More about it under the cut:
John Rich & The Big Picture is a very funny story about a very anxious man hurtling towards his soulmate at 200 mph.
At 28, John Rich is the youngest cover artist in the illustrious history ofĀ The New York Review.Ā This means, every week, he draws a portrait of some notable person and this portrait becomes the cover of this very prestigious magazine. But when John is tasked with drawing the supposedly vapid (and obviously gorgeous) action movie star, Tyler Hughes, he discovers that Tyler is the one person he cannot draw.Ā
Idiot enemies to idiot best friends to idiot lovers
Grumpy (he's anxious and an arrogant bitch)/Sunshine (he's actually just a people pleaser and class clown)
PINING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Slow burn with "fuck yeah" payoff moments ššā¤ļø
PLOT & WORLDBUILDING. aka other STUFF HAPPENS!
They have to work together
The purest nerd/jock romance ever, like we squeezed thousands of nerd/jock fruit for single drop of nerd/jock essence
Samwell in the summer is kegsters and cut grass, late nights for no reason and sunburns, swim trunks in backpacks and long afternoons on rooftops. Thereās aĀ longing to the air, and it seeps into everyone; even the professors are distracted now and then by a clear sky and a warm breeze, pausing mid-lecture to sigh and stare outside and smile ruefully at their students before continuing class. Everyone wants to indulge on days like this.
Itās a season of fullness. The parties are sexier. The alcohol flows freer. And on nights like tonight, when the room is bursting over, no one seems to notice when Ransom leans in a little too close for it to mean nothing. No one seems to notice how often Holster leans back.
Right now Holsterās talking to March and April from the volleyball team, and Rans isnāt looking, because heās making out with one of last yearās bio classmates where Holster can definitely see. Itās a good kiss. Rans tries really hard to leave parties with a good kiss, because it keeps both the ruse and his reputation in a tidy spot. He likes that people know heās a good kisser. Every party needs a showstopper, and Holster ā Holster doesnāt need the reminder, he doesnāt, but sometimes it feels likeā
Ransās former classmateās smiling into his lips. Her name is Grace, he thinks; they spent enough time together for him to know sheās into him but not long enough to remember her name. Heād feel worse about it if he thought sheād care. A summer kiss is a summer kiss.
Hands in his hair, nails a slight and deliberate pressure, a subtle brush of tongue. Usually this is when heād kiss his way along her jaw to her ear and whisper an invite back to his place. Tonight, though, Rans tugs her bottom lip with his teeth and steps away.Ā
āI gotta go,ā he says.
Grace touches her mouth. Gives him the eyes. āMaybe we can do it again sometime?ā
āYeah, for sure,ā he tells her, even though he knows they wonāt. Sheāll meet someone else and heāll be another hookup and he still wonāt hold Holsterās hand as they walk home.
Over her shoulder, Holsterās still laughing with the girls, the sweat on his neck shimmering, and Rans can almost taste it.
even if nurseydex doesn't happen i like to think about all the new ppl who are going to get into check please for the first time during year 5 bc of heated rivalry etc. and they're going to see nursey and dex and go "huh i wonder if anyone has written fic about these two before" and the AO3 results are just thousands of the most soul crushingly beautiful fics ever written

Samwell mens hockeyās favorite bakerāand championship-winning senior captaināhas graduated! How will the team survive?
Problems abound as their new captain, Dex, learns that the effortless balance Bitty maintained on the team isnāt as easy as it looks. Then, ultra-aloof Nursey must finally drop his āchillā and get vulnerable in a senior poetry seminar. And to make matters worse, Chowder faces the dreaded āSSGSā and is having the worst season of his college career.
But when change arrives at Samwell hockey, it not only threatens to rip the team apart, but could destroy Dex, Nursey, and Chowderās friendship forever. Before they graduate, to save their team and themselves, the three seniors must come together and ask the question:
āWhat does Samwell hockey mean to you?ā
