Summary
An Isaac McAdoo kicked ball to the arse leads Jamie to a night he's been waiting for since he was old enough to realise that it wasn't just Roy Kent's skill on a pitch that kept him glued to every Chelsea match shown for over a decade.
(Set after S2E7 Headspace, canon divergence)

Summary
Roy has noticed that Jamie and Maggie have been spending a lot of time together. Which is fine because they’re fucking adults and they can do whatever the fuck they want. But it makes him worry. Because Maggie is fucking good at her job, Roy respects her a lot, and if she and Jamie got… involved and things ended badly, he would hate for the club to lose her.
Yes, that’s why something uncomfortable stirs in him when he hears both of them giggling like kids in the treatment room. It can be so hard to find a good physio.
When a new physio starts working at AFC Richmond and she accidently lets slip her dislike for Zava, Jamie is expecting to become fast friends with her. What he's not expecting is for Maggie to clock his feelings for Roy so quickly. Shenanigans ensue.or, OC takes these two idiots and goes 'now kith'

Summary
What if Roy quit before he could be fired? What if his pain was taken seriously? What if he was deviously manipulated into coaching? What if he had spent his whole career denying himself his sexuality? What if Jamie kept being a fucking problem? What if everything happened just a little bit differently?

Summary
“The musical My Fair Lady,” Beard says, not lowering his book, “is based on the 1913 play Pygmalion by Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw, which is in turn based on the Greek myth of the sculptor Pygmalion.”
“So?”
“Pygmalion—” Beard’s looking at him from over his book now with that nonplussed stare—“sculpts a statue he finds so perfect that he falls in love with his creation.”
Roy finds himself glancing back through the doorway just as Jamie pulls off his shirt, pausing to fix his hair in the mirror before he opens the locker to grab his kit.
When Roy turns around, Beard’s buried in his book again.
“Right.” Roy frowns and shuts the door.
