    Summary

    According to the article, the seven-year-itch could describe any long-term relationship that had reached a point of no return; a series of small hurdles, or one big moment of reckoning, and you either had to accept your relationship for everything that it was, make the necessary changes, or leave it altogether.

    She hadn’t read it closely, but she probably should have. Maybe then she’d remember what exactly the article said to do about it, when your boyfriend went and started having his breakdown-reckoning-itch without you. Especially when your other boyfriend wasn’t even bloody there to help you talk him down from his mountain.

    Or, three years into their relationship, Roy, Jamie and Keeley reach a crossroads.

    Summary

    "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."

    -

    sometimes it's just about shoelaces. sometimes it's not.

    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

    It's Jamie's idea, which concerns everyone on multiple levels.

    "Don't see why," says Jamie, looking mulish about it. He's got his stupid ICON cap on backwards, a pink tie-dye sweatshirt on over what Isaac's pretty sure's a pair of denim overalls. "I got good ideas, sometimes."

    "Aye!" says Dani. "Like the time you told me we should tie our shoelaces together to practice running up and down the pitch. That was a good idea, until we faceplanted and had to get stitches."

    The lads murmur in agreement. Jamie says, "Yeah, it were the stitches that got us, weren't it," as though that was the problem with that particular idea.

    Summary

    Tearing his ACL might be the best thing that’s ever happened to Jamie. He thinks Roy would probably disagree with him, though. Which, ok, fair. Hindsight is 50/50, or whatever the fuck they say.

    or: Jamie Tartt’s attempts at self-discovery, Roy Kent’s attempts at emotional vulnerability, and Keeley Jones’ attempts at making fifty quid.
