Football AU (Because Canon Sucks) by Essie Sloane


FOOTBALL AU is apart of the Because Canon Sucks combined universe. Rowan and Milo enter the world of sports romance with this take!


From the blurb:

The last thing Rowan Rangecroft expected two weeks before the start of the ALF season was to be traded to the Tucson Scorpions, but he knows the life of a professional football player comes with risks like this.

Tucson is an adjustment. He's gone from a playoff team to one that hasn't so much as sniffed the playoffs in five years. He's gone from a nice house to a cold, corporate condo. He's gone from having friends and family around the corner to being a stranger to everyone he meets. Everything is different in Tucson: the coaching style, the team culture, the expectations.

The biggest adjustment is runningback, Milo Tobitt. Milo is energetic, loud, and always moving. He also seems determined to make Rowan his new best friend, and Rowan can't escape him. They share a locker room. They live in the same condo building. Milo even offers to give him rides to and from the stadium. Rowan can't decide if he's annoying or friendly, but either way, his curiosity is piqued.

Rowan isn't sure he can survive Milo Tobitt and the Tucson Scorpions.

Football AU is a MM fanfiction style novel, based on the Canon short story written by AM Rose for the multi author series Because Canon Sucks. In Canon, Milo and Rowan miss out on their happy ever after, so this series strives to give them their happy ending in every other universe.


Molly Otto's review:

When a player is injured with the Scorpions during pre season, Rowan is not prepared for the trade and have his life flipped upside down. On his first day at the stadium he meets Milo who yeah doesn't give you a chance not to know him. Love how open and himself Milo is and how he slowly but surely breaks down Rowans walls. Such a fun story that keeps you entertained throughout and not want to put down until you finish.

As part of a fanfic series you really want to get to know the author of the story and so glad Essie has decided to go forward with this concept and make a Scorpions series! Loved seeing the author's world along with their story and you really want to see how their life is and really is their cooking on tier with Milo🤣
