Author's note: As you may know, I know nothing about American football. debraelq does. So she helped me out by not only being an awesome beta again, but also (once again) writing the football related stuff, because trust me, you don’t want to read mine. (To give you an indication of my ignorance: I had Super Bowl on a Saturday originally – for those of you who are non-US like myself, it’s called Super Bowl Sunday for reasons you know?) Only 3 chapters left (maybe 4 if I ramble). Plus an epilogue.

Author’s note: Please read the warning. Also, an almost picture of Dave’s tattoo is on my tumblr account, and also on my LJ account. Sorry again for it being late (working on three things at once doesn’t work too well for me). Happy holidays for whatever you are celebrating in your part of the world.

Disclaimer: I do not, never have done, and never will, own Glee, Fox or any of the affiliated actors etc. (More’s the pity).
