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.

“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??

Summary
Jamie thinks if these were normal people - normal friends, they probably wouldn’t care as much as they do. Wouldn’t be this perceptive. However, he has somehow managed to make best friends with none other than Dani Rojas and Sam Obisanya. They are both warm rays of warm sunshine. Cups of tea on cold days. Bright lights at the end of a tunnel. Warmth and hope, and friendship.
Surprisingly, also two of the most perceptive players on the team, and bloody traitors apparently.
-/-/-/-
Or a series of times when Jamie realises he has actual friends now, who actually care about his well-being; enough to tattle on him every time something bad happens. Sick, hurt and misunderstood Jamie being looked after by the team.

Summary
Jamie Tartt were the best fucking striker in the fucking league. Everyone knew he were the best, and everyone knew he had to be a sado dom, because sado doms made the best fucking strikers, didn't they?
It were all the aggression they brought to the pitch.
But Jamie Tartt had a fucking secret.
Or at least, he did have a fucking secret, until his loan to Richmond AFC.
He'd done so good- no one'd fucking guessed he was a sub in academy or at Man City. He'd done everything, to keep that secret a fucking secret.
He'd done so good, until Roy fucking Kent figured it out.

Summary
Roy Kent has rules for everything. Unfortunately, Jamie Tartt has spent years being the exception.
When Roy benches Jamie before a match he should be starting, the argument that follows drags a lot more than one bad team sheet into the open. There was the twelve-week affair neither of them ever really got over. Manchester. Richmond. The lines Roy kept drawing because he thought they were safer. The things Jamie kept pretending didn’t hurt.
Now Roy is Jamie’s manager, Jamie is no longer twenty-three, and both of them are running out of ways to call whatever this is anything other than what it has always been.

Summary
Early in Ted’s tenure as coach, Sam and Jamie end up as roommates during an away game. That night Sam discovers Jamie is suicidal after Jamie asks him to sit with him, feeling like he might kill himself if he’s left alone. Jamie thinks Sam will leave him be afterwards, but Sam can’t just let Jamie walk away knowing all this, it wouldn’t be right.
Sam’s attempt to look out for Jamie, even if Jamie thinks it’s not necessary, pushes him to become more confident and assertive, stepping up as a leader. Meanwhile, Jamie is pushed to be more open by Sam refusing to let him go on as if any of this is okay or normal. As their friendship develops, Jamie grapples with his childhood trauma, while Sam works through how he feels about becoming friends with someone who has bullied him in the past, as well as figuring out how to feel about the fact that Ted and Roy are imperfect people too, especially when it comes to how they approach Jamie.
AKA the Sam and Jamie season 1 friendship au with suicidal!Jamie

Summary
Roy loads the stupid pink leopard thing into Keeley's car, carefully wrapping a stray hoodie around its head to keep its stupid little porcelain ears from getting chipped on its journey to her new life. He takes the plane tickets out of his jacket pocket and stares at them for a moment. Then he stomps back inside, plants his feet in the middle of the lobby, and bellows, "TARTT!"
Jamie's naked top half pops out of the doorway to the gym. "Yeah, Coach?"
Roy tucks the tickets back into his jacket and says, "Let's fucking go."

Summary
“It’ll take two seconds,” Higgins says. “I like to keep up to date with all the players, you know. I just thought, well, you moved recently. And your emergency contact.”
He pauses here, and Jamie raises an eyebrow. His emergency contact? He’d probably filled out some joke response last time, hadn’t he. Fucking Queen of England, Boris Johnson’s wife, something good.
“Oi, let’s see it then,” and Higgins passes over the paper like it’s a live bomb, and Jamie scans down to where he sees his own handwriting sitting over a few dotted lines, and, well. It sure ain’t the Queen.
or: Jamie goes through a series of unfortunate events, changes his emergency contact a few times, and considers the possibility that maybe, actually, letting other people help isn’t all bad after all.

Summary
No curfew tonight. That meant he’d have an excuse to be up at four. That meant he could take Jamie out for training, and at least that would be normal. That would be something to look forward to. That would be something.
“Tonight’s going to be magical.” Jamie’s voice cut through the din as he began to make plans for his big night out and oh, there was something else slashing through him. Something new and red; it made his temple throb. He was shouting before he knew it, stopping Jamie cold in his tracks. No fucking planning. No fucking lads. No fucking holiday. No fucking fun. No fucking way. Not while Roy felt like his fucking head was going to fucking explode.Series

Summary
The amenities listed on the windmill's Airbnb page include a washing machine and tumble dryer, which Jamie finds a bit ridiculous (it's a fucking windmill) but he's grateful for it, because he really needs a shower and he wasn't looking forward to putting those sweaty pants back on. The amenities do not include spare clothes, and washing them takes a lot longer than the shower does, so Jamie just wraps a towel around his hips. It's not like Roy hasn't seen him in less.

Summary
The reaction in the dressing room is about what he was expecting. A few back-slaps and congratulations. A side-eye from Isaac, which he'll need to deal with later. Most of them are avoiding eye contact, probably just because they're scared of saying the wrong thing, but there's no telling for sure. All in all, it's not the most fun Colin's ever had in his life, but it's not that bad. Could have been worse.
Then Roy Kent kicks in the door and announces, "I've had sex with men and I fucking liked it, no regrets, and if anyone's got shit to say they can say it to me and not to anyone else. Is that fucking clear?"
