Learning to Adapt by storiesxox05

A sequel to Fighting Society. Jess had been living with her older sister for over a year now. It had given her time to adjust to her surroundings; to understand what the true meaning of family was, even if it was unconventional. She had become settled; loved. She had found an understanding of herself within a society which may not always understand. But of course, the hard part about that was that, circumstances always change, and people change with them. Life was always about having to learn to adapt, but that's hard. Especially with the circumstances Jess faced.

Fake It Till We Make It by WSLreader

Maeve Linton's transfer from Manchester United to Arsenal was supposed to be a fresh start - new city, new teammates, and no unnecessary drama. Two years on, her career is thriving... but her personal life is a mess, thanks to her parents' relentless questions about her love life. In a moment of desperation, Maeve blurts out that she's already seeing someone. And when they press for details, she drags in the only person she trusts enough to fake it with - her best friend and teammate, Leah Williamson. Leah agrees, because that's what best friends do. They hold hands at family dinners, post the occasional carefully-staged photo, and laugh through awkward questions. But the longer they play pretend, the less it feels like acting. Jokes turn into late-night confessions. Staged kisses feel alarmingly real. And suddenly, Maeve and Leah are caught in a game neither of them prepared for. With the season heating up and feelings threatening to derail everything, the two must figure out if they're willing to risk their friendship for something more - or if love, like football, sometimes requires the boldest moves of all.

Almost Yours by css201north

Everyone says she has it all - the dream club, the perfect teammates, the life others only wish for. But none of it compares to the one thing she can't have: the person she loves, standing right beside her, completely unaware. And she doesn't know if she'll ever have the courage to tell them.

Hot Off The Press by WSLreader

Leah Williamson doesn't do journalists. To her, they're all the same - relentless, nosey, and willing to twist anything for a headline. She's spent years keeping every reporter at arm's length, never letting any of them see more than the polite smile she wears on camera. Except Amy Perk. Amy is the one exception - the only journalist every footballer seems to love, and the only one Leah can actually stand. Sharp, warm, and annoyingly good at disarming her, Amy has a way of asking the questions Leah never lets anyone close enough to ask. But when Leah becomes entangled in an incident that could derail her career if the press ever finds out, Amy is the last person she should trust - and the only person she wants to. What starts as a cautious friendship begins to blur into something far more dangerous: late-night meetings, stolen glances, and a connection Leah knows could cost them both everything. Now Leah has to decide - protect her secret, or risk it all for the one person she swore she'd never fall for.

Through the Quiet by shan_lw6

Through the Quiet is a story about love that lingers when everything else feels uncertain, about learning to breathe again after the noise fades. It's about the small, ordinary moments that rebuild a life, and the unexpected ways healing takes root. At its heart, it's a journey through silence, tenderness, and the kind of connection that makes the world feel safe again.

Can You Hear Me? by WSLreader

At twenty-four, Ellie O'Connell has fought harder than most to make it in football. Partially deaf since childhood, she's spent years learning to read the game in her own way-through instinct, timing, and sheer resilience. Talent has never been her problem; being underestimated always has. When Arsenal offers her the chance of a lifetime, Ellie knows she belongs-but she also knows the Women's Super League spotlight will test every weakness she's worked so hard to hide. Leah Williamson, Arsenal's unshakable captain, doesn't believe in weakness. Stone-faced and disciplined, Leah leads with an iron will, never allowing herself to falter-on or off the pitch. To Ellie, she's everything untouchable: a role model, a wall, a woman impossible to impress. But as the season unfolds, Leah starts to notice the quiet strength behind Ellie's guarded exterior. And Ellie, in turn, discovers that even the toughest leaders have their own cracks, their own silences. What begins as respect grows into something far more dangerous: a slow-burning, impossible-to-ignore connection that threatens to break through every wall they've built. A story of resilience, trust, and the unexpected ways love can be heard-even in the quiet.

Always, Us by shan_lw6

* Book 2 in The Us Series* 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.

Chasing The Impossible by WSLreader

Off the pitch, her life is just as steady, thanks to her best friend, the one person who's always had her back.

But rules feel different when her best friend's sister-just three years younger, newly confident, and somehow... different-starts drifting into her life in ways Leah can't ignore. Their easy friendship turns into late-night talks, unexpected touches, and a connection Leah doesn't know how to name. As the season heats up, so does the tension.
