Summary
“So how’d the whole meeting your former coach and teammates after dropping off the face of the earth 5 years ago thing go?”
Jamie paused, taking a deep breath in slowly and releasing it even slower, looking towards the ceiling like it would somehow make the next words out of his mouth less embarrassing to admit out loud. “I panicked, and introduced myself to them like they’d never met me.”
***
Five years after Jamie Tartt quits man city and disappears off the face of the earth, some of the players at AFC Richmond participate in an outreach program where they visit some local school, and mentor some of the children. These two events are a lot more connected than they first seem.

Summary
Kaz Brekker has only known pain, fear and abuse from those who are meant to protect him, growing up in the corrupt foster system in Ketterdam, his most recent 'carer' being Pekka Rollins and the Dime Lions. Now Kaz is joining the Fahey family - Colm and his son, Jesper, Jesper's boyfriend, Wylan, and Jesper's foster siblings, Inej, Nina and Matthias.
Is there any way he can actually accept love and care after a lifetime of both his will and trust being repeatedly broken?
This is inspired by 'Fostered Crows' by KingLueyOfTheLab - which is a modern day foster family story and is amazing and I suggest you all go read it as well!

Summary
Ted Lasso is not a perfect man. Far from it, in fact. He’s a man of many regrets, something that’s not likely to change anytime soon.
Seeing Jamie Tartt staring up at him with such a defeated look on his face, the boot that was chucked at his head and only narrowly missed flopped idly on its side next to him, makes something clench up in Ted’s chest.
For just a moment, he’s sixteen again, just a few seconds too late and fucking devastated. And then someone, Jamie’s dad, if he even deserves to be called that, is in his face again and Ted can’t see him anymore. In that split second, where Jamie’s slumped shouldered frame and hollow eyes disappear, Ted is forty-five once more, and he refuses to have this regret added to the tally.
Ted pushes the door open.

Post-season 2 AU where, after getting kicked off of Lust Conquers All, Jamie decides not to return to England or football.

Summary
The knocking got louder and more furious.
“’lright, ‘lright, I’m here, relax, old man!” He put on his brightest grin when he ripped open the door, ready to run out and let Roy do the catching up.
But instead, his stomach dropped. And the world fell apart under his feet.
Pretty sure all color must have drained off Jamie’s face.Jamie’s dad pays him an unexpected visit. But Jamie isn’t letting him walk all over him again. Only, is that enough to keep him safe?

Summary
The energy of the room shifts suddenly as Jamie’s eyes widen. It’s as though he’s just waking up, looking around quickly to get his bearings straight- as if he doesn’t remember coming to Roy’s house at all. Maybe he doesn’t. When his startled expression finally lands on Roy just off to the side, Jamie’s eyebrows raise even though his shoulders relax. He looks down at the bath again.
“What’s this?” Jamie asks as he combs a hand through the beer head of bubbles on top of the water.
“A bubble bath,” Roy says gruffly. He stares straight forward at the open-faced cabinet in front of him that has piles of fresh black towels on each shelf.
A pause. “You put me in a bubble bath?”

Summary
‘I try to love my father for who he is. And forgive him for who he isn’t.’
That was the last time he listened to advice from Higgins. It must be Jamie’s lot in life to try to do the right thing and be knocked down because of it.
His father wasn’t always an asshole. Sometimes he could be borderline alright. When he wasn’t drinking of course. Which was rare.
So he’s arranged to meet him for a drink. 1 drink. He could handle that, right?

Summary
The sun is dying above them, its last rays peek through the gaps in the stands, and in that moment there’s so much Jamie wants to say, like, I’m surprised you don’t think I’m an asshole yet, You need to tell me how to look this hot after playing the full ninety, I’m glad I asked my agent to book me some random shitty hotel in Mexico, There’s something tearing me from inside and making me bleed when I look at you but I’ll never say it out loud because I value my reputation more than my feelings for someone I’ve met three days ago.
Instead, he says: “Can you go for an extra round? Playing football, I mean.”
(or: He was a barman. He was a professional footballer. What more can I say?)

Summary
When a blast from the past unsettles Jamie it leads to a very public meltdown.
—
“Fuck,” Roy grunts, not amused at all, and sits heavily down next to Jamie, his grandad knee seemingly giving out on him. “You are such a child. How have you survived this long?”
Huh.
That was the million dollar question wasn’t it.
Jamie had lived.
He existed.
But had he survived?

Summary
“So,” Trent starts, keeping his voice mild and professional. “We have all, by now, seen the footage from the unfortunate run-in you had with your father, the night of the twenty-fifth of April in the car park at Coventry City FC’s pitch.”
It would've been traumatic enough for Jamie's father to ruin Richmond's most recent victory in front of the whole team, but when the confrontation turns violent in front of a gaggle of reporters, the ensuing social media firestorm is even worse. Over the next two and a half weeks, Jamie will have to navigate the charges against his father, walk a gauntlet of publicity that he never asked for, and prepare to give the interview of a lifetime.
Luckily, Richmond has always been there to catch him on the other side.
