Summary
"I'm just fucking frustrated," he snaps, in a tone that he's not proud of. He forces a breath. "I'm trying... to change. And it's making me really fucking mad to realize that I can't. I'm still the same fucking prick I was when we started all this."
She stares at him like she's looking inside of him, like she's searching for something. It makes him feel like he's been sliced open, right down the middle, for her to dissect like a fucking science project.
"You just stopped yourself, took a deep breath, and reset in the middle of a sentence, when you noticed your temper flaring," she states. "Is that something you used to do?"

He's got four footballers looking to him for answers, and one of them—the one that’s become a bit special to him—is hiding a ticking time bomb under goofy outfits and complaints about classic literature.

Summary
The hunger is constant: the unspeakable, dark craving for the flickering flame of life inside another person, the urge to take and take until the eyes glaze over and there’s nothing left to burn. Ted’s got a few decades’ worth of practice at keeping a tight lid on it by now. Still, some days are harder than others.
But annoying people into being the best versions of themselves they can be—well, that’s doing them a favor in the long run, ain’t it?
[A What We Do in the Shadows AU. Ted Lasso is the nicest energy vampire you’re ever likely to meet. Promise.]

Summary
After the locker room disaster in Manchester, Roy drives Jamie home. The chaos they find when they arrive at the house swiftly proves it is not a safe place to spend the night, forcing a change of plans and a reroute to Roy’s own home.
The following day Jamie experiences, in this order:
The most bewildering breakfast of his life, a penalty kick clinic with a seven-year-old, and an overwhelming display from his teammates that brings him face to face with the fact that not only has he been accepted back in Richmond it’s also possible he might be, in a way he can’t remotely process or understand, loved here.
