2018 Prompt List
And now for the fun part!
Claims will stay open from March 12th to March 19th, 11:59pm PST (what time is that for me?). The minimum number of claims is 5 and the maximum number is 15.
As a reminder, you are claiming prompts you want to read, not prompts you want to write and not your own prompts. Once matching is complete, you will be assigned one of your own prompts you signed up with to write for someone who claimed it. In turn, you'll receive one of the prompts you claimed.
Remember, claims are not first come/first serve! So no need to worry if you can't submit your prompt claims right away. Once everyone has submitted their claims request, and everyone has a possible match, we'll begin hand-matching assignments. Each participant will fill one of their own prompts for their assigned recipient, as well as receive one of the prompts that they claimed as a gift. If no one requested one of your prompts, we'll ask you to submit a new set of prompts, and an additional claims period will open. But the prompt list is fantastic, fingers crossed that won't happen!
Like your sign-up, you will be able to edit your claims after you submit the form. Google will automatically email you a link to edit along with a summary of your claims.
And if you notice anything missing or wrong with your prompts, e.g. broken links, says you're offering art when you definitely offered a mix, missing players, etc. please let us know!
Prompt Claiming form is available here.

Prompt #19
Focus: Thomas Müller/Manuel Neuer
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: Thomas doesn't even meet half of the requirements when it comes to being a lighthouse keeper. He has no mysterious, tragic past to speak of, is usually not much of a loner and isn't all too fond of boats.
With no one but his dog Murmel to keep him company, he's quite close to dying of boredom – until one day, the morning after a big storm, he finds a naked man washed up on the shore. He calls himself Manuel, is otherworldly pretty and seems to be connected to the sea in a strange way. Despite Manuel claiming otherwise, Thomas has a growing suspicion that his new roommate/crush might be a merman.
Prompt #20
Focus: Thomas Müller/Manuel Neuer
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: Thomas works as a delivery boy for a flower shop. When his bike breaks down at the most inopportune of moments, his only chance is a nearby repair shop he finds on Google Maps. Luckily for him, the resident mechanic not only agrees to fix the bike until the evening (and lend him his own for the time being) but is also quite good looking and a lot more adorable than any man has a right to be.
What follows is an elaborate courtship ritual featuring a lot of flowers, mutual pining and way too much obliviousness.

Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: Mats certainly doesn't mean to pry, but when he accidentally catches sight of some suspicious texts on Thomas' phone (who claims to be single, still) he tries to find out who his best friend is secretly seeing – even if he might be in way over his head.
Featuring a gratuitous overuse of the meddling teammates trope, Thomats bromance, a lot of banter, and a very badly hidden secret relationship.

Prompt #23
Focus: Manuel Neuer/Sven Ulreich
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: They tell Manuel he’ll be a good as new if he agrees to the surgery. Manuel would much rather be like he used to be than entirely new - but if it removes the sharp pain in his foot, he’d agree to all the cogs and gears and metal that it takes. It's a World Cup year after all.
Optional details: No excuse, except goalkeepers. And injury recovery. And vague rivalry. And, most importantly: cyborgs.
Prompt #24
Focus: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang/Marco Reus
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: Minor League Baseball AU. Marco is a pitcher with a long history of injury and Auba is a stunningly fast outfielder without the greatest hitting. They’re in the top division of Minor League Baseball and feel so so close to hitting the big time. There’s some feelings and some angst involved.

Prompt #26
Focus: Darijo Srna/Niko Kovač
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: 20+ years of slow burn for Croatia's most iconic captains
Optional details: As the axis of his midfield, as his captain, as his coach, Darijo steadfastly believes in him. Niko appreciates it. He does. It's just— that sort of naked and whole-hearted loyalty can be difficult to look in the eye, and Darijo never lets him look away.

Prompt #27
Focus: Philipp Lahm and ensemble cast
Medium: Fanfiction

Prompt description: In which Manuel Neuer tries to figure out how to captain a national team and cause the least property damage in the process.
Optional details: In honour of the upcoming World Cup and featuring terrible advice from a) former captains; b) former non-captains who are totally not bitter about the whole thing, ahahahhh hah ha H where did you get that idea; and c) idiots who may or may not be interested in catching a date. Really may or may not. The original wip has a teeny tiny shippy flavour to it, but that might get nixed and the thing ends up being gen. Heavily inspired by, if not simply outright stolen from, this hilarious art by Ireny.
Prompt #30
Focus: Benedikt Höwedes/Mats Hummels
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: Mats is a ghost stuck in the house he died in; Benedikt is the real estate agent trying to sell said house. Needless to say, that goes about as well as to be expected, especially when Mats realizes he might want Benedikt to stick around for as long as possible.

ghost in the house: GET OUT. I WILL TAKE YOU-
real estate agent: chill, its me.
ghost: oh hey. have you sold it yet.
real estate agent: obviously NOT, idiot.
Prompt #31
Focus: Toni Kroos/Marc-André ter Stegen
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: It's not like Toni and Marc are friends. But no one else on the national team understands what the fuck goes on in Spain and the bullshit between Real Madrid and Barcelona. So they kind of end up together a lot. And maybe it turns out they kind of like each other.
Optional details: Look, the prompt description really should just be two potatoes fall in love (sort of) and idk where I'm going with this. I just love pairings that are league rivals but NT teammates and find them f a s c i n a t i n g. Are these not the faces of two dudes willing to annoy each other into something between friends/rivals with benefits??
Prompt #32
Focus: Bernd Leno/Marc-André ter Stegen
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: When his girlfriend breaks up with him, Bernd wallows in self-pity, wishing for a love that could last, for once. When he wakes the next morning with Marc-André ter Stegen of all people laying next to him, claiming to be his husband, Bernd realizes it's futile trying to explain that this is not exactly what he meant when he wished for 'the universe to finally hook me up with a keeper'
Or, Bernd gets transported to an alternate universe where he and Marc are married. He deals with it accordingly – mostly, by panicking (and wondering when the heck he developed a crush on his fellow blond goalkeeper)
Prompt #33

Medium: Fanfiction

Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: Nadiem says he doesn’t have a girlfriend because he puts football before everything. So far, so good. Thilo just isn’t sure where exactly he (and their hook-ups) feature in that story.
Optional details: Nadiem did say that in an interview, and when asked about it in a press conference, his coach Nagelsmann sort of stumbled, “If he doesn't find that distraction that good, with a [rather long pause] female person-- or, yeah, I think, female, as far as I know he's more interested in the female gender.”
Meanwhile Nadiem and Thilo are doing things: 1, 2, 3, 4
Prompt #35
Focus: Claudio Marchisio/Leonardo Bonucci
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: Being captains of a national team is never an easy job, even for two people that have known and loved and seen each other through good and bad and worse for the better part of a decade. It's significantly harder though when one person seems to think transferring clubs is a cardinal sin and refuses to stop being petty and passive aggressive on Instagram.
Optional details: There is absolutely so much baggage here I don't even know where to begin...
Hello, this is Claudio Marchisio, Il Principino, one club man (nope, that season loan to Empoli did NOT count, no goals scored makes it VOIDED), would die for Juventus, would probably marry and fuck Juventus if somehow possible.
This is his best friend and fellow part of the (former???) BBBCC, Leonardo Bonucci, who committed the worst most horrible sin known to mankind...transferring to a rival Serie A club, AC Milan, in July of 2017 because of....reasons?? It's unclear if even Leo knows why the fuck he did what he did.
Ever since he left, Claudio will not stop making Instagram and Twitter posts about how much he LOVES and ADORES Juventus and would NEVER EVER leave or wear another shirt, ESPECIALLY not another Serie A shirt. Here is where he literally said that in an interview!
Did you think I was joking about being a petty bitch on Instagram?
It's so incredibly catty and high school but umm, now that Gigi, Chiello, and Barza have retired, it's time for new captains to forge a new path for the Azzurri....maybe, HOPEFULLY, try not to kill each other in the process....
Especially since they used to be this, and this, and oh boy THIS
Prompt #36
Focus: Ciro Immobile/Andrea Belotti
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: After several unsuccessful spells in Italy and several more equally unsuccessful spells in Germany and Spain, Ciro comes home on loan to Torino. For the next six months, Andrea helps him rehabilitate.
Optional details: This narrative is so sooo ridiculously painful, let me tell you that right off the bat. Ciro was absolutely STELLAR at Pescara during the 2011-12 season when Juventus loaned him out to them to gain more experience. He probably had high hopes that they would want him back. Wouldn't that have been nice.......
So, he gets passed around from club to club, has a great spell at Torino during the 2013-14 season (22 goals in 33 matches)...and then gets sold to BVB where, to say that things don't go exactly as planned...would be an INCREDIBLE understatement. They eventually loan him to Sevilla, Sevilla buys him, barely uses him....and loans him to Torino, of all clubs! He's battered, heartbroken, and tired and right back at the club that he really genuinely thought would keep him.
And to make matters worse, he's with Azzurri up and coming golden boy Andrea Belotti! Who has never in his entire life been heaped with anything but praise and adoration. You honestly would be hard pressed to find anyone say anything bad about Belottino. His career has only gone up from his start in Serie B and eventual signing with Torino. Diametrically opposed boys!
Also! If the narrative is not enough, please consider the following!

http://capitano-ale.tumblr.com/post/151608489199/ciro-immobile-celebrates-his-winning-goal-against
(The absolute KICKER of this entire narrative is that Ciro has found his place and his home in Lazio, who is currently sitting 4th in Serie A, is still competing in the Europa League....while Andrea, current captain of Torino, is battling mid table mediocrity once again this season...)
Prompt #37
Focus: Lorenzo Insigne/Marco Verratti
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: Lorenzo and Marco have been dating for a few years, but have kept it secret from their national teammates by mutual agreement. But something goes wrong with the hotel booking, and two players will have to share a bed. How can the boys make sure they get the shared bed without giving everything away?
Optional details: Lorenzo and Marco played together at Pescara (Marco's hometown club) for one season; for purposes of this fic, they got together during that season.
Prompt #38
Focus: Federico Bernardeschi/Mattia De Sciglio, Gianluigi Buffon/Giorgio Chiellini, Claudio Marchisio
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: Juve's relatively bad season in Serie A is confusing everyone. Out of desperation, Gigi, Giorgio, and Claudio consult a psychic, who visits the stadium and informs them that an unhappy ghost now haunts the place and will only be appeased by more romance among the players. Matchmaking ensues.
Optional details: homophobia in football will be discussed
Prompt #39
Focus: Paulo Dybala/Andrea Barzagli
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: Established Relationship!AU. It's Andrea's birthday. Paulo makes him a cake. Andrea is happy. But maybe not all is as perfect as it seems.
Prompt #40
Focus: Claudio Marchisio/Leonardo Bonucci
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: Soulmate AU
Optional details: Claudio always jokes that Juventus is his only soulmate, and there's a certain amount of truth to it — but there's also Leo, and for all they try to make it work, the two don't coexist well.
OR: Probably not the happiest soulmate AU ever and mostly a lot of navel-gazing feelings about Juve, what it means to stay, what it means to leave.
Prompt #41
Focus: Gianluigi Buffon-centric ensemble
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: 2016-17 UCL final time loop
Optional details: Gigi stays next the door for a long while, eyes closed, trying to tamp down the adrenaline already rushing hot through his veins. Belief doesn't bow to the empirical evidence mounted against them. It doesn't live in the head or in the heart; it resides firmly in the soul, it can't be explained away.
He will always believe. He can't articulate why. He doesn't have to.
OR: Fix-it fic for Cardiff, where it Just Keeps Happening until Juve finally get it right.
Prompt #42
Focus: Gianluigi Buffon/Paulo Dybala
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: Dead Like Me AU
Optional details: Popping souls and scoring goals aren't remotely the same, but it turns out Paulo's a prodigy at both.
OR: Paulo dies far from home and get suckered into the (after)life of Turin's premier grim reapers. In the same vein of the show itself, it's not overly morbid and dark, it's got a lot of humor and heart to it — but, y'know, death's still the central conceit.
Prompt #43
Focus: Sami Khedira/Mario Mandžukić
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: Mandzo and Sami find a home in Juventus and what they need in each other
Optional details: Football is a job, and Mario's never gone into it looking for a home. Still— there must be a sort of magic in the way the sun casts itself over Vinovo, the way the team comes together, the way they just keep winning. Juventus draws him in without him realizing it, but he's hyper-aware of Sami the whole time.
OR: La Vecchia Signora rehabilitation center for emotionally stunted strikers and outcast midfielders! How the leftovers of two rival teams figure shit out for themselves and somehow manage to fall together along the way.

Prompt #48
Focus: Sergio Agüero-centric
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: Magical Realism AU in which names (or, in this case, Kun's last name) holds power.
Optional details: Agüero translates to "omen" in Spanish and is also used in the phrase "ave de mal agüero" which means "to be the bearer of bad news," but literally translates to "bird of ill omen." I started thinking about this as a slight wingfic, but who knows! Will feature an assortment of players both pre- and during Sergio's Manchester City playing days.
Prompt #49
Focus: Pep Guardiola
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: 5 moments where Pep Guardiola didn't cry and the 1 time he did.
Prompt #50
Focus: John Stones/Kyle Walker
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: Something soft and fluffy, maybe a slowburn sort of vibe.

Prompt description: Mendy won't stop teasing poor Bernardo... then Bernardo finally gets his revenge.
Optional details: 1

Optional details: Baby Scholesy tries to get over his asthma and into the side.

Prompt #55
Focus: Jamie Carragher/Gary Neville
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: WWI AU
Optional details: It's the Christmas Truce, and the King's Regiment (Liverpool) and Manchester Regiment have nothing to do.
Prompt #56
Focus: Jamie Carragher/Gary Neville
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: Ye Olde Classique Amnesia Fic in which James Carragher gets whacked on the head and forgets that he and Gary Neville don't actually, you know, hate each other anymore, and Gary realises he's not super into that.
Optional details: Probably just an excuse to emotionally whump Gary because THAT'S WHAT I LIKE. Expected one-sided angst, unresolved feelings being flung all over the place, and maybe, just maybe, some extremely minor personal growth. Whose personal growth, you ask? MAYBE YOUR OWN, POTENTIAL RECIP.
Prompt #57
Focus: Jamie Carragher/Gary Neville
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: Carraville post- spain; aka mediocre dating experiences, Gary worrying, Carra being obscure, and lots of focus on emotional states after retirement. Kind of a slice of life fic, might be essentially plotless.
Prompt #58
Focus: Bayern Munich, Thomas Müller
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: Kahn was her paladin. Lahm is her viceroy. Müller--she isn't sure what Müller will be, yet. But she does know she'll enjoy finding out.

Focus: Zlatan Ibrahimovic/Maxwell
Medium: Fanmix
Prompt description: Maxwell is Zlatan's imaginary friend come to life, so following him from team to team through the years is just in his nature.
Prompt #60
Focus: Julian Draxler/Kevin Trapp
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: A major scandal hits Paris Saint-Germain, and the club is banished to Ligue 2 as punishment. Julian goes back to Germany within days, not even saying goodbye to Kevin, who stays at PSG to help them back to Ligue 1 while lamenting that he never told Julian the depths of his feelings. What happens when they meet at international break, when injuries have placed more pressure than usual on both of them?
Optional details: For purposes of this fic, Kevin is the number 1 goalkeeper at PSG, as opposed to real life this season where he's the cup goalkeeper and not much else.
Prompt #61
Focus: Zlatan Ibrahimovic/Marco Verratti
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: Zlatan went to PSG for the same exact reason he went to Juventus, Inter, Barcelona, and Milan and left because none of them ever gave him incentive enough to stay. PSG came the closest though.
Optional details: First of all, each of their announcements that they were joining PSG were made within 24 hours of each other which, if you believe in grand divine signs, here's a bright green neon flashing one.
Second, they spent 4 years playing together (could've been more but! Zlatan's gonna do what Zlatan does best!).
Third, Marco cried when he left PSG for Manchester United. Here's a quote from an ESPN article about it:
"Verratti had tears in his eyes as Ibrahimovic spoke and the Italian international said it was tough to watch his friend say goodbye.
"I'm not someone who cries easily," Verratti told French TV show Telefoot.
"I did everything not to... But I could see from his face that he was sad too.
"After everything that we did together, it was difficult.""
Marco is 1000% lying, he cries a lot, but props to him for keeping up that bad boy attitude because the plethora of yellow cards you've acquired is clearly not enough.
Fourth, did I mention that they would both fight the sun and the moon and all the stars if possible? They are both so...SO incredibly feisty and fighty and deserve each other so well.
Here's some pictures of them holding up one of the dozen trophies they won while at PSG and making WAY too many heart eyes at each other (I'm not even kidding, they literally won 12 whole trophies together that....is alotta celebrating. wink. wonk.)
Here's also...whatever this is
DID I MENTION THE LITERAL ONE (1) FOOT / 30 CENTIMETER HEIGHT DIFFERENCE AND THE FACT THAT MARCO LOVES TO CLIMB ZLATAN LIKE A TREE ON THE REGULAR??
Unrelated but related, here is an incredibly cursed image with proof that Zlatan can actually, in fact, be incredibly soft and I will attempt to prove that in 5k or less or your pizza (fic) is free
Prompt #62
Focus: Robert Lewandowski/Wojciech Szczesny/Anna Lewandowska
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: If your friends are sort of terrible people, it helps when they're all really, really, ridiculously good-looking. Wojciech is feeling down for handwavey reasons and Robert and Anna know just how to cheer him up.
Optional details: Sexual shenanigans. Jokes about healthy living. Wojciech is a terrible influence and wee bit of a wreck and I just really want Lewy and Anna to take care of him i y k w i m. Woj sandwich! THIS WILL BE SMUT WITH BAD JOKES THROWN ON TOP. Please request responsibly.

Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: It takes Leo leaving Turin for the two of them to come together
Optional details: No one expects Leo to show up in Turin again — and if they do, they definitely don't expect him to be at Gallo's door.

Prompt #19
Focus: Thomas Müller/Manuel Neuer
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: Thomas doesn't even meet half of the requirements when it comes to being a lighthouse keeper. He has no mysterious, tragic past to speak of, is usually not much of a loner and isn't all too fond of boats.
With no one but his dog Murmel to keep him company, he's quite close to dying of boredom – until one day, the morning after a big storm, he finds a naked man washed up on the shore. He calls himself Manuel, is otherworldly pretty and seems to be connected to the sea in a strange way. Despite Manuel claiming otherwise, Thomas has a growing suspicion that his new roommate/crush might be a merman.
Prompt #20
Focus: Thomas Müller/Manuel Neuer
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: Thomas works as a delivery boy for a flower shop. When his bike breaks down at the most inopportune of moments, his only chance is a nearby repair shop he finds on Google Maps. Luckily for him, the resident mechanic not only agrees to fix the bike until the evening (and lend him his own for the time being) but is also quite good looking and a lot more adorable than any man has a right to be.
What follows is an elaborate courtship ritual featuring a lot of flowers, mutual pining and way too much obliviousness.

Optional details: Snowed-in trope! With zombies. And smut.
Prompt #23
Focus: Manuel Neuer/Sven Ulreich
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: They tell Manuel he’ll be a good as new if he agrees to the surgery. Manuel would much rather be like he used to be than entirely new - but if it removes the sharp pain in his foot, he’d agree to all the cogs and gears and metal that it takes. It's a World Cup year after all.
Optional details: No excuse, except goalkeepers. And injury recovery. And vague rivalry. And, most importantly: cyborgs.

Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: 20+ years of slow burn for Croatia's most iconic captains
Optional details: As the axis of his midfield, as his captain, as his coach, Darijo steadfastly believes in him. Niko appreciates it. He does. It's just— that sort of naked and whole-hearted loyalty can be difficult to look in the eye, and Darijo never lets him look away.

Prompt #30
Focus: Benedikt Höwedes/Mats Hummels
Medium: Fanfiction

Focus: Toni Kroos/Marc-André ter Stegen
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: It's not like Toni and Marc are friends. But no one else on the national team understands what the fuck goes on in Spain and the bullshit between Real Madrid and Barcelona. So they kind of end up together a lot. And maybe it turns out they kind of like each other.
Optional details: Look, the prompt description really should just be two potatoes fall in love (sort of) and idk where I'm going with this. I just love pairings that are league rivals but NT teammates and find them f a s c i n a t i n g. Are these not the faces of two dudes willing to annoy each other into something between friends/rivals with benefits??
Prompt #32
Focus: Bernd Leno/Marc-André ter Stegen
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: When his girlfriend breaks up with him, Bernd wallows in self-pity, wishing for a love that could last, for once. When he wakes the next morning with Marc-André ter Stegen of all people laying next to him, claiming to be his husband, Bernd realizes it's futile trying to explain that this is not exactly what he meant when he wished for 'the universe to finally hook me up with a keeper'
Or, Bernd gets transported to an alternate universe where he and Marc are married. He deals with it accordingly – mostly, by panicking (and wondering when the heck he developed a crush on his fellow blond goalkeeper)

Prompt description: Nadiem says he doesn’t have a girlfriend because he puts football before everything. So far, so good. Thilo just isn’t sure where exactly he (and their hook-ups) feature in that story.
Optional details: Nadiem did say that in an interview, and when asked about it in a press conference, his coach Nagelsmann sort of stumbled, “If he doesn't find that distraction that good, with a [rather long pause] female person-- or, yeah, I think, female, as far as I know he's more interested in the female gender.”
Meanwhile Nadiem and Thilo are doing things: 1, 2, 3, 4
Italy NT
(back to top)Prompt #35
Focus: Claudio Marchisio/Leonardo Bonucci
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: Being captains of a national team is never an easy job, even for two people that have known and loved and seen each other through good and bad and worse for the better part of a decade. It's significantly harder though when one person seems to think transferring clubs is a cardinal sin and refuses to stop being petty and passive aggressive on Instagram.
Optional details: There is absolutely so much baggage here I don't even know where to begin...
Hello, this is Claudio Marchisio, Il Principino, one club man (nope, that season loan to Empoli did NOT count, no goals scored makes it VOIDED), would die for Juventus, would probably marry and fuck Juventus if somehow possible.
This is his best friend and fellow part of the (former???) BBBCC, Leonardo Bonucci, who committed the worst most horrible sin known to mankind...transferring to a rival Serie A club, AC Milan, in July of 2017 because of....reasons?? It's unclear if even Leo knows why the fuck he did what he did.
Ever since he left, Claudio will not stop making Instagram and Twitter posts about how much he LOVES and ADORES Juventus and would NEVER EVER leave or wear another shirt, ESPECIALLY not another Serie A shirt. Here is where he literally said that in an interview!
Did you think I was joking about being a petty bitch on Instagram?
It's so incredibly catty and high school but umm, now that Gigi, Chiello, and Barza have retired, it's time for new captains to forge a new path for the Azzurri....maybe, HOPEFULLY, try not to kill each other in the process....
Especially since they used to be this, and this, and oh boy THIS
Prompt #36
Focus: Ciro Immobile/Andrea Belotti
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: After several unsuccessful spells in Italy and several more equally unsuccessful spells in Germany and Spain, Ciro comes home on loan to Torino. For the next six months, Andrea helps him rehabilitate.
Optional details: This narrative is so sooo ridiculously painful, let me tell you that right off the bat. Ciro was absolutely STELLAR at Pescara during the 2011-12 season when Juventus loaned him out to them to gain more experience. He probably had high hopes that they would want him back. Wouldn't that have been nice.......
So, he gets passed around from club to club, has a great spell at Torino during the 2013-14 season (22 goals in 33 matches)...and then gets sold to BVB where, to say that things don't go exactly as planned...would be an INCREDIBLE understatement. They eventually loan him to Sevilla, Sevilla buys him, barely uses him....and loans him to Torino, of all clubs! He's battered, heartbroken, and tired and right back at the club that he really genuinely thought would keep him.
And to make matters worse, he's with Azzurri up and coming golden boy Andrea Belotti! Who has never in his entire life been heaped with anything but praise and adoration. You honestly would be hard pressed to find anyone say anything bad about Belottino. His career has only gone up from his start in Serie B and eventual signing with Torino. Diametrically opposed boys!
Also! If the narrative is not enough, please consider the following!

http://capitano-ale.tumblr.com/post/151608489199/ciro-immobile-celebrates-his-winning-goal-against
(The absolute KICKER of this entire narrative is that Ciro has found his place and his home in Lazio, who is currently sitting 4th in Serie A, is still competing in the Europa League....while Andrea, current captain of Torino, is battling mid table mediocrity once again this season...)
Prompt #37

Prompt #41
Focus: Gianluigi Buffon-centric ensemble
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: 2016-17 UCL final time loop
Optional details: Gigi stays next the door for a long while, eyes closed, trying to tamp down the adrenaline already rushing hot through his veins.

He will always believe. He can't articulate why. He doesn't have to.
OR: Fix-it fic for Cardiff, where it Just Keeps Happening until Juve finally get it right.
Prompt #42

Optional details: Popping souls and scoring goals aren't remotely the same, but it turns out Paulo's a prodigy at both.
OR: Paulo dies far from home and get suckered into the (after)life of Turin's premier grim reapers. In the same vein of the show itself, it's not overly morbid and dark, it's got a lot of humor and heart to it — but, y'know, death's still the central conceit.
Prompt #43
Focus: Sami Khedira/Mario Mandžukić
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: Mandzo and Sami find a home in Juventus and what they need in each other
Optional details: Football is a job, and Mario's never gone into it looking for a home. Still— there must be a sort of magic in the way the sun casts itself over Vinovo, the way the team comes together, the way they just keep winning. Juventus draws him in without him realizing it, but he's hyper-aware of Sami the whole time.
OR: La Vecchia Signora rehabilitation center for emotionally stunted strikers and outcast midfielders! How the leftovers of two rival teams figure shit out for themselves and somehow manage to fall together along the way.

Optional details: Probably just an excuse to emotionally whump Gary because THAT'S WHAT I LIKE. Expected one-sided angst, unresolved feelings being flung all over the place, and maybe, just maybe, some extremely minor personal growth. Whose personal growth, you ask? MAYBE YOUR OWN, POTENTIAL RECIP.

Julian goes back to Germany within days, not even saying goodbye to Kevin, who stays at PSG to help them back to Ligue 1 while lamenting that he never told Julian the depths of his feelings.

Optional details: For purposes of this fic, Kevin is the number 1 goalkeeper at PSG, as opposed to real life this season where he's the cup goalkeeper and not much else.
Prompt #61
Focus: Zlatan Ibrahimovic/Marco Verratti
Medium: Fanfiction
Prompt description: Zlatan went to PSG for the same exact reason he went to Juventus, Inter, Barcelona, and Milan and left because none of them ever gave him incentive enough to stay. PSG came the closest though.
Optional details: First of all, each of their announcements that they were joining PSG were made within 24 hours of each other which, if you believe in grand divine signs, here's a bright green neon flashing one.
Second, they spent 4 years playing together (could've been more but! Zlatan's gonna do what Zlatan does best!).
Third, Marco cried when he left PSG for Manchester United. Here's a quote from an ESPN article about it:
"Verratti had tears in his eyes as Ibrahimovic spoke and the Italian international said it was tough to watch his friend say goodbye.
"I'm not someone who cries easily," Verratti told French TV show Telefoot.
"I did everything not to... But I could see from his face that he was sad too.
"After everything that we did together, it was difficult.""
Marco is 1000% lying, he cries a lot, but props to him for keeping up that bad boy attitude because the plethora of yellow cards you've acquired is clearly not enough.
Fourth, did I mention that they would both fight the sun and the moon and all the stars if possible? They are both so...SO incredibly feisty and fighty and deserve each other so well.
Here's some pictures of them holding up one of the dozen trophies they won while at PSG and making WAY too many heart eyes at each other (I'm not even kidding, they literally won 12 whole trophies together that....is alotta celebrating. wink. wonk.)
Here's also...whatever this is
DID I MENTION THE LITERAL ONE (1) FOOT / 30 CENTIMETER HEIGHT DIFFERENCE AND THE FACT THAT MARCO LOVES TO CLIMB ZLATAN LIKE A TREE ON THE REGULAR??
Unrelated but related, here is an incredibly cursed image with proof that Zlatan can actually, in fact, be incredibly soft and I will attempt to prove that in 5k or less or your pizza (fic) is free

It's— easy, and that's not something Leo's had in a long while.
