    Summary

    “What the fuck are you doing here?”

    From where he’s perched on Roy’s chair, one leg pulled up to his chest to rest his chin on his knee, Jamie scoffs. His hair - left a touch longer since the last time Roy saw him - looks wet, like he’s only recently showered, and Roy feels the familiar twitch of irritation in his throat at Jamie’s flippant use of the Richmond facilities, despite not having played for them for the better part of seven years.

    “Hello to you too, Coach,” Jamie grins, wide and toothy, his sharp teeth glinting in the harsh fluorescent light. “Did you miss me?”

    --

    Ten years after Ted leaves - and seven since leaving Richmond - Jamie comes home to Roy.

    Summary

    This is not fic! This is a non-fiction resource. I hope this resource will be something that is useful to anyone in this fandom who either wants to write fic from the POV of any one of Ted Lasso’s British characters and is not British themselves, or wants to read and write fic and, like Ted, knows nothing about the ins and outs of football and the Premier League.

    I've helped a number of viewer friends and writer friends with some of these things already, and I’ve also done extensive research for my own fics and had really positive responses to my author notes, so I thought it might be helpful to compile and share some details regarding Britpicking, British culture and football itself for anyone who wants to make use of this resource, either as a viewer, reader or writer!

    16.11.2022: Latest update - England International Duty and the 2022 World Cup. Part one of a long update about players' potential roles in the World Cup and playing for a national team in general. Very Jamie-centric, so mainly about his future England career, but a few other details for others included, as well as some basics on the current controversy and how to potentially write around it.

    Summary

    It’d be one thing, wouldn’t it, if Roy’d wanted to keep it casual. Just get each other off sometimes, not altogether unheard of in the showers.

    The alternative is to actually see where this goes, and that’s too terrifying to look straight at. To be in a—relationship—with the person who knows Jamie brutally well, the person who shaped him before he even knew him, and also a man and his goddamn coach, and Keeley’s other ex and, and, and.

    It’s fucking Roy.

    If Jamie knew what was good for him, he’d get out of this before it properly starts. There’s too much at stake. Call it the heat of the moment, laugh it off. Because the thought of opening up all the way just to lose him doesn’t remotely sound like something Jamie’s willing to bear.

    But then Roy looks at him.

    And Jamie’s not sure he knows what’s good for him after all.

    Summary

    Fresh out of law school and fresh out of a relationship, what Alex Claremont-Diaz needs most is a goddamn vacation. He plans to spend his summer on a small island off the coast of Wales, three months of peace and relaxation and figuring out what the hell he actually wants to do with his life. But all that is thrown out the window when he runs into his ex-fling, Henry Fox, who just so happens to be running the hotel he's staying in for the next three months.

    Four years prior, Henry Fox meets the most beautiful boy he's ever seen at an NYU party: Alex Claremont-Diaz. Henry soon finds himself whisked away to Texas with Alex, a summer full of poetry and skinny dipping and stolen kisses, and everything is perfect. Almost too perfect for a summer fling. Yet Henry can't stop himself from falling in love with Alex, falling for the lake house and everything Alex loves, even when he knows it's too good to last.

    Two summers, two places of falling in love, one filled with memories of the last. It leaves Alex and Henry wondering: is this summer truly going to be their last one together?
