    Summary

    “If you have a soulmark, doesn’t that mean you have a soulmate?” she asks.

    Roy swallows down his growl. He doesn’t want to take this out on Phoebe. It’s just that he’s had a long time to wonder why he hadn’t found his soulmate yet. It’s very rare that a person reaches 40 without having found their mate. Yet here he was, just shy of his 41st birthday, and still the universe or what-the-fuck-ever hadn’t seen fit to send him his other half.

    Summary

    “Alright, come on old man, let’s see your moves,” Jamie said as he grabbed Roy’s wrist and began dragging him along.

    “I thought you said I wasn’t old!” Roy argued over the music. Jamie turned to face him once they were in the middle of the floor.

    “Only I can call you old, grandad,” Jamie explained with that cute little squint in his eyes, scrunch of the nose, and quirk of the head. Roy accepted that for what it was, letting his increasing buzz, the loud music, and Jamie’s intoxicating movements take over his mind instead.

     


    Aka Roy and Jamie have a memorable first New Year's together.

    Serves as an epilogue to I'll Be Home for Christmas 🩷

    Summary

    "If it's about Keeley, just save it, mate," he says, his mouth full of food. "Let's never bring this shit up again."

    "No," Roy huffs. He's not touched his own food yet. "It's— it's not about her at all. It's about me, and I don't know why I'm telling you this, especially now, but you have to promise you won't take the fucking piss, because I really just need to fucking say this, okay?"

    Jamie swallows his bite, and sets down the half-finished kebab. He straightens up a bit.

    "Yeah, okay. Go on."

    Roy takes a breath.

    "Right. Fuck. Fine." He clenches one fist in his lap, trying to ground himself with the sensation of his nails digging into his palm, but they're too short to really do much. He's bitten them into stubs this week. "I'm losing my vision. Like, badly. I'm going fucking blind."

    -

    roy can't see so well at night anymore. things get worse from there.

    but also, maybe, a little better.

    (or, the one where i took a throwaway line from season 1, asked "is anyone gonna make angst out of this?", and didn't wait for an answer.)
