Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.

Former liverpool players congratulating us

against odds

[tiptiptoe]

i’ve just spent the last hour crying my eyes out (crying my heart out) because we’ve finally won that fookin title ohmygod.

some days i still can’t believe we’re a team who wins things now. i’m just. so grateful. so happy. so blessed.

all season long i haven’t even dared utter anything that might jinx us because our capability to Screw Things Up is proven Beyond Fact but it’s really happened now, hasn’t it.

we’ve finally won the fucking premier league.

writing fanfic at 47: Here’s the beloved protagonist. Asleep. Deeply asleep. The other half of their OTP ferociously defends their right to sleep in as long as they want

This reminds me of a fantastic short fanfic in the White Collar fandom about Neal Caffrey sleeping, which is fun not only because it’s well written but also because the poor author is so bewildered in the notes by why it’s so popular.
