Your ship, broke: longing looks, kissing, flirting, holding hands, multiple interactions per episode

My ship, based: tying their dicks together with a red string

I think in the end, the true winners are Jan/Colin shippers. They stood and sat next to each other SO MANY TIMES. They shared words! They TOUCHED!

Being Hughmass fan is like: THEY INTERACTED! COLIN SPOKE DIRECTLY TO JAN!!! WE’RE EATING! \o/

Where is my trope fic of post season 1 hiatus Colin hooking up with a guy on Grindr (a guy who is Dutch - and according to his own admission, absolutely hates football, worst sports ever, never seen a match, do you hate football too, that’s good, let’s absolutely hate football together - so minimum risk) and then, days later, being introduced to their new transfer player… oh hey, whoops. 😨

Option 1) they recognise each other

Option 2) Colin recognises ‘Peter’ but Jan doesn’t recognise him

Option 3) Jan recognises ‘John’ but Colin doesn’t recognise him

Option 4) they don’t recognise each other… UNTIL!

Crack, angst, smut, so much can fit into this bad boy.

Why not BOTH though, picture this: 5 times Roy and Colin are at the same gay bar fic.

First: Colin is new to London and new to Richmond team. Thinks he spots his scary grumpy captain with a group in the corner booth. Freaks out. Later convinces himself that there's no way because his scary captain would never smile like that.

Second: Roy thinks he sees Colin in the gay club, debates following the familiar figure and confronting him because if it is Colin then why the fuck is he at a gay bar clearly grinding against men when he's a premiere league player? Roy then decides not to do this cause a) he doesn't want Colin to think he's against it (he just wants to keep him safe from the press) and b) he's none of his business

Third: They physically bump into one another, Colin runs and Roy chases after him cursing both the player and his bad knee as he does so. He finds Colin and surprises him by helping him calm down and by being supportive. Colin still clearly feels weird about Roy knowing but is more than happy to take the other man up on his offer to get out of there and get a kebab. They talk more over food and Roy ends the night, glad to see colour having returned to Colins fave.

Fourth: The team wins an away match and Roy frowns when Colin makes his excuses not to go out with the team. It takes Roy a minute to realize why Colin isn't up to the team celebrations (especially when the taken members of the team are declaring that they're gonna be the best wingmen ever) but when he remembers, Roy decides not to tag along either (Keely's still in London anyway so it's not like he's letting anyone down). Roy catches up with Colin and tells him that they are going to find a gay bar and get him laid. Colin makes his signature confused face but rolls with it because he's happy and excited and wants to get laid. Him and Roy actually end up befriending some drag queens and have one of those incredible never forget nights and although Colin doesn't get laid, he does think that eating kebabs with drag queens and Roy at 3AM is equally as good.

Five: Colin and Roy meet in the gay bar once again and half way through the conversation, a blonde man wraps his arms around Colin from behind and rests his chin on Colins head. It takes Roy a minute to recognise the mystery man as Jan Maas and quietly curses when he realizes slowly that the two of them are like together-together. Colin teases Roy for this slow realisation after admitting he and Jan were doing a terrible job of hiding it and then Roy would likely try interrogat them and give Jan some warning about never hurting Colin.

It would have angst and fluff and Hugh hughmaas and a great brotp!

Anon. Nonnie. Can I call you Nonnie?

I don’t know who you are but I LOVE you. This is perfect. It’s like a full 3 course meals, starters and drinks included! It has EVERYTHING!!!

That part with kebabs at 3am is now my favourite thing Ted lasso and no one can take that away from me!

Colin and Jan totally had sex while Jan was wearing nothing but that Air Jordan hoodie, right?

[kirkenovak]

Ok.

But.

Colin and Jan accidentally discovering they are both gay and being like “cool, a guy I can regularly have sex with, with no fear of being outed”. They become shagbuddies. Purely physical, no strings attached, easy, open relationship. One of them is even in love with someone else; maybe Colin has a thing for Isaac, maybe Jan left someone behind.

It’s all fun and games until one of them realises he’s falling for the other guy, something they absolutely promised each other they wouldn’t and couldn’t possibly do. That - when they forgotten to paying attention - the feelings for [redacted] became a dull ache while the feelings for the current partner have blossomed and taken root.

This cannot be. This thing now has to end. This wasn’t part of the deal. This is the opposite of what it was meant to be. They need to break up!

You know what comes next, right?

~*~*~ Angst ~*~*~

but with a happy ending
