    Summary

    Roy woke up feeling like death and calls his sister to get him to hospital.
    Jamie woke up feeling like death but keeps trucking and goes to work.

    Neither of them even considered that their matching pains could be anything to do with the vanilla vodka from the night before. But that one decision of Roy's, to drink Jamie's drink, leaves them both trapped together for the next two weeks.

    Summary

    “Jamie went up to Manchester.”
    “You miss him.”
    “No.”
    Yes.
    “Jamie went up to Manchester to see his father.”
    Ruth’s expression, which had lit up with teasing fondness at the thought of Roy missing his best friend, falls back into concern at this. She knows about Jamie’s dad, a bit anyway. She’d entertained Roy’s request, after Wembley, to be the one to take Phoebe to school in the morning, but asked that he stop by hers after and pulled an explanation from him. She’d sat with him in the kitchen and reminded him that they’d broken the cycle for Phoebe. He’d done everything he could for them. Maybe all he could do for Jamie at that time was a hug, but he’d done it. He’d done everything he could.
    Roy knows Jamie better now, though. He should be able to do more for him. He should be able to fix this.
    “I just wish I could make things better for him,” Roy admits.
    “You always do."

    Or, I have a lot of feelings about the finale trying to give James Tartt Sr. a half-assed redemption arc, and I think that Roy Kent would, too.

    Summary

    “I’ve got it!” Isaac proclaimed standing suddenly and walking over to the strategy whiteboard, flipping it to the blank side. He then started to draw out some sort of diagram, quickly titling it ‘Not Being Homophobic About Colin’s Sex Life’.

    Colin’s mouth was hanging open as he watched in silent amazement and horror as the team debated how to categorise various sexual activities. At one point, someone suggested that images might be a helpful aid, and next thing he knew, there were about 15 different stick figures having sex scattered across the whiteboard.

    OR: Colin Hughes and the slow journey to become the strongest and most capable version of himself.

    Summary

    You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

    That’s how the saying goes. Take enough punches from the universe and eventually it becomes harder and harder to pop back up, to see the worth in fighting back, to stop yourself from turning around and delivering some punches of your own.

    Tim never wanted to become the villain—

    “Appendicitis,” Tim breathed in disbelief. “Are you fucking kidding me?”

    —but he’d be lying if he said he wasn’t tempted to burn the world to ashes when shit like this kept happening to him.
