Summary
“You nervous?” Dave turned to the sound of his brother’s voice, momentarily distracted from the half-folded paper in his hands.
“Nah, not really?” he replied with a shrug, partially surprised at the question. “This job seems pretty standard. Transporting a retired ship to its home planet for scrapping. Easy peasy.”
Born as a set of quadruplets, Dave and his siblings grew up attached to each others’ sides like a human monkey chain. Having each others’ backs proved more difficult once they became young adults, however. Their separate interests began pulling them in different directions, but thankfully Dave and his siblings did share the desire to leave Mars together. They had all decided to go the “interstellar traveler” route, and agreed to take multiple tracks at the Interstellar Travel Academy to become their own self-sustaining crew and eventually buy their own ship.
One morning Dave woke up to an Earth-based company looking for an individual with both engineering and pilot experience, which he was. With only one other crewmate aboard the payout would be insanely good, so Dave took it without hesitation. And now the day had finally come.

Summary
The notepad feels old. The pages slightly yellowed, the cover a little frayed. This isn’t a new notebook.
Curiosity gets the better of him. It always does
Press Conference - new coach
- Arrived early. Half the room is already waiting. Anticipation thick, but not in a good way. People are ready to mock, not listen.
- This is going to be a disaster.
First sighting of Ted Lasso:
- Walks in smiling. Far too relaxed for a man about to be eaten alive. Looks surprised, doesn’t look that nervous. Should be.
- What is that mustache? (Note: Find out if it’s intentional or just unfortunate.) --

Summary
Trent Crimm has always had a bit of a thing for Ted Lasso, although ethically he certainly has not. Now that he is seated up close, that bit of a thing might be a bit bigger than he was prepared for. It’s a shame Ted is a straight man from the Midwest.

Summary
Fic is now complete. I'll be honest, the first three chapters are not my finest work and I may go back and fix them, but I'm pretty happy with the rest of the fic.
Premise:
Trent runs into Ted on the streets of Liverpool after the Greyhounds defeated Everton F.C. This is not the Ted Lasso he's seen in the press room.These two men do not have their lives together and trying to do whatever this is, is a supremely bad idea. But they are going to do it anyways.
Snippet:
Ted shudders at the contact and steps back, his hand running through his hair. He’s breathing hard after his outburst, his body screaming at him to do something. Fight, fuck, run, anything to get out of his head. He shouldn’t be around people right now, but the urge to feel something other than helplessness has a grip on him.“Get out of here” he rasps out. “I’m either going to hit you or kiss you if you stick around. Neither of those are headlines I need to see.”
Trent stays frozen against the wall as his brain reboots.
