Summary
He loved football, is the thing. Always had. He loved it back when he were just a wee gangly lad in a kit too big for him that he’d eventually grow into. He loved it in the prem, hearing thousands of fans chanting his name whenever he so much as breathed in their direction.
Loved, though. As in past-tense. As in, things are different now.
There’s a lot of things different now.
---------
Or, there are more ways out than just going on a reality show. Jamie Tartt knows this well.

Summary
Nobody has ever accused Jamie Tartt of being a genius, but it doesn't take a genius to figure sleeping after Wembley would be a difficult task. He's in Roy's spare bedroom. The spare bedroom in Roy Kent's house. On Roy Kent’s street. Up Roy Kent’s staircase. His spare bedroom. The one he offers to guests and stuff, and based on the fluffy pink unicorn staring at him from the assortment of pillows, one Phoebe often stays in. Which, mental, right?
Alternative title: 5 times Jamie struggles to find sleep, and one time sleep struggles to find him,
(Concussions sound a lot worse than they actually are, honest.) -

Summary
He had mentioned an inability to sleep, a hypothesis that Roman, who often would work into the night, was the same. He mumbled about the clarity of the sky, about the constellations that would be in view tonight from the outskirts of the city and before he could say anything else Roman had fished his keys from his jeans and pushed Logan towards the car park.

Stargazing in a storm had never seemed like a good idea until now.

Summary
Anduin Wrynn is the captain of his high school's basketball team.
Wrathion is the new kid determined to change his past.
Somehow, there's singing involved.Or, the High School Musical AU that literally nobody asked for.
One day I suddenly thought of Sylvanas as Sharpay Evans and I laughed for at least five minutes. I then thought of Anduin and Wrathion as Troy and Gabriella and I laughed for five more minutes. I laughed the entire way through writing this.This is hands down the stupidest thing I have ever done.

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.

Summary
Five plus weddings over the course of his barely 12 weeks off? He honestly didn’t even know he knew that many single people.
This does present an issue, though.
There’s no way Jamie Tartt can be seen at a wedding without a plus one. He’s got a reputation to maintain, after all. Not to mention that now that he’s barely drinking, trying to get through a whole wedding and reception without someone there to help distract him sounds like torture.
How’s he supposed to find dates to every single one?
Hmmmm I wonder how Jamie Tartt is going to solve this dilemma???

Summary
It was probably Roy’s fucking fault. You see, it was probably Roy’s fucking fault, because he had stupidly assumed that Jamie had enough common sense to realize that waking up at four in the morning meant he would need to be going to bed earlier in the night unless he wanted to be running on fumes. It was on him for thinking the little prick would behave in a normal or reasonable way about anything, he should’ve known better. So, now Roy had to fucking do something about it.
***
Roy decides Jamie needs a bedtime, Jamie doesn't think he needs a bedtime, shenanigans ensue. Also known as Jamie vs Bedtime.

Summary
Jamie Tartt is a mess, a ruin of competence and broken promises. He plays like he’s outrunning his demons, and knows they’re only ever one bad landing away. All spite, all courage, no mercy--least of all to himself.
In hindsight, Roy lost his heart, his head, and any claim on dignity about fourteen minutes into setting eyes on him. They hadn’t even spoken. The lad was at the presser announcing his transfer to Richmond, standing shoulder to shoulder with Rebecca at her most terrifyingly posh—and holding his own.
Past-him, the poor dumb idiot, had no idea. He was blissfully unaware that his life was about to go completely, irrevocably off the rails. He couldn’t have guessed that the jagged-eyed young Manc was the love of his fucking life.

Summary
He’s about to get into the driver’s seat when another flash goes off right in his face and some smirky fucker says, “So, you like taking it up the ass?”
“Love it,” Jamie’s mouth says before Jamie’s brain can get in on the action. “Feels fucking great. Have a good day!”
Or: the post-Season 1 fic where, Instead of self-destruction via reality show, Jamie tries self-destruction via public and very messy coming out. It works out better than expected.
