prompt: friend

(hope ur day gets better!!)

ava is standing by the window in her room, bathed in gold light.

you remember the first time you saw her, walking happily to the bar she worked at, holding hands with someone you didn’t know at the time, serious and exacting and trying not to smile as ava spun around a lamp post in the sun. ava was bright, so bright, hard for you to even look at; you might not glow like you did before, but there’s still divinium in your chest, and your heart had sped up.

she turns when you walk in, her face falling when she sees it’s you; she collects herself quickly. she’s still so young, and so are you, maybe, but she looks older than she did in switzerland. tired, and scared, and busy holding the world up on her shoulders.

‘hey,’ she says, clearing her throat when her voice shakes.

‘hey.’

she sighs, stares out the window again.

‘ready?’ 

she laughs humorlessly. ‘of course not.’

it’s been your fate, your whole life, to die like this, you think; it hasn’t been hers. the thin shirt under her armor has been mended with precise stitches: there are measures of love you don’t understand. 

‘can we — just for a few minutes, can we just pretend?’

you let out a breath, try to ease the buzz in your chest. ‘so, how’s work going?’

she sniffles. ‘enza continues to annoy me, but hans said i’ve perfected an old fashioned, so that’s cool.’ 

‘that is cool.’

‘where are you and your mom going to go for christmas this year, do you think?’

you stare at the ceiling for a moment before you answer; your chest has ached your entire life, for one reason or another: ‘france, maybe. la plagne, her favorite.’

‘ah, la pagne, totally, for sure.’

it makes you laugh, just for an instant; it’s probably worth a lifetime. ‘to tell you the truth, she’s more interested in après-ski than skiing itself.’

‘sounds like my kinda girl.’

‘speaking of your girl —’ you go out on a limb; if there is joy, even in longing, even in the ache, even in a different life than this, she deserves to have it — ‘any good dates planned with beatrice soon?’

ava swallows but then smiles, wipes a few tears from her cheeks. ‘there’s a small music festival next week, in bern. i thought we might make a day of it, stay the night, maybe. i think bea would like the rosengarten.’

‘beautiful views, i’ve heard.’

‘yeah,’ she says. ‘really beautiful.’

it’s quiet, and the light from the sunset starts to fade, leaving an aching bruise blue in its place. ‘i’m sorry, ava.’

she shakes her head. ‘no,’ she says. ‘just — thank you.’

‘in another life.’

'yeah.’ she leans into your side, warm, and lets you hug her. ‘in the next.’

Savoie Olympique 1992 por Jean-Marc Frybourg Por Flickr: During the 1992 Olympic Games in Albertville, Savoie, France (in the French Alps), many additional passenger trains were organized for the event. Here is one of them. It is a Satolas – Savoie Olympique shuttle. It served the Lyon Satolas “Saint Exupéry” airport - Albertville - Bourg-Saint-Maurice line. The picture was shot in Landry, on the Altbervtille to Bourg-Saint-Maurice line, also called the Tarentaise line. Tarentaise is the name of the upper Isère River valley. Landry is the last station before the end of the line. The usual itinerary starts from Lyon however for the Olympic Games, the additional shuttles started from the airport. These shuttles were push-pull trains. The locomotive is one of the ubiquitous French “BB Jacquemin”. This one, the BB-25240, belongs to the dual voltage 25200 class subseries. The village in the background is Bellentre, which belongs to The La Plagne Tarentaise town community, a major ski resort. It sits right above the “Nationale 90” highway, a road often blocked by traffic jams on winter vacation weekends, as this is the main itinerary to the many ski resorts in the area.

Olympique Lyonnais Le Progrès Article (August 21, 2023)

Blah blah standard disclaimers apply; @OL Comms pls be a pal and toss me some cash for Starbucks and/or a glass of wine; y'all know the speech by now.

Translating this mainly because I don't want to hear any fake whining / conspiracy theories about what the stacked returns mean.

Olympique Lyonnais Féminin: managing the international players' frustration

The return of the 13 international players, none of whom brought back a medal from the World Cup in Australia, will last through September 4. With a schedule focused on athletics and the mental objective to quickly switch to the high as ever expectations of the club.

Last May 24, the international players who took part in the Media Day organized by Lyon all had the hope that at least one of them would come back with a medal to Lyon. The last hope ended with the third place playoff where Ellie Carpenter, playing for Australia, was beaten by Sweden.

The Lyon international players went through different emotions. There was disenchantment for Vanessa Gilles and Sara Dabritz, who were knocked out in the group stage with Canada and Germany. There was enormous disappointment for Lindsey Horan, who was knocked out to everyone's surprise in the Round of 16 with the United States. And frustration for the French and Dutch players, who lost by a very fine margin in the quarterfinals.

Bompastor: "They're still feeling disillusioned"

Sonia Bompastor has had discussions with all of the players and confirms that the majority of them are in the process of "digesting what happened ... mentally, there's a lot of disappointment from each of them, as a whole because they didn't achieve the objectives they wanted, and individually to different degrees depending on their performance. For us, the focus will be on getting them back as soon as possible and switching their mindset to the fact there is a long club season ahead waiting for them. They are still in a period of disappointment and frustration, but they are competitors and I have no doubt on their ability to compartmentalize because the club's ambitions are as high as ever."

The returns are stacked depending on the dates of elimination from the World Cup. Haitian player Melchie Dumornay, eager to "discover her new club and teammates" was the first one to return last week, a little earlier than others. This Monday, it was Vanessa Gilles and Sara Dabritz' turn to integrate the group who will be at La Plagne [mountain resort] until Wednesday. "They will have different training sessions, but it's good that they are there in terms of [group] cohesion," Sonia Bompastor explained.

Damaris Egurrola, Daniëlle Van de Donk, Lindsey Horan, and Ada Hegerberg will follow, and the six French international players (Wendie Renard, Amel Majri, Vicki Becho, Eugenie Le Sommer, Kadidiatou Diani and Selma Bacha) will follow on August 28. Ellie Carpenter will be the last to return on September 4. "The context is a bit particular because we have to continue working with those who reported back on July 17 and reintegrate in an optimal fashion those who are returning with a schedule adapted to each individual."

Lyon will play their next preseason game next Saturday in Lyon against Ajax, with a very young group [lovely...], and will grow in strength leading up to the first big clashes: the Trophee des Championnes, which they have won the first two editions, on September 10 at Troyes against Paris Saint-Germain, and then the first day of the league on September 15 against Le Havre.
