fic idea every day #17

Trope: PWP, Setting: University, Word: Chemistry.

Hooking up with a TA is a bad idea, which is why no one would be fucking surprised that Adam's totally up for it.

Hooking up with his Chem TA in the chemistry lab is an even worse idea, but somehow he's got Oluransi's hands up his shirt and his tongue in Adam's mouth and there'd be plenty of time to remember that this is a terrible idea afterwards.

[ID: 1. Dex sitting up in bed in his freshman dorm wearing only boxers, flushed with fever, messy hair, snot dripping from his nose. He is staring at the thermos in his hand that Bitty left for him, thinking “he made me soup…and pie…” 2. Repeat of panel one, Dex now looking stricken and blushing from chest to hairline, thinking “oh, no…” A pride flag has taken over the screen. /end ID]

Freshman Dex: something LGBT happened to me today

[zimmerwhore]

i also think jack watched ratatouille once and cried and it changed him but nobody has to know no one will know until shitty walks in on him crying and watching it on his laptop and jack is like oh shit ive been found out my hockeysona has been undermined but shits is just like "god yeah" and sits down to watch it with him

[parseisflat]

yeah ok whatever jack and bitty chirping each other over their pronunciation of “pecan” blah blah blah what i really wanna see is which pronunciation their kids develop and how offended the losing parent gets

the autumn of his senior year, dex comes back to samwell and he resolves that this will be his hoe phase. he starts off strong and makes out with 5 guys all in one night at samwell's gay club. but the next morning he realises he's deeply, cripplingly in love with his teammate and the hoe phase is condemned to non-existence again

dinner & diatribes shitty/lardo agenda

“You don’t have to go to this, you know,” Shitty tells her, not for the first time.

“I know,” Lardo replies simply, focusing on her reflection in the mirror as she eases her gold hoops in. 

“It’s probably not gonna be fun. Hell, I wouldn’t even be going if I didn’t have to.”

“Shits,” she says, voice stern but still gentle. “I know. I want to go with you.” She looks at him in the mirror. “We’re a team.”

A small smile lights up his face. “I love you.”

“I love you too.” Lardo smirks. “Plus, spending an evening eating rich white people food is totally worth the microaggressions.” She’s struggling to get her necklace clasped. “Will you help me with this?”

He takes a few steps forward until he’s standing directly behind her. She sweeps her hair over one shoulder, exposing the back of her neck for him. His fingertips brush against her skin and if it wouldn’t make them late, she’d strip him out of his suit right here and now. 

Shitty leans down, pressing a kiss to the top of her shoulder, his mustache tickling her. “There you go.” 

She stands, pushing back from her vanity, and turns around. He stares down at her, love filling the silence and space between them. Lardo reaches out to straighten his tie, not because it’s all that crooked but because she wants to rest her hand on his chest to feel his heart, steady beneath her fingers — so she does. 

“It’s gonna be alright. And if you really feel that bad about it” – now she stands on her toes to speak into his ear in a low whisper — “you better make it up to me later tonight.”

holster is serving me “as long as i’m not crying in pain i don’t need to see the trainer” and the trainer is like “i’m surprised it took you this long to come see me” when holster does go.

I think that Dex looks like this when he's uncomfortable

Hi, Honey - Part II my BELOVED

[omgdexnursey]

no thoughts just this panel

[ariesisms]

i want to talk about bitty's post college mental breakdown but we simply don't have the TIME

[ariesisms]

bitty stops having hockey and school to structure his life, doesn't go into a typical career with a schedule that is made for him and instead goes into the entertainment industry (as an INFLUENCER nonetheless, which is hilarious for someone who has "i need everyone to like me so much or ill die" disease) and starts writing a book thinking like, look! i have things to fill my days! im doing things!! but when it comes down to it these are things that require that he 1. make his own schedule to get these things done and 2. actually...stick to it...? (lets talk about how bitty will avoid deadlines until literally the last second and then stress because he doesn't have time, and how deadline-only schedules are a NIGHTMARE for adhd) and where is jack? at practice. on a roadie. bringing bitty to falcs family events where people ask him how his book is coming along (the same book that he spent 3 hours crying on the floor about the night before because it needs to be perfect at every stage or he's not writing it).

[ariesisms]

and another thing. i just think that jack comes home one too many times to bitty, looking like he hasn't slept in days, staring blankly at the wall with his laptop open on the other side of the room, and thinks "this is...not good?" i think jack pushes too hard to get bitty to like. seek some professional help. and i think that bitty does NOT take that well, actually, because he’s fine, jack, stop trying to fix him? and i think jack doesn't take THAT well, because what's the harm in seeing a therapist? is bitty ashamed to need help? jack sees a therapist, is bitty ashamed about that too? and now BOTH of their feelings are hurt

[omgcheckplease]

madison is really just

bitty: anyway here’s another boring thing about my hometown jack: incredible. wow. is this how eric richard bittle lives? is this how you came to be? tell me more. of course this is your essence bitty: that’s the grocery store jack: you mean where you get your pie materials

i’m totally ripping this off from a sherlock fic, but smh does some sort of kissing booth event with holster, ransom and jack to collect money for the team, and jack is convinced to do it because it’s a team effort and he’s the one people are going to show up most for, of course. he doesn’t really care about the whole deal of kissing strangers, so he just wants to be done with it. except that by the end of the day, someone enters his tent, doesn’t even speak up, and jack is ready for his usual peck-on-the-lips-no-big-deal kinda kiss, but when the stranger’s lips meet his, it’s unlike anything else. sparks fly. they end up making out, and making out some more, and jack hasn’t had a kiss like that in years, but the moment he reaches to uncover his eyes, the stranger has fled the booth already.

(bitty is convinced he did the dumbest thing on earth. because he’s pretty sure he’s gay, he’s pretty sure he’s always been, even though he hasn’t said it out loud yet, so just to confirm, he jumped over that small fence and went into the booth without registering, without paying, and the first kiss he’s ever gotten ended up being so much more than just a first kiss, with a guy that doesn’t even know he exists.)

the guys can’t stop chirping jack, who keeps grumpily mooning over that kiss. “bro, just go around kissing chicks until you find the right one.” - “I’m pretty sure it was a guy.” (silence) (and then, shitty makes his troupes do a whole 180 degrees) “well, then, let’s find him.”

you can imagine holster and ransom gluing posters all over the place “searching for samwell’s best kisser – smooth lips, A+ tongue work, mint listerine, please contact [email protected] to salvage our captain’s broken heart, and our season”.

because their season isn’t going that smoothly. partly due to the figure skating team, whose ice rink schedule keeps bumping into early morning hockey practices.

@parvuls​ oh my god, the cinderella thing makes me think that once word spreads on campus, every single girl who imagines herself as a future hockey wife just shows up wanting to make out with jack, while jack never lets the info out that he thinks it’s a guy. but of course, the right guy knows. 

except that the right guy doesn’t want anything to do with jack zimmermann because sure he’s hot and kisses well but he’s an asshole about rink hours, which bitty definitely did not know about this before kissing him. but bitty has a reputation of knowing like, every queer person on campus, so shitty appoints him to solve this issue, and bitty (thinking his relationship with jack would be too complicated – jack wouldn’t like it if he learns he’s the guy, they’re both still in the closet, jack will be an athlete, etc. etc.) finally relents and thinks that maybe if he finds the right date for jack, jack will forget about the kiss and be happy with another guy.

so they get closer to solve that little mystery and eventually bitty understands he’s kind of falling for jack. he’s still very unsure and he wants to test it out, to see if he still has that chemistry with jack or if it was just a one-time thing that went away as soon as they became schedule rivals. so he tells jack he might have found the guy, and they devise a plan: they do a masquerade party at the house, and bitty tells jack the guy will show up in jack’s room at midnight, but that jack must be blindfolded again for them to kiss and see if he’s the right one.

jack is a nervous mess that night because… what if this is it? what if it’s not the guy? and bitty is equally nervous because this could go all sorts of ways, but finally, he shows up in jack’s room at midnight, and when they kiss, it’s that first kiss all over again, and bitty can’t pass that opportunity. so instead, he whispers, “so is this the right one?”

and jack smiles against bitty’s lips, and doesn’t even take off his blindfold before kissing him again, because he isn’t a damn fool and throwing a whole masquerade for that one anonymous friend to suddenly show up when we’ve been searching for him for weeks? c’mon bittle.
