Summary
Roy Kent doesn't believe in soulmates. That doesn't stop him getting a soulmark when he turns fifteen. It also doesn't stop him accidentally bonding himself to Jamie sodding Tartt during a match, live in front of billions of people.
It was fucking embarrassing, really. Especially because the little prick genuinely turns out to be the one true love of his life.

Summary
“What if I don’t want to choose?” Keeley asked, even though she knew that was impossible. She would have to make a choice, even if it was to value her friendship with both over choosing either of them.
“What? Like date both of us at once until you figure it out?” Jamie asked.
Roy was staring at Jamie now. Or maybe glaring. It was hard to tell.
“What if I just want two boyfriends?” she asked.
She had meant it as a joke to try to lighten the mood. But as soon as the words left her mouth, she wanted to take them back.
They weren’t laughing. They didn’t look like they thought she was joking.
Set after season 3. Keeley doesn't know what to do about having feelings for both Roy and Jamie. They agree to her having separate relationships with each of them, but as time goes on the lines between Roy and Jamie get more and more blurred.

Summary
Roy, in that soft little part of him that cares about his best fucking friend quite a lot, wants nothing more than to comfort him, tell him he'll be alright.
"Tartt," he snaps. It turns out comforting is a difficult note for Roy Kent to hit. "Stay the fuck awake if it fucking kills you. No fucking passing out on the pitch."
"M'not... not gonna...," Jamie slurs, his hand resting limply across his face now. He gags, like he's holding back an upsurge of vomit, then swallows thickly. "Just... fuckin' dizzy."

Summary
Jamie is one of the returning contestants on the latest season of Lust Conquers All. He thinks taking a break from Keeley and Roy will give him a chance to move on and give them a chance to get back together with him out of the way, but things don't go as planned.
Jamie's not likely to last many weeks while he's rubbing everyone the wrong way by sticking to Roy's strict training regimen and talking about Roy so much that several contestants start to wonder if Jamie has a boyfriend back home.
Meanwhile, Roy's trying to enjoy watching the new season with the yoga mums, but that proves difficult when Jamie talks about him so much that the whole country seems to think that Jamie's in love with him. But there's nothing that Roy can do about it. At least not while he's stuck at home and Jamie's off sequestered without his phone...
(Set during the off-season after season 3)

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.
