(The one with 😬 was an accident!)

“Is the water warm enough?” Sam asked, eying his friend wearily.

Jamie nodded as the chattering of his teeth slowly decreased.

“And your knee feels okay like this? I could put a towel under it in the bath or I could hold it up or-”

Jamie encircled Sam’s wrist with a still too cold and now wet hand, stilling his excited energy and nodded again.Sam briefly wondered if Jamie was too tired, too upset, too overstimulated to speak but then he said, “Yeah, yeah it’s good. Thanks, mate, I can manage if you want–”

“I want to help,” Sam said, cutting him off, maybe too quickly. He was prepared for this, prepared to personally fight Jamie’s demons to allow the kindness of a friend, but suddenly he was feeling his position as tenuous. “Unless you don’t want me to.”

Sam was well aware Jamie had issues accepting help for things he had been conditioned against lest he look soft to his abusive father. Everyday he was greeted with something new this world had conditioned men to view as other, and Sam was never more grateful for the love and support his father and his family had raised him with, never instilling any of the toxic masculinity traits he and his teammates so often tried not to conform to. Jamie had not been lucky enough to have a father like Ola, and so while Sam wanted to do everything he could to help his friend, he also did not want to force him into doing something he would feel uncomfortable with and make the situation worse when he was injured.

“No, this is nice,” Jamie said, releasing his wrist and giving Sam a small smile. “Thank you.”

Relief and optimism flooded through the length of Sam’s body as he returned the smile.

Okay, so I just learned something new. Maybe y’all already knew.

But once a player has been subbed off, they can’t play again in that match. At all.

So when Ted benched Jamie, it wasn’t just that he did so with one minute before the half. Which was clearly to Send a Message. It meant he wasn’t playing any more at all that day. So he got 44/90 minutes.

I mean, Jamie stormed off the pitch. So it wasn’t like I had expected him to play in the second half. But he straight up couldn’t have.

I had to check rules over with @abubblingcandle (thanks!). Cause I had wondered if having a different starter for the second half still counted as a substitution. It does! So Jamie wasn’t playing any more whenever it was that Roberts went on.

It is just more obvious (and harsh) to sub him when there was still play on the pitch. More of a statement.

But that being the last game he played for Richmond before the cancellation of his loan was also a statement. Just one that Ted never meant to actually make. Rebecca understood the ramifications though.

Which is part of what really gets me. Ted’s lack of knowledge about British Football did harm to his players. Several second teamers left between season one and two. And their worth was diminished by no longer being Premier League players. 😬😭

Got brain wave today and wrote a fic. Like a whole fic, start to finish. Transcribing it as we speak but here's a snippet of it:

He cupped Jamie’s face between his hands. “See, you pass to Zava, and Zava scores. Zava scores; Zava wins. Everyone is happy. Even you.” He shook Jamie’s head for him. “See how much better it feels when you do not fight it?”

This happened in Richmond! They say in the caption that it happens once a month in the summer. So:

I didn't include Ted because he doesn't have a car but to me, if he did, he would total at least three like this during his stay.

Whump sequel finish soon maybe???

it is almost four times longer than the original jfc

In Ted's opinion, they'd never made a hospital worth stepping into. Hope and despair crowded into a maw; that's what hospitals were made of. Even the comfort came flavored with the scent of Lysol and dead orchids. You could call it an ER or an A&E or any other combination of letters, but a building by any other name would still give Ted the sense that he wasn't any better than a brightly colored bird in a cage being carried down a dark tunnel while people in white coats assured him that everything was perfectly all right.

But it did its job. The beeping and the machines and the people with the checklists, they were all just doing their jobs, and necessary ones at that.

To any of them, it might appear that Ted was also doing his job. It would be a charitable thought, to see Ted standing in the doorway and think he was checking in on one of his players, when the reality was that he was caught in place, no more able to close the distance between him and Jamie now than he had been at any other point during his tenure at Richmond.

unsung benefit i think a lot of ppl are sleeping on with using the public library is that i think its a great replacement for the dopamine hit some ppl get from online shopping. it kind of fills that niche of reserving something that you then get to anticipate the arrival of and enjoy when it arrives, but without like, the waste and the money.

Loved loved loved Five Times the Team Shows Jamie Kindess and One Time he Realises Why. Is there anything you want to share about it? I am looking forward to reading more whenever :)

Thank youuuu!

I love that you're looking forward to more! I have so many thoughts about what I want to explore with this.

I'd been rolling some thoughts around for a while about what if Jamie had really hurt his hand with that punch and what would it be like to have that constant physical reminder of something that he'd probably rather try to forget ever happened like the show. No, I'm not bitter we didn't get any real aftermath.

I also wanted to play around with Jamie's thoughts on the team and the team's reaction to Jamie. He was welcomed back in the space of an episode in canon (with the exception of Roy) but I feel like Jamie always felt like he was on probation, it was always conditional on his good behaviour and teamwork. I mean, in S3 he's still worried about saying something that might make people think he's a prick.

How long before he felt like he really belonged and was part of the Richmond family? How long before he learnt that people could care about him without wanting anything from him in return?

I'm still smooshing around ideas in my head but I think I can safely say there's going to be a chapter with Beard (because boy oh boy, Jamie's going to put 2 + 2 together and get close to 4 when he sees Beard's bruised face). Higgins, because I really want to explore how he feels about that advice he gave Jamie. And Sam, because Sam is one of the ones Jamie hurt the most in S1 so I feel like that journey from team mate I tolerate to actual friend would be interesting to explore. The fifth chapter is yet to be decided, might be Rebecca.

In the aftermath of Wembley, Jamie has to deal with a broken hand and a bruised heart, but the actions of the team slowly help him to heal in more ways than one.

For this week’s @ficwip word 'motion'. This is from the next chapter of When Darkness Falls. I'm hopefully not too far away from posting it.

The kitchen is constant motion, communication and teamwork. But there’s a void around Jamie. No one is talking to him unless they have to and they mostly leave him alone to get on with it. Simi keeps throwing looks his way, fleeting glances, not long enough for Jamie to even notice, let alone call her out on but often enough that Roy can tell she has concerns.

[nativestarwrites]

For this week’s @ficwip word: motion

“Now, Sam, I don’t trust Jamie to tell me. He’ll just say something, so I don’t worry. Tell me the truth, how is he?” Georgie asked.

Jamie made a motion cutting across his neck, trying to silence the truth before turning the phone back to himself. “I’m fine, Mummy, I just need to rest a couple days. I’ll probably be playing in the match next weekend.”

“Georgie! He is lying,” Sam said leaning over to be in view of the Facetime.

“Come on, mate!”

Sam pulled the phone from Jamie’s grasp.
