Leah's life is divided into before and after, though no one ever tells you when the line is being drawn.

One moment she is a wife, a parent, a person with a future she understands. The next, she is learning how to hold her family together while everything familiar slips out of reach.

With young children depending on her, Leah has no choice but to keep moving. To make breakfasts she doesn't taste. To answer questions she doesn't know how to explain.

The world hasn't ended, it's simply asked her to survive it.

Where the Light Grows by shan_lw6
66 parts Complete
After the roar of stadiums fades and the lights finally dim, Cassie and Leah are left with something neither of them has ever been particularly good at: stillness. Leah's recovery brings an unfamiliar pause, her body insisting on patience after years shaped by motion and certainty. Cassie is learning how to live with the weight of knowledge already carried, time no longer something to assume, but something to hold carefully. With the pace of life softened, conversations once deferred begin to surface. Gently. Hesitantly. In the spaces between jokes and late nights, an idea takes root: fragile, unfinished, impossible to ignore. What follows is not simple or linear. It is a season of waiting, of recalibration, of hope measured against reality. Of choosing each other again and again, even when the future refuses to offer reassurance.

The Light that Stays. by shan_lw6
21 parts Ongoing
Cassie and Leah are no longer reaching for a future that feels just out of grasp. They are living inside it now: in a body changed by everything it has carried, in days shaped by recovery and adjustment, in nights that ask for patience rather than hope. This is a book about the unglamorous middle: about love that persists when adrenaline fades, when exhaustion settles in, when intimacy has to be relearned. About discovering who you are when the light doesn't blaze or grow, it simply remains, steady and demanding to be tended. Nothing is resolved neatly. Nothing is easy in the way it once was imagined. But this time, the light does not flicker or disappear. It stays.
Off Limits by shan_lw6

Leah has learned how to live in public. She knows how to answer questions, how to lead under pressure, how to give enough of herself to satisfy the world without giving too much away. Her private life is exactly that: carefully protected, deliberately unseen. Until one question crosses the line. It isn't crude. It isn't explicit. But it reaches for something that isn't football, and once it's asked, it can't be unheard. In the days that follow, the implication spreads: through articles that read between the lines, through online speculation that treats silence as invitation, through strangers who begin to feel entitled to what she's never offered. What hurts isn't exposure, but erosion. The sense of being watched not for who she is on the pitch, but for who she might be when the cameras are gone. As the tournament unfolds, Leah holds tighter to the life she's kept separate, learning how much strength it takes to say nothing at all, and how lonely it can be to protect something no one else can see.

Through the Quiet by shan_lw6
8 parts Ongoing
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.

Not Big, Just Us by shan_lw6
6 parts Ongoing
*oneshot* Valentine's Day isn't grand gestures or crowded restaurants this year. It's fairy lights strung up before sunrise. A carefully packed hamper on the sofa. A house that smells faintly of tulips and peppermint tea. Everything feels slower lately. Heavier in the best way. Like they're standing on the edge of something new, something that's about to change everything. Leah just wants to hold onto this version of them for a moment, this quiet morning, this in-between, before the world shifts again. Not big. Just us.
