Summary
When Ted Lasso’s father dies, his mother decides it would be best for them to get a new start somewhere else.
So, Ted finds himself uprooted and placed at a new school in a country new to him where the people speak English, but it might as well be gibberish because Ted doesn’t understand any of it. He finds himself having to accustom to wearing a uniform and fitting in.
Roy Kent is the lead footballer and one of the most popular kids as Richmond Secondary School. He had his whole career lined up, a loving girlfriend, and just about everything he’s dreamed of.
Until the new kid Ted Lasso blows it all to shit. Now, Roy must figure his way around the new kid that won’t leave him alone and basically threatens his spot on the team while juggling his classes. Roy doesn’t understand Lasso’s motive. Is he trying to irritate him on purpose? And why does he have to be so fucking charming?
Will Roy get past Ted antics? Or will he fall for him like everyone else seems to be doing.

Summary
“You were quiet this weekend,” Dani said casually, sipping his coffee, not looking at him. “Too busy for your poor friends, huh?”
Jamie tried not to flinch. “Yeah, erm. Told you. I met someone at the club. Just… didn’t wanna leave that bubble, y’know?”
He kept his eyes on the table, irrationally afraid that Dani would somehow be able to read it off his face, that he’d take one look at Jamie and know.
He should've just said it. Should’ve just mentioned it outright in the car, like, "Hey, by the way, remember that girl I went home with? Yeah, it was Keeley."
He couldn't though. Even if Dani didn’t outright say it was a bad idea to do this again, Jamie’d see it in his face, and he couldn't stand that.
—Jamie and Keeley have a summer fling. It's fine. It doesn't work out. There's no consequences.
...Are there?
—JamieKeeley have a summer fling and end up pregnant. It changes everything, and nothing, at the same time.
Season 3 AU where Jamie and Keeley have a baby and RoyJamie still end up falling in love (and Freak4Freak'ing).

Summary
This all started with Zava.
Well that’s technically a lie.

But that was too complicated and Jamie didn’t want to think about that boy anymore.
So it was easier to pretend this all started with Zava.Jamie's complicated relationship with food explored through the past and the present as Zava knocks down his carefully constructed walls

Summary
Before the two of them can slip away, Isaac claps Colin on the shoulder in a goodbye, then does the same to Michael. “It was great meeting you bruv. Colin should bring you around more often.”
“Even though I don’t know anything about football?”
“That can be fixed,” Isaac says easily. His arm is still on Michael’s, so instead of letting go, he drops his grip to hold Michael’s hand and digs a Sharpie out of his pocket. “Here’s my number, gimme a ring and I’ll explain the offside rule again. Can’t believe Colin hasn’t converted you already.”
[OR: When he is introduced to Michael during the team party at Ola’s, Isaac develops a crush on his best mate’s supposed wingman. Not that he’s aware of that.]

Summary
When practice finally ends and the players trudge back to the locker room, Dani goes straight to the boot room. Calmly, slowly, he unlaces his boots, puts them up, and then… bursts into tears.
He can’t help it. He’s deeply upset, especially at the fact that Zava had been his childhood hero, the man he’d looked up to from the start. The man who, secretly, Dani had been lusting after for such a painfully long time.
*****
AKA allegations have come out that Zava may have been on steroids. Jamie is over the moon, but Dani is devastated.

Summary
It’s fucking maddening, the way Zava had strolled into the locker room and somehow captivated everyone, like he’d put a fucking spell on them. Jamie’s eyes burn with barely-contained fury.
“There he is,” he spits out under his breath, not wanting to actually draw attention to himself but needing (desperately) to get his thoughts out somehow. “God’s gift to those who have everything.”
Roy, sitting next to Jamie, just hums and sips from his beer. After a moment, he casually says, “Best player on the team.”
*****
AKA Jamie sulks about Zava at a team celebration, and Roy is less than helpful about it.

Summary
"Jamie’s fairly certain at this point that it is the natural order of things: you have to go out and drag joy home by the ear if you want any. So, he’s got no problem with that, he never did really. It’s just, well, it’s been increasingly difficult to do that. Or to feel anything other than… He’s not entirely sure what to call the weight pressing down on his chest when he sits in the locker room before training, but it’s that. All the time. And it is fucking Zava’s fault."
...
The evening before Richmond's last training for the Boxing Day fixture, Jamie feels so alone that he decides to go and buy a Christmas tree for the first time in his life. He gets in a car accident on his way there.
He's not sure how he could have alerted anyone of that fact with his phone gone and probably broken to pieces, but people seem weirdly mad about it. Jamie's convinced that's also Zava's fault.

Summary
Everything wrong in Jamie’s life lately could be tied back to Zava. Karma, innit. Jamie had tried to warn them; he really fucking tried.
"Thanks for speaking your mind. Please continue to do so."
But Ted hadn’t listened the first time, and he definitely hadn’t listened this time. No one had listened.
A doctor would be here soon, and Jamie would nod and listen and say the right things like the good lad mummy taught him to be, but the whole time he would be thinking, fuck this, fuck you, I want to go home.

Summary
”You already won, you know? You got that turkey out of your life.”
Rebecca had, yes, but Nate Shelley had just introduced that turkey into his life.Nate would regret his inability to apologize to Ted Lasso during the West Ham match immensely. Rupert intentionally prevented him from being able to, Nate would conclude, far too much time spent overthinking that match so as to not think about what occurred after it.
”Quite a snub not to shake his hand at the end of the game.” All Lasso wanted from Nate was a handshake. Nate missed that. Missed having a boss who wanted nothing more than that.

Summary
Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start...
In the heart of Richmond there is a small drama school by the name of The Richmond Acting Academy, here the next generation of stars are trained to be the best actors they could possibly be. But it's not all plain sailing, through blood, sweat, and tears (In many cases quite literally) these guys are going to have to work their arses off to achieve greatness.
This is the prequel to Jumpers For Goalposts so works as a stand alone.
