Title: Revolutions by lucdarling
Fandom: Bend it like Beckham
Character/Pairing: Jess Bhamra/Jules Paxton
Jules Paxton, Jess Bhamra
Word Count: 1133
Summary: for the prompt: Jules takes her L/B/T/Q status harder than Jess
Why I Rec This Fic: It´s a little bit heartbreaking, Jules conflict feels very real, but there is also love and support.

Jules calls her parents every other week, talks about the football team with her dad, the travelling schedule. Her mum always asks after Jess and the latest fashions; sometimes she asks about boys and Jules turns to her standard answer of there’s a boy in class I might fancy, always when Jess is out of the room or in the shower.

Title: You and I by sinuous_curve
Fandom: Bend it like Beckham
Character/Pairing: Jess Bhamra&Jules Paxton
Jules Paxton, Jess Bhamra
Word Count: 1144
Summary: “Come on, lets go play a bit of footie. I can’t stand telling one more American boy I play soccer and I’m tired of having them laugh at me when I say football. You’re the only one in a million miles who understands me. That hardly counts as stupid.”
Why I Rec This Fic: Carefree and sweet female friendship.

"Jess jogs after her for a few paces, then tosses the ball up and boots it as hard as she can, without any semblance of technique or finesse. It flies over Jules’ head and she whips around to watch it arc a good twenty feet past her. “Wanker,” she shouts affectionately, and takes off after."

Warning: Internalized Homophobia
Why I Rec This Fic: People finding queer community! (I love shipping fics but there is always room for more about this)

The halls of her dorm were mostly deserted, this late on a Monday night, but she caught sight of a sign for Spectrum pinned to the cork announcement board on the ground floor and caught herself smiling in response.
“You doing all right, Jess?” Jules called, when she walked into their room. “You were stuck in office hours for a while – have an exam coming up?”

Title: Skip to the Last Page by abcooper
Fandom: Bend it like Beckham
Character/Pairing: Tony/OMC, Jess Bhamra/Jules Paxton
Tony
Jess Bhamra, Jules Paxton
Word Count: 1816
Summary: "AU: Jess accepts Tony's marriage proposal in order to play soccer for Santa Clara. Good cooking, bad television, and a longstanding friendship may or may not act as adequate substitutes for sexual compatibility."
Warning: Dubious Consent, Racism, Sexism, Transphobia
Why I Rec This Fic: It´s the first (only) fic I found that focus on Tony and that alone is great, but there is also marriage of convenience (in the staying that way (not that I dont love people falling for eachother with this trope but this is something I love and don´t see as much of). The little home Jess, Jules and Tony built gave me feels.

As he left the field two hours later, he found the courage to catch up with Chris and exchange numbers. He was filled with a strange sort of confidence - this was a step toward shaping his adult life into something he could be happy living. The sense of contentment was only increased when he got home to find Jess and Jules collapsed on the couch. Jess was watching a WUSA game on the television, and Jules was lying with her head in Jess' lap, purportedly reading a textbook and getting distracted every time the fans roared.
It felt like it could be home.
