Sixteen-year-old Y/n Williamson isn't just chasing her dream of playing for Arsenal Women - she's trying to keep her ADHD brain in check, survive the chaos of living with Leah Williamson, Katie McCabe, Caitlin Foord, Alessia Russo, and Lauryn McCabe, and figure out why her stomach flips every time Lauryn smiles at her.
Between early-morning drills, household oat milk wars, and the pressure to prove herself on the pitch, Y/n quickly learns that football might be the easy part. Because in this house, goals aren't just scored on the field - sometimes, they're about finding your place, your people, and maybe even your first love.

Always, Us by shan_lw6
73 parts Complete
Three years after Suddenly, Us, Leah Williamson and Esmee Blom are balancing the chaos of football careers, school runs, and the everyday joy of raising their daughter. Between Arsenal training sessions, West Ham fixtures, and bedtime routines full of giggles and questions too big for small voices, they're quietly holding onto a hope they don't speak aloud too often: growing their family. As the demands of the pitch pull them in different directions, the pull of home keeps bringing them back together. Through teasing teammates, missed moments, and the tenderness of ordinary days, Leah and Esmee are learning that love doesn't just live in the grand gestures; it's built in the steady rhythm of family life, and in the quiet courage it takes to keep hoping.
Suddenly, Us by shan_lw6

A name held close like a secret. A life tethered to a past neither fully understood nor fully escaped. When Leah Williamson is unexpectedly entrusted with a child she never knew existed, the world she thought she knew shifts beneath her feet. Between the echoes of love lost and the relentless pace of the present, she must navigate a delicate balance; between grief and hope, between duty and desire, between what is given and what must be earned. In the quiet spaces where the stadium fades and the spotlight dims, a new kind of family begins to take shape. Fragile, uncertain, but real. Some stories don't end with goodbye. They begin there.

A rising star, a new adventure, a spectacular fall. 16 always was her favourite number. How ironic it took 16 drinks to ruin her life. The 18 year old Dutch star Maxine van de Berg moves to London for a next step in her footballing career. While navigating her new environment, and dealing with her own mind, she is determined to be the best she can be, the best of the world. However, some things can't be foreseen, and Max's life might never become what she hoped it to be.
Between the Flags. by justaweirdgingergirl

At twenty-six, Isradora finally has the world at her feet - and yet, she can't shake the feeling that something's missing. Selected for the 2023 World Cup, Isradora returns to the world stage stronger, older, and more determined than ever. But standing across the pitch is the woman she hasn't seen in years - Alexia Putellas. Cold. Distant. Familiar in a way that makes her chest ache. The only thing Isradora remembers from their tangled teenage past is a pair of hazel eyes, a soft accent, and the feeling of being wanted. Now, with the pressure of football, the weight of her past, and her madre back in her life after years apart, Isradora must face the truth she's buried for too long - about the father she lost, the memories she locked away, and the girl who might've never stopped loving her. Because the past always finds a way to return. Especially when it never really left. 25.09.96
ISHARA: Abused Angel by 09suhaniKaushik
18 parts Ongoing
In a quiet, misty district of Himachal Pradesh, in a small orphanage called Sparsh Ashram, lived a fragile, gentle girl named Ishara. Her eyes held a quiet innocence, untouched by the harshness of the world, yet shadowed with a deep, unspoken sorrow. When she was only four, her stepfather-the one who had once called her his life-had left her. He discovered she was the product of her mother's betrayal, and in his heartbreak, he turned away. Since then, Ishara had grown up in the soft, lonely halls of the orphanage, her heart tender, her spirit delicate, carrying a pain that even time could not erase. At fifteen, she was still small, almost like a fragile bird in a vast, unkind sky-beautiful, innocent, and quietly brave. .................................................................................................... ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

"Derin polisi ara!" Diye bağırdı Irmak. "Emir bir şey yap!"Diye bağırdı Irmak'ın karşısındaki çocuk. "Bacağım kırıldı galiba."Diye yakındı Sarp denen çocuk. "Ben arıyorum polisi."Diyerek telefonuna yöneldi Ada. "Sakince konuşabilir miyiz?"Diyerek merdivenlerden indi çekik gözlü çocuk. "İndirsene bacım şunu!"Diyerek Irmak'a bağırdı karşısındaki çocuk. "Sus geçiririm kafana!"Diyerek yükseldi Irmak. "Hepiniz susun!" Sinirle bağırdığımda sonunda herkes sesini keserken Ada'nın polisi aramak üzere olduğunu görüp elindeki telefonu aldım. "Kimse polisi aramıyor," Diyerek Ada'ya yönelik konuştum. Ardından Irmak'a dönerek elindeki vazoyu işaret ettim. "Ve kimse kimsenin kafasını kırmıyor. İndir şunu." Aklıma gelen şey ne kadar sinirimi bozsa da bulunduğumuz durumun başka bir açıklamasını düşünemiyordum. Ya gerçekten sapıklardı ve eve gizlice girmişlerdi ya da evi aynı anda kiralamıştık. Mümkünse tabii.
