On Tap - Sept International Break

Even though it’s the first international break of the season and we just had a World Cup last December, Euro qualification is firmly underway. There’s also a semifinals and finals of the NWSL Challenge Cup and the regular season of the MLS mixed in. Hell, I’ve even thrown in some Brazilian games at the end of the window in case you want to broaden your horizons. Wednesday, September 6th7:00 PM…

Wilt led the then-brand new Chicago Fire to four Open Cup titles between 1998 and 2006. And he’ll now face off with that very club he helped birth in the tournament he loves best.

His new project, the all-amateur Chicago House AC, are making huge waves in the current edition of the Open Cup. They upset pro side Forward Madison of USL League One (another club Wilt helped bring into existence) to set a date with the Fire in the rarest of Windy City Derbies – one that spans all four tiers of American soccer.

The Chicago Fire (MLS) versus Chicago House AC (USASA/MWPL/Ill.) US Open Cup Third Round game is at 7 PM CT at SeatGeek Stadium in Bridgeview, Illinois. Get tickets from Ticketmaster.

And what a Nuccio DiNuzzo photo from the Chicago Tribune!

For All Mankind - 2x07 vs 4x04

For your WIP game: Love At The Drafting Table. I'm not really familiar with the source but I like the title and am curious about it!

Hello friend! Thanks for the ask <3 Sorry it took me so very long to reply. I wanted to get a little more written, it was mostly an idea.

So, a little background on For All Mankind, the show I've been obsessing over for the past few months: It's an alternate history of the space race in which the Soviet Union lands on the moon a month before Apollo 11 and the U.S. has to play catch up. And then while the U.S. is focused on beating them in the race to put a base on the moon, the Russians instead land a woman on the moon and the Americans are playing catch up yet again.

OK, so in this timeline, the Apollo-Soyuz mission takes place in 1983 instead of 1975. On the show, Margo Madison is the Director of JSC and she ends up working with the head of the Soyuz program, Sergei Orestovich Nikulov, to design the docking mechanism.

Love at the Drafting Table is an AU, and also the title of a Life magazine article that gets published in the story after the success of Apollo-Soyuz, a parallel to another in universe article published circa 1967 in Look magazine, "Love in the Air," about pilot Tracy Stevens and her husband astronaut Gordon Stevens. I switched to Life magazine because Look shut down in 1971 and also Life ran a full issue on the Apollo-Soyuz mission in 1975 so I wanted to parallel that.

The premise is that as a result of the televised handshake in space, the U.S. and the Soviet Union officially collaborate on more space missions after the peace treaty. And that Margo and Sergei, who grew very close working on this project together, become the faces of that collaboration on the ground, while Danielle and Stepan, the commanders of the Apollo and Soyuz capsules involved in the mission, are the faces in space. Aleida Rosales, Margo's protege who worked with them to refine the design, mentions to one of the journalists working on the Life feature that Margo and Sergei developed the initial design on their first date.

I'm still working out a lot of the details and planning, but I do have a little snippet I can share.

Aleida, Margo, and Sergei set to work drawing up new schematics incorporating the shock absorbing ring Aleida had suggested and refining the overall design. Despite Sergei’s facility with rendering, he encouraged Aleida to do the bulk of the work. He and Margo continued to make notes on their existing sketches, updating measurements and calculations for Aleida to work off of. Not fifteen minutes passed before they hit a snag and Margo craved a tootsie roll to chew over the problem with. She wrinkled her nose at the pencil eraser, knowing it wouldn’t cut it as a substitute. And then her stomach gave her away with a gurgle. Sergei had seemed so focused on his notes, but immediately looked up at her with that cheeky little half smile she was starting to recognize as the prelude to a wry joke or clever idea. A warmth bloomed low in her belly and she fiercely ignored it. “Did someone eat your porridge?” His blue eyes danced and Margo pressed her lips together to fight down the smile that pulled at the corners of her mouth. “You’re still drunk,” Margo muttered and lost the battle, her smile breaking free with the lingering vowels of her drawl. Aleida snorted but didn’t look up from her work.

Thanks again for the ask, and for your patience <3

Hey! Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed this love came back to me. I am generally a whore for aged up reconnection steddie stories, but this work has just pushed all the right buttons in all the worst and most beautiful ways. Absolutely devastating, will never get over it. This has immediately joined my personal masterlist of fave steddie fics (along with choose the rosegarden & my soul looks forward to loving you of course - both of which I've read to shreds over the last few months). Thank you so so much for writing and sharing your work!💫💜

hi omg! as someone who is also a whore for aged up future fics, my heart is freaking happy knowing that i pushed all the right buttons. 😌

its an honor to be included in your favorite steddie fics (not for the first time, but the third?! let me go cry.)

I hate when you breakup with someone and you also at the same time realize you have really crappy friends (Not my girl gemma or my guy logan) but like my city friends where I am now 1 who I’ve really enjoyed for a year and a half now, she has a bf and doesn’t hang with anyone else or message first ever. A second friend, whom wanted to “have a 3 way” with the guy I was seeing and myself refused to unfollow him on Instagram after we broke up. Which I thought was honestly fucked he deleted her and said he doesn’t find her attractive nor would ever cross that line. But even her we had plans for Halloween and she bailed for other friends…? Starting to realize my friendships here are very surface level.

Why can’t I get more Gemma’s and Logan’s and have them closer to me ❤️
