Summary
Here’s the thing.
It ain’t like Jamie’s never thought – daydreamed, sometimes – about it. He’s imagined it, again and again.
What his dad’s cheek’d feel like under his fist. Turn the tables, and all that.
His mum’d told him once that ‘violence only begat violence,’ and well, his dad’d begat him, didn’t he? (Jamie’d looked up the definition, once). So it stood to reason, then, that his dad’s violence would’ve leached into Jamie, like poison in his blood, and all it meant was that one day, one day, he’d give his dad as good as he got.

What if in Two Aces Jamie really was hurt?
Jamie's got the routine down. A smirk here. A smartarse comment there, and everyone is ready and willing to believe he's just a prick.
Its the perfect disguise.
Until its not.
Until someone sees through it.

Summary
The moment Jamie punches his dad, he knows this isn't over. Knows his dad can't let this slide. He doesn't expect anything less than retribution when he goes home.
Roy realizes in a split second that Jamie is made up of a thousand tiny instances that Roy has never witnessed. And he's not the selfish prick that Roy painted him out to be.
"Things start to improve. It’s a slow gradual pace, but it’s better than nothing, and Roy stops ignoring him. Ted still keeps on with his eternal cheeriness and his team starts inviting him places again. He goes to the pub with Isaac and Dani and the black hole feels a little smaller that night. And he thinks he can survive like this.
He’s learned his lesson this time, he really has. He’s not going to push for more than he deserves and he’s not going to pretend he deserves the same love that the rest of the team does. He so thoroughly burned that bridge it’s nothing but ashes. You can’t build shit out of ashes."
