I was wondering: do you already have ideas for your next fics? Did you already started on writing something and can you share some things about what you are going to Write about? I’m just so sad minimum recovery time is coming to an end so would be nice to look forward to something new. 😊
Thank you so much!! Yes, I have a couple more Lucy/Lucy+Ona stories written or in progress to varying degrees.
Also, for the record I am very open to request/idea submissions! I'm particularly in the market for sweet + smutty ideas for shorter sexy one-shots before i dive into another long fic… ✨
Stories currently in progress include (details below the cut for those who prefer to avoid spoilers...):
Sequel to No Half Measures
new drama for Ona, Lucy, and Mara after Ona signs for Arsenal
pretty close to fully written, but I feel a little weird posting because it involves Ona playing for Arsenal, which was a plot choice I very fictionally made long before it was ever actually on the table!
Lucy + Ona + babies-- sweet + very smutty
started this one a few weeks ago and am already maybe halfway through writing it? it's very sweet and very hot and writing it has been like getting to watch a delightful movie playing out in my head that I can't wait to share with you all
the version of Lucy in this is SO much less beaten down by circumstance than most of what i've written for her lol. she's got this verrrrrry sexy confidence I'm kind of obsessed with (so is the Ona of the story)
my first fully Ona-pov piece! been fun to get in her head
Ode to the 2025 Euros
focus here is etching into my brain all the absurdly cinematic details surrounding how Lucy fucking dragged the Lionesses to victory
expect fictionalized versions of actual details, like:
Lucy startling teammates with 3am ice baths
obviously the secret broken tibia
Lucy controlling the wall bracket, younger players can't touch
yelling at sarina for subbing her out v netherlands and wales ("i can't train, i need to PLAY to stay sharp" vs "lucy! you have a BROKEN LEG, go sit down")
scoring that magical goal to kickstart resurgence v sweden
strapping up own thigh with half the team bloody on the ground, then ripping off strapping to score winning pen
football stats obsession -> shootout victory (the "i love maths" interview)
pain med regimen for broken leg -> vomiting pain meds up just before kickoff v spain because of extended use
playing against ona in yet another major final
injuring other leg, hopping on sidelines, hopping through victory celebrations, riding on moorhouse's back, hugging ona on the ground in tears, telling the world about broken leg in pitchside postmatch interview
etc etc (please send in other ideas of details if you remember things i've left out!)
Smutty companion piece to London at Last
a series of low-plot/high-smut sketches of Lucy and Ona visiting each other while in a low-stress ldr, this time set in Barcelona
this is currently mostly outlined and about half written, but it's easier to write quickly than other things because it's so plot-free
Curious if any of these are more or less of interest to readers?!
Would love to hear what you think, not sure yet which to prioritise for posting next!!
chapter 12 was the emotional release we have been waiting for!
Thank you!!! Next chapter of MRT will be coming soon-- I'm editing now and I have to say there's a scene towards the beginning that I can't wait to share with you all. It doesn't have huge plot implications or anything, but it might be one of my favourites bits I've written for this story ❤️
Hey, I just wanted to say that I really like Minimum Recovery Time and it's so lovely that you had some chapters in Vienna. Sending lots of love from Vienna myself!
Thank you! I've only been once, so if I got anything wrong please let me know. Seemed like a lovely setting for some springtime romance!! 🥰
can't wait!!! would you mind giving us a bit of a spoiler?
since you've asked so nicely, here's a little taste ✨
Lucy's breath caught, she thought she would go mad from wanting. Finally Ona's fingertips touched her directly again, just for a moment, before pulling back, teasing.
"Ona," Lucy gasped. “Please. I can’t take it. I need more.”
"Mmm. But I want to take my time with you and I don't think you will last long, cariño."
The tragic realisation that Sonia playing Lucy out of position all season and dragging our team down in quality means Lucy probably won't win any of the awards for right back anymore😔
Bearing in mind, she won the fifa world 11 right back spot eight times and now probably won't ever again😭
Oh anon, what a depressing thought 😭
But have some faith in Lucy, I don't think this year is her last chance for anything-- even if this particular season is kind of shot, you know if England win the World Cup in '27 she'll be at the heart of it all 🔥
(And yes, I know Lucy herself would say she doesn't care about individual awards, but what can I say, I like seeing her collect the praise she deserves 😂)
Is minimum recovery time really going to end after chapter 18 or are you going to write things further on this story / creating a new story,…?
It’s always one of the best moments in my week to read a new chapter, love this story so much!!
Wow, thank you for these incredibly sweet words! Really means a lot to hear <3
The current Minimum Recovery Time chapter count isn't quite right. As things stand it'll be 19 chapters, and I've been toying with whether to add an epilogue, which would take it to 20. Beyond that, I'm not sure... I think by that point, this particular story might have said everything I wanted it to say.
I definitely have more things in the works though! I'll put the rest under a cut because it includes spoilers for some of my other stories…
Current WIPs I have going include:
a companion piece to London at Last: a series of low-plot/high-smut sketches of Lucy and Ona, this time set in Barcelona (still long distance relationship era)
a half written sequel to No Half Measures where new drama emerges for Ona, Lucy, and Mara after Ona signs for Arsenal and joins them in London <- I feel a bit unsure about this one because I never in a million years would have thought actual Ona might consider signing for Arsenal at the time when I very fictionally wrote it into No Half Measures!
the Lucy + Ona + babies + early days of falling in love + lots of sex piece I plotted out recently <- this one really has its hooks in me, started writing it last week and frankly it's the first time I've written a version of Lucy who is so completely stress free (even moreso than in London at Last). I am kind of obsessed with the very sexy confidence she's exuding even in just these first few pages haha
I'm also open to requests! I have to connect with an idea to write it, but feel free to send in a pitch and I'll happily see what I can do.
When are you going to upload the next chapter? The story is at a super interesting point, I can't wait to read what comes next. I hope we get the surprise of two chapters one week.
Thank you! I was hoping to upload tomorrow, but I’ve been down with the flu all week. 😢 The next few chapters are so pivotal to the plot that I want to edit with a clear head. I’m on the mend now, but it might take an extra day or two to make sure everything’s ready. Hopefully by Sunday at the latest!
