Original Work: Chicken Noodle Soup for Three by @catalogercas
Ted Lasso: Roy/Jamie/Keeley | Rating: Teen & Up Audiences
Summary:
Jamie is so distracted by Roy being in the wrong shop, or by his terrible headache, he's honestly not sure which, Roy is suddenly right next to him, giving the soup cans a withering look. "Oi, Tartt, it's a good thing it's not a competition because you're not even making any fucking effort here."

Reading your tags, and, no, really, why would kid Bobby pick up drinking as a coping mechanism immediately after seeing his dad die from an accident that was caused by his dad being drunk?
I know it's what Bobby had been been watching his dad do but it still baffled me.
RIGHT?! idk why they felt like THAT bit was needed... we already have a lot of backstory about bobby's backpain and addiction... my best guess is he was a kid, saw his dad drink to deal with his life (maybe even more so the days he was left alone with him) and in that moment, alone, probably feeling guilty that he stayed in his room all night... he was just a kid after all... i am questioning the writing decision for the new backstory here cause yeah i could explain away the why i guess??
actually just went to rewatch and the scene: it cuts right before he even gets to take drink after he stares at the glass for a moment. we do have that moment earlier in the ep where his dad gives him his glass and kid!bobby chugs it and then throws up/spits it out...... in a way it's a pretty open ended, well, ending. we do not know if he did take the drink or if he spit it out again??
what we got from the flashback was that he admired his dad for being a firefighter (also if i remember right he's a 4th generation legacy?? which episode was it where he said that he's a legacy??), who just yelled at him for calling 911 for a fire and that he could lose his job because of it, bobby holds out the album he made which his dad throws in the trash and then he finds him dead the next morning next to the bloody album.......... i mean do i wish they didn't make kid!bobby pick up the glass as if to show that alcoholism was idk inevitable for him??? YEAH. but i also could explain it away as that being the only coping mechanism the kid knew about :((((((
"Suppose I can call you 'Granddad' now," Roy snorts as Jamie tugs at the offending slivers of gray peaking through whatever version of "essentially brown" or "essentially blonde" Jamie's hair currently is and glares at them in the mirror. Like glaring at them will make them fucking disappear or change color or something.
He looks so upset it's almost comical.
And Roy knows instantly that he's made a critical error in judgment. If there is anything that Jamie is extremely fucking sensitive about, it's his fucking hair.
Which is why he isn't exactly surprised to be physically shoved out of the bathroom with the door slammed in his face.
"I'm sorry, Jamie," he says to the closed door.
Jamie doesn't say anything, but Roy can hear him practically sobbing, which he hopes is more about the gray hair itself than what he said.
He slumps against the other side of the door and texts Keeley. "Jamie's freaking the fuck out about having a few gray hairs. How quickly can you get hair dye that he'll actually use?"
"But he'd look so sexy with gray! He could be a silver fox like Nate." Keeley replies.
"Yeah, I'll tell him he looks like Nate. That won't make him have more of a fucking conniption." Roy replies.
"Yeah, you're right. Heading to the shops. I'll be over in around an hour. Think you can handle your own boyfriend until then?" Keeley replies.
"Considering I fucking called him "Granddad," debatable." Roy replies.
Roy sighs and runs his hand down his face before gently knocking on the bathroom door. "You okay in there?"
"Fine," Jamie says, his voice raspy enough that Roy knows he's still crying, and how Roy has ended up with the kind of boyfriend that would have a meltdown about fucking gray hair is a mystery for the fucking ages. Jamie fucking Tartt. Jesus.
"Are you going to come out or let me back in?" Roy asks.
"Eventually, yeah," Jamie murmurs. Before saying, " 'S 'not fair. You're fucking ancient and all your hair's still solid black."
"Want me to dye it gray?" Roy asks. "I fucking will. Chest and all."
That gets some snickering from Jamie at least.
"Jamie, I know you're fucking twenty-six. A few gray hairs isn't changing that. Hell, a whole head of gray hair isn't changing that. I'm still fucking fifteen years older than you and always will be."
"I know that," Jamie mumbles. "I just don't want me hair going gray is all."
"Yeah, I fucking know that. Keeley's getting hair dye for you. She'll be over in a while," Roy says.
"Really?" Jamie asks.
"Yeah. I knew you wouldn't use anything I fucking picked, but I figured you'd trust her judgment," Roy says.
"Sound. Yeah, I do," Jamie says.
He still doesn't come out of the bathroom for another twenty minutes, and Roy hopes he hasn't been in there crying about it the whole fucking time, but, knowing Jamie, he probably has.
Roy's been sitting on the bed waiting for him and immediately gets up to wrap him in a tight hug. "I love you, Jamie, gray hair and all. And, I love you even though you're having a fucking meltdown about your fucking hair."
"Yeah, yeah," Jamie says as he tucks his head against Roy's shoulder. "What's this about you dyeing your chest hair gray in solitary?"
"Solidarity," Roy says.
"Yeah, whatever. You're doing that," Jamie says.
Roy rolls his eyes. "Fuck. Fine. I'll text Keeley to get dye for me too."
"What? Really?" Jamie says. "I didn't think you were serious, mate."
"If it makes you feel better, I'll fucking do it," Roy says.
"I love you," Jamie says, pulling back to look Roy in the eye, his own eyes red rimmed and watery.
Roy moves his hands to cup Jamie's chin before rubbing his thumbs against the drying tear tracks before leaning in to kiss both his eyelids.
He can't believe how much Jamie looks like a kicked puppy over this, of all things, and, he also can't believe that he finds it fucking endearing.
He is absolutely fucking gone on Jamie fucking Tartt, and he's pretty sure this proves, more than anything else already has, that there's absolutely no turning back.
He's crossed the fucking Rubicon, hasn't he?
So when he's in his kitchen later watching Keeley pull a rainbow tie dyed cape around Jamie's neck, he's pulling up a site to look at engraved commitment rings.
Why do you tag Steve Yockey as the Ghost of Steve Yockey?
someone else answered the same question in 2021 so here's a link to their post and a rebloggable version of the video and yes indeed it escaped the enclosure:
Rules: post the last sentence you wrote (fic/ original/etc) and tag as many people as there are words in the sentence.
Sentence: “What are you doing here?”
I have no idea who has and hasn’t been tagged so far, but that’s 5 so I’ll go with @lunar-years @fanficfanattic @lemoncupcake @antitheticallyargumentative @may-be-magic

cactus ⇢ something you’re currently learning (about)?
The Twin Flames Universe via the Netflix doc Escaping Twin Flames. Very interesting!
jasmine ⇢ do you have a movie or book you loved but will never watch/read again?
Hmm probably Marley & Me. When I watched it my family dog was an elderly yellow lab. I came home and immediately dropped to my knees, sobbing into my dog’s coat. My Mom looked at me and says sarcastically “what’s wrong with you? What’d the dog die in the end?” And I just sobbed/cried, “yessssssssss.”
b - a pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.
ok this was kinda hard bc i either dont think abt a pairing ever or i dont think abt a pairing and then end up hating it... 😳 but imma say @coolpointsetta got me looking deeper at a jamie&rebecca friendship. it has become very important to me <3
Just curious, do you live in the US, where there are tornadoes? I want to know if tornado alerts are a thing in other states. It’s just “watch” and “warning” in Ohio.
Omg I knew something was off about that! Thanks I'll fix it.
No, I'm from Connecticut. The tornado headcanon idea came from a friend who once texted me her grandpa in Kansas was basically this guy: Dads During Tornados
Though I suspect Ted is a more reasonable version of this vid: Southern Dads Before a Tornado
