Offside Heart by san2lolshf0n
10 parts Complete
When Frederike-Gabriella Roord Ferra arrives in London with her golden-haired daughter Rose and loyal golden retriever Leo, she's hoping for a quiet visit with her half-sister - Manchester City's Dutch midfielder, Jill Roord. But her trip takes an unexpected turn when three-year-old Rose bolts into a busy East London café... straight into the middle of the Arsenal Women's team on a pre-match activation walk. Chaos unfolds. Beth Mead barely has time to register the blonde toddler before the girl's mother storms in - and collides headfirst into the chest of Arsenal captain Leah Williamson. Sparks fly. Literally. Leah can't shake the moment. Not the wild-eyed beauty with the fierce accent, not the laughing toddler, not even the golden retriever who somehow managed to steal a muffin mid-scramble. Three days later, fate kicks in again when Rike and Rose appear pitchside at Arsenal's clash with Manchester City - there to cheer on Jill, who's flanked by fellow Dutch internationals Kerstin Casparij and Vivianne Miedema... Beth Mead's girlfriend. Torn between family loyalty and unexpected chemistry, Rike finds herself pulled into two very different worlds - and into the orbit of a woman who is as grounded as she is guarded. Leah, known for her composure on the pitch, is anything but steady when it comes to Rike. With Rose stealing everyone's heart (and Leo sneaking into players-only zones), the lines between rivalry and romance begin to blur. But with Jill watching closely, secrets Rike hasn't shared, and the pressures of public lives - can two women on opposite sides of the pitch find common ground in the heart?

Leah Williamson has always been the rock-on the pitch and off. Captain of England, a cornerstone at Arsenal, and the dependable friend everyone leans on. But lately, being surrounded by couples-Caitlin and Katie, Beth and Viv, even Alex Scott blissfully happy with Jess Glynne-has left Leah feeling like the odd one out. She's happy for them, of course. But watching everyone else in love only sharpens the ache she tries so hard to ignore: she wants someone of her own. Not just anyone, though. Leah's not after quick flings or casual headlines. She wants someone she can spoil, protect, and treat like the most important person in the world. The kind of relationship that feels like home, even in the chaos of stadium lights and tabloids. One evening, over a bottle of wine, Alex urges Leah to do something unthinkable: sign up for a dating app. Leah scoffs-she's always sworn she'd never go near one. Too risky. Too messy. Too... un-Leah. But with Alex insisting and loneliness gnawing, Leah takes the plunge. That's when she meets her. A girl with no ties to football, no idea who Leah Williamson really is, and a smile that makes Leah want to break every rule she's set for herself. What starts as late-night chats and cautious first dates soon becomes something Leah didn't realize she was craving: a chance to be vulnerable, to give herself completely, and to love like she plays-fearlessly and all in. But can a relationship born in secrecy survive under the relentless spotlight? Or will Leah's world-one she's spent years building-threaten to tear apart the one thing she's finally found worth fighting for? 🚨Explicit Content 18+🚨

In the heart of a season marked by change, Leah Williamson and Astrid Miedema find their worlds colliding in unexpected ways. Leah, a stoic leader known for her quiet strength, has spent years building walls around her heart, unwilling to let anyone in after a painful heartbreak. Astrid, on the other hand, is a fighter who's spent her life in the shadow of expectations and a strained family dynamic. Both women are marked by their pasts-Leah by the weight of lost trust and Astrid by a yearning for connection she's never fully embraced. When Astrid moves on loan to Arsenal, seeking both a fresh start and a chance to prove herself beyond her sister Vivianne's shadow, she's drawn into Leah's world-an environment where loyalty, honesty, and unspoken understanding are everything. At first, they seem like opposites: Leah, composed and unflappable; Astrid, sharp and guarded, hiding her vulnerabilities behind a confident façade. But as they spend more time together, their mutual respect turns into something deeper. Leah sees in Astrid a kindred spirit-a fighter, someone who knows what it's like to carry the weight of the world on her shoulders. Astrid, in turn, is captivated by Leah's unwavering commitment to her team and the quiet strength she exudes. Slowly, walls begin to crumble. Leah's fear of letting someone in fades as she begins to trust Astrid in ways she never thought possible. Astrid's emotional defenses begin to soften as Leah offers her a sense of stability and warmth she's never known. Together, they embark on a journey of healing and rediscovery-of learning to love not just each other, but themselves. In each other, they find a refuge from their pasts, and a future they never expected. Their love story is one of growth, vulnerability, and the courage to trust again, as they navigate the challenges of both football and life, learning that sometimes the most beautiful connections come from the most unlikely places.
