Summary
Bradley wakes up late on Tuesday morning. It's the third week of classes and he'd stayed up too late in the lounge with the other guys watching the game. His alarm should have gone off at 7:30, but he probably forgot to set it the night before. He wakes up to a pounding on his door at 8:50, and by 8:55 the world has changed.
Going to war. Uncle Wood says they're going to war and yeah, Bradley thinks to himself dumbly, that makes sense. But if the nation is going to war, his entire family is going with it.
-----
Or: Bradley hasn't spoken to his family in a year, when he stormed out and never looked back. Now, the World Trade Center is in flames and his family is being deployed. Returning home is never simple, but maybe it can start with a phone call.

Summary
"Are you going for the course?" Lovegood asked. "You have the NEWTs.”
“What course?” Draco said, then, “No, don’t be ridiculous,” when he realized she meant the notice pinned up on the board he’d been staring at: Applicants To The Introductory Mediwizard Course For The Coming Term Shall Present Themselves In The Chief Mediwizard’s Office By August 24th.
“Oh, I thought you might,” she said. “Well, goodbye.” And off she wandered again in her addled way.

Summary
Roy, in that soft little part of him that cares about his best fucking friend quite a lot, wants nothing more than to comfort him, tell him he'll be alright.
"Tartt," he snaps. It turns out comforting is a difficult note for Roy Kent to hit. "Stay the fuck awake if it fucking kills you. No fucking passing out on the pitch."
"M'not... not gonna...," Jamie slurs, his hand resting limply across his face now. He gags, like he's holding back an upsurge of vomit, then swallows thickly. "Just... fuckin' dizzy."

Summary
Jamie from not long after the semi-final at Wembley finds himself back in the body of his younger self.
Now back in the early days of Ted Lasso's coaching days at AFC Richmond, Jamie is determined to be a better version of himself and not get sent back to Manchester.
Except, making changes when no one believes him is hard.
And now he doesn't have a therapist anymore even though he probably needs one now more than ever.
And it's not like he can just block his dad out of nowhere, is it?

Summary
Apophenia (/æpoʊˈfiːniə/)- the tendency to perceive patterns and connections between unrelated things.
In an effort to increase team spirit, Ted changes up the roommate assignments for away games, sticking Jamie Tartt and Roy Kent together in the hopes that they can put aside their differences. Doing so makes Roy contend with being a better captain and Jamie a better teammate. It also a shines a light on things that Jamie wants to stay hidden. Fortunately for him, Roy can’t let go of the feeling that something is wrong and when things get worse before they get better, Jamie has more than one person in his corner.
_________________In which loans aren’t terminated, James Tartt is the worst, Jamie is just trying his best but struggles with being pulled in two different directions, and Roy Kent proves that he is ride or die even for pricks he definitely doesn't even like.
