100 days of enemy recs: postscriptum/Snowflake #10

The next Snowflake I need to catch up on is to rec something. So have some catch-up with two new enemyship fandoms I discovered


Johnny/The Devil

The song The Devil Went Down To Georgia is a perennial yuletide fandom. I went through and read a bunch of them this month. (January is a good month for deals with the devil.) Here's my favorite.




Ted Lasso

I don't know what Ted Lasso canon is doing that the top two 'ships are two middle-aged single fathers with fundamentally oppositional jobs; and the story of a man subbing for his ex-girlfriend and her new man, who he though hated him; but I hope it continues.

(Honestly I just don't know Ted Lasso canon. I this week learned, after reading over a third of the fic with him, that Trent Crimm is not in fact canonically gay? Next I'll find out that the "Ted Lasso Canonically Has A Huge Dick" tag is a lie.)

So, um, on the subject of enemyships, uh, how deeply have you investigated Cobra Kai?

Very little! I am aware that it exists and I think it is part of a large martial arts media universe of which I know almost nothing? (Possibly connected to the Karate Kid movie? Is that the one where they catch flies with chopsticks? The only martial arts movie I ever remember watching was Shaolin Soccer.)

And I think there is an interesting enemyship between the main mentor(?) guy and a guy from a different school? But I haven't seen anything that either lured me into trying a fic despite knowing nothing, or gave me enough footing in the universe to try it anyway!

It is my solemn duty as someone who watched Ted Lasso to inform you that that one's true.

Is it a presumptively accurate statement from a character who would know, or is it just common knowledge as part of his press background, or is it primarily based on visual evidence? I am worryingly curious as to how this was established!

The woman he has a one night stand with in s1 shows up again in s2 and makes a joke about the size of his dick being very large, with hand gestures.

I have no idea why it's in the show, but it's a little jarring to me considering Jason Sudeikis is a producer and writer on the show. So it was like "okay who in the writer's room decided this joke was going to make it into the final script and who wrote it in the first place".
