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
It looks nothing like the ones Superman used to change in, and has no time traveling capabilities that Frank can tell. The only notable thing about this phone booth is the demigod inside it. Hours ago Percy Jackson had single handedly fought an army of ghosts, securing a win by bringing down a massive glacier. And that probably wasn’t even the most impressive thing Frank had seen him do in the short time they’d known each other.
Currently he’s engaged in an argument about…Sexism? London? Frank isn’t sure.
“Tell her there will be traditional post battle cheeseburgers.” Percy says, scowling. “That will surely sweeten the pot. Please. Thank you. Goodbye.”
Son of Neptune AU where Percy calls some friends to help with the battle in New Rome on the way back from Alaska.

Summary
Roy might have given him the captain’s band, but that’s not enough. He has to earn it. He has to put the effort in, or it doesn’t count.
He needs to be worthy of it, or else what’s the fucking point?

Summary
A voice in the Speed Force reaches Barry in his Timeless state to convince him to come home. Barry misses that voice once he’s back in real-time, but he has to set things right and save as many lives as he can.
While that means Iris will be with Eddie instead of him, he can’t mourn her. She’ll always be dear to him, but he wants her to be happy above all, and he has seen every timeline and knows the life and love he will get to have instead. He just needs to keep fighting to finish his calculations in time to defeat Eobard and return to his loved ones for good.
Thankfully, a certain thief brings clarity like no one else can.
AU season 1 with Barry from pre-season 4.1 returning from the Speed Force to the moment he woke up from his original coma.

The (in)Complete Guide to Britpicking and Finer Football Details by BelmotteTower, ScoatneyHall

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.
