Summary
In retrospect, playing the first match of the season with a high fever was not the best decision Jamie's ever made. He's still not sure he entirely regrets it.

Summary
Jamie's had a thousand good ideas before, but nothing beats his grand plan to make it so that Roy doesn't flinch when people just want to touch him. Pretty quickly into his plan, he starts to realize that maybe he's in deeper than he thought when it comes to intimately touching Roy Kent.

Summary
It's fucking freezing and according to the weather forecast there's a blizzard coming, so Roy just wants to get whatever Ted left behind and get on his way. It's a rare treat that he gets to drive himself to an away game instead of taking the bus with everyone else, so he's going to make the most of the quiet time alone.
Spoiler alert: Roy isn't getting any quiet time alone, he's getting stranded in a snowstorm with Jamie fucking Tartt.

Summary
On day four when he wakes up to the shrill sound of his alarm, he throws it across the room. It smashes, and he doesn’t even care. He just goes back to sleep and ignores everyone who comes to his door to find out if he’s alive or not.
It doesn’t matter. When tomorrow comes, it’ll just be today anyway.

Summary
So if he didn’t bring a guest, he’d be stuck at a table with Keeley and her new girlfriend, Ted with Sassy, and Rebecca. Rebecca and Sassy were okay—except in a show of solidarity with Keeley, Rebecca didn’t really talk to him anymore and Sassy was a bit much after a few drinks. He couldn’t imagine spending the entire night with that group and staying sane. Plus, showing up without a date gave the impression that he hadn’t moved on yet. Normally, he didn’t give a fuck about what impression he gave, but he didn’t want to look like the fucking pathetic, lonely wanker that he was. He couldn’t think of anybody he could invite—or would even want to invite—but there was one person who would probably find it just as tedious and awkward.
And, even better, Roy could make him go.
(Or Roy will take any excuse to ask Jamie on a date even though he's not ready to admit to himself if he wants to go on a date with Jamie)

It’s a perfectly normal day, the dressing room bustling and full of laughter, when Jamie realizes he can’t breathe.
It goes downhill from there.

Summary
“I –– I should go,” he manages to choke out, not looking at Phoebe’s glittery bubble bath. “I’ve kept you long enough.”
“What?” Roy asks. He looks confused in a way Jamie’s never seen him before.
“I’m intruding,” Jamie says gently, the same tone that he used to use to explain to his cousins why his dad was passed out snoring in the corner before Christmas dinner had even been served.
“No you’re fucking not,” Roy says instantly, circling his fingers around Jamie’s wrist so hard it hurts. “How can you be fucking intruding? I fucking invited you.”
Jamie’s head swims with all the f-bombs in that sentence. You’d think he’d be used to it by now.
or,
roy looks after jamie after man city.

Celebrities are known to joke about being in love with colleagues, and no one takes it seriously.
But what if this time, it is serious?
AKA Roy and Jamie have nothing to hide and yet no one believes them.

Summary
“Whatcha thinking about?”
Jamie asks the question as he sits down, handing Roy a third beer, another held loosely in his other hand.
What is Roy thinking?
He thinks Jamie looks fucking picturesque, sitting there at the table on their patio, overlooking the ocean, backlit by fading sun’s light. The breeze rustles Jamie’s Walnut fucking Mist hair, his more-than-half-opened shirt. He looks relaxed and happy, sipping from his beer. The sight of it makes Roy so fucking hungry for something he doesn’t even have the words to name.
Roy looks away, gazes out at the push-and-pull of the waves instead.
After taking a long swallow from his drink, he finally answers Jamie.
“Football,” he lifts a brow, as if to say, ‘what else?’

Or, Roy and Jamie go to Brazil and Roy learns to let himself want.

Summary
There’s a part of Jamie that’s still thirteen and awestruck, or seventeen and infatuated, or twenty-two and bitter and still fucking obsessed, that still can’t believe he lives in a world where he gets to have stuff like Roy Kent inviting him over for tea. Can’t quite believe this is his life.
Jamie’s summer, and beyond.

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.

“Amsterdam’s our thing, innit? It’s tradition. It’s like—the anniversary of when you learned to ride a bike. Your bikeversary.”

Summary
“You’re Roy Fucking Kent,” Jamie says at last, waving a helpless hand at Roy’s… everything. Big muscled chest, scratchy-looking beard, chocolatey brown eyes. Like a leading man in the romcoms his mum loves, all tall-dark-and-handsome or whatever.
But he ain’t in a fucking romcom, is he. He’s in Amsterdam, sat across a bistro table from his childhood hero and spilling his heart on their takeaway.
“I mean. How could I not fancy ya?”

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
“Everything’s wrong. Don’t know wh-what’s happening.”
“I’m coming,” Roy says, beckoning Phoebe to run and grab her backpack and pointing at her, himself, and the car, to Ms. Bowen. “Where are you?”
Jamie’s silent for a moment, and Roy hopes he knows he’s gonna be the reason Roy dies of a heart attack in his thirties.
“Manchester,” Jamie mumbles.
Fuck.
