Summary
The sound of Baran bouncing the ball echoes through the stadium. She looks up, her eyes locking onto Trinity from across the net. An infuriatingly relaxed smirk plays at the corner of Baran’s lips. A smirk, really? A fucking smirk?
Trinity, the current world number two, comes up against her idol, retired Grand Slam champion Baran Al-Hashimi, in a charity tournament and it doesn't end well for her.
Or, a sort of enemies to lovers tennis AU.

Summary
“Will you kiss me?”
An interminable silence passes, during which Baran’s eyebrows twitch imperceptibly and Trinity tells herself to run at least thirty times, and convinces herself to stay at least thirty one.
Baran frowns. “You’re drunk.”
She almost laughs at the sheer absurdity. Of course she’s drunk, if she weren't, this conversation never would have happened.
“I know. Will you kiss me?”
--------
The unstoppable force of Baran Al-Hashimi meets the immovable object of Trinity Santos.

Summary
Lady Al-Hashimi glances down at Trinity, then back up to Augusta. “Did Trinity not inform you?”
“Inform me of… what?”
Lady Al-Hashimi laughs, soft and sweet.
“That she is my wife, of course.”
or
Baran’s husband dies – and subsequently leaves her, and their two year old son to deal with the aftermath.
Enter Trinity Santos, who’s long resigned to living the life of a spinster. That is, until her mother decides that a married rake of a daughter would at the very least be better, than an unmarried rake of a daughter.
(Cue, a fake marriage plot).
(or, alternatively: trinity needs a wife, baran needs a distraction, and i wrapped all of their issues up nicely into a regency au).

Summary
Twenty to thirty years. She had done the math in that courtroom and landed on thirty-seven and let herself exhale for the first time in years. She had been seventeen and wearing a blouse her mother had pressed the night before because her mother had needed something to do with her hands in the same way her Nanay was cooking all day, and she had sat in the second row and listened to the sentence and let the number settle over her like something solid. Like a foundation. Like something she could build on top of.
She was twenty-eight.
And he had been good.
or
trinity's roommate moved out, her situation-ship is over, and her abuser was just released from prision.
