Summary
The disappointment was forgotten entirely by 1:47 a.m., when he found himself pressed against the mirrored wall of a lift in the Gran Hotel Melia Torre Melina. It wasn’t his first time kissing a man, or even his second – but it was the first time it was Roy Kent, his manager, and he was watching it over Roy’s shoulder more than feeling it on his lips, repeated all around them in an ascending, dimly lit box that he prayed didn’t have a camera – and it must’ve been the hundredth time since Amsterdam that he felt confused about what something between them meant, what they were to each other.

Summary
It was a fifty-fifty shot, he thought. But Ted had said no, he didn’t think it was a good idea, and they sat quietly together at the bar, sipping beer until it was time for Ted to head home and call his son. When Ted got up to leave, Jamie felt a sharp, terrifying pang in his chest, and he considered—

Summary
Three years after his retirement from playing, former Chelsea star Roy Kent is set to return to his boyhood club for the 20th anniversary of the opening of Sunderland’s Academy of Light. The ceremony will conclude with the unveiling of a new training pitch named in Kent’s honour, a testament to his enduring impact on the club.
In 1991, a nine-year-old Kent relocated from London to Sunderland to enrol in training at the Charlie Hurley Centre, then home to the club’s youth academy. Despite interest from other clubs, Kent chose Sunderland on the same day he received their offer. When asked about his decision, the young player simply said, "My grandad loves Sunderland, so I do too."
On a road trip to Sunderland, a few detours shine a light on memories buried and words unsaid, revealing a greater task within their journey.

Summary
“If there’s a big man coaching Richmond…” Roy gestures broadly—as insultingly broad as he can. “I haven’t seen him.”
Jamie looks unimpressed. Like he’d been waiting to be hurt but expected more. Looks fucking disappointed. Roy’s not done.
“All I see is a little boy, barely two years into a job he thinks he deserves because he’s got the loudest mouth in the room. With a cheap win under his belt because he probably got on his knees for the referee.”

Summary
After their triumphant win in Mom City, Roy and Jamie decide to stay behind in Manchester for an extra night. As they explore the city on foot (and wheelchair), they discover things about both each other and themselves.
Roy looks like a magazine clipping pasted onto an incongruous background, making an improbable collage, clashing figures from his personal mythology with just some fucking place where Jamie grew up.

Summary
John’s bright as the sun and twice as dangerous to look at. You’re just a fucking weed in the cracks of a sidewalk. Hoping he’d shine down on you was all you had, and then he left for college, leaving you with less than the nothing you had. Your void filling with cold dark waters, losing the shape of yourself, trying to move on and failing. Now he’s back, burning you up under him, and you’re taking what you can get.

Summary
Prompt: “Dave didn’t get to eat a lot growing up and was stoked about being able to alchemize food on the meteor – a kinda shitty mimic of food is still food! But soon he started feeling guilty for eating that much. Karkat being there for him and helping him through his feelings about it would be very sweet.”

Summary
You woke up this morning, nervous as fuck, and almost broke the coffee pot. Once you came back to your body, you took a shower. You styled your hair. You put on something nice and spritzed cologne in all the right places. You text John, "todays the day, im popping the big q," like you think a man excited to propose to his girlfriend should. You convince yourself the nerves are because you don't want her to say no, when the truth is that you don't want her to say yes.
