    Summary

    Lang Qianqiu did not seal his teacher in a coffin, his rage was too great to merely seal away the source of his grief.

    In other words:

    Xie Lian needs a little help to put himself back together, in a very literal way. Hua Cheng would give anything to be able to.

    Summary

    “So,” Trent starts, keeping his voice mild and professional. “We have all, by now, seen the footage from the unfortunate run-in you had with your father, the night of the twenty-fifth of April in the car park at Coventry City FC’s pitch.”

    It would've been traumatic enough for Jamie's father to ruin Richmond's most recent victory in front of the whole team, but when the confrontation turns violent in front of a gaggle of reporters, the ensuing social media firestorm is even worse. Over the next two and a half weeks, Jamie will have to navigate the charges against his father, walk a gauntlet of publicity that he never asked for, and prepare to give the interview of a lifetime.

    Luckily, Richmond has always been there to catch him on the other side.

    Summary

    Jamie from not long after the semi-final at Wembley finds himself back in the body of his younger self.

    Now back in the early days of Ted Lasso's coaching days at AFC Richmond, Jamie is determined to be a better version of himself and not get sent back to Manchester.

    Except, making changes when no one believes him is hard.

    And now he doesn't have a therapist anymore even though he probably needs one now more than ever.

    And it's not like he can just block his dad out of nowhere, is it?
