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.

Two Steps Ahead by paigebueckerxfem

⸻ When basketball phenom Paige Bueckers crosses paths with Kara Hough, the dazzling new Dancing With the Stars pro and Derek Hough's younger sister, sparks fly in ways neither expected. Kara, a 5'5" firecracker with endless charisma, is making her ballroom debut partnered with none other than Steph Curry, and quickly finds herself in the spotlight. But while the world is watching her spins and steps on stage, it's the quiet, unguarded moments with Paige-away from the cameras-that lead to a rhythm all their own. What begins as admiration turns into something deeper, as Paige discovers that love doesn't just happen on the court or the dance floor-it can sweep you off your feet when you least expect it. ⸻

The Transfer by Chillipepper007

Paige Bueckers x fem reader Y/n is a junior transfer from the University of South Carolina. Due to her troubled past with the team she joins the Huskies in their pursuit of another national championship. Will y/n be able to let go of her past and accept the amazing life in front of her? Or will she fall pray to her demons and push away the people that truly love her? Author's Note: First and foremost, I want to emphasize that this is a work of fiction. I don't know any of the individuals mentioned, nor do I have any insight into how they might respond in real-life situations. I'm certain they are all wonderful people. For the sake of advancing the plot and creating a compelling story, some characters may be portrayed with negative traits or flaws. This is purely for narrative purposes. Without conflict or complexity the story would lack depth. Additionally, I want to clarify that I have no knowledge of anyone's sexual orientation. Once again, this is entirely fictional and should be viewed as such. Italics: inner thoughts ---: time skip ~~~: text messages

Harry Potter: is harry's mom wanda? by YoDarki

In the final moment before her destruction, Wanda Maximoff " the Scarlet Witch " is pulled into a void beyond time or form. Lost in the abyss of her guilt, a mysterious light touches her... and brings her back. Not to her world, but to another. One where magic is different. Where redemption might take shape: the world of Harry Potter. When a luminous figure " a doe " shows her the memories of a boy abandoned and mistreated by his relatives, Wanda understands her new purpose: to protect Lily Potter's son. Though she doesn't know why she was chosen, she accepts the deal. In exchange for a chance at redemption, she will care for little Harry. But Wanda is no ordinary witch. And this world is not ready for her. From the very first moment on Privet Drive, the Dursleys will feel that something has changed. With power, resolve, and growing compassion, Wanda will face a new destiny. Because this time... no one will touch the boy without facing her. After all, who better to protect the Boy Who Lived... than the Scarlet Witch herself? Author's Disclaimer: This story is loosely inspired by the initial premise of Strange Potter, a work I greatly admire and that served as a creative spark for developing this project. Although the plot, character development, and events are entirely original and distinct, I believe it's only fair to acknowledge that initial influence. Likewise, this is a non-profit fanfic that blends elements from the Marvel and Harry Potter universes, whose rights belong to their respective creators and owners (Marvel/Disney and J.K. Rowling). This work is made with respect and with the intention of paying tribute to these worlds that so many of us have enjoyed.

Drafted by the Waves by paigebueckerxfem

⸻ When Paige Bueckers is drafted first overall by the Los Angeles Sparks, she's ready to take the WNBA by storm-but nothing prepares her for Skye Quinn, the enigmatic local surf legend who rides waves like she's rewriting gravity. Drawn together by the pull of the Pacific and the pressure of fame, Paige and Skye are total opposites: one thrives in packed arenas under blinding lights, the other finds peace chasing dawn patrols and staying out of the spotlight. But as their worlds collide, so do their hearts-forcing them to navigate love, identity, and sacrifice in a city where everyone's watching. In a place where tides change fast and careers move faster, Paige must decide what she's really playing for: the game she's always loved, or the unexpected future she's building-one wave, and one kiss, at a time. ⸻

Beneath the Lights by paigebueckerxfem

Two stars. One team. A love they never saw coming. Paige Bueckers is the Dallas Wings' newest guard-sharp-shooting, spotlight-shy, and determined to prove herself in a league that doesn't hand out respect easily. She's focused on the game, not distractions-especially not the kind with killer moves and a thousand-watt smile. Tessa Cruz is the face of the Wings' Flight Crew dance team-bold, electric, and burning with a passion that can't be contained to the stage. She lives for the rhythm, the crowd, the thrill of performance... and lately, for the quiet moments she shares with the Wings' rising star. When a chance encounter turns into something deeper, Paige and Tessa find themselves caught between ambition and emotion, court and stage, expectation and truth. But in a world where their every move is watched, loving each other might be the riskiest play of all.
