    Summary

    All of Roy’s careful avoidance and rationalizations and compartmentalizing exploded in his face in the most unexpected way–Jamie Tartt standing alone, hand clenched in a tight fist, his determined face crumbling into a wild look of uncertainty and fear.  Roy felt that terrible, irrational reality scratching at his brain, tingling in his legs, pounding in his chest. That awful reminder that every second of every minute of every day he was forcing himself to forget what could not be forgotten. He became untethered from the anchor of denial, his body free to move across the room, to enclose Jamie in an embrace neither one of them could escape.

    Summary

    “So…” Michael said with a small smile. “I’ve been having a wonderful time, but before we declare this a successful date, I believe you wanted to attempt to scare me off?”

    Colin rolled his eyes. “Well, you don’t have to put it like that.”

    “How would you put it then?”

    “Providing you with all the information preemptively, so you have the chance to back away gracefully now, rather than break up with me in a few months and probably ruin any chances of me at least salvaging a friendship with you.”

    “A bit wordy, that.”

    OR: Colin and Michael's relationship (the early years).

    Summary

    The best outcome was winning the match and winning promotion and having Roy pull him into his arms—albeit with a forehead to the face first—and holding him in a tight hug while they celebrated. Unbelievable. Absolutely amazing. Perfect in every way, four stars, would get nutted again for that hug. What Jamie was not prepared for was the weirdest possible outcome, which was Roy sending him a text two weeks after the end of the season that simply contained an address. Presumably his address, but maybe it was the location where Roy planned to make Jamie dig his own grave before murdering him. There was no further explanation given, and Jamie’s common sense told him to ignore it, but his instincts told him it was best to go to where Roy was, and if that was a mysterious location with a pair of shovels, then so be it.

    Summary

    It starts with...

    "I'm sorry," Roy heard himself say from what felt like a very long way away.  "But I could fucking swear you just said that Jamie fucking Tartt beat me to saying 'I love you' to my own fucking girlfriend and I know I must be fucking hearing things because-"

    "No, yeah- Sorry, that's actually exactly what I said," Keeley said with a grimace, peeking out from behind her fingers in mortified delight.  "And at a funeral no less, the both of you- Don't you know you're supposed to be sad at funerals?  We were just talking about this earlier-"

    And leads to...

    "Jesus mate, I was just trying to understand you!  Dunno what's got your panties in a wad but-"  Jamie trailed off as Roy's heated glare dropped to his lips for half a heartbeat before he grimaced and abruptly released his collar.

    Jamie's face lit with sudden understanding and his hand shot up to catch Roy's wrist before he could move away.  "So she told you we used to talk about you, eh?"

    Summary

    “My opinion,” Dani said quietly, “is that Richmond will not be the same if we lose you to Casablanca. You have…you are integral to the team, Sam. Valued by us.” His throat bobbed. “Valued by me especially.”

    “Dani—”

    Dani kissed him.

    Summary

    When he gets home, he calls his father and listens to him ramble about this and that for a full five minutes before blurting, “I’ve just thrown my career away.”
    There’s a pause, and then his dad ventures, “Surely that’s an exaggeration?”
    “I’m afraid not. I quit – or technically I was fired, but I sort of forced Greg’s hand.”
    “Dare I ask why?”
    Trent sighs heavily and leans back in his chair. “I’m afraid I may have done it for a man.”

     

    Trent Crimm, in the aftermath of his article.

    Summary

    “I’d’ve thought you’d be out celebrating with the team,” Ted said at last.

    “Yeah, I was for a while. Just…” Jamie sniffed, leaning forward to examine a stain on the bar that had probably been there for decades. “Got bored, I guess.”

    Summary

    “We got a platform here,” Ted says. “One that matters. Got a chance for a lot of people to feel seen. But I’m no good at talking about this stuff, never have been.”

    Trent picks out the part of that he feels most equipped to deal with. “You’ve never appeared to struggle with words before.”

    “You’d be surprised.”

    Trent says nothing, and Ted presses onward. “I’d like to give a speech. Let people who might be going through something similar know that they’re not alone. Do it some justice. And I want you to write it.”
