    The Yips is a series of one-shots where I write some hardcore yearning. No real endings, happy or otherwise. Untethered. Probably real sad. Sorry?

    Summary

    If Ted had let him answer, Trent would have told him that he loved a lot of things: his family, his friends, football and, yes, writing. But what Trent truly loved was the seeking before the writing. There was a path to the truth and that's what Trent walked, dogged and unafraid.

    Summary

    These are the facts of the situation:

    First, the stands at the Greyhounds’ training facility are particularly slippery after rain.

    Second, Trent is not as coordinated as he would like to believe.

    If he had known that Colin’s heroic rescue would result in this spiraling storm of whispers, Trent would have asked the universe to let him fall. Sure, it would have come with a loss of pride and respect, perhaps would have eradicated the last shreds of his dignity, maybe would have even resulted in a trip to the A&E if he hit his head, but –

    It has to be better than this.

    Trent wonders idly if he did hit his head and this is all a very bizarre dream.

    Or: AFC Richmond think that Colin and Trent are in a secret relationship and are trying very hard to be supportive. Colin and Trent just want to be free from this nightmare of miscommunication.

    (A story about the struggles of coming out even after the hard part's finished, Trent's deep-rooted insecurities, and Richmond’s misguided attempts at being allies)
