These Fears They Fall Away by them0rgue (NC-17)

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS
Jason/Tim (mentions of Jason/Lyla and Tim/Tyra)

Why this must be read:

This fic will break your heart. It covers Jason and Tim's relationship in the summer leading up to the pilot episode, and it's a painfully realistic take on what a relationship between two closeted teenage football players in small-town Texas would really look like. Tim's characterization in particular is spot-on.



“Next year.”

“Yeah,” Jason sits up, eyes lit. “Just wait a little—I mean, we can figure something out. Just—I’m just asking for this season, Tim.” He sounds caught and Tim knows he’s thinking of his parents and Lyla and everyone he’s ever made a promise to because Jason’s not like Tim, he doesn’t just do things for himself. “After, we can, you know, run away or something.” And even though he laughs then, a half stutter slicing over the words, he believes it; he thinks he can have it all.
