#malcolm reed

guyz I made Malcolm have a miserable awful day but now as a footballer! a first installment of the Ted Lasso AU me and @ihatesphygmomanometers have been brainstorming is here. details are below the cover art:

There is something worse out there than being sad. And that is being alone and being sad. * There are two things that Malcolm knows: 1. He cannot allow himself to let people down. 2. He inevitably will. His team, his sister, his girlfriend, his new American coaches, his parents. And a casual weekday evening is as good a moment as any for another shoe to drop.

Tuckerreed, emotional hurt/comfort, pre-slash - and there'll be some slash later in the series if I get around to writing it. Featuring Stuart Reed's awful parenting, Hoshi&Malcolm and Madeline&Malcolm.

I had fun watching it. I was taken by the stories and characters. Glad to have progressed in my Trekkie journey with it. I really liked it !

I also got a crush on Malcolm Reed (because of course I did...)

And somehow got emotionally attached to the cutie pie that is Trip Tucker.

BUT ! That last episode... Come on man ! It was horrible. Just BAD. Like really bad.

Alternate Universe: Everyone presents as either a dom/sub/switch/neutral.

Malcolm has been lying about his dynamic in order to join the Enterprise mission, until it all comes crashing down and the worst person possible finds him.

The armoury is an odd place for a distressed sub to come, but maybe it's one of Reed's team, maybe this place is safe for them, or they were looking for Reed. Either way, he approaches slowly, allowing his feet to make deliberate noise so the sub knows he's coming. 

"Hi," he says, voice pitched low and soothing. 

In response, he gets another, higher whimper. Still scared. 

Trying not to grimace, he drops into a crouch and squints at the shadows that hide the sub's face. "It's Major Hayes, alright? Can I come closer?"
