Summary
Before the two of them can slip away, Isaac claps Colin on the shoulder in a goodbye, then does the same to Michael. “It was great meeting you bruv. Colin should bring you around more often.”
“Even though I don’t know anything about football?”
“That can be fixed,” Isaac says easily. His arm is still on Michael’s, so instead of letting go, he drops his grip to hold Michael’s hand and digs a Sharpie out of his pocket. “Here’s my number, gimme a ring and I’ll explain the offside rule again. Can’t believe Colin hasn’t converted you already.”
[OR: When he is introduced to Michael during the team party at Ola’s, Isaac develops a crush on his best mate’s supposed wingman. Not that he’s aware of that.]

Summary
“You could end up in the hospital, or jail.” Isaac points out, setting the drinks he’d left for two seconds to get down in front of his teammates.
The lads give him confused looks. “Is it dangerous?” Dani asks. He looks very alarmed.
“Nah, I’ve done it a thousand times. Seen coppers with it done too. But that doesn’t mean anything I guess. Corruption and double standards and all.” Jamie says, running a hand through his hair.

Summary
They’ve wrestled over many things during the course of their friendship—remotes, the last biscuit, car keys when Colin was way too drunk to drive but refused to admit it—and Isaac has never once lost. The idea of Colin getting the phone back is laughable.
Then Isaac looks down at the screen and everything in him freezes.
He’d expected photos. He gets photos.
OR: Isaac McAdoo learns that his best mate is gay in the worst way possible. Then he wakes up and does it again. Over and over.

Summary
Michael is a man with a lot of secrets, who can't afford to draw the public's prying eyes. So dating a closeted football star whose recently promoted Premier League team causes waves wherever they go is not his brightest idea. But the heart wants what it wants, and Michael finds himself falling for Colin despite the risk. Complications abound as the two of them navigate a relationship that is both a secret and full of them, made that much trickier by Colin's captain and best mate, who Michael's thoughts return to often.
(No Leverage knowledge needed)

Colin catches Isaac up on the gossip from Wales.

Summary
Prompt 2. A no football AU where Jamie and Dani are teachers at a school and the kids they teach won't stop asking the pair if they Like like each other (they're basically bullied into dating by a bunch of 12 year olds)
The crowd of kids stare up at him, expecting an answer. “Of course I am not homophobic!”
A few accept this easily. But the older kids have a gleam in their eye, none more so than their current ringleader, twelve year old Nora Collins, who isn’t even a student here. But her mother is the school counselor and her godmother is the principal so she’d been put on the roster anyway.
“Then why are you saying they can’t get married?” Nora questions.

Summary
“You heard me.” Colin crosses his arms, head held high. “You might as well tell them the real reason you’re mad at me. Don’t dress is up as professional disappointment in my playing when you and I both know the real reason you’re acting this way. Just call me some names and move on Isaac. It’s 2022, for god’s sake.”
AU where the homophobic fan was kicked out early in the match, but things still come to a boil in the locker room during episode nine.
