Marie Henry, the rising star from Ligue 1's Monaco and daughter of Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, is about to make history. The eighteen-year-old is set to become the first woman in Paris Saint-Germain, the men's professional team. This bold move follows FIFA's recent criticism for failing to introduce mixed-gender teams. The youngster is boldly stepping into uncharted territory, serving as a test model for what could be a transformative era in professional football.

According to sources at Sky in France, a mutual agreement has been reached between both clubs regarding the acquisition of the striker. Reports indicate that the player is currently undergoing medical examinations this afternoon and upon successful completion, the teenager is poised to transition from Monaco to PSG in a transfer deal valued at €56 million.

Bug's Halloween

Leah Williamson x Child!Reader

Summary: The tenth of my Halloween-centric fics

"Sorry, Bug," Leah says, switching off her phone," But Bear's having an early night. She's already asleep."

You pout as you stand on the stairs. "But you said Bear could come with!"

"I know, Bug," Leah says, tying the laces of your boots," But you know Bear can't help it when she falls asleep."

"Auntie Keira said they have to go to doctor's soon."

"That's right, to look at Bear's sleep. So we have to make adjustments sometimes. I know you wanted to go trick or treating with Bear but Auntie Lucy is keeping Bear in tonight. She doesn't have the energy to go out so it's just going to be us."

"But it's Halloween! I dressed up just for her!"

Leah breaths out some soft laughter. "I thought you dressed up for Mummy."

"Her too."

You're wearing your special Nobbs Arsenal shirt and shorts today. You'd known you wanted to dress as a footballer for Halloween for ages and ages, you just didn't know which one.

Your first thought was Thierry Henry but Leah's old Henry shirt from when she was little didn't fit you properly so you couldn't wear it. Your next thought was Sarina but you couldn't find an outfit for when she was a player.

That's when Leah reminded you that your old Nobbs kit still fit you and you decided to go out as Mummy instead.

You were meant to be going out with Bear. Last year, Bear and her mummies dressed as the three bears from Goldilocks and you're pretty sure Bear was going to remain baby bear for this year too but now she's sleeping and you know better than to wake Bear when she's sleeping.

You're sad that she can't come with but that means you can work doubly hard to get enough sweeties for the both of you.

"You ready?" Leah asks and you nod, jumping down the last two steps.

"Ready!"

"Right, up against the wall please. I want to send a picture to Mummy."

You pose for a few pictures before you grab your ghost bucket and nearly bolt down the street.

Leah grabs your hand first though, keeping you close to her side before you can get too far away.

"Let's go!" You whine when Leah starts walking slowly.

"We've got plenty of time, Bug. We can take it slow."

You huff but stop pulling, letting Leah dictate the pace and which houses to go to.

"Remember," She says, straightening out your jersey and handing you your bucket," Smile. Nice and big. They'll think you're cute."

"But I am cute. Mummy calls me cute all the time."

Leah laughs, giving you a little push. "Go on."

The couple at the door coo and fawn over you as you give them your biggest and best smile.

"Can I take one for my friend? She's sick and couldn't come out today."

"Oh, you go right ahead, sweetheart."

You frown at that. "I'm not sweetheart. I'm Bug."

The couple coo again as you take Bear's share and you run back to Leah to show her your haul.

"You can't keep telling people Bear is sick," She says as you both walk to the next house.

"But she is," You say," Auntie Lucy and Auntie Keira are taking her to the doctor's. You don't go to the doctor's if you're not stick. Mummy had to take me when I had my sore throat. I was sick then."

"Doctors do more than just sick people," Leah complains," They look after hurt people and-"

"Bear's hurt?! Like when she fell and hurt her arm?!"

"Bear's not hurt," Leah says," But sleeping as much as her is worrying for Keira and Lucy. They just want to make sure that there's nothing in Bear's body that isn't working properly. That's why they're taking her to the doctor."

You guess that kind of makes sense.

Doctor trips are kind of scary in a weird way. Not a Halloween-scary way but just in a generic scary way. Like the scary kind of feeling you got when you saw Leah tear her ACL.

You imagine a trip to the doctor will be doubly scary for Bear so you make sure to take a bigger handful of sweets for her at every house.

"When can we see Bear next?" You ask as Leah unlocks the door," Because I've got sweeties for her. I want her to have them before her doctor's meeting. Sweeties always makes things better."

Leah smiles softly at you, hand running over your head as you look up at her.

"You're a good friend, Bug. I'm sure Bear would love some sweets before her appointment."

You nod. "Good because I collected a lot for her."

"Alright, Bug," Leah says," That's enough excitement for tonight. Let's get you ready for bed."

"And Halloween movies in your bed? Mum, you promised."

Leah sighs. "Fine, yes, but then you have to promise to go to sleep. We've got a busy day tomorrow."

You grin. "Promise!"

Episode 307 - Interview with HeyJulien, Football RPF and Carraville writer

🎧 Episode available on any podcast app, Spotify, or stream here!

Like a bicycle kick goal at minute 95, Sara finally completes editing on a much overdue interview with fellow Carraville author @heyyjulien ! 

Sara and Julien talk about the world of football RPF (as in soccer, for all you Yankees); specifically the delightfully odd-couple rivals-to-lovers ship of English football pundits Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher. Other talking points scattered across the pitch include: football as war, derby days and football rivalry; the joys of local non-league football, the Bundesliga and fußballkultur; to switch POV, or not to switch POV; the annoying beauty of David Beckham; and of course, we discuss the tragically under-utilized in fic friendship of Paul Scholes and Gary Neville (or, Scholesy as the Kermit to Gary Neville’s Miss Piggy). 

Join us, if you like!

Correction - at 03:27:40 we incorrectly refer to our wonderful fellow Carraville author as ‘player1604’-- their handle is @player1064, which is a reference to Gary Neville’s England legacy number. Gary was the 1,064th player to play for England’s National Team. More notes, references, and time caps below the cut.

Saturday Snips! ✂️

Thanks to @thinlinez for the tag! Tagging some of my lovely mutuals to share something if you'd like, no pressure if you don't. ✌🏻 💖✍🏻 @alwaysxlarrie @justalarryblog @polaroidlouis @lululawrence @kingsofeverything @sadaveniren @jaerie @chloehl10 @londonfoginacup @taggiecb @haztobegood @cowboylarries @loubbies @absoloutenonsense @hellolovers13 @greeneyesfriedrice @dragmedown @greenfeelings

This is from my upcoming Fitness Instructor Harry fic, which I thought I started middle of last year... but came to find out it was 2021! Holy shit, do I need to get this thing finished!

Louis watches a drip of sweat travel down the back of Harry’s neck, falling hidden behind a butter yellow tank top between his shoulder blades, gathering somewhere amidst a damp patch in the middle. The need to be that single droplet of sweat, or the fabric that holds it, unnerves him, but Louis has never had such a strong desire for anything in all of his life. Since when does he have a sweat kink? Louis wonders to himself, horrified. Or a thing for muscled dudes? Well… maybe since he’s had that shirtless pic from Sports Illustrated of David Beckham and Thierry Henry plastered on his wall since primary school, he remembers. Sure, they might’ve been on the pitch, but you know it wasn’t his footie skills you were ogling in that photo, mate. Let’s be real. He argues with himself. But Harry isn’t some muscled dude, he’s just a beautiful human being. Anyone with two eyes in their head can see that. It doesn’t mean anything. So what if he notices how perfectly defined every single muscle in Harry's back is, even through his sweat-slicked tank top? It’s not his fault that it’s cut low enough on the sides to see everything. What, is he not supposed to look?

COMING SOON!

9, 24, 28 🤔

9. are you superstitious? do you have rituals you do before or during every match?

I don't have any "rituals" per se, but since I write fics and run an incorrect quotes blog, I try not to put anything there that might cause a jinx to certain players 😂😂

24. top 3 players of all time

Oooh this is difficult.

Lionel Messi, Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira. And no I'm definitely not biased 🤪🤪🤪

28. a player from your club that deserves more recognition

Benjamin White.

Why, you might ask??

Because he's been immense in our first four games, doing everything he can despite playing out of position, and we barely felt Tomi's absence!

And people should stop talking about his 50mil price tag when you have Maguire and Cucurella priced 80mil ffs

Thanks for asking! :)

football asks — ask away!

Hi, will you be making Thierry Henry fics anytime soon? I would love to request a fic of him with a fellow cohost reader on championship league today (it's on cbs and paramount plus). His relationship with Kate Abdo is sweet, but I would like to see something with him having a crush on reader and her being in Kate's host position. Micah and Jamie would know about his crush and she is oblivious.

“MOST IMPRESSIVE FOOTBALLER YOU HAVE EVER INTERVIEWED?” asked Jamie, tilting his head up at you from the cue card. You pouted your lips, eyes darting around in thought, humming to yourself with your mouth half agape. “Most impressive – impressive in what sense?” you looked back at him with a curious glint in your eye, smiling, Thierry and Micah watching you both with keen eyes.

“You tell me,” he tilted his head forward, giving you a coy smirk before the men broke out into laughter. You shook your head and looked down with a soft smile, softly chuckling as he placed the cue card down onto the table in front of him, leaning forward for your answer. You rolled your eyes. “The biggest name is probably Lionel Messi,” impressed ‘ooo’s reverberated around the room, Thierry looking between his cue card and the table with a chuffed expression, refusing eye contact. “Pele,” you continued, the yelling got louder and you murmured to yourself in thought, Micah now leaning back on his chair while listening to you in awe.

“Maradona,” the shouting got to its peak, Jamie and Micah now yelling in sync at your accolades while you laughed and stopped listing people. Micah lowered his cue card on one hand, raising the other as if in a half-shrugging motion. “Thierry Henry? Where does he come from in all of this?” Thierry shook his head in disbelief, smiling slightly, you did the same. “Thierry’s like a friend though, isn’t he?” 

Jamie and Micah chuckled childishly, Micah’s hand now on his shoulder, leaning into Jamie as he turned round with his cue card stuck between both hands protectively. “What sort of friend?” everyone laughed and Thierry covered his face with his cue card, facing the table once more with a toothy grin. “Chemistry’s a bit too much on that side of the room!” Micah pointed, jabbing a finger at the other side of the table where you and Thierry sat, then fixing his suit.

“And at the canteen at lunch time,” Jamie quipped, grinning slyly. You just scoffed, laughing it off while Thierry glanced between you and the other men, cue card flat on the table, laughing and shaking his head. “We’ll be back after the break,” you finally said, cutting the mischievous duo opposite you off completely, Micah calming himself down with a long-winded humming breath that made you want to start laughing to yourself again. You took a sip of the water in front of you, the cameras in front of your table now showing rolling clips of adverts instead of a reflection of yourself and the individuals next to you.

Micah leaned back into his chair, tilting his head around to Thierry behind Jamie’s back who coughed, clearing his throat, and observed him doing so. You flicked through your notes momentarily, glancing over at Jamie and then Thierry who was looking at you with a mixture of fascination, his eyes fixated on you and the bottle of water that had just come from your lips. You gave him a pensive look, eyes raised and rubbing your fingers around your lips. “Do I have something on my mouth?” you frowned at him, he simply shook his head and looked away, back down at his notes with a polite but curt smile. Out of the corner of your eye you could swear you saw Jamie peeking over at you both over his notes with a slight shimmer to his eyes.

The producers notion to you from behind the set, nudging you with their heads twisted in the direction of the main screen area, where you would likely be interviewing Fikoya Tomori for the post-match interview. You nodded, waved your arm over to everyone else, sat around the table and got to your places in front of the screen, you and Thierry on the left side, Micah and Jamie on the right side. The adverts would have ended anytime now, you were just waiting for the notice from the producers or even the cameraman to give you a quick thumbs up to know that you were on air.

The red light on the camera studio flicked on. “Welcome back to our London studio everybody!” the screen opposite to you also flicked on, the familiar face of Fikoya Tomori, the man you had been watching over the whole match, came on screen. If you were being brutally honest to yourself, and your colleagues at CBS, Jamie and Micah’s chronic mispronunciation – if not getting his whole name wrong entirely – of turning Fikoya’s name into Fikori Tomori, was a complete shambles, but it left you on the verge of tears trying to contain your laughter. Thierry, however, wasn’t so stubborn, chuckling next to you occasionally when the duo opposite to you bounced off of each other in shouting Fikoya’s name. 

You looked at him, grinning, puffing your cheeks out in an attempt to hold in an unprofessional amount of laughter; and you both looked at each other, tears brimming around your eyelids as you bit down on your lip. He held onto your shoulders, grinning at you and you almost lost complete control over your emotions, laughing silently – or an attempt to do so – with your mouth agape as you gripped onto his arms, trying not to fall over in laughter. You shook your head, laughing as you held onto his hands as you almost toppled forward, laughing at the other two and their misfortune. 

He leant in towards you, turning away from the distracted pair now behind him of Micah and Jamie chattering amongst themselves and to Fikoya. “This is the fifth time they’ve said his name wrong now,” he whispered into your ear, you grinned, looking down and waving your hand at him as if in mock surprise. It was the sixth or seventh time the pair did so when he decided to hold onto your arm with a large palm wrapped around your front, surprisingly warm for the temperature in the studio, and hid behind you, tilting his head down to avoid being spotted above your stature. The interview finally ended, as well as the show, with a few questions from yourself and Thierry however Micah and Jamie took most of the limelight for their obsessive wrong name calling which you refused to stop laughing at, and reminded them both at the end of the show, when the cameras cut and you were free to go home.

Your hand wrapped around his arm in gratitude, giving him a small peck on the cheek, it was the French way of saying goodbye, he had insisted. But that you shouldn’t do it to Jamie or Micah as they weren’t French, when you inquired as to why he didn’t do so to any other cast members – including the women – running CBS behind-the-scenes, he fell silent, and you took that as a good time to just smile and wave him off. It was around eight-fifteen at night, cold air nipping against your cheeks, cold against your touch as you had held your hands – which were previously stuffed in your thick coat pockets – against your cheeks in an attempt to warm them up. It was futile. Then you felt vibrating against your pocket, and when you looked down, pulling your phone out of it, realised it was Thierry. 

You held your phone against your ear, leaning your head towards it. “Hello? You okay?” you asked, it could have been an accidental call, his finger slipped or something. Silence. He murmured under his breath. “Can I come over?” you furrowed your brows. “Are you okay? What’s happened?” you interrogated, assuming the worst, you heard him chuckling through the phone. “Nothing, I’m fine, jus’ wanted to know if I can come and see you,” he chirped, you huffed in surprise, softly laughing. “I’m not even home yet, you’re fine to drive over there before me though.” 

“Really? Where are you?” you looked around momentarily, studying your surroundings. “Just a few streets away, I think.” You hummed in thought, until seconds after your response he spoke up again. “I’ll come and pick you up,” you scoffed. “You don’t need to, I can walk there in ten minutes.” He probably shook his head behind the phone, then realised you couldn’t see him do so. “No,” he sharply declared, you furrowed your brows, then he hung up. You frowned, murmuring profanities under your breath, not bothering to move any further as he would be here any minute. 

Yellow lighting illuminated the space above you, and you heard a car pull in towards you and park feet away from you, the light from it dying down as you eyed the driver. You just chuckled upon seeing his face, striding towards the front passenger door while your heels clicked underfoot on the pavement. He smiled at you when you sat down, fastening your seatbelt, hand fidgeting beside him when you clasped onto it with a comforting smile, then retracted it. He looked at your hand on top of his, then at you, eyes dipping down as if he was admiring your face; an endearing expression spread across his. Neither of you broke eye contact, and you suddenly became overwhelmed with an urge to lean in. That was inappropriate. That was your colleague. That was an ex-professional football player. Yet, despite it all, you did so. His eyes flickered between you and your lips, and repeated your actions; your hand falling over his again as he held onto the gear shift, your fingers laced into his as you pushed up against each other’s face.

A car behind you honked, jolting you both up in surprise, Thierry suddenly becoming aware of his surroundings as he changed the gear and started driving off towards your house, your hand now sat uselessly fidgeting with the other on your lap, the drive home in comfortable silence; however it only took a few minutes due to the lack of traffic so late at night. Once you reached your door you waved him off with a downturned smile, watching as his car disappeared down the road, internally screaming at yourself.

To say you weren’t nervous to return to the studio the next day was an understatement, what if he regretted it? What if he didn’t mean it? What if he was drunk? Were you taking advantage of him? Would things between you both be awkward now? You gulped it down and sat next to him on the studio table, cameras glinting, you still had a few minutes until the show started airing once more. Jamie and Micah had already been discussing football amongst themselves before you entered, but upon your entrance and the usual introductory formalities he looked over at Thierry.

“Thierry,” he exclaimed, getting his attention, tilting his head in an almost mocking manner. “What happened to you last night?” Thierry widened his eyes, looking down with his hands clasped together, Jamie interrupted before he had a chance to explain himself, or give any excuses. What did Micah know? Was this about last night with you? Something else? Your heart rate was soaring and you were just hoping no one else could hear the thumping of your heart racing in your ears. “Before you explain, you did come in with a big smile on your face,” Thierry looked around, glancing quickly at you out of the corner of his eye, just a glimpse, before smiling smugly. “I’m just a happy man, y’know.” Micah burst out in laughter, mouth wide open, half-shouting.

“Not anything to do with Amelie, no?” you facepalmed, then looked up to Jamie and Micah laughing whilst you fixed your hair with the tips of your nails, then looked over at Thierry, tongue-in-cheek. They knew your little secret, and who knows how long it would be until everyone did. “How did you know?” you narrowed your eyes at Micah, the corners of your lips slightly lifted. He waved his hand at you. “Come on, it was obvious.” You rolled your eyes. “Everyone in this studio knows Thierry’s in love with you.” Thierry flicked two fingers up at him, waving them about in his general direction while biting his cheek.
