Summary
You just gotta keep doing it, okay, just keep doing it over and over, do it thousands of times, 'cause you'll get that muscle memory. Just y'know, just forget about the guys, the big guys charging at you, and the fans, the chaos, just like, zone in, inside yourself and forget it all, let it all, the chaos, just let it go. Just let it go, you know?

Notes
utterly fantastic: simultaneously vast & sweeping & intensely claustrophobic; the sway back & forth bet. inertia & momentum, home & Lyla, feel perfect & heartbreaking & intense. Oh, Tim Riggins. And god, the writing: fantastic.
Maybe it was just that afternoon itself, the long drive he took east out of Dillon after escaping from the babysitting duty Mindy was always trying to foist on him, heading nowhere in particular, & out the window to either side, the long flat forever of cows & fields & Texas Texas Texas, far as the eye could see. Used to be the sight of it made him smile, made him feel like he was home, laughing in his truck with Street in the passenger seat holding Lyla balanced on his lap, all three of them waving at the police as they passed 'cause nobody gave the Dillon panthers' star quarterback & starting fullback trouble in this town. Thought, Texas forever, to himself, then had to pull the car over for a minute & get out, kick at the dirt & breathe, breathe, breathe. -

Notes
seriously, drop what you are doing and read this fic right now. the craft, the stylistic assurance, the voice, the subversions, the dedication to progressive reworkings of classic narratives make this one of, if not the, best yuletide fics i've ever read.
