    Summary

    Bill Tartt is smaller in person than he’d looked in the picture, smaller than he is in Jamie’s memory. He’s skinny and old, like James, but the uncanny likeness between all three of them is there, even stiffened in death. The stubborn set of the jaws, the forceful cleft chins, the slope of the brows. Bill and James and Jamie all lying dead in a casket and all staring down at a corpse, a shifting, blurring Tartt shadow that pervades the atmosphere, choking everything in its wake.

    A funeral reunites Jamie with the Tartt side of the family. As memories resurface, Jamie is forced to reckon with his father’s legacy and its place in the family he’s created for himself.

    Summary

    There’s a moment where Zero’s lust-hazy brain processes that, and once it does he lapses helplessly into laughter. He cups Blue’s pointy, freckled little face between his hands, overcome once more by the inexplicable need to just hold — the urge to gather him in and cradle him close enough to his own body that nothing in the world could ever hurt him. It seems something right between a miracle and a catastrophe, having something in the galaxy that is this dear to him. It’s not the first time by far he’s had to contemplate the sheer enormity of the things he would do for Blue’s complete lack of an ass, but he’s never felt the sureness of it quite so pressingly.

    Blue and Zero over the years, through the night after the Gala and beyond.

    Summary

    “That’s the headline right there: ‘Emotionally Stunted Englishman Tries Therapy, The World Finally Knows Peace.’”

    Kent looks away and covers his mouth in an attempt to hide his grin. Jamie sits back satisfied, with only one last question. “What time should I come in tomorrow?”

    (Football journalist Jamie Tartt and football legend Roy Kent attempt to have one honest conversation.)

    Summary

    When Keeley breaks up with Roy after his spontaneous plans to whisk her away to Marbella for the summer, he makes the trip by himself, intent on forgetting about the break up as best he can through as much booze, tapas, and sunshine as one person can manage during one miserable summer. The last thing he expects is for his car to break down during a road trip up the Spanish coast, where he finds none other than Jamie fucking Tartt - who fell off the face of the Earth after his stint on Lust Conquers All - working in a seaside bar.

    Post-season 2 AU where, after getting kicked off of Lust Conquers All, Jamie decides not to return to England or football.
