Summary
Maybelle is a woman of many qualities. She’s a hard worker, a good mother, she does her level best to be kind, honest, and determined, everything she’d been raised to value in those around her.
She's also not as oblivious as Carson and Greta seem to think she is.
Or: five times Maybelle Fox is the ultimate mother-hen.

Summary
Greta feels the moment when, in the seat beside her, Sarge actively loses the will to live.
“Miss Gill, allow me to be quite clear. The next time a gentleman requests the pleasure of your company, for my own sanity I will be sending one of your teammates as chaperone. I trust you will all behave…appropriately.”
Greta Gill gets asked on a heck of a lot of dates. That requires a heck of a lot of chaperones.
[Or, five times Greta goes on an unwanted date with a man and at least one chaperone with a talent for sabotage, and the one time she finally gets the date she really wants.]

Summary
Greta liked that her hands were promising, and sharp-boned, and delicate, and hard, and strong. They picked Joey up, crushed low outside pitches, stole cigarettes, kept Dana’s ring safe; they tore up letters, and cut hair, and held Carson’s mouth to hers with steady supplication.
They were who she was: a creature of action, momentum, and nerve.

Summary
Two people met and fell in love and lived happily...but not ever after. And life kept going, even after that.
You're the echoes of my everything
You're the emptiness the whole world sings at night
You're the laziness of afternoon
You're the reason why I burst and why I bloom
How will I break the news to you?

Summary
Carson had always loved Greta. From the first moment they’d met, Carson knew this was the woman she wanted to spend her life with. It was Carson’s belief that their love could survive anything, in any time, across any universe. She’d bet her life on it. Until the 2007 Writers’ Strike.
Fast forward to the 2023 strike and their world is different and yet weirdly familiar. Carson lives nearby to Greta, to help make co-parenting run smoothly. Greta has joined the Writer’s Guild and has a bit more understanding of the stance Carson took during the 2007 strike. Their little girl is now a 17-year-old young woman and soon to head off to college.
With the present seeming to mirror the past, Carson and Greta start to wonder if this strike they can fix the issues that broke them apart during the last one, regaining that old feeling.

Summary
Jess held Lupe close, tried not to let their thoughts circle back to worries of impracticality and risk and overindulgence, pushed away nagging concerns to just appreciate. Maybe that was why they didn’t fully register the intensity of the warmth of their bed, of the heat radiating from Lupe’s skin. Definitely that was why they brushed it off and just pulled the quilt tighter around them when Lupe’s teeth chattered, despite their cocoon of shared body heat.
Looking back, Jess cursed themself for not knowing something was wrong, but in that moment, they had Lupe’s body curled into theirs, Lupe’s face in the crook of their neck, Lupe’s support and companionship in this unforeseen but so treasured trip to Jess’s home. Their headspace was too hazy, too blissful and rose-colored for alarm bells.

Summary
When the Peaches atypically had to spend three nights all under the same roof, the weekend out of town posed a substantial challenge, both on and off the field. Jess and Lupe, however, faced the additional test of the less-than-ideal predicament they had put themselves in: Nobody knew that, six weeks prior, Lupe had kissed Jess on the couch in their shared apartment, and things had only escalated since. Which meant that, when they walked onto the team bus that Friday morning, not another soul knew the true nature of their relationship. It was going to be a long weekend, especially because they vowed to at least tell Esti the truth
or – the events of the weekend in which, after six tender and special weeks together, their relationship finally came to light
(although connected to previous "caught me loving you," this has an entirely separate plot and can be read independently)

Summary
McCready just gives Lupe a chin jerk and stays standing. Her eyes are bright and interested as she looks Lupe up and down, unblinking even when Lupe gives her a grimace in return. Lupe’s never exchanged even a word with her, and there’s definitely—something, now, something a little like wariness, a little flicker of aggression and familiarity that dances between them that’s not just team rivalry, not just feeling each other out. McCready has a strong face, with a wide mouth and a whole lot of jaw and angles and hollows and bones, and she doesn’t drop her gaze when Lupe tries to stare her down; if anything she sharpens, her eyes and her body honing in on Lupe, her presence somehow starting to crowd into Lupe’s personal space even though McCready doesn’t move a goddamn muscle.
