Summary
Jamie sighs dramatically, then starts running again. Roy jerks into motion to follow him.
"If it’s embarrassing, we don’t have to look at each other. Come on. Tell me."
Roy takes a moment to question how the fuck his life has come to laying out all his problems for some twenty-six year-old prick who does nothing but take the piss out of him, then realizes he doesn’t fucking care, because he fucking likes having Jamie as a friend. Ridiculous.
"I was helping Phoebe with her homework last night," he starts, "but then we got to the maths bit, and… it was too fucking hard. I couldn’t do it."
-
or, roy hates maths, and jamie is full of surprises.

"Are you waiting for a fucking invitation?" Roy says, walking out of his office and noticing Jamie sat there, the last one left in the dressing room. "Move it, Tartt."
Jamie opens his mouth, closes it, and opens it again. Roy stares him down.
"Um, I can't—" He holds up his casted hand, his face growing hot. "I can't do my laces, Coach."

Summary
Sam was snuggled into the hotel's pillows, halfway to dozing with impending sleep cradling him in her arms, when someone shook him by the shoulder. It was Jamie's voice, soft and furtive, that reeled him back into the chaos of the slumber party with:
"Can I do your nails?"

Summary
Moe stared face to face with the one-eyed rat and contemplated the unfairness of a society wherein your existence relied on caveats.
Sure it’s a rat, but this one’s nice.
Sure it’s a rat, but this one lives indoors all the time and never interferes with anyone else.
Sure it’s a rat, but have you ever considered it has rat friends who really love it?
Keeping it indoors must really help with overpopulation.
No one wanted rats, not really.

Summary
Roy makes it all the way to the treatment room, hand on the doorknob about to open it when he stops short.
Because fucking Jamie Tartt is sitting in their treatment room.
Roy has every intention of just turning around and walking away, Until he sees a boot flying across the room, nearly clocking Jamie in the face. Until he sees someone cuffing Jamie upside the head, screaming at him with disappointment and anger.

Summary
Natalie cracks open a bottle of sparkling Moscato with an audible pop! and remarks, “Just look at the muscles in those forearms. He could hold you up against a wall, no question.”
Roy, who has never once looked at Jamie Tartt’s arms with anything other than detached professionalism, and really only during the rare instances when he was on spotting duty at the weight bench, downs an entire glass of wine and resigns himself to what amounts to psychological torture every Wednesday evening for the foreseeable future.
Roy reluctantly watches the entire season of Lust Conquers All.
Despite that, he doesn't really figure out how to deal with Jamie Tartt until months later.

Summary
His relationship with Jamie has been complicated since he met him. Some of it was just Jamie, bright and talented but such a prick. Some of it was just Roy, well into his decline when Jamie showed up and he was angry, always, and Jamie doesn’t respond well to loud angry men for obvious reasons so he would respond with more prickishness, Roy would get angrier . . . it’s a cycle he’s not proud of.
He's trying to break it.

Summary
"Jamie’s fairly certain at this point that it is the natural order of things: you have to go out and drag joy home by the ear if you want any. So, he’s got no problem with that, he never did really. It’s just, well, it’s been increasingly difficult to do that. Or to feel anything other than… He’s not entirely sure what to call the weight pressing down on his chest when he sits in the locker room before training, but it’s that. All the time. And it is fucking Zava’s fault."
...
The evening before Richmond's last training for the Boxing Day fixture, Jamie feels so alone that he decides to go and buy a Christmas tree for the first time in his life. He gets in a car accident on his way there.
He's not sure how he could have alerted anyone of that fact with his phone gone and probably broken to pieces, but people seem weirdly mad about it. Jamie's convinced that's also Zava's fault.

Summary
Jamie Tartt is hard of hearing due to a few too many knocks to the head when he was growing up. He doesn’t realize this until coming back to Richmond after LCA, where he doesn’t just have to navigate becoming a better person, but accepting that needing accommodations isn’t soft. This journey follows from childhood, then all through canon up until the end of season 3.
AKA: HoH!Jamie Tartt canon compliant rewrite
