Hold On for Me ( Noah bridges x Reader) ✅
Y/N has always lived life behind the lens-capturing the thrill of the game, the rush of the crowd, and the unforgettable moments no one else sees. As a sports photographer, she never expected her world to collide with Noah Bridges-star outfielder for the Savannah Bananas, #9, the player who could make the crowd roar with just one swing. But before there was the chaos of Banana Ball, there was college: late-night practices, stolen glances, and the slow, undeniable pull between two people who swore they didn't have time for love. Now, years later, everything changes in an instant when Y/N is in a devastating accident that leaves her in a coma. As Noah sits by her bedside, begging her to hold on, their story unfolds in fragments-how they met, how they fell, and why he refuses to let go. Because for Noah, love isn't just a season. It's forever.Complete

Too Close To Ignore✅
Kinsley Bennett doesn't like Tanner Thomas. Well... that's what she tells herself. As the Bananas' media whiz, Kinsley's job is to capture the perfect highlights-without letting the Party Animals' star outfielder ruin her shots. Tanner? He lives to do exactly that. Smirks, winks, pranks... you name it. Their on-camera rivalry goes viral on TikTok, and fans can't get enough of Banana Girl vs Party Animal Boy. But off-camera? The tension is way too real. A tour bus mix-up forces Kinsley and Tanner to spend every mile together. Pranks escalate. Snacks disappear. Karaoke turns into laughter-fueled chaos. And late at night, when the stadium is silent and the stars are out, their rivalry might just be hiding something... softer, realer, impossible to ignore. When a false rumor threatens Tanner's reputation, Kinsley has to decide: keep playing the professional, sarcastic media girl... or step up and defend the guy she's been secretly falling for all along. Under the stadium lights, with fans watching, the rivalry reaches its peak-and maybe, just maybe, turns into something neither of them expected.
