    Summary

    When Jamie is seriously injured during a match, Roy and Ted are reminded how much they care about him--as a son, or as a younger brother, or as an exposed nerve. Jamie is reminded what it's like to have people care when his face gets knocked in.

    Summary

    Jamie collapses at training the day before an away game far from home, running a fever, and somehow this ends up being Roy's problem. And Ted's, when he persuades Roy to take it in shifts. It's both of their problem, though it's a problem for them in different ways.

    Ted struggles to keep the feeling of being helpless from sending him too deep into his own head to stay where he's needed. His experience as a parent both helps and doesn't.

    As for Roy, hating Jamie was a lot simpler than caring about him is. Taking care of him? Roy doesn't have a clue where he got the idea he was competent enough to do that. Especially when it feels like all he does is mess it up.

    (or: every fandom deserves at LEAST one tropey mess of a sickfic. here's one for us.)

    Summary

    Here’s the thing; Jamie didn’t actually know what was wrong. Just that there was something making his heart race and his head swim. He had woken up too hot, sticky with sweat and the distinct, primal urge to claw his own skin off and he didn’t even know why. He hadn’t dreamt of anything, or at least if he had, he didn’t remember it. It was a nice morning, still dark out but the promise of light beginning to peak over the horizon, birds beginning to warm up for their early chorus. He’d even slept fine, all the way through the night without waking up desperate for some water once. Something was just wrong, and he couldn’t put his finger on what.

    ***

    Jamie is unraveling at the seams, and he can't figure out why.

    Summary

    He peels his eyes open. Shit, they really must be giving him the good stuff, cause he could swear he knows that dark figure lurking in the doorway, where his old man came in a few minutes ago. He blinks a few times, waiting for it to vanish. It doesn’t.

    “Roy?” he croaks.

    He blinks again, and Roy…or whoever…is standing beside him, 'cept Jamie still can’t tell, cause he can only see his back, cause whoever it is isn’t looking at Jamie, he’s looking across the room. Towards that window. At Jamie’s dad.

    “The fuck do you fucking think you’re fucking doing here?”

    Yeah. That’s Roy.
