Hi!! I hope you’re well !! Thank you so much for keeping the Jaimie Tartt community well fed like I will forever be in your debt you’re amazing‼️‼️ My humble request is in honor of SNTV:) My favorite songs are Enchanted and Sparks Fly so maybe a complicated angsty start up to a fluffy love confession (like they just haven’t gotten the timing right until now or they were friends and then something happens to her). IDK anyway sorry for the word vomit and thank you bunches for all your hard work!!

I loved this request!! Also sorry, all my fics seem to be ending the same way this days😬 But we keep getting to the ending in new and exciting ways so hopefully no one cares! Enjoy!

wonderstruck

You knew the moment you met Keeley Jones that your friendship was going to be a wild ride. You were still in uni, and had picked up a one-off job as one extra on a commercial shoot. The pay wasn’t bad (hey, it was extra money) and you were willing to sacrifice a Saturday for it. Keeley was one of the frontrunners for the commercial, all big hair and wild makeup. You had bumped into her by chance at the food table, started talking, and the rest was history. One random job turned into a solid four years of friendship. It was a funny dynamic between you and Keeley, because she was both older sister and antagonizer. She liked to pull you out of your comfort zone, taking you to clubs, parties, events, whatever as her plus one. Well, until she started dating a prick footballer named Jamie Tartt.

You didn’t meet him while they were together. You’d already known Keeley for two and a half years at that point, and understood she had shit taste in men. You weren’t afraid to tell her that to her face and she’d just laugh and say, “I know babes, but it’s right fun, innit?”

You’d laugh and shake your head, then go back to carefully painting her nails in the brightest, sparkliest colors imaginable.

Keeley was really, really good for you.

She called you the night she broke up with Jamie, and you came over to her house with a giant bottle of champagne only to find her and another woman, a Rebecca Welton, already proper tipsy and giggling on the floor. They were still dolled up from that night’s benefit while you were in pajamas, but you didn’t let that stop you. You downed half a bottle while Keeley and Rebecca cheered. You were glad Keeley had dumped that awful, cheating, self-absorbed prick. She deserved so much better.

You were glad when she started dating Roy Kent. He was a lot more down-to-earth than she was, and they were a good balance for each other. You wondered if Keeley gravitated toward those of a more serious nature in the same way you were drawn to those who were more spontaneous.

Post-uni, you had started your own business. It was kind of a random venture, something you had begun for a friend, but then it took off. You made the most outrageous, eccentric day-to-day dresses, taking a simple pattern then transforming it with wild patterns, tulle, and the occasional sparkle. Keeley, angel that she was, modeled some of them and put them on her instagram. And just like that, you were selling out. 

It was absolutely insane, but you were able to spend the week making two dresses and then turn over a nice profit. You felt like you were overcharging but Keeley said, “Babe, if you’re selling out, you might be undercharging.”

All that to say, life with Keeley Jones as your friend was absolutely magical. You’d do anything for her. Including going to a fucking benefit as her plus one.

—

“Why can’t you just take Roy?”

“Roy’s already got his own invite. He’s a coach, so he has to be there even though he’s going to fucking hate it.” Keeley laughs. She thinks Roy’s grumpiness is endearing.

“Alright, why’d you get a plus one then? It doesn’t make sense, Keels,” you counter.

Keeley refuses to meet your eyes. “It’s entirely possible that Rebecca gave me one so that you’d come.”

“Keeleyyy,” you groan.

She shoves your shoulder playfully. “She knew if she sent you a direct invite you wouldn’t go, and she said she’d let us meet up at her house to get ready together! C’mon babes, it’s going to be so much fun and we’ll look sooo fucking fit walking the red carpet together, yeah?”

She gives you her widest puppy-dog eyes, lower lip pushing out. You sigh.

“Fucking fine. Fine. But you’re coming with me to pick out a dress. And you’re buying my coffee.”

Keeley cheers and tackles you in a hug. “You won’t regret it, I swear. Worst case you can just bitch about it with Roy the next day.” You laugh. You and Roy bitch about a lot of things together.

—

The red carpet is absolutely terrifying. It’s louder than you would have thought and the flashes from the camera are giving you a headache. 

“How the hell do you do this?” you ask Keeley through a smile. 

She laughs for the cameras. “Loads of practice, babe,” she replies in a perfect pose. “Now look at me and laugh at something I said.”

You’re almost done and the paps are asking for a photo of Keeley and Roy, so you wait off to the side near the entrance for them. You crane your neck to try to find Rebecca, to no avail. You do however catch the eye of someone with a very nice fashion sense and very, very blue eyes. He gives you a once-over and grins. You blush and turn back to Keeley and Roy who have finished and are making their way over to you. Keeley grabs your hand and says, “Hi Jamie!” while Roy rolls his eyes. Jamie says, “Hey Keeley,” and nods to Roy. “Grandad.”

“Fuck you,” Roy replies, and you’re surprised at the borderline affectionate tone he’s using. Especially considering Jamie is Keeley’s ex. He’s not really what you would have expected, but you don’t have time to dwell on that because Keeley’s dragging you inside the benefit venue.

—

Jamie is sitting at the same table as you. 

Correction: he’s sitting right fucking next to you and it’s all you can do to avoid eye contact with him. You had introduced yourself to him with a barely suppressed grimace and steeled yourself for a long, misogyny-filled night. 

You were so tense that Keeley put her hand on your knee and said, “I’ve got to go reapply my lipliner, d’you want to come with?”

You got up and followed her, feeling far too exposed in your backless, purple-sequined dress. 

“Alright babe, what gives?” she asks once you’ve made it to the bathroom. “You’re wound up so tight I could stick coal up your ass and get a diamond.”

That makes you crack a smile and you shrug. “I’m just tired, that’s all.”

Keeley shakes her head. “Don’t you fucking lie to me, I’ve had four years of practice knowing exactly when you’re telling me a fib.”

“Who’s fibbing?” Rebecca says, walking in the door. “I saw Keeley drag you in here, and I didn’t want to miss out on some girl talk.”

“Oh thank god you’re here,” you say, relieved. “I’ve been looking for you for the past hour and couldn’t find you.”

Rebecca self-consciously smooths her hair. “I’ve been- busy,” she says. “But this isn’t about me. What are you fibbing about?”

You look between Rebecca and Keeley then deflate. “I have to sit next to Jamie Tartt.”

Keeley and Rebecca share a look. “I don’t see what that’s such a bad thing,” Rebecca says.

You look at her in disbelief. “Jamie Tartt? The biggest prick in all of London, and quite possibly all of England? Cheated on Keeley multiple times and all-around arsehole?”

Keeley grimaces. “Yeah, not one of his finer points in life.”

“See?” you say. “He’s the fucking worst!” Rebecca and Keeley share another look.

“Stop fucking doing that,” you say. “What?”

“Darling,” Rebecca says gently, “he’s changed.”

You’re not buying it, a sentiment that is evident in your expression.

“It’s true, babes,” Keeley affirms. “And look, I’d probably be the fucking last person to say it. But he has! He’s loads better than he used to be, an absolute sweetheart. Even Roy loves him.”

You snort.

“Okay, maybe love is a strong word,” Keeley amends. “But he likes him! Roy said Jamie’s the best player on the team, and possibly one of the best in the country!”

You’re still not buying it. 

“Listen,” Rebecca says. “Give him one hour free of bias. Forget who he was and give him a chance. You might be surprised.”

You look to Keeley, unsure. It is her ex, after all.

To your surprise, she’s smiling and nodding. “Go for it,” she says. “You never know what could happen.” She wiggles her eyebrows at you and you laugh. Only Keeley Jones could try to pawn her ex off on her best friend with the confident assurance that he’s a better man now. You know she’s not lying, or at least she believes Jamie’s changed. You’re not sure what to believe, but you’ll take Rebecca’s advice and give Jamie one hour to change your mind.

—

You’re not in your seat two seconds before Jamie starts talking to you.

“Why d’you look so nervous love? I don’t bite.” He grins. “Much.”

You catch yourself before you grimace and instead say, “This whole thing isn’t really my scene. It’s a lot of people I don’t know, and I’m only here ‘cause Keels asked me to be her plus one.”

Jamie still has that obnoxious grin on his face. “What does Roy think about you stealing his girlfriend? Can’t imagine he’d take it lying down.”

You glance over at Keeley and Roy. His arm is around the back of her chair and she’s leaning into him ever so slightly. 

You say, “I’ve been here longer than he has, so if anyone’s stolen her, it’s him,” and you watch the pieces click into place in Jamie’s head.

“Shit,” he says. “You’re the best friend. Shoulda known when you told me your name.”

You shrug.

“Makes sense,” he continues. “I wondered why you weren’t fuckin’ beside yourself to be sitting by the fittest bloke in the room.”

You roll your eyes, hint of a smile tugging at your lips.

He pulls his chair a little closer and looks at you again with those perfect blue eyes. “Seriously, I am sorry. I was a prick. It took Keeley breaking up with me for me to start gettin’ my head out of me arse.” Jamie’s words back up what Keeley and Rebecca told you. You’re not entirely ready to brush his past under the rug, but tell him that it seems like he did a right proper job of it, which makes him laugh.

“Do you really think you’re the fittest guy in here?” you ask.

Jamie gestures to the room. “Look around, babe. I ain’t lying.”

You laugh, and the tension dispels. You’ve 55 minutes to go, and then you can go back to hating him. For now, you’ll let him keep cracking jokes.

—

The hour is up, but you’re still talking to Jamie. You don’t stop to consider why he’s still talking to you (maybe because he can’t stand the idea of anyone hating him) but he is. It’s actually enjoyable, so when he asks you to accompany him to the dance floor, you look to Keeley for approval instead of outright rejecting him.

Keeley says, “Go on babe, I’m gonna try to convince this one to get out there for at least one dance,” and Roy says, “Fuck no.”

You let Jamie take your hand as he promises, “No funny business, I swear,” and you just laugh.

You laugh through three songs because Jamie has a way of making you giggle. He swings you around and executes all kinds of moves that you’re sure you could never replicate, but you assume that being a Premier League footballer means he’s got to be coordinated. Makes sense that he can dance.

The fourth song is a slow one, so you move to leave the dance floor but Jamie catches your hand.

“Stay,” he says. “I’m having a really great time with you.”

You feel Keeley kick the bottom of your shoe from where she’s swaying with her arms around Roy’s neck. 

It makes you stumble a little, just enough for Jamie to have to catch you. He grins. “I’ll take that as a yes then.”

He puts your hands around his neck and his on your waist. It’s a soft touch, but you can feel sparks shooting up your hipbones.

You’re absolutely fucked.

Jamie doesn’t say a single thing, just sways along with the soft music and gazes into your eyes. You can’t look away no matter how hard you try. 

The song ends and you let go of Jamie. He slides a hand up you waist and down your arm, lifts your hand to his lips, and kisses your inner wrist. 

Before you can form a coherent thought, he’s gone.

Rebecca and Keeley are on you in a moment.

“You’re both coming to mine,” Rebecca says. “You have time to go home and get pajamas, but I’m getting out of here as soon as I can. I just made sure my pantry was restocked.”

—

It’s 2am. Rebecca and Keeley have successfully gotten you to admit that you like Jamie. 

Against all odds, you like him.

Fuck.

“You’re sure it’s not weird?” you ask Keeley as you pace around Rebecca’s bedroom.

“For the millionth time, babe,” she says, “I really don’t. I think you two would be fucking adorable together.”

Rebecca nods in agreement. “I’m on Keeley’s side on this one. Jamie used to be a right little shit, but he’s really turned it around. And could you please stop wearing a hole in my rug? It’s giving me anxiety.”

You abruptly stop and plop down on the bed. “What if he doesn’t like me? What if he was only trying to make me not hate him because I’m Keeley’s best friend?”

Rebecca makes an offended noise so you amend: “Sorry, one of Keeley’s best friends?”

“Listen,” Keeley says making her way to your spot on the end of the bed. She holds your arms. “I know Jamie. He was fucking interested. And he hasn’t been that way in a while. You should just fucking go for it.”

“I don’t know,” you say slowly. Rebecca and Keeley groan and flop back onto the bed.

“You’re absolutely hopeless,” Rebecca says, but it’s laced with affection. You grin.

“That’s why you love me.”

—

You don’t sleep. Keeley is sandwiched between you and Rebecca on Rebecca’s absolutely massive bed, and all you can think about is Jamie’s blue eyes and the sparks of electricity you felt wherever he touched you. 

You can still feel the kiss on your wrist.

—

It rains for three days and you refuse to go to Nelson Road. Keeley’s out sick anyway, and Rebecca is busy with work. You are too, working on a commission in electric blue. It’s very cozy inside your flat, soft music playing as the rain plinks on your roof. You’re wearing your good sweats, the ones that match and don’t have stains. Your hair is freshly clean and pulled back in a clip and there’s a pot of tea on the stove. 

Your heartbeat has not been normal since dancing with Jamie. It’s beating in an irregular pattern, horrendously out of sync with the calming sound of rain. You can’t get it to calm down so you decide to indulge and replay your entire interaction with Jamie, as a treat. 

You’re just thinking about his hands on your waist and letting your mind wander to where else you think they should go, when there’s a knock on the door. You frown.

That’s odd. Who on earth could be at your door at 7pm on a Monday in pouring rain? You pad across the living room to the door and open it to find a very wet Jamie.

“Hi,” he says, and then he’s pulling you onto the porch and kissing you in the pouring rain.

You’re soaked through to the bone, but you don’t care. All you can feel is Jamie’s hair as you run your fingers through and his lips on yours as they devour you. It’s straight out of a movie.

You shiver, and Jamie breaks away.

“Got your address from Keeley,” he says. “She’s the one who told me to come here. Can we go inside?”

You nod mutely and let him in. “Aren’t you cold?” you ask.

He just laughs. “Nah babe, I run hot. You look right fucking freezing, though. Good thing I’m here, I’ll help you warm right up.”

You’re really starting to shiver. “You should get out of those clothes,” you say through chattering teeth. 

“Could say the same about you,” Jamie replies. “Where’s your bedroom at?” 

You all but drag him up the stairs to your room. 

You think you’re going to kill Keeley for telling Jamie you liked him, but then you’re flat on your back, bare skin pressing into the duvet as Jamie Tartt presses hot kisses up your neck, and you forget all about her.

One in Eleven Million (ch.7)

damian wayne x reader x jon kent

(A/N): this is where the real-life experience I took to write this story runs out so please take any and all airplane/airline logistics with a grain of salt. And with that said, enjoy! I want to get the rest of this series out by the end of fall to hopefully have room to post the holiday fics I want to write so look forwards to the coming final chapters. And apologies, this is a short one.

edit: forgot to link the masterlist so here it is!

warnings: airplane travel, turbulence, emergency (not crash) landings, panic

wc: ~750

~~

The next forty five minutes passed in some part conversation and some part Jon showing you dozens of pictures on his phone. He had a few really good ones of Superman (the older one) and some stunning ones overlooking Metropolis. 

“My parents are reporters so they–they know people who take photos like this,” Jon explained to you, crunching on the airplane pretzels he’d reclaimed from Damian.  

You pulled out a few photos of the Gotham skyline to show the boys in turn. Your photos didn’t live up to theirs, but with your not-high-tech phone camera, those were about the best you had. 

A stronger bout of turbulence rocked even you, hands instinctively gripping the hard plastic of the armrests. A quick glance at Damian gave away that he didn’t find it regular either. 

Jon’s “This is weird right?” overlapped with the concerned cries of other passengers. You turned to Damian. 

“It feels more like a train right now than a plane.” 

“I agree. This is irregular at best.” 

You nearly missed the crackle of the loudspeaker from underneath the raised voices of those around you. 

“Ladies and gentleman, there has been a slight issue with one of our regulators. As of now, all passengers and attendants are to remain seated for their safety. Our next step is to make an emergency landing at the Philadelphia airport where there will then be connecting flights to Gotham. If you would rather find an alternate method of transport, let the front desk know as soon as we arrive so any luggage is forwarded to baggage claim.” 

You could barely process the new information over the sudden uproar. 

“This has never happened to you, I assume?” Damian spoke loudly. 

“No, nothing like this. I’d never even had a delay this bad before but this? No it-it’s crazy.” The answer to your question was chiseled into the shaken expression on Damian’s face but you asked anyway. “Either of you?”

Twin shakes of the head confirmed your assumption. 

“It’s not an emergency right? Like I know it’s an emergency landing but not a fall out of the sky kind of emergency right?” Jon’s blue eyes were wide. You shrugged helplessly.

“I want to say they’d tell us if it was but-”

“But they’ve been less than forthcoming so far so why begin now?” Damian finished. 

“Yeah,” you agreed. “Exactly.” 

Beside your seat, the emergency exit lights lit up. 

“That doesn’t bode well.” Damian pulled the words out of your brain. “But panicking,” he hissed at the woman lamenting in the row behind you, “will not solve anything.” 

You didn’t think Damian realized Jon was clinging to his hand. You didn’t think he knew he was holding yours.  

“Jon, you’re shaking the floor.” The words came out harsher than you intended. “Sorry. I didn’t mean to be-I just-it’s-”

“Sorry I just-” Jon switched from tapping his foot to holding Damian’s left hand in his, focus tuned on his fingers. Damian’s gaze was locked on where his right hand was linked with yours. You pulled away as if his gaze burned you. “I’m never flying commercial again,” Jon finished. 

The laughter that bubbled out of your mouth was more hysterical than you intended. 

Another bout of rough turbulence wracked the plane. You kept your hands to yourself his time, arms crossed against your chest to squeeze at your biceps. 

You barely heard Jon’s whispered cursing underneath the panic rising throughout the rest of the plane.

Damian stayed quiet, but the hand that wasn’t held in Jon’s was tightly clenched. If he wasn’t human, you might have expected there to be holes bored into the head of an older man across the aisle. You wanted to quiet the guy yourself; his catastrophic ranting was only adding into your own anxiety. Instead, you spent a couple minutes making sure all of the stuff in your backpack was tucked away. 

“He does know everyone else can hear him, right?” You asked as you sat up. Both boys chuckled. Jon’s fingers tapped rapidly on his thigh. 

“Alright folks,” the pilot’s voice interrupted the catastrophizing. “We’ve begun the landing process. Please be aware that further turbulence is normal. We should be on the ground soon.”

“How much longer can they call turbulence normal?” Damian ground out. You didn’t have an answer for him.

Let's Marvin Gaye and Get It On - DCEU! Clark Kent x Reader

A/N: sorry this idea got stuck in my head and I had to let it out.

pairing: DCEU! Clark Kent x fem!reader

warnings/content: p in v, creampie, breeding kink if you squint, softdom! clark

word count: 1.4k

You and Clark spent your evening the way you spent most evenings - sitting on the couch together watching television, often you choosing to catch up on Love Island or Below Deck while Clark happily sits with you, watching the baseball game on his phone, scrolling through news stories. It’s quiet and uneventful, but it’s routine, and neither of you seemed to mind usually, but tonight, tonight was different. 

Clark had been working late the past few days on a story, writing and revising and editing, piles of discarded paper tossed about the floor of his office at home, his neat, masculine writing scratched out or scribbled over on all of them. He always preferred to handwrite his notes for a story and refer to them again as he typed the final draft - “call me old-fashioned,” he’d always said. He’d been running himself into the ground trying to finish what he was working on, and you could tell the stress was getting to him as he began to withdraw from you. He’d grown quieter, becoming less and less of a conversationalist as the week went on, the normal fiery passion behind his kisses sizzling out to just sweet, soft pecks on the cheek here and there with a hollow, emptiness to them. Not wanting Clark or your relationship to suffer further, you devised a plan. 

As your show ended, your lips curled up into a grin, eyes watching Clark’s reaction to his phone to gauge when to put your plan into motion. You could hear a commercial come on during a break in the game, the sounds of a sales pitch for beers blaring through the small speaker built into his phone. Clark huffed a sigh and set the phone down before turning to look at you. He caught a glimpse of the smirk that you were now sporting, and cocked his eyebrow in response.

“You ok, baby? You’re looking at me…differently,” He started.

You slowly straddled Clark’s hips, lowering yourself into his lap as you rested your arms on his shoulders, smiling sweetly at him. The hem of your skirt lifted up as you sat, revealing your lack of undergarments. It always seemed to turn Clark on to see you like this, a tiny skirt with no barrier between his hand and your core. He loved teasing you normally - he liked the reaction he got, watching you squirm and struggle with keeping it to yourself whenever you went out together. 

“You seem tense, sweetheart,” you purred, nodding your head as your finger traced his jawline slowly.

You watched as Clark swallowed hard, his Adam’s apple bobbing as he gulped. His icy blue eyes never left you as you settled yourself onto his thighs, your hands dragging their way lazily down his torso, the flannel material of his button up shirt grazing against the pads of your fingers. He stared at you with newfound intensity, watching as your hands slipped the buttons of his shirt open one at time with ease. You began slliding the material back off his shoulders slightly, just enough to expose his skin, the dark curls of hair on his chest now very clearly visible, tapering off before trailing down his stomach to the waistline of his jeans.You drifted your touch down to his belt, undoing the metal buckle slowly, dragging your actions out to see how far you could push Clark.

“Honey, you’re driving me crazy right now, you know that?” 

His voice was soft and sweet, yet a hint of dominance lingered as he spoke, his lips just barely away from your ear, his warm breath against your earlobe was enough to set your skin alight with passion, a tingling sensation overcoming you from head to toe as you tugged on his belt, freeing it from his jeans before letting the buckle clatter to the floor. You hummed as you undid his jeans, smirking at him innocently as your eyes met his. His normally cheerfully bright blue eyes had darkened, now full of lust and wanting as he watched your every move.

You got up from his lap just enough to tug his bottoms down, letting them pool around his ankles. Your eyes drifted to the sight of his cock. No matter how many times you’d seen it over the course of your relationship, you couldn’t help but be taken slightly aback by its sheer size - thicker and longer than you’d expected the first time you’d slept with him, but even now at the thousandth time seeing it, you found yourself wearing the same proud yet intimidated smirk as you took in the sight of it. You licked your lips before taking your spot back on his lap. This time however, you sat back slightly, resting your body onto his thighs to tease him. 

Clark tutted before grabbing you by the hips and swiftly pulling you on top of his lap, thrusting his hardened cock into you. His hand gripped your hair, giving it a gentle tug to bring your gaze on to him. You let out a soft gasp, caught off guard by Clark’s sudden dominance. You loved when he took charge, but it happened so infrequently that when it did occur, you were always surprised. Clark was typically, very much an equality champion when it came to sex - you both had the same level of control and say in everything, which you did appreciate, most of the time. He smirked at the sound of your gasp, leaning in to whisper into your ear, his cock remaining inside you, though his hips refusing to move an inch for you.

“You wanted to keep my cock warm for me? That’s sweet of you, honey,” He teased, his voice rasping at you as he spoke. 

“Clark, baby,” you whined, grinding your hips into his as you tried to urge him to thrust again, “Need you.”

“Need me to do what, sweetheart?” He grunted, trying to resist the urge to thrust into you, wanting to tease you a little longer. “Need you to fuck me, please?” You begged, nodding your head. Clark gave you a devilish smile as he began bucking his hips upwards into your core, his hands holding you in place by your hips as he fucked into you. You began melting into his touch, your thighs quivering as you felt him thrusting into you harder and faster with each movement. Your hands found their way onto his shoulders, nails digging into his skin as you steadied yourself. You felt Clark growl your name into your ear before taking your earlobe between his teeth and giving it a gentle tug.

“You like feeling me fill you up, don’t you baby?” 

A loud whine escaped your lips as you bounced up and down on Clark’s cock, feeling your muscles tense up and tighten around him. Clark let out a strangled moan, saying your name as if it was a spoken prayer, worshipping your every feature, every movement as you brought him closer and closer to the edge.

“Taking me so well, honey, being such a good girl, taking all of me.”

You threw your head back as you felt him thrust harder into your spot, making you see stars with every move he made, his movements becoming less calculated, less reformed, his hips stuttering as he hit his orgasm. Your muscles gripped his cock tightly, clenching onto him as he filled you, your own orgasm following suit. As you rode it out, you felt Clark give a few slow thrusts of his hips forwards. You stood up on trembling legs, feeling everything Clark had just given you drip down your leg. He smirked up at you from his seat on the couch, dragging his finger through it before shoving two thick fingers back inside of your throbbing pussy. You let out a loud, almost pornographic sounding moan as he fucked his fingers into you.

“You like that, honey? Like when I push it back into that sweet pussy of yours?” He teased before pulling his hand away.

A trembling, quivering mess, you took your seat beside Clark back, sitting down on the couch. Clark gave you a lopsided smile as he turned to face you, nodding his head. 

“I’m less stressed out now, if that was your whole plan,” he said matter-of-factly.

“How did you know?” 

“Baby, did you forget I’m a journalist? I have sources,” he grinned, leaning in to kiss her on the cheek.

And here is Part 2 of the A.F.C. Richmond at the Eiffel Tower fic! It has footballers in an elevator, Trent Crimm and his amazing hair, a Roy/Keeley reunion (sorry I couldn't help it), and a melancholic football coach. Beware, it's very cheesy!

Part 1

A lamppost with a publicist - Part 2

Stepping out of the elevator, cold air hit the footballers' face as they ran to the railings to see Paris from above. Trent Crimm was the last one to leave the small cubicle, enjoying the wind blowing through his magnificent mane.

"You look like a fucking L'Oréal commercial," Roy Kent stated.

"Because I'm worth it," the former reporter replied.

"Fucking ruined it. Again," the assistant coach said and walked away, leaving the smiling man behind.

However, Trent couldn't enjoy the breeze for long as the wind changed direction, blowing his dark locks into his face.

"Merdre," he groaned, heading to the inner parts of the building to fix his hair.

*

The next time he was seen, he was facetiming with his daughter with his hair up in a quick bun so the wind would not mess it up any more. Near him there was Matthijs, Rebecca's Dutchman also facetiming with his daughter. Ted Lasso watched them with a sinking heart, wishing Henry was there with him. Or even calling him would have been enough, but he was sitting in a Maths class at the moment. Without his kid, being up in the tower felt pointless, the landscape had lost its beauty, his players' excitement made him feel indifferent. He was just sitting on a wooden bench, feeling more miserable than Jean Valjean on his worst days.

"Coach, is everything okay?" Sam Obisanya stepped to him, looking a little worried to see the moustached man so under the weather, especially in a place like this.

The young footballer snapped Ted out of his thoughts. He couldn't let Sam see him like this, so he forced a smile.

"Yeah, all is well," he said, trying to sound convincing, but his gaze shifted to the two fathers talking to their children.

Sam's eyes followed his and he nodded his head.

"Coach, I couldn't call my dad, but I recorded a video and sent it to him so he can still see the view," he told the other man.

A fainted smile touched Ted's lips and it wasn't the first time he stated in mind that this kid was the team's ray of sunshine.

"That's a good idea, thank you, Sam!" he said, getting up from the bench.

*

Stepping into the elevator that went to the 3rd floor which was almost the at top of the tower, Dani Rojas crossed himself, looking a little pale, while next to him, Jamie Tartt was grinning like a child, excited to see the view. However, it faded when he noticed the face of his teammate and his mouth moving.

"Are you praying?" he wondered.

"Just to make sure it's gonna be okay," Dani said, then continued mumbling in Spanish.

"I understand, it's pretty fuckin' high," Jamie said. "Do you want me to hold your hand while we go up?"

"Por favor," the Mexican footballer said.

His plam was cold and sweaty when Jamie took it. He could feel the tension leaving Dani's body as his fingers wrapped around his.

"Gracias, amigo," he said as the elevator's door closed behind them.

"De nada."

*

"What are you doing? Your teammate was there, you moron!"

"No way, he should go straight for a goal!"

Thierry Zoreaux, well, Van Damme and Moe Bumbercatch were standing by the railings, shouting and pointing downwards when Trent Crimm walked past them.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"They found some football match down there," Jan Maas told him, standing by his two teammates with his arms crossed in front of his chest. Trent stepped closer and peeked out to see the football pitch. From that height, the players looked like small dots chasing another, even smaller one.

"That guy should make a pass," the former reporter stated.

"See?" Van Damme said. "I told you so!"

Trent's mind however, was somewhere else: his gaze shifted to the landscape of Paris, trying to spot the most famous buildings. And the less famous ones he had visited before. Like that bar near the Boulevard of San Michel or the hotel on Montmartre he had spent a few nights the last time he came to Paris. It wasn't yesterday, he thought with a smirk, enjoying the panorama.

*

Roy Kent was speechless as he stood there, with his fingers around the railings, being in awe of the landscape. He was fascinated by the structure of the city itself, by the impressive buildings, even by the fucking clouds on the fucking sky. He found it so beautiful that it even hurt. And what hurt him even more was his desire to share it with Keeley, but he couldn't even if she was there in the tower, just a couple of metres away.

Little did he know that she was closer to him than he had thought. Keeley Jones was standing right behind him, but Roy hadn't noticed him until he heard her swearing, and when he turned around, she was nowhere to see. However, he could still hear her steps as she ran away (as much as one could run in the Eiffel Tower). Until that point he hadn't seen the pink sign on the floor, right in front of him: 'Spot to kiss.'

"Fuck!" Roy burst out and followed her.

Soon he could see her bright pink coat as she stood with her back to him, one hand pressed against an iron bar of the tower. From her pose he could tell she was crying which made him feel even worse.

"OI!" he shouted, and now all eyes were on him, wondering who was this fucking madman yelling in the Eiffel Tower. "Keeley!" He added, in a much softer tone.

"Roy?" She asked, looking hurt and confused. The assistant coach took a deep breath and began to speak:

"Just wanted to tell you that I'm looking at the fucking most beautiful panorama I've ever fucking seen and I cannot share it with you even if you're here and that fucking hurts," he told her, somewhat relieved that he could finally put his feelings into words. Even though he had no idea how she would react to it which was scary as hell. But at least he could say it out loud.

Keeley's eyes widened with surprise and she needed a moment to let Roy's words sink in. He watched her eyes tear up again as she was digesting his confession, with his heart becoming heavier and heavier.

She took a step forward, still struck by his words. It was an incredibly long moment, but then Keeley quickened her steps and the next thing Roy knew was her lips against his and the taste of her lipstick mixing with salt in his mouth. Overcoming the first shock, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her back. He only pulled away when he heard people clapping and cheering for them.

"Mind your own fucking business!" he shouted at them.

Then he kissed her again.

*

I forgot how beautiful this was, Rebecca Welton thought to herself looking down on the city of Paris. Rupert had made her memories of the French capital so bitter that she stopped appreciating what it had to offer. However, having her best friend and her football team here, ejoying themselves, she realised it was time to make some new memories.

Not to mention the amazing Dutchman who had just stepped to her, slipping and arm around her waist.

"I'm back," he announced, pressing a kiss on her temple.

"Have you talked to your daughter?" she wondered, melting into his embrace.

"Oh, yes," Matthijs replied with a wide grin. "She sends greetings to the Old Iron Lady," he added, patting the railings of the tower.

Then he turned to her and now the smile faded from his face.

"Rebecca, I've been thinking," he began, making her furrow her brows. She didn't know where this was going and wasn't sure if she even wanted to.

"About what?" she asked.

"We are here, in Paris, in one of the world's most iconic buildings, surrounded by a breathtaking view," he continued, and Rebecca started getting nervous. If he proposes, I'll fucking jump out of the tower, she thought to herself. Things were going on well between them, but they were still pretty far from that step. Her fingers clenched around the railings, waiting for him to finish. "So, it's time to take our first picture together," he said.

"A picture?" She asked, feeling relieved that it was just a false alarm. "Sure, why not?"

Then leaning her forehead against his temple, she smiled into Matthijs' camera.

*

When Coach Beard stepped to him, Ted Lasso was sitting on a bench (a different one), idly staring at the view, but not really paying attention to it.

"Hey, coach" Beard said.

"Hey, coach," Ted said, and looking up he saw his right hand man with two pints of beer in his hands.

"Thank you," the moustached man said, taking one of the plastic glasses from his friend.

Coach Beard then sat down next to him and they clinked their glasses.

"Henry?" He asked.

Ted nodded his head.

"I recorded a video for him, but it's still not the same," he said. "Still not a big fan of time zone changes. I'm Anti-Time-Zone."

"I'm sure he'll like it," Beard said. "They certainly do," he added, looking at the members of the team having the time of their lives.

"Just give me a moment and I'll be as jolly as a cinnamon roll. Or a croissant," Ted said, taking a sip of his drink. "We're in Paris, after all."

*

"I can't believe you kissed Roy."

"I can't believe you thought the Dutchman would propose."

Rebecca Welton and Keeley Jones were sitting in the tower's bar, drinking champagne and admiring the view.

"We still have a lot to talk through," the publicist said. "But right now we just enjoy Paris."

"Good idea," Rebecca said. "I have to re-learn that, too," she admitted. "Rupert made me forget how amazing this city is."

"Fucking prick."

"Let's not talk about him," the club owner suggested. "I won't let him ruin our night."

"Let's drink to that," Keeley raised her glass. "To successfully invading France," Rebecca said, throwing a glance outside where a small group of Richmond footballers were fooling around and taking pictures.

Keeley laughed at the toast proposal and she happily clinked her glass with the other woman.

"To invading France," she repeated and took a sip of her glass.

Her gaze shifted to the rest of the team outside the bar where Jamie was trying to talk Roy into a selfie. Rebecca looked out as well, and she felt that something was missing.

"I'll be back in a minute," she said, getting up from her chair.

*

Ted Lasso was standing by the railings with Coach Beard, Trent Crimm and Matthijs, now in a more cheerful mood when Rebecca walked to him.

"Ted," she began, making all four men turn to her.

"Hi, Boss, what's neuf?" Ted greeted her.

"Gather the team together, please," she told him.

"Are we gonna take a group picture?" the mustached coach wondered.

"We can, but first I have a surprise for them."

About five minutes later, the entire A.F.C. Richmond was standing in the bar, everyone holding a glass of champagne. Rebecca raised her glass to propose a toast, but the footballers hadn't noticed it yet, so Roy had to silence them with a yell that even made the two waiters chatting in the corner go quiet.

"The floor is yours, Boss," Ted said.

"I propose a toast to Richmond, to Paris and to the new memories we'll make here," Rebecca said, looking around the footballers, coaches and the additional staff.

"To Richmond," Higgins repeated.

"To Richmond!" Echoed the whole team, all raising their glasses.

African Rugs and Carpets - A Celebration of Traditional Prints and Artistry

African rugs and carpets are a vibrant and culturally rich addition to the world of textile art. These pieces are not merely floor coverings; they are a testament to the diverse, rich histories and traditions that vary from one African region to another. From the intricate Berber rugs of North Africa to the colorful Kente cloth designs of West Africa, each African rug and carpet tells a story, embodying the aesthetic sensibilities and traditional techniques passed down through generations.

The Origins of African Textile Art

The tradition of textile making in Africa dates back thousands of years. Archaeological finds in Egypt, for example, have uncovered fragments of linen textiles from as far back as 5000 BC. Over the centuries, each region developed its distinct textile practices influenced by local customs, social structures, and available materials.

In North Africa, the Berber populations of Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia are renowned for their hand-woven carpets. These are typically made from the wool of local sheep and are distinguished by their geometric patterns, which carry different meanings and symbolize events or aspects of daily life.

Sub-Saharan Africa, with its diverse cultures and histories, showcases a variety of weaving techniques. For instance, the Kente cloth of Ghana is known for its bright colors and intricate patterns. Originally made from silk, the modern Kente cloth is often made from cotton, making it more accessible to the general populace while retaining its cultural significance as a symbol of African identity and pride.

Techniques and Materials

The techniques used in creating African rugs and carpets are as varied as the patterns themselves. Most traditional African textiles are produced using hand-weaving techniques. Among these, the most common are weaving on narrow looms, where strips of fabric are produced and then sewn together. This strip weaving is prevalent in West Africa, especially in the production of Kente cloth.

Materials vary widely depending on local availability and the specific traditions of each community. Wool is prevalent in North Africa, particularly in Morocco, where the high Atlas mountains provide ample sheep for sourcing high-quality wool. In West Africa, cotton is commonly used, reflecting the region's history as a major cotton producer. Some groups also use natural dyes derived from local plants and minerals to color their textiles, adding a layer of natural beauty and regional variation.

Symbolism and Cultural Significance

The patterns and designs seen in African textiles are deeply symbolic. In many cultures, certain patterns or colors are used exclusively in specific contexts, such as royal ceremonies or weddings. For instance, in some cultures, the color indigo is associated with wealth and serenity and is often used in garments and rugs intended for influential figures.

In Moroccan Berber rugs, each pattern or symbol woven into the carpet is a bearer of a particular meaning. Common symbols include diamonds, which represent femininity and fertility; zigzag patterns, which symbolize water; and crosses, which represent the human connection to the universe.

Contemporary Relevance and Challenges

Today, African rugs and carpets continue to be highly sought after globally, not only for their beauty but also for their cultural significance. They are prominently featured in home decor magazines, online platforms, and in the showrooms of high-end interior designers. Moreover, they serve as a source of income for many communities, preserving traditional skills and promoting economic sustainability.

However, the rise in demand has also led to challenges. The commercialization of these traditional crafts risks diluting their cultural significance. Furthermore, as cheaper, machine-made alternatives flood the market, artisans who rely on traditional methods face significant economic pressures.

Preserving Tradition and Embracing Innovation

Efforts are being made to preserve the traditional methods of rug and carpet making. Organizations and cooperatives work within communities to ensure that these skills are passed down through generations. Additionally, some are finding innovative ways to adapt traditional patterns and techniques into products that appeal to modern consumers, thus opening up new markets while retaining cultural integrity.

Conclusion

African rugs and carpets are much more than decorative items. They are a link to the past, carrying the stories and skills of countless generations. As these beautiful textiles adorn homes around the world, they serve as a reminder of the rich cultural tapestry that is Africa. Preserving this heritage is crucial, not only for the sake of tradition but also as a testament to the continent's rich contributions to global culture and art.

Preserving the Structural Integrity of Your Home with Damp Proofing and Basement Waterproofing in Kent

In a region like Kent, where weather conditions can often fluctuate, dampness can become a recurrent issue in residential and commercial properties. This problem, if left unchecked, can significantly undermine the structural integrity of a building, leading to costly repairs down the line. Thankfully, state-of-the-art damp proofing and basement waterproofing services in Kent are available to tackle these issues head-on, ensuring the safety, value, and comfort of your property. Damp proofing Kent is a critical investment for any homeowner. Essentially, damp proofing acts as a long-term solution to prevent moisture from penetrating the walls of a building. This process safeguards the structure from any potential water damage, ensuring a safe and healthy living environment. Moreover, damp proofing can also enhance the energy efficiency of your home, reducing heating bills in the colder months. Kent boasts a myriad of experienced professionals in this sector who utilise advanced techniques and materials to deliver quality damp proofing services. These include applying damp-proof course (DPC) and damp-proof membrane (DPM), which are designed to form a robust barrier against moisture. The selection of the appropriate method generally depends on the building's age, construction type, and the severity of the damp problem. Opting for professional damp proofing can mitigate the risks associated with structural damage, timber decay, and mould growth, which can pose serious health risks if not treated effectively. Similarly, basement waterproofing Kent is another crucial service that homeowners should not overlook. A basement, being the lowest part of a building and often partially or entirely below ground level, is prone to water ingress due to its proximity to the water table. By investing in quality basement waterproofing, homeowners can protect their property from possible water-related issues such as flooding, dampness, and the growth of harmful moulds. Basement waterproofing typically involves a series of procedures, such as sealing cracks in the walls and floors, installing drains, and applying waterproofing materials. It's worth noting that basement waterproofing should always be conducted by qualified professionals, as the process can be complex and requires specific skills and tools to ensure a successful outcome. Additionally, depending on the extent of the water problem and the basement's design, different waterproofing methods might be required, including interior, exterior, and integral waterproofing. In conclusion, both damp proofing and basement waterproofing are not only essential for maintaining the physical structure of your property in Kent but also contribute to a healthier and more comfortable living environment. By hiring trusted professionals to conduct these services, you are making a wise investment in the longevity and value of your home. Indeed, you must do your due diligence when selecting a service provider. Look for those with a solid reputation, vast experience, and a client-oriented approach, ensuring that the damp proofing or basement waterproofing job is executed effectively and efficiently. Remember, the goal is to keep your home safe, dry, and comfortable throughout the year, no matter the weather conditions. By securing high-quality damp proofing and basement waterproofing services in Kent, you can confidently safeguard your home and enjoy peace of mind for years to come.
