Alexandra Taylor.
25 years old from North London. Hale End to be exact. The parts where drugs and violence are instilled into every child that lives there. Apart from a select few. Those few that hold their heads high, they don't give into peer pressure. They believe they are more than what they are destined for.
Alexandra believed that from 6 years old. Watching her dad die in front of her from gang violence, it made her want to get out of that life. To get herself away from any sort of uncontrolled rage.
So she joined the army at 16. Controlled violence was more her speed. The type of violence that doesn't require rage or knives.
It requires discipline, strategy, a sense of calm even in the battle field.
Her younger brother, Benjamin, or Ben. She doesn't know what to call him anymore. Alex hasn't seen him since he was 15, he'd now be 24.
He was a troubled kid, he fell into the gang life. Something which Alex tried to stop him getting into, but she couldn't do anything when she was stationed away and he fell right into. Their mum couldn't stop him, as much as she tried.
They used to be close, but once he was in it. He was gone, fully gone.
Alex's mum, Diane. The sweetest, most loving mother ever adores the bones off of Alex. Always calling, texting, saying how proud of her she is.
Alex doesn't see her mum much, but every time she's home, she's there. Everyday, dinners and movies curled up on her sofa. Just like she did when she was a kid.
There is one thing that Alex doesn't believe in.
Relationships.
She has always said to her best friend, Sam from school that she'll never have time for them. That the second she falls for someone, she's stationed overseas for months and they end up leaving her because they can't do it.
Alex refuses to have her heart broken. Once she gets an idea in her head, there is no way she goes back on it.

Leah Williamson Collision
A deeply emotional slow-burn story about healing, survival, and unexpected connection. After a devastating accident changes Daisy's life forever, she finds herself navigating grief, disability, trauma, and the terrifying reality of starting over. What begins as simple kindness from football captain Leah Williamson slowly becomes something far more significant as the two women learn to trust each other through sleepless nights, panic attacks, dark memories, and moments of surprising joy. At its heart, the story explores found family, vulnerability, recovery, and the quiet ways people save each other without even realising they are doing it.

The Girlfriend Clause
Leah is used to being wanted, but she doesn't do relationships. As a professional footballer for Arsenal, she keeps things simple: train, win and don't get distracted by girlfriends. Girls come and go, and she prefers it that way. Addison, on the other hand, has never even had a girlfriend. She's sweet, chatty, hopelessly bad at flirting and even worse at lying. Which becomes a problem that she doesn't know how to take back when blurting out she has a girlfriend. Enter: Leah. When her temporary housemate becomes the solution, the agreement is simple. Pretend to date, meet parents. Smile for photos and when it's convenient end it. However, living together suddenly comes with rules, boundaries and one very important condition: Don't fall for each other. It should've been easy. Except Leah is impossibly charming, addicted to flirting, and has a habit of looking at Addison like she's already hers. And Addison, despite promising herself she wouldn't, starts falling for the woman who somehow brought family into her life. As fake kisses become real, late-night cuddles become routine, and "temporary" quietly feels more like "forever," they build something neither of them ever expected. But love isn't always enough. When old insecurities, jealousy, and the weight of each other's past begin to crack the foundation of everything they've built, the question stops being, how did they fall in love? And rather it becomes... Can two people who are perfect together survive the parts of themselves they can't seem to change? © All rights reserved.
Old Wounds
When Leah Williamson and Maddie Carter are forced onto the same team at Arsenal, old wounds resurface instantly. Teammates since childhood, enemies by choice, the two have spent years competing, clashing, and refusing to forgive what happened at England camp. But as tension builds on and off the pitch, they're forced to confront a truth neither of them wants to admit-maybe they never really hated each other at all. Leah Williamson x Original character
Right place, right time
When Flora ends up working for her dad in St Albans, she finds herself in the pub one night and after being ditched by her bestfriend, what turns into a selfless offer from a stranger turns into a night of passion and something deeper. It was fate and both girls found themselves in the right place at the right time.
Off the pitch
Leah Williamson is tired. Tired of the flashing lights, the roar of the crowds, and the heavy weight of the captain's armband. She's the face of a nation, but all she wants is to be a ghost. When she rents a modest apartment in a tucked-away corner of North London under a different name, she finally finds the silence she's been craving. Then she meets the girl in 4C. Maya is a shadow. To the rest of the world, she is a literary sensation-the girl who wrote the heartbreaking, global bestseller that defined a generation of grief. To Leah, she's just Maya: the girl with the tired eyes and the oversized cardigans who doesn't know a thing about football. For Leah, Maya is a sanctuary-the only person who sees Leah and not the Lioness. For Maya, Leah is the first spark of light in a world that went dark the day her sister died. But secrets have a way of echoing in quiet hallways. As their lives intertwine through rainy nights and shared tea, Leah must decide how long she can play a part before the world-and the truth-comes knocking on her door.Concluida
Fragile Fire
Talia Blake was the girl everyone warned Leah Williamson about. Reckless on the pitch. Sharp with her words. Impossible to control. The media called her England's bad girl, the fans called her trouble, and most people decided who she was before she ever got the chance to prove them wrong. So when Talia is called into England camp, Leah expects chaos. She expects attitude. She expects arguments. She expects the headlines to be true. But the longer Leah is forced to spend around her, the harder it becomes to ignore the cracks beneath Talia's perfect image. The unread messages she hides too quickly. The way her smile disappears when her phone rings. The tired eyes behind the sharp eyeliner. The fear she covers with fire. Talia Blake is not just difficult. She is hurting. And as England camp pulls them closer, Leah begins to realise that the girl everyone calls trouble might be the one person who has never been protected enough to feel safe. Talia is fire to the world. But to Leah, she might just be fragile.
The Captain's Game
Leah has never thought about changing but when Mabel comes into her life everything does change.
Strings Attached
Ellie was always independent. She did things her own way, found her own people, worked her way through them all when she had her evenings away from reality. There was never anything that made them anything other than a one night stand. Apart from one. One blonde, who lingered in her mind, no matter how hard she tried to rid her. But secrets unravel, the more you try to quieten them, and reality has it's way to work itself out, but in the end, so do feelings. That hits Ellie the hard way.
Couples Therapy
The night Leah moves out, there's no screaming. No slammed doors. Just a suitcase, a promise to still show up for the kids, and the heavy understanding that love isn't always enough to keep two people from breaking. After years of building a life together, Leah and Hallie are undone not by betrayal, but by grief. After devastating loss fractures the foundation of their marriage, Leah does what she's always done, she survives. She hardens. She buries her emotions so Hallie can fall apart safely. But silence has consequences. It steals ease. It steals intimacy. It steals the version of them that used to laugh in the kitchen and reach for each other without thinking. By the time Leah moves out, they're not enemies. They're exhausted. Couples Therapy follows three raw, vulnerable months of separation as they navigate co-parenting, sleepless nights alone, awkward FaceTimes, and the quiet ache of missing the person who still feels like home. Therapy forces them to say the things they've buried, about grief, about resentment, about the pressure to be strong for each other when both of them were breaking. But this isn't a story about a marriage falling apart. It's about whether two women who still love each other fiercely can learn to love each other better. It's about rebuilding trust after grief hollowed it out. Because sometimes walking away isn't the end. Sometimes it's the first step toward coming back stronger than before. © All rights reserved.Concluida
