For example, two teammates could be shown having secret feelings for each other. The fanfic could also explore how they deal with the reactions of their friends and the community around them. It could be set in the same time period as the movie or a modern - day retelling where the characters are still influenced by the events of 'Sandlot 2' but in a different context. It could also include themes of self - discovery and acceptance as they navigate their relationship in a world that may not be fully accepting at first.
