Why this must be read:

As I’ve noted before, Pros canon gives us a rather sketchy background for the lads at best. Here, SAC imagines a bleak background for young Ray, the fire that forges him and sets him on his path to becoming the Doyle we knew in canon.

“I told you to – right then, you little shit, you need a good lesson!”

The blow sent Ray flying, the back of his head slamming into the filth-stained wall with stunning force. Dazed, he slid to his knees, his thoughts skittering aimlessly even as he groped desperately for his flick, his fingers slow and fumbling and reluctant to obey... Stupid. How could he have been so bloody stupid? The basics of the game. Always have an escape route, always keep control of the deal, and if the trick makes you nervous – get out. And he hadn’t, had he? Fuckin’ thick, just like Mum said... but Christ, they needed the money...
