Title: A History In Toasts
Author: clippage
Team of Choice: Manchester United
Prompt: Magic
Rating: PG
Summary: The boys sit down for a drink. People come, and go, and things change.
One year it’s a champagne toast, to being young, alive, and free. To playing for the best team in the world, conquering the leagues (“Three, you bastard. We won fucking three.”). To higher wages, faster cars.
Another, it’s red wine, Becks out on the dance floor, a toast to wives, new contracts, and a bright future.
Now, it’s three of them, a sixteen year old scotch (“Sixteen”, Paul says, “Like us.”), a prayer for warm muscles, a few more years on the pitch, and a chance for the new young squad to feel the magic they’ve felt.
