Summary
Rio Vidal is the best attacking midfielder women's soccer has seen in a decade—maybe ever. But after leading the Irish National Team to their first World Cup trophy, she abruptly and mysteriously leaves the NWSL to play for Barcelona.
She returns three years later, joining a new club midway through their first season. There are a few stars on the team already, like Jen Kale and Alice Wu-Gulliver.
And, of course, Agatha Harkness, the USWNT's lead striker and Rio’s ex-something.

This is a fic about love, and grief, and missed opportunities and misunderstandings. It starts in the present day, jumps back to the past, then works its way back to the present. Soccer is the setting; the characters are the story.
