This is so late...
I'm struggling through the same thing, I feel like anything I write I've already read either in my own story, or - even worse - in someone else's, and I cannot tell you the amount of paragraphs I've deleted in the last few days alone because of that fear of plagiarism and repetition. I do miss my John and Soph together, so I'll keep trying and see where it goes. I still have her birthday on BF, and 2 matches, and a 3rd coming up on LF, so perhaps footie will keep me going (not Germany, obviously, because that was rubbish today).
Have you ever tried writing exercises? Or these little prompts you can find everywhere? Those might help unclog your writing pores and get you going again. I hope and wish it for you, I don't want to see you frustrated by something you so obviously enjoy.
Aw, love. I adored the last chapter. It's such a nice insight into their dynamic away from all the drama, away from Gigi, too. It might not add anything substantial in your eyes, perhaps, but it's so amazing to see them grow alongside each other, and support the other any way they can (well, and sneakily go for a shag or two). I, for one, do not believe it'll be any kind of repetition, because you're that good a writer, but please, do take all the time you need and want, or, perhaps, like @lou_claire91 suggested, write something else.
I've backed myself into a corner because I wanted to include the World Cup, but it in the grand scheme of the plot, it doesn't add anything, so it feels so meh to write, even though I was excited about writing it. It all just feels like we've read it all before. Hopefully it will all come together nicely
I'm sorry you are struggling too; I think you are definitely in holiday mode, and you don't need writing as the escape from real life it usually is.
I'm going to miss the match on Friday
You gave yourself a lot of work with the Christmas ones. I have done exactly the same as you and started something new. I now have three Aimee ones shots that are at various stages.
I'm sure you are right and one day everything will just click but I would love to be able to sit in front of my laptop and have words just come instead of literally forcing myself to write towards a target.
It is 2018 WC John (maybe my favourite), he was a baby, but he had grown so much in the 2 years he had been at City and it is so nice to see.

How you can write and keep up with multiple stories is a mystery to me, you are so amazing at it, too. I'm in awe. I hope you can find your writing mojo, too, and keep gracing us with all those brilliant and sometimes smutty pieces you write so well.
and happy honarary Thanksgiving 
we love everything you write too so you can’t go wrong whatever words do come out.
. Pls ignore my filthy bed as the dog has made a mess off his mucky belly wish I knew that before I sat down .. love a fresh bed but can’t be arsed to change it.
