Summary
Just as Roy was finally thinking of himself as someone capable of having a deep, meaningful friendship--with Jamie Tartt of all people--he had to mess it up by wanting more. He was going to have to worry there was something wrong with his definition of intimacy soon, if getting close to people always made him want to kiss them.

Summary
Bode clears his throat, barely audible, but it snaps Cal out of his concentrated peace. His eyes, startlingly green and something Bode will never get used to, pierce Bode clean like a knife. Bode has to scramble to throw up a shield to guise himself before he feels Cal’s quiet presence reach out for him.
It’s warm. Bode wants to instinctively reach back, return Cal’s gentle prodding with something real. For a dangerous, desperate moment, Bode sincerely considers coming clean right then and there. I work for the Empire. I want to leave. I want to join you. I don’t want to deceive you anymore.
“You have a scratch there,” Bode says instead. His voice is too quiet for his liking. “Should get it patched up.”
or
Bode struggles with his feelings for Cal. In the end, the betrayal doesn't happen.Bookmarked by metaphoracle

“You must not believe in soulmates then?”
Something complicated crosses Jamie's face and then he shakes his head slightly. “Nah I do. Got me words - see them right there.” He waves off to the side.

The yoga mums’ aww. “Did you know about that Roy?”
Fuck - the universe really is cruel. “I didn’t, but whoever it is deserves monetary compensation. It’d be like a service to England.”

Summary
Jamie is truly a fucking enigma. Last night he’d shown up to Roy’s looking like he just needed anyone to be there for him, with no explanation. Today he’s just acting like a fucking twat again, and he’s honestly confusing and messy and Roy doesn’t need it.
Jamie is a 23 year old twat, and Roy is way too fucking old for this.

Summary
"At 25, with two premier league wins and a strong appearance in the Champions League under his belt, Jamie had said he’d go out on a high note. He’d promised himself, back when 30 felt like a death sentence, that at 35 he’d retire in a blaze of glory, having crushed competitive football in every metric there is.
Then three weeks before his 35th birthday, that plan had been shot to hell when Roy Kent walked into the locker room."
Or, A Jamie on his way out of the Premier League can't get Roy, over a decade his junior, out of his head.

Summary
Natalie cracks open a bottle of sparkling Moscato with an audible pop! and remarks, “Just look at the muscles in those forearms. He could hold you up against a wall, no question.”
Roy, who has never once looked at Jamie Tartt’s arms with anything other than detached professionalism, and really only during the rare instances when he was on spotting duty at the weight bench, downs an entire glass of wine and resigns himself to what amounts to psychological torture every Wednesday evening for the foreseeable future.
Roy reluctantly watches the entire season of Lust Conquers All.
Despite that, he doesn't really figure out how to deal with Jamie Tartt until months later.

"I thought I could do good," Louis whispered, ashamed to the core of how completely futile it all sounded now. "I thought I could be good." Lestat's eyes blazed silver and gold in the candlelight, and Louis held them, wracked with such anguish that he felt he'd crumble if Lestat looked away now. "Haven't you ever wanted that, Lestat?"
1794. Pointe du Lac lies in ashes. Lestat, desperate to keep Louis with him at any cost, tries something he's never tried before: he talks.

Summary
‘That’s the thing,’ Roy says. ‘He’s better than he’s ever been, but he’s holding something back. He does everything I tell him to, but not anything more. I know I ask a lot, but he’s capable of being fucking brilliant. He can jog halfway through the night and cycle the rest and still look like he could do a commercial for those stupid fucking shoes they all wear, and at some point it’s not fucking up to me anymore, it has to be about him pushing his own fucking self. I don’t know how to fucking motivate him!’
For a second, Roy thinks Keeley’s going to point out that his swearing gets even worse when he’s upset about something, which he can’t fucking help and it doesn’t fucking matter anyway. Then …
‘Blowjobs,’ Keeley says, in a very business-like tone.

Summary
Jamie. The sight of the man caused a spasm in his chest, and if he wasn’t so tired, he would have left right then. Left the club house, left the club, left the country. Of course, he knew Jamie would be at the Open, and it was truly ridiculous to think that he would never see the darling of the PGA, but still he wasn’t prepared. It never occurred to him that Jamie might be there on Monday. He never cared too much for practice rounds.
