⚔️ Task Force 141 - NFL AU 🏈

by me (sleepyconfusedpotato) and @alypink ! This AU will include some Original Characters made by us both!

---

New Hampshire 141s, a new rising american football team whose players dominantly came from the United Kingdom, is ready to face the NFL season!

As the previous Head Coach, Herschel von Shepherd got fired by the General Manager MacMillan, John Price (who has roots in rugby) got chosen by MacMillan to bring the team to victory. Let us see which players caught Coach Price's eyes!

John Price (HC)

John Price was born in Liverpool, England, but moved to America when he was still very young due to his father being deployed from the military to an American base. Although his father retired a couple of years later, they decided to stay in America. He grew up loving sports as a child but American football always piqued his interest more than any other sports. He played safety in middle and high school, but in his junior year, he had Meniscal tears that prevented him from ever playing again. John was heavily depressed after his injury, one day one of his close friends, Nikolai, who was also one of his fellow teammates on his high school team, told him to cheer him up to go watch the team play or to attend the training camps, John agreed and started assisting to the games and eventually started to think about becoming a head coach. He was recommended by his former high school head coach to take the job as a defensive coordinator for the New Hampshire Wildcats, a college football team. His performance and playbook were impressive, leading the Wildcats to reach a bowl and winning it twice. He proved to be fit and ready for a professional football team in the NFL and was hired as a defensive coordinator by the New Hampshire 141’s, by the HC at that time, Herschel von Shepherd. His first two seasons were disastrous as there was friction between the players and their head coach, most of the players disagreed with Shepherd's decisions and playmaking. To add to that, he seemed to never care about the player's input or needs. Although in those seasons they held a record of 4 wins and 12 losses, the General Manager of the team noticed his defense was the best in the league for both points and yards, and also noticed that a good portion of his defense players were selected on the all-pro team of those two seasons. After the owner and GM fired Shepherd as a Head Coach, John took his place.  In his first seasons with the 141s, he restructured the team and went to playoffs and one NFC championship. As he wanted to improve his team, he started attending college football games, he attended once a college game in which he met the offensive coordinator at the time, Aly, and after the game he met her to ask about some players he was interested in on her actual team, for QB and WR positions, they became acquaintance since that day and kept communication for some time, as she sent some prospects his way. She also requested his help every now and then, making him attend her games and inviting her over to watch the 141s too. After spending time together and sharing the same interests and love for football, they started to date but kept it low as two months later, John hired her as his new offensive coordinator.

#26 Kyle Garrick (WR)

the most responsible and reliable player of the team. Kyle’s dad was an ex-WR and a former head coach out of a college football team. His father is a very hardworking man and disciplines his son like a football player, and with that, comes a great expectation for Kyle since his high school years. Kyle is extremely reliable, responsible, and respected on and off the field. He is HC John Price's favorite due to his work ethic. Kyle believes in having discipline in everything he does to be one of the best. He keeps a picture of his girlfriend, Eleanor Graham (Ladybug) everywhere, especially in his locker room as he says she brings him good luck for catching the hail mary’s from Alex.  Kyle and Alex met in Baylor University, where they played together and won many games, including several bowl games. They became best friends in and out of the football field, supporting each other infinitely. “You've got friends nearby.” On Alex’s quote, “I can throw the ball like ‘fuck it, he’s over there somewhere’ and Kyle would magically appear and catch the ball. He’s always at the right place.”

One day during practice Alex was throwing the ball too far to the left, which headed straight towards her head. On instinct and in an attempt to catch the ball, Kyle collided with Eleanor, which bruised her arms. Instead of being upset like how Kyle would expect her to react, she laughed loudly at him, saying that she chose to sit there. She knew the hazard of studying near a football field. Even though Eleanor said she can take care of her bruises, Kyle insisted on nursing her. (Alex SMILED ear to ear). They both met from time to time. Every practice, Kyle always looks for Eleanor on the side of the field. Eleanor’s laid-back personality often bothers Kyle as she's a damn med school student, but through her, Kyle learns how to slow down and live in the moment. Love bloomed between them and they became a couple midway through freshman year. 

When Kyle was drafted to the NFL to be with Alex for New Hampshire 141s, Eleanor was there with him when he received the call from HC Price. Though Eleanor has to stay in Texas to continue her studies, Eleanor travels to New Hampshire often to visit Kyle.

#31 Alex Keller (QB)

Alex is the quarterback of the 141s, second draft pick and first QB of his university. He is very skilled and hard-working, he is in love with water girl Farah Karim and aspires to be like Tom Brady. He and Kyle Garrick (WR) met in their first year of freshman in University and they played since their first year as the duo of QB and WR (Burrow and Chase vibes) and were drafted together in the NFL draft by the same team. Young duo but very effective especially during the regular season. Alex Keller met Farah Karim in his rookie season during training camp in his first year and has been infatuated with her. Since then, he has tried to score ASAP or reach 4th down so he can sit on the bench and talk with her. Whenever he can, he visits and picks her up from University and helps her out whenever he can in anything she would need.

#70 Simon Riley (TE)

Simon Riley used to be a rugby player in England. He joined the rugby team during his college days and met Price as one of his coaches, who trained and guided him to become one of the most dominant flankers in college rugby. Unfortunately, though he’s always dependable whenever he’s on the field, Simon was often riddled with injuries. His quiet personality didn’t help his case either, bearing the pain in his left leg in silence, until one day, he tore his ACL during an important game which cost the team their winning chances. Simon rested for a whole year to heal his knee. Together with his familial struggle, he contemplated quitting being an athlete. That was until Coach Price offered him a fresh start in the USA. As a flanker is equivalent to the Tight End position in American football, Price told him that he would be perfect for the role. Simon was adamant at first as he was still injured and how he’d be able to completely heal from this devastating injury. But when he said that in America they could find him a good physiotherapist to help him heal his knee, he reluctantly accepted the offer.  Simon got into the draft and was a first-round pick due to how much of a good player he was in rugby. On his first day on the team, he met the other players who got drafted, but the most important and the most fateful meeting was when he got introduced to Charlotte Le Jardin (nickname Jade to simplify her last name), a physiotherapist that Laswell had promised help him to heal his ACL and help him regain his top form. It was a rough road, but with every step he took, Jade was there to help him.  Now, every injury he has he doesn’t stay on the sidelines but goes inside the tent or the stadium so he can be checked by her. Whenever Jade’s out watching the game, he scores more than usual or gets distracted. He often carries the team, especially during the conference championship games. 

#71 Johnny MacTavish (RB)

Johnny MacTavish was born and raised in Scotland. After high school, he was offered an academic and sports scholarship to a prominent university in the USA. He began his football career when he was a freshman at University as a very talented runner, which elevated him as the starter RB on his fifth game. In his senior year he was  awarded the Heisman Trophy winner at college, but due to a shoulder injury, he missed being the top pick at the draft. He was later selected by the New Hampshire 141s and got put in as a starter as soon as he got drafted. He has good chemistry with his team but gets injured by overdoing himself or trying to tackle defensive players on the other team. He is also constantly with Jade for treatment and often misses important playoff games. Johnny is a very talented running back and that is why HC Price can’t get rid of him no matter how he misses practices and meetings and how his personal life affects his performance on the field. He always tries to take his friend Simon Riley to social gatherings and social media, but he completely shuts him down every time. That's different on the field though, as whenever Johnny's going to play a run, Simon will always be there in front of him to push the tacklers away, making way for Johnny to score a first down or a touch down. They're an unstoppable duo together. Johnny is very popular among female fans, making his jersey the one with the most sales every year. His dating story is pretty large and his games are always attended by the women he dates (which constantly changes).

some memes I made 😭

Here's the Hereford 141S' Logo and jersey design! The logo is heavily inspired by the Task Force 141's logo, so it's pretty much just a sporty twist of the logo!

More characters underneath the cut!

#11 Alejandro Vargas (MLB) and #22 Rodolfo Parra (OLB)

(Drawing to be posted!)

Alejandro and Rudy both moved to El Paso, Texas when they started high school at the age of 14 years old. They were avid football (soccer) players during their time in Mexico, but when they started High School they began to play football. Both Alejandro and Rodolfo played as Linebackers, Ale being MLB and Rodolfo being OLB. They did amazing in High School then they both received a scholarship to attend the university in Dallas, Texas. Both of them were later selected to do the NFL Pathway program, for both of them. Being together since their childhood years, high school and university they were a packaged deal and were both selected on the same team, same position on the NFL draft.  Alejandro is especially hyped when playing against Philip Graves, QB of the Dallas Shadows. They have had beef with each other on and off the field since they played against each other for the first time. Ale’s average sack during a game against Dallas is approximately 5 per game, he sometimes is way too harsh while tackling making him get a couple of flags whenever he blitzes and sacks. He’s often scolded by his friend Rudy, but he does not care as long as he can sack Graves.

Kate Laswell (Defensive Coordinator)

(Drawing to be posted!)

was raised in Virginia, USA. Both her parents and brothers loved football and so did she. Since elementary, she watched and never missed a game during weekends, she always had a fascination for the Chicago Bears and their ‘85 team. Her father told her about how that defense, without an extraordinary QB or offense made them win the superbowl and also made them the best defense of all time. After witnessing that season and that Superbowl, she fell in love with how the defense scheme in football works. Unfortunately professional football for women wasn’t an option, so she studied a lot to become a defensive coordinator. She studied day and night, memorizing the plays, analyzing games and creating new playbooks since she was young. She struggled a lot to have an opportunity since it was a male-dominated team. One of her childhood friends made it to the roster to become a defensive coordinator for the Colorado Buffaloes College Football Team, he was a good coach but not “impressive”. She supported him by attending his games but couldn't help but try to talk to him whenever she thought he could do better, often interrupting his play callings during his games to make him change the play, and it always worked. She and his friend attended a College Bowl, and met John Price at that game, the three of them watched the game and she started to tell both of them what adjustment she would do for both teams, and that piqued John’s interests as she was awfully right, he was impressed by how well she read offense’s routes and how she was able to change from a 3-4 or 4-3 to a hybrid defense. He decided to give her a chance and hired her as his new defensive coordinator for the 141’s and established a very good partnership and friendship with her ever since.

Farah Karim (Intern Physical Therapy Student - Watergirl)

(Drawing to be posted!)

Farah Karim is a university medical student who got an internship in his junior year of college to be the water girl and help around the New Hampshire  141s team. She comes from an immigrant family and is the pride and joy of her parents. She struggled so much in her younger years to pursue an education and get into a good college in the USA, she managed to get a scholarship due to her great school performance and was given the chance to work with a professional football team. She met Alex Keller after his rookie season and developed a close friendship with them that later turned into a romantic interest. She is grateful for his help and also supports him during games. Her classmates usually bug her by asking Farah to let them meet Alex or to set them up with him, which she dislikes very much.

(OC) Alyssa Martinez (Offensive Coordinator)

Aly was born in Mexico and moved to the USA thanks to a scholarship she received when she graduated from High School and moved to Texas to attend college. As soon as she graduated from Texas A&M holding a Bachelor of Science in Sport Management, she started working as an offensive coordinator at a local highschool. She then escalated to being an offensive coordinator for the College she attended. Aly managed to take the team to a College Bowl where she met 141s Head Coach John Price and became acquaintances after that game, they kept communication after that game, as Aly asked for suggestions for her playbook and she helped Price on suggesting him prospects for the upcoming draft selection and also players on free agency.  She was later hired by Price as his offensive coordinator and they began to have a low key romantic  relationship. She specializes in West Coast offense, having her team play the Air Coryell scheme. She suggested Price to draft Alex Keller as he was the perfect pocket passer that would fit their offense perfectly. She’s an avid Tom Brady fan.

(OC) Charlotte Le Jardin (Physical Therapist)

Originally from England, Jade was adopted by an American couple and moved with them to the United States at an early age. Her parents, Eli and Gracie, worked at Bravo Stadium, home of the 141s, and Jade became a constant presence on the sidelines. As time went by, the Bravo Stadium became her home. Jade started helping around the sidelines bringing water, towels, medical kits, and even helping out in the blue tent, all the while completing her college in biological science and doctor of physical therapy (DPT), and of course, licensing in Physical Therapy. When she got her license, her experience was already on par with the other physiotherapists since she had been jumping from senior to seniors, learning and practicing all she could. Kate Laswell who has been seeing Jade there since she was a teenager, hired Jade as one of the many physiotherapists for 141s, and with that came a fateful challenge: a newcomer Tight End with a torn ACL from his rugby days, who’s trying to get back to his top form in order to play in the NFL.

The aftermath of Atomgrad

[gavramous]

farah gets the shakes sometimes. a thing from her childhood that's loyally followed her to now. her whole body will tremble, and if it's a bad enough episode, her teeth will also chatter.

and she hates it. it makes her feel so incredibly fragile, so intensely out of control. this thing that wracks her body when it's decided it's had enough, it's mortifying...

she's the commander of the ulf, there are so many people that depend on her. and there are some days where she dreads holding anything, for fear she'll break it.

she takes herself to hadir when she gets like this. he's the only one she trusts to see her in such a vulnerable state. she knows he won't judge her, won't loose faith in her or her abilities.

but then he betrays her, and she has no one to go to. she has no one to soothe her, to hold her shaking hands in theirs to lessen the trembles.

- - -

farah is surprised- elated, really, when she finds out that alex is alive. she missed him dearly. she had warmed up to him much faster than she ever thought she would, and she had mourned who they could have been had he not asked her to order him into that room.

but she doesn't need to mourn anymore. he's right back at her side.

he's at her side the day hadir dies. he stays with her when they get back at base. he walks with her to her room, follows her inside. he stays with her as her hands start to shake.

he kneels in front of her where she sits on the edge of her bed, and takes her hands gently in his, and holds tightly. he sweeps his thumbs back and forth across her knuckles. just like hadir used to...

and that makes farah finally break, she sobs, leans forward in pain, and rests her head on his shoulder.

she cries, and she trembles, and throughout it all, alex is with her. he holds her shaking hands in his steady ones, and tells her it'll be alright, tells her that he's here, he's got her.

“You always have a thing for knives, Alex?” Farah asks.

He shakes his head. “No,” he says. “Just yours.”

Alex sees Farah kill an Al-Qatala soldier with her knife and thinks he wouldn’t mind being on the other end of it.

Kinktober 2024 Day Nine

Honeymoon

Farah Karim/Alex Keller

The curtain in front of her was blowing back softly in the breeze from the open window behind it. Farah curled her hand around the thin material, pulling it aside around her face. She smiled when she felt the sun on her skin, squinting out into the day outside. In front of her stretched a row of fields, turned to bare earth, dotted with houses, before the ground turned into rocky desert. Beyond it, a mountain range rose up, jagged peaks poking against the blue sky, the face bathed in the morning sun.  It looked like the one she used to be able to see when she was a child, when she and Hadir ran out of their home to the fields to play.

It must still be early, she thought. Even as the world glowed in the sunlight, she couldn’t see any people outside taking it in.

“Hey.” Alex’s rough voice called her from behind. Farah turned, letting the curtain fall closed again as she saw him on the bed, curled up next to where her body had left the sheets wrinkled.

“Hey.” She went back to him, leaning into his touch as he reached up to brush her hair back from her face.

“Missed you.” He murmured.

“I was just over there.” Farah clutched his hand, bringing her other one up to grasp his forearm as she realised how warm he felt. Why had she even gotten out of bed?

“Still. Missed you.” Alex repeated, pulling their lips together in a kiss. “Dunno how I’ll cope when you go back to being commander Karim.”

“I’m always commander Karim.” Farah replied. “I have to be.”

“Sure… Just… maybe not for the next ten minutes?” Alex pulled her close, tilting her against his chest as he took her hand. “This says you have to try. At least a little.”

Farah laughed, looking down at her ring. She reached for Alex’s matching one, not even realising that she’d gone to sleep with it on. Maybe it was a sign – to wear it as much as she could, when she could, since she wouldn’t always be able to.

“I can try.” She whispered to him, locking her arms around his neck as he pulled her up into his lap, brushing aside the sheets that had covered him. “Be gentle with me?”

“I always am.” Alex replied, his fingers teasing her clit, nudging his thumb against her hole as he let her rest her head on his shoulder, happy to take care of all the work. She held him tight as he sat back and rolled his hips, slowly sending soft waves of pleasure through her body. She reached up and kissed him, running her hands through his hair, pushing it back into perfect place, pressing his moustache down under her thumbs as she kissed him again. Alex groaned when she nipped his bottom lip, locking his arms around Farah’s middle as he slowly dragged her up and down, making her empty and full, again and again. Farah pressed every inch of skin she could against his, mumbling something that she thought was I love you against his lips, until someone shook her shoulder.

“Commander?” Alex was knelt at her shoulder, his silhouette distinct enough for her to recognise him instantly, even in the dark. “Farah?”

“Alex.” She sat up, brushing his hand aside. “What is it?”

“You were mumbling in your sleep. Where you… dreaming again?”

“Maybe…” Farah shook her head, ridding herself of the already fading images of a remote countryside honeymoon. “What time is it?”

“Almost two.”

“Time for us to switch?”

“I’ll give you a minute to get up.” Alex nodded, leaving the room to go back to the ledge, as Farah stood up and crossed to the other pallet, gently shaking Ayah awake.

They dressed silently together in the dark, not daring to turn on a light for fear of giving themselves away, before exiting the room, relieving Alex and Seyda from their watch on the warehouse, down on the plain from over the ledge, lit up by the full moon.

“Anything?” Farah asked as Ayah took over the sniper position.

“All quiet.” Sayda said, and Alex confirmed.

“Good. Get some rest, both of you. We have a long day ahead of us.”

They nodded and traipsed inside to get their own rest. Farah took up her post, watching the surrounding area as Ayah watched the warehouse.

“Anything?” Ayah asked.

“No.” Farah looked around. “It all still looks abandoned. But, that’s no guarantee.”

“No.” Ayah agreed. “Don’t overexert yourself, Farah.”

“I won’t.” Farah took a seat, sighing softly as she settled in to wait.

She shook her head again. How loud had she been talking in her sleep, if it had prompted Alex to come and wake her?

Can’t have been too loud, as it hadn’t woken Ayah up. Maybe Alex had just been on his rounds, and coincidentally looked in on them as Farah happened to be dreaming about fucking him on their honeymoon.

She swallowed, tightening her grip on her gloves as she adjusted them, refusing to think about the implications of that image. She couldn’t think about it, wouldn’t.

Farah had come to the conclusion years ago that she was never going to be able to get married. After what she’d been through at the hands of Barkov, how her family and country had been taken from her, and her dedication to taking it back and rebuilding, marriage was a luxury she would never have time to enjoy. Maybe, in a different life, where none of that had happened, she would. If she’d somehow still met Alex, maybe she would have been able to have it then. Maybe, in that time, she would have the luxury of being able to think about him in that light, rather than in her being his commander, and he one of her most loyal soldiers.

Farah shook her head, taking hold of her rifle to cover a round of the building. It did no good to sit around and dwell on dreams. Life occurs in the land of the living, so that’s where she needed to be.

i am completely normal about them
