When Beard brings Ted some unwelcome news that someone from his past plans to expose him, Ted has to make a decision about if he is going to come out and if so, how. Rebecca makes the surprising suggestion of bringing in Trent Crimm, now independent, for some advice. Ted lets Trent in, and Trent appreciates that. It gives them a deeper connection.

The first time Roy and Keeley say those three magic words to one another. The title is from the song "Atlantis" by Seafret
Jamie has a lot of feelings, Roy is there to comfort him. Will this relationship flatline before it even has a chance to blossom? set somewhere between season 2 and season 3, but obvs idk what's in store for season 3 sooo... takes place after "These Things I'll Never Say"
Jamie has feelings for Roy, but does Roy feel the same way? And what does it mean if he DOES feel the same way? Surely Jamie can't be gay, that would just make life way more complicated than it needs to be... but if Roy is too?
Jamie missing in pre-season is a great worry for Ted, but on going round to his house to check on him he quickly understands the important reason behind his absence.

It was only meant to be one night... it wasn't even meant to be that. Rebecca is his boss. He works for her. She was only planning to check if he was alright - a physical relationship with Ted Lasso was never meant to be on the cards. Then why do they repeatedly end up in bed together?

Keeley calls Roy and insists he come back from his vacation to Marbella 3 weeks early - what could be so pressing?
Trent Crimm never learned how to ride a bicycle, but that doesn't mean he hadn't tried over the years. This dive into Trent's past highlights some of what he's endured to become the respected reporter and single father he is today. Newly fired from The Independent, Trent hopes to find himself again on his own terms. Maybe finally learn how to ride a bike. (Trent/OC, Trent/Ted)
Finley March is running. She gets a job in a pub in London, tries to keep her head down and do what she does best: pour drinks and serve food. It's a good plan until Jamie Tartt walks through the pub door, and Ted Lasso asks her if people deserve a second chance? Despite everything she's been through, she says yes, not knowing it's exactly what the hotshot footballer needs to hear.
The dreaded day has come round again but now that Ted and Rebecca are a couple, it doesn't seem so bad. Final work in the 13th September series. Also posted on AO3 - Easily Obsessed Twitter - heclosescases
Bailey Kennedy has worked under Ted Lasso for only two years, which is why she's so surprised when he asks her to follow him across the pond for work. It's a journey that neither are truly prepared for. Both Bailey & Ted quickly learn that there is no place like home, but it takes awhile to realize that home can also be anywhere as long as you have the right people by your side.
It has been three years since his father's death and instead of things getting easier, they seem to be getting harder. Fortunately Beard is on hand to help Ted, but he was never expecting to see his friend in this state. Also posted on AO3 - Easily Obsessed Twitter - heclosescases
It is the summer break and it is vital that everyone has the chance to relax before their imminent return to the Premier League. However both Ted and Rebecca are struggling with some demons and despite the awkwardness following her affair with Sam, they look to each other in times of unease. But being 4,438 miles apart feels a lot further during difficult times.
Ted Lasso has a 21-year-old niece, Alex, who comes to visit her favorite uncle in hopes he can help her deal with the struggles of early adulthood. During her stay, she meets all the people at Richmond we all love and sometimes hate.
Colin's plan has always been to keep his sexuality under wraps at least until after his professional playing career is over but he wasn't expecting to meet a man who brings him so much happiness. He is trapped, fighting his own negative thoughts but thankfully Ted is close by. Could his coach be the first person he properly comes out to?
Sometimes asking for help in tough situations seems impossible, so after a difficult close call Ted and Beard come up with a system involving code. Cotton Candy is no longer a sweet treat but a term which fills them both with dread. Please read TWs in author's note. Also posted on AO3: @Easily Obsessed Twitter: @heclosescases
Rebecca was not expecting a call from Beard after eight on a Saturday night, certainly not this one.
Jamie's spending a quiet evening by alone, trying not to think about a certain perpetually scowling, large-eyebrowed individual and failing. He decides he'll head out and have fun alonee but what happens when said large-eyebrowed individual shows up right as he's about to leave his house? A hell of a lot actually, ending in a surprising answer to a very important question.
"I look just like him, Michelle. I can't be lookin' in the mirror and seein' his face every morning because that face quit on me." Life, loss, love, loss, life—a take on how Ted Lasso came to have his mustache and why he still needs it. (Ted/Michelle) (Ted/Sassy)
An alternate take on "Inverting the Pyramid of Success," in which Trent Crimm still writes the article about Ted Lasso's panic attack, but is also forced to disclose the status of their relationship. Here's what happens after that… The path out of the dark forest continues to be a lengthy one, but it's so much easier to navigate with those you love by your side. (Trent/Ted)
It's the evening of Rebecca's dad's funeral and Ted is still not doing great from his earlier panic attack. Set a few months into Ted Lasso and Trent Crimm's relationship, things are both the worst and best they've been. (We're in the dark forest of this rom-com, but don't worry… this isn't the end of this story. There's baking and dancing for you as a peace offering.)
Ted goes a little crazy with baking desserts, and Rebecca suffers the consequences. But Ted is there to make sure she sees things aren't as dire as she thought.
