David/Patrick || Rated T || 3,352 words

Here’s the thing: Patrick has been doing magic since he was eight years old and it’s never backfired. His magic has always been very straightforward: he thinks hard about what he wants to happen and then it either happens or it doesn’t. There’s no in between.

So, when they walk into their hotel room and David makes a face at the absurdly tiny beds and asks Patrick if there’s anything he can do about it, Patrick doesn’t hesitate.

Or, David and Patrick attend an overnight conference and Patrick’s magic starts to go haywire.

Howdy. 👋

Not only will there be a new volume of CHECK, PLEASE! in the works...

But CHECK, PLEASE!: YEAR FIVE will be...

…THE YEAR OF THE FROG. 🐸 🏒 ✨

Below, find a summary of what the newest volume of CHECK, PLEASE! will have to offer… highs, lows, and a whole new SMH!!

Samwell mens hockey’s favorite baker—and championship-winning senior captain—has graduated! How will the team survive? Problems abound as their new captain, Dex, learns that the effortless balance Bitty maintained on the team isn’t as easy as it looks. Then, ultra-aloof Nursey must finally drop his “chill” and get vulnerable in a senior poetry seminar. And to make matters worse, Chowder faces the dreaded ‘SSGS’ 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 Chowder’s friendship forever. Before they graduate, to save their team and themselves, the three seniors must come together and ask the question: ‘What does Samwell hockey mean to you?’

I can’t reveal any more spoilers, but I’ll leave you with that question—what does Samwell hockey mean to you? Look out for more Check, Please! news in the months to come!

Fic Author Self-Rec Meme!

Thanks @sweatersinthesummer for tagging me! Choosing my 5 favorite fics is so difficult because I am simultaneously very hard on myself and very fond of all of them 😂

suddenly this summer it's clear || Check, Please! || Nursey/Dex

I’ve been overwhelmed (in a good way!) by the response to this fic. It was a labor of love and I’m very happy with how it ultimately turned out! It’s probably the funniest thing I’ve posted? At least I was giggling to myself the whole time I was writing it 😆

maybe tonight (the stars align) || Check, Please! || Nursey/Dex

I wrote this for Deck the Haus 2022 and I’m proud of how it came out. It’s not as silly as what I usually write (although it has its moments!) but I really wanted to explore feeling a bit lost after college now that the thing that defined you (hockey in this case) is no longer in your life.

compilation error || Check, Please! || Nursey/Dex

My first NurseyDex fic after obsessing over them for months! It’s loosely based on something that happened to me in college, plus, as a software engineer in real life, it was very fun to project my coding woes onto Dex 😂

on a night like this || Schitt's Creek || David/Patrick

There's only one bed but make it ✨magical✨ - I had so much fun with this one! I'd been wanting to write a magical spin on an "only one bed" fic for a year before I ended up writing this, and it turned out even sillier than I imagined!

we've got these days of summer || Schitt's Creek || David/Patrick

This was the first fic I wrote after an unintentional 8+ year writing hiatus, so it has a very special place in my heart. It also led to so many friendships and an incredible, supportive community that I will forever be grateful for ♥

Not sure who has already done this, but I will tag @swiftlythebest, @thesleepyskipper, @hullomoon, and @dinnfameron!!

The Hypothetical Us NurseyDex, 3.3k words Getting Together, First Kiss

“Can I kiss you?”

Dex asks the question out of nowhere, and with so little inflection that it takes a full minute for Nursey to understand the individual words, let alone what exactly they mean when spoken in that order.

Rain beats down across the Samwell campus, cooling what was once a hot, August day. Nursey and Dex are the first ones back from summer break, side by side on the front porch to watch the storm, and the Haus behind them is as empty as when they left it. A different kind of empty, though, now that Bitty’s gone.

Nursey’s a little scared they won’t be able to ever properly fill it up again.

He’s a little scared of a lot of things going into their senior year, if he’s honest. And now here’s the most unexpected of curveballs to cap off his first day back.

Can I kiss you?

Nursey finally registers the words, and his breath catches in his suddenly frozen lungs. His heart hiccups.

He’s never actually been on the receiving end of that question before.
