Samwell is the kind of town where everyone knows everyone. That’s why everybody knows that Eric “Bitty” Bittle’s bakery is the only place to get a decent pie, why everybody knows that if you want to teach your kid to dance or sing you send them to Adam Birkholtz, and why everybody in town has a bet on when single dad Derek Nurse and diner owner and purveyor of Samwell’s best coffee Will Poindexter are going to finally stop messing around and get together

“The majority of Jack’s customers are serious collectors, who keep their finds high on shelves or behind glass. He always appreciates the ones who can look at these old things somebody decided they no longer wanted and see value beyond the price tag.”

Or, Jack Zimmermann owns an antique store and has a crush on one of his customers.

adam birkholtz/justin oluransi

In only a few short minutes, a limousine would pull up and deposit the first batch of gorgeous women into his lap. Then another limousine would provide the second round. And then a third. His only job would be to determine which women he found most attractive, with which he could see a potential for love.

As if the situation weren’t surreal enough, he’d had only two weeks to prepare for the next several months of his life. Two weeks to turn his life upside down.

As usual, he blamed Lardo.

Justin Oluransi quits his job and goes on the reality dating TV show The Bachelor looking to find love. It should be simple, but what he finds is nothing he (or Bachelor host Adam Birkholtz) could ever have imagined of in their wildest dreams.

Camp Samwell has been around for almost a hundred years, and Jack Zimmermann’s been a part of it for most of his life, first as a camper when his parents spend summers in nearby the campground in scenic upstate New York, then as a counselor, and now as the program director of the entire camp. The problem now is that the camp is attracting bad luck left and right, and they’re losing campers and staff at an alarming rate. Enter Eric Bittle, Jack’s new co-director. He’s young, enthusiastic, and maybe he’ll have what it takes to get the situation turned around.

Unfortunately, something powerful is in control of Camp Samwell, and it wants Bitty to get out.

(aka: a camp counselor AU, but with paranormal elements. New chapter every Monday and Friday)

eric bittle/jack zimmermann, shitty knight/larissa duan

When Eric Bittle started his new job at a local tech startup, he wasn't expecting to find a home.

When pro hockey player Jack Zimmermann agreed to a sponsored Instagram takeover for his favorite nutrition tracking app, he wasn't expecting their social media person to be quite so cute.

When Shitty Knight founded a company, he wasn't expecting being his friends' boss would be this hard.

(AU in which the gang all work together at a tech startup)

Jack's gloves are off, he has this Canuck in a headlock, and he's getting punched in the stomach. As he's pulled away, he tells the guy "good job, buddy" and gets "you too, pal" in return. They're both given five, and Jack gets a backslap from Guy when he joins him in the box.

"What is fighting anyway, eh?" he asks as he sits down. Guy laughs.

-

In which Jack is truly his father's son, old time hockey is played with fists, and Bitty has different expectations of what a good player should be.

There are certain beautiful, painful things that Derek has come to expect from life.

He expects the sun to rise each morning, and he expects it to set at night.

He expects the way that his muscles burn after a good practice, secure in his physicality and the feeling of home beneath his blades.

He expects Bitty’s pies to be most delicious fresh out of the oven; his momma’s matzo ball soup (piping hot and perfect) to be better than anything you could hope to get out of a deli; and the way that Sour Patch Watermelon candies burn the roof of his mouth.

Really, Derek expects a lot of things, but the one thing he never expected was for Dex to take him up on his offer.

It just never made sense.

Time stops. There's no sound, not even the blood that should be rushing in his ears. The Earth stops turning. The stars go dark. For a split second Eric knows what it's like to simply cease existing, to be sucked into a vacuum of silence. And then just as suddenly everything kicks back into gear, like a paused video returning to normal time. Eric can hear the beeps of the registers and the PA system announcing a special on croissants. They're probably not as good as mine, he thinks. He doesn't know why he thinks that, not right now. Not when-

"What happened?"

A week in the life of a death.

Alexei gets drafted third overall to the Providence Falconers. It's always been his dream to play in the NHL, but when he goes back home after the draft his dream is shattered when he learns there's no way for him to leave the KHL. As he tries to remain hopeful, he gets named to the 2010 Winter Olympics roster and once there he starts getting to know Kent Parson.

(Or, an AU where Alexei doesn't make it to the NHL.)

The spare key is under the mat, just like Poots said it would be. Hefting his carefully-curated care package under one arm, Jack wrestles with the key in the lock before tucking it safely back into its hiding spot. He shuts the door quickly behind himself, and is toeing out of his shoes when a voice echoes out from somewhere.

“Sweetheart, you’re home!”

------

Jack Zimmermann is an established hockey player. He’s three years in to his NHL career, has had the A for the Falconers for two and a half, and is ready to make winners out of the new group of rookies. He pulls one under his wing, affectionately nicknamed Poots, and it should all go as planned. But say Jack accidentally discovers that Poots has a boyfriend. And say that Poots wasn’t a very good boyfriend. And say, for arguments’ sake, Poots’ boyfriend definitely deserved better.

Jack is maybe, possibly, totally fucked.
