Summary
Georgie comes round on a Sunday, the way she usually does: carrier bag full of things nobody needed, a coat too warm for the weather, an old envelope of photographs she'd nearly forgotten she was carrying.
Roy didn't expect an afternoon of tea and banter to end with him understanding Jamie a little better than he had that morning. He definitely didn't expect to end up in a photograph of his own.
OR
Roy, Jamie, and a Sunday spent somewhere between who Jamie used to be and who he's letting himself become.

Summary
Maybe it’s pity, the shitshow this kid has no idea he’s walking into at Nelson Road. Mannion’s a creep, Cartrick’s a cunt, molding a dressing room of mediocre-talent mini-cunts and wondering why he’s never so much as broken the top ten in all his years managing damn near every club in the greater London area.
Or maybe it is just that echo of old appreciation. The kid’s in the presence of greatness, and he knows his place, even if he’ll put on a bit of a performative strop about it.
…Or maybe it’s just that touch of pink in pretty cheekbones and a jawline a model would envy, the lip that’s gone a bit raw for the anxious abuse inflicted since Jamie fucking Tartt walked into the club.
“What do you want, Jamie Tartt?”
The bag shifts on Jamie’s shoulder, he’s still holding the fucking bag. He scuffs his feet and looks up through his lashes all bashful, the little actor, and suggests, “Could have a little kickabout?” and stutters Roy’s brain to a fucking halt in its earnest innocence.
Fuck’s sake, he really is just a kid who appreciates good football.

Summary
“Yeah, this is not how I wanted to spend the off-season.”
“I don’t think anyone would wish for their piece of shit father to out them to the press.”
Jamie flinched, a small jerky movement backwards that made Roy worry for his mug. He focused on that instead of the rest of the worry he was feeling.
“Sorry. I’m not known for being tactful,” Roy gritted out, body tense with a now disgustingly familiar need to fix the situation. Fucking Ted Lasso.
“You can be when you want to be.”
what else is roy to do except organize a mass coming out in order to protect his favorite boy??
