    Summary

    It starts like this:

    They've won, they've beaten West Ham, and Colin is so happy his heart feels like it could beat right out of his chest. Fans are streaming on to the field, an absolute tsunami of red and blue, all around him, and then he's there.

     

    Michael.

     

    It ends like this:
    Football gone Faggy?
    AFC Richmond's Collin Hughes spotted kissing unknown man in celebration post historic win against favored West Ham.
    [see page 19 for more]

    And. Well.

    It was always going to end like this, wasn't it.

    Summary

    These are the facts of the situation:

    First, the stands at the Greyhounds’ training facility are particularly slippery after rain.

    Second, Trent is not as coordinated as he would like to believe.

    If he had known that Colin’s heroic rescue would result in this spiraling storm of whispers, Trent would have asked the universe to let him fall. Sure, it would have come with a loss of pride and respect, perhaps would have eradicated the last shreds of his dignity, maybe would have even resulted in a trip to the A&E if he hit his head, but –

    It has to be better than this.

    Trent wonders idly if he did hit his head and this is all a very bizarre dream.

    Or: AFC Richmond think that Colin and Trent are in a secret relationship and are trying very hard to be supportive. Colin and Trent just want to be free from this nightmare of miscommunication.

    (A story about the struggles of coming out even after the hard part's finished, Trent's deep-rooted insecurities, and Richmond’s misguided attempts at being allies)

    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 took Colin a moment to remember the last time Michael had told him that he was proud of him – after the match against West Ham last season, just before Colin kissed him in front of the entire world. The moment that had separated his life into a before and an after.

     

    The 22/23 Premier League season – or, Colin comes out. What comes next?

    Will had been given time off from travelling with the team because he wanted to sit with his mum while she finalised her divorce on Monday morning. That still meant the team was down their favourite cuddle toy/sex toy/lucky charm.

    Summary

    Michael's Bantr date turned out to be named Colin. He was gorgeous and charming and great in bed, and they hooked up six times before Michael even learned his last name. Colin was clear on what was happening: he was in the closet, and he was not coming out, ever, under any circumstances. If they were going to have a relationship at all, Michael had to be okay with that, and he was. It was Colin himself who turned out not to be.

    Or: Michael, Colin, and the slow journey out of the closet.

    Summary

    “I’ve got it!” Isaac proclaimed standing suddenly and walking over to the strategy whiteboard, flipping it to the blank side. He then started to draw out some sort of diagram, quickly titling it ‘Not Being Homophobic About Colin’s Sex Life’.

    Colin’s mouth was hanging open as he watched in silent amazement and horror as the team debated how to categorise various sexual activities. At one point, someone suggested that images might be a helpful aid, and next thing he knew, there were about 15 different stick figures having sex scattered across the whiteboard.

    OR: Colin Hughes and the slow journey to become the strongest and most capable version of himself.

    Summary

    It started as a joke: since coming out, Colin has become Richmond's resident dickpic expert, and now no one will send a dickpic unless Colin's given it his thumbs up. Jamie just wants Colin to approve his dickpics.

    (Actually, Jamie wants Colin to think his are the best dickpics of anyone on the team.)

      Bookmark Notes:

      Ted would be the first one to admit that he didn't know a darned thing about football when he arrived at Richmond. So no, he was not at all prepared for the awful, horrifying truth he discovered: that football clubs were allowed to keep some of their players as indentured servants -- slaves, to be more accurate. He wasn't prepared to take on a tradition that allowed for physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, all in the name of winning football matches.

      As for Colin and Jamie, who were both sold as indentured servants when they were kids and have barely survived since then, they long ago learned not to trust anyone but each other. Especially not with an owner like Rupert Mannion, who's been happily abusing his authority over them for years. They know better than to believe anyone will help them.

      Luckily, Ted believes enough for all of them. But he's got his work cut out for him, because a system that will accept human trafficking in exchange for football excellence is not one that will change easily...

    Summary

    “So, Colin, how are you feeling today?”
    Colin takes a short breath. In front of him, Dr Sharon Fieldstone is looking at him intently. Her expression is unreadable, but her eyes are kind.
    “Yeah, good, yeah. It’s been a bit of a weird week, but other than that, good.” Colin stammers.
    “I can imagine,” Dr Sharon says, opening her notebook and making the first notes on an empty page. “Why don’t you tell me what brought you here?”

     

    Season 2, as told through Colin's perspective and his sessions with Dr Sharon.

    Summary

    Jamie had grown a lot during his time as a Greyhound. He went from being a young ingénue who was an absolute terror to everyone around him to being a kind team player who everyone loved being around. This was a tough journey, and if Jamie was being completely honest with himself, he was a little lost now that he was a new and improved person.

    He had been lost. He had been confused and looking for the answer for the next part of his life. He certainly didn’t expect that answer to come in the form of a seven year old son, but now that answer was sitting on his couch, and it was his job to figure all of this out.

    ...

    Or, Jamie finds out he has a kid and it turns his, and consequently Roy's, lives upside down.
