obsessed with this shot like…not only do we have two aces boyfriendism going on the back, we also have whatever’s going on with jan and richard there (did he just boop him?) and colin acting out charades trying to make his bumbercrush laugh and isaac is probably recalling this moment when he guesses who colin thinks is the fittest on the team AND THE FOUND FAMILY OF IT ALL

Ted Lasso fics masterlist
it’s not about the wins or losses, it’s about the fandom we made along the way - and that, I think, is what I’ll miss the most
meanwhile, a masterlist of all my Ted/Trent fics:
1. The Truth Shall Make Ye Fret (T, 20k)
“Thing is, though, you gotta love the questions themselves. I guess you journalists don’t get the luxury of that, seeing’s how you gotta rush your stories out - y’all just want your answers right off the bat. But I think you gotta live the questions first. Then one day you’ll gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”
Trent takes off his glasses. “Ted Lasso, did you just quote Rilke at me?”
Ted shrugs modestly.
“I take it back,” says Trent. “You don’t need media training at all.”
In 48 hours, Trent Crimm lands a scoop, implodes his career and makes some drastic life decisions. And then there's the aftermath. And Ted, of course.
2. they will see us waving from such great heists (T, 21k)
“Well, like the Gambler himself says - you got to know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em. Know when to walk away, know when to run. And the latter would be about now, because I think this house is on fire.”
In which Trent Crimm, Interpol, investigates the theft of Rupert Mannion’s painting by a mysterious thief dubbed The Greyhound. FBI Special Agent Ted Lasso gets in the way. Heist!AU
2a. Trick Plays (T, 6.4k)
Snippets from the Such Great Heists universe, including Crimminal Intent, The Prying Dutchman and We Provide Leverage.
3. constant as a northern star (constantly in the dark) (T, 10.5k)
“I just met Ted Lasso,” Sachiko Crimm says bluntly when her ex-husband picks up.
Trent is silent for a while. “And?” he says finally.
Sachiko gives it five seconds, and then she bursts out laughing.
“Stop it,” says Trent wearily.
The saga of Trent Crimm and his independent ex-wife
4. all the men and women merely players (T, 50k)
"So let me get this straight. You, an American whose career highlights consisted mainly of appearing on Saturday Night Live, decide in the wake of the apocalypse to lead a touring Shakespeare company across the ruins of England."
"Oh, I know. Heck, I said as much to Rebecca when she suggested it. I said, 'You could fill two Internets with what I don’t know about directing Shakespeare.' And she said, 'Ted, the Internet doesn’t exist any more.'"
Trent Crimm meets Ted Lasso by chance at a Shakespeare play. Five years and the end of the world later, they meet again at another. A Station Eleven post-apocalyptic theatre AU (no knowledge of Station Eleven necessary to read), WIP but updating real soon!
It’s been an honour to write for this fandom, I love you all so very much (on three!)

Colin/Jan
i love them so much together forever and ever, they really have my whole heart
who’s the cuddler: Colin, no Qs asked. He doesn't even know he's doing it either. Sure, Jan will initiate cuddling when he's having a rough day or if he knows Colin is, but Colin will get his hands all over Jan until Jan is forced to ask how Colin is even able to cuddle him in this position.
who makes the bed: Jan. They're both slow getting ready in the morning and it's usually Jan who remembers to make the bed before they leave the house for the day.
who wakes up first: Colin. He likes to wake up and then spend at least 30 minutes in bed cuddling Jan (and kissing him awake? 👀) before actually getting up to tackle the day.
who has the weird taste in music: Jan. Colin usually chalks Jan's music taste to "just Dutch stuff" until one day when he actually takes a solid listen and realizes Jan just has an insane taste in music.
who is more protective: Jan. He is fiercely protective of Colin and he's not afraid to speak up about it. Has Jan killed to protect Colin before? In another timeline definitely.
who sings in the shower: Colin. He'll sing along to some Drake obviously but when he's a little tipsier the Welsh drinking songs definitely come out.
who cries during movies: Colin mostly but Jan will cry during a part of a movie that Colin will have never expected Jan to cry during.
who spends the most while out shopping: Colin. Luxury is something that's readily available to him and he's happy to use it as he can. Jan will splurge though when it's something he deems worthy of a splurge (like an engagement ring for when he finally proposes to Colin, say what?)
who kisses more roughly: Jan. Jan loses his fucking mind every time he looks at Colin. All he wants is to push Colin against a wall and leave the world's longest trail of hickies.
who is more dominate: Colin. Colin loves to take control and top and Jan is happy to relent.
my rating of the ship from 1-10: 23097498279482374298/10. Probably one of my first ships in TL. I love their dynamic and how blunt Jan is but how earnestly Colin will take it. Plus who doesn't love a height difference?
send me a ship and i’ll answer these questions
