Bend It Like Beckham

I wanted to follow up that last post with an extensive and comprehensive Bend It Like Beckham mega-rec, but the archive and half the fics I have bookmarked are GONE! WTF internets?! why do you hate me? So if anyone has recs please let me know. I so need the jules/jess angstcuteness right now.

Steam Pressure by [livejournal.com profile] guede_mazaka, Jules/Jess, R. The POV gets a little confusing in this one thanks to the omniscient third, but it's still hot and angsty and...actually it's more Jules/Jules as she pines for Jess.

Two from [livejournal.com profile] kittenfic aka [livejournal.com profile] paranoidkitten:
Funny which is a quickie and definitely R.
and Love and Friendship, PG and so supersweet and lovely and captures all of that awkward terror of being the gay girl in the locker room.

Discontent, by [livejournal.com profile] minougemini, PG. More sugary sweetness that will make you smile.

And please, pretty please, let me know if you have more Bend It fic 'cause I'm so missing my old links. *sigh*


eta [livejournal.com profile] anenko has come to the rescue with more great BiB slash (http://ireadthat.livejournal.com/tag/bend.it.like.beckham and http://del.icio.us/anenko/bilb) including some that I'd loved and lost. And, more importantly (as [livejournal.com profile] ireadthat pointed out in comments) several from Jess' uber-complicated POV. thank you!!!! and keep it coming :)

Mudfootball by [livejournal.com profile] thenewhope is great.

This was the most confusing post, ever, because all I could think about was the damn awesome Missy/Jess thing, which I read because you recced it! I am stuck in a loop.
