it’s really important to me when men put their heads in women’s laps. one of the most important things i can see on my tv. men laying their heads in women’s laps or men sitting and women standing and the man holds her around the middle and presses his face into her tummy as she hugs him around the shoulders. two very important poses. extremely soul igniting tableaux.

has this been done yet

ACES AT THE WATER'S EDGE - ROY KENT.

with the departure of afc richmond's wonderkid, the club is desperately on the hunt for a new coach. lucky for them, you’ve just been wrongfully terminated from your position over at west ham. however, with your outlook on the football world tainted and massive hesitation due to your past with a particular member of its coaching staff, you’re less than convinced about the job. but, that same person may just be the reason you change your tune.

told through alternating timelines, you and roy must work to be the neutral, very mature adults you are and navigate the results of your nearly decade-long feud in order to lead richmond to victory. because that's what you are. neutral. everything between you two stops at the water's edge.

but there are absolutely no feelings involved. absolutely none.

PARTS, CHAPTERS, & MORE.

1. bolt from the blue.

2. fox in the box.

3. the kids ain't fine, fine.

4. whiskey, tango, foxtrot.

5. eye to eye (for an eye). (coming soon!)

more to come!

(SERIES WARNINGS/TAGS! enemies with a past to forced colleagues to lovers, slow burn (-ish? in a way? dual timelines, you’ll see), eventual smut so 18+!, major angst (*ben wyatt voice* it’s about the yearning.), swearing (duh), mentions of and allusions to (no descriptions of) sa and workplace harassment, seasons 1-3 spoilers, keeley is a friend not a foe (dear god, is she a friend), major fluff, and major usa women’s soccer influence. also author is american. sorry<3)

suuuper good. i can't believe it but I even enjoy the football talk and action. i look forward to EVERYTHING there's no ugh it's this thing again like some povs in books LMAO

Yes, the Ted Lasso cast can REALLY play soccer! ⚽

But he's OUR dork.

change in perspective.

you never thought jamie tartt could be anything but a prick.

a/n: i have no explanation for this other than i just finished ted lasso (fashionably late as always) and this man makes me giggle like a little school girl :) (this is also not spellchecked! i'll do it later ;))

pairing: jamie tart x f!assistant coach!reader

“Does someone want to explain to me just what exactly Jamie Tartt is doing out on the field?”

Make it a performance. I want you winning an Oscar at the ESPYs next year.

Gentleman- Jamie Tartt

“Don’t you think someone is bound to get worried you’re coming in here every day?” you wonder, pinching away individual blades of grass stuck among the fuzzy dandelions of Jamie’s socks.

“Nah,” he says, watching your careful attention from his place on the pillow. He’s feeling bad about putting his muddy shoes over your clean lap, but you haven’t complained once, only appreciating the easy access to touch him. “They don’t know I come up here.”

You look perplexed. “Where do they think you go?”

Jamie shrugs. “The loo?”

“The one not in the locker room? Six times a day for ten minutes?”

“I keep myself hydrated,” he tells you, lifting up his water bottle to wag it at you. “Y’know, to keep up appearances.”

I’m not really one to voluntarily search for Jaime fanfiction but the secret dating PULLED ME IN and did not disappoint. Blushing and giggling and heart beat beating with purpose !!! I love it so much.

😭😭 i'm so glad you liked it!! i haven't done too much secret dating so it was a little nerve wracking, but it's so nice to hear that you enjoyed!! thank you so much :)))
