    Summary

    Jamie’s having a shocker. He wakes up late. His train is delayed. He’s fired from his job for something he didn’t even do. And just when he thinks the day can’t possibly get any worse, he misses his train home by seconds.

    But what if he hadn’t? What if he’d caught the train?

    On one version of the day, Jamie gets home just in time to discover his girlfriend in bed with another man.

    On the other, he misses the train and his life takes a very different turn.

    Two trains. Two timelines. Two versions of Jamie’s life.

    OR: It's a Sliding Doors AU!

    Summary

    Hold on…

    If Buck sent a photo of him and Eddie to Tommy, that meant…

    Buck nearly dropped his phone scrambling to open his and Eddie’s text thread – and, well, much to his own demise, he had sent a photo of himself, naked from the waist down and sprawled across his sheets, hard as a rock. He’d sent a photo of his cock to Eddie. Eddie Diaz, his best friend.

    Fuck. Okay, wow. There was no coming back from that.

    -

    Or; Buck accidentally sends a photo meant for Tommy to Eddie, and vice versa.

    Summary

    “Am I in a relationship with Eddie? Like romantically?” Buck questioned, the anxiety thick on his tone as he awaited a response.

    “Yes,” Maddie replied quick enough that Buck wouldn’t be able to hear the lie in there, and in years to come if you were to ask Maddie about this moment she’d probably lie again and tell you she doesn’t know why she did what she did.

    But in reality she knows. She knows all too well why she lied. She wants her brother to be happy and with his memories he’s got too much at stake to try and get that happiness so she’s taking matters into her own hands for better or for worse.

    “I was hoping that’d be the case,” Buck smiled his truest grin of the day, content in the knowledge that he’d woken up in a better life than the one he remembered.

    OR

    Buck wakes up in the hospital thinking it's 2012, Maddie sees the perfect opportunity to meddle and Eddie goes along with it

    Summary

    Roy Kent agrees to one final match, one short speech and absolutely no emotional bullshit.

    Then Jamie Tartt arrives at Stamford Bridge carrying the Chelsea shirt Roy thought he had lost twenty years ago, along with rather too much knowledge about the man Roy used to be.

    Roy can handle fifteen minutes of football, forty thousand people chanting his name and an entire stadium discussing his legacy. Jamie looking at him like he still matters is a different fucking problem.

    or Roy Kent has spent years teaching Jamie Tartt how to become a better footballer. Unfortunately, Jamie has spent even longer being in love with him.

    Summary

    The third time The Thought crosses Roy’s mind, it doesn’t come as a sudden realisation like it had both times before. He doesn’t just happen to blink or some shit and get struck with the fucking epiphany that Jamie Tartt clearly, desperately needs a hug. It’s not a jolt to his system, not a surprise, not this huge blindsiding Thing that appears out of nowhere.

    No, this iteration of The Thought creeps up like a bad cold: slowly, lazily to start, so that it doesn’t seem like such a big deal at first, but that’s how it fucking gets you, innit, because soon enough you’re knocked clear on your arse with the force of it.

    And it’s fucking terrifying.

    ---------

    in which the touchstarved gays are no longer touchstarved but are still gay, Jamie's in his Mom City depression era, and Roy Kent is Trying His Best. Once again living vicariously through fictional sportsball men <3

    (can be read as a standalone, but the first fic provides some context!)
