World Cup: feelings and fic edition

[meiface]

The World Cup rekindled my identity issues (as always) and need for football RPF. A lot of old LJ stuff is locked or deleted now, so I went hunting on AO3. Here are a few recs!

I was just saying to another friend that I still read all kinds of fanfiction. It gives me a mental break from real life and keeps me on an even keel, happy and sane, lol.
I don't think I was thinking of football fanfic... lol but why not. I will go read these in a few days.

(Identity issues require breathing slow and long ... remember breathe!)

It really is a nice mental break from real life! I go through periods of reading more and reading less, depending on how busy I am in real life, but yeah, always a nice thing to go back to. And sometimes makes for quick reads or breaks, especially since I'm terrible at watching shows (or things that aren't sports, apparently).

There used to be way more football sttuff back on LJ! Fandom shifts, though...

(haha thanks! Identity issues are a staple of any major international sporting event that raises questions of patriotism/nationality. Good times.)
