a basketball in one hand and a whole lot of confidence in the other. Paige doesn't care that Jackie mixes up English words or that she likes hockey better than dolls. Paige just shows up-sleepovers, school days, and all the little moments in between. Together, they take on, high school, college, the spotlight, and the wild, beautiful love story they created.
