Summary
When Keeley opens the door, Jamie bypasses any kind of perhaps typically-expected greeting. While this isn’t exactly unusual for him, what he says is.
“I’ve got great news,” he tells her, smiling like he really does have great news, which helps to somewhat offset the sense of foreboding she’d been starting to feel. “I am not in love with you. Can I come in?”

OR: Jamie Tartt is aromantic. This changes everything. This also changes nothing. A study in identity, defining your own relationships, and different kinds of love.

Summary
In general, Nate would rather not have anxiety attacks. But he does, if thankfully less often now than in his secondary school days, and so when he starts to feel like his ability to breathe has suddenly stopped functioning, specifically in a manner that is going to be hard to just work through, he prefers to deal with it in private, at home. When that's not an option, he'll settle for his car, or a locked bathroom. When he gets really desperate, he has finding the closest unlocked storage closet down to a science.
If he had to pick the worst possible place for him to have an anxiety attack, it would be in a pub full of rowdy football fans and even rowdier footballers, all celebrating a win. If he somehow had to think of an even worse place, it would be the grimy one-person bathroom of said pub, where he was realizing too late that despite the unlocked door, there was someone else in here with a similar problem.

Summary
Roy Kent considered himself a man capable of showing mercy and kindness more than he ever thought possible. Some of that was because of Lasso, most of it was his Grandad and Keely and he'd rather be waterboarded than ever admit it but his Richmond boys cemented it. But Jaime Fucking Tartt could test Jesus himself.
“Hey Colin, Jamie is trying to steal your best friend.”
His voice was firm and the entire room went deadly quiet, he made himself comfortable for the incoming show. The entire team turned to Jamie.

Summary
It said something about him, probably, that Roy stayed on the bike through Jamie’s awful, gut-wrenching story, through his own grit-toothed confession that he’d irreparably fucked it with the woman he thought, once upon a time, that he’d spend the rest of his life with, only to lose it on the straight.
Or: in which Roy, haunted by Jamie's Amsterdam story, says something (or several somethings) he shouldn't, and Jamie adopts a cat.
