Summary
”Did you even mean what you said the other night?” Jamie's voice is quiet enough that Roy struggles to hear it over the din, and his eyes are fixed on his hands, tearing at the label on the beer bottle in front of him.
“What?”
“At that bar. Did you just ask me round to begin with so you could bring up Keeley? After you were done acting like we were mates and being all nice and shit?”
Oh. Shit.
...
Basically what it says on the tin: fix-it for the 3x12 bar scene and, mainly, Ted’s 3x11 advice to Jamie and that apparently-meant-to-be-happy montage moment with Jamie and his dad. (Which we stop from happening in this story.)

Summary
"I shouldn't be playing forward; I should be here, in the centre."
Jamie may be thriving in his new role on the pitch, but that doesn't mean he won't have a slight identity crisis when some things are pointed out to him.

Summary
Jamie doesn't know how to do this. No, Roy can't know what he's thinking unless he says it, but he doesn't know how to fucking say it, does he? There's a reason why he never has before. This was a bad idea to begin with. Shouldn't have said anything at all, should've just got on with it.
(Or, difficult conversations are neither Jamie's nor Roy's forte, but they're trying.)

Summary
Ted may have turned Jamie down on his coming back to Richmond in 2x02, but that's not where their talk that night ends.

Summary
There's a new striker coming in on loan from Man City and that's the beginning, middle, and fucking end of Roy's problems.
Or—Roy Kent goes slowly mad because Jamie fucking Tartt is a prick.

Summary
Jamie's trying to be good, is the thing. A good man would go visit his dad in hospital, no matter how much he'd rather not, right? If it were Jamie himself who were ill or hurt, Dad probably wouldn't come all the way to London for him... but Jamie is better than him. This proves it.

Summary
“Alright, enough,” Roy says. He reaches out, knocks Jamie’s wrist until he hands over the nearly empty bottle. “This is a fucking celebration. Let’s start fucking celebrating.”
Jamie blinks at him with something like confusion, dark circles like bruises under his eyes. I can’t sleep. And maybe he’s already getting tipsy, but something about the way Jamie keeps staring at his phone is doing Roy’s fucking head in.
“We could play a game?” Keeley offers, crossing one leg over the other. “That’s celebratory.”
Or, a little bit more Roy, Keeley, and Jamie softness, immediately post 3x11.
