Fics like broken game, mended heart

Connell Waldron has always defined himself by his strength, his power on the rugby field, and his ability to keep going no matter what. But when a sudden injury leaves him sidelined for months, he’s forced to face the painful reality of vulnerability, both physical and emotional. With the world he’s always known slipping from his grasp, it’s Marianne who quietly remains by his side, offering the support he never knew he needed. As Connell navigates his painful recovery, both on the field and within himself, he realizes that the true strength lies in letting others help him heal. Through the slow, aching process of recovery, Connell learns that some of the most profound connections are built in silence, and sometimes, the greatest battles are fought in the spaces where love quietly blooms.
