Artist AU by faiasakuraÂ
pairing: Larissa “Lardo” Duan/Kent “Parse” Parson
Ace of Hearts by RoyGoodeRoyGreat
Art by pwoops
pairing: Kent “Parse” Parson/Jeff “Swoops” Troy (T)
The Aces own Vegas. Their names may not be on the deed, but it’s their money flowing through casinos, getting tucked into lingerie, and passing between furtive hands in unlit alleys. Kent Parson knows his way around a conference room, around a poker table, and around a gun, but after eight years in Vegas, he still doesn’t know what to say to the man who may just hold his heart.

Art by shadowfaerieammy
pairing: Adam “Holster” Birkholtz / Justin “Ransom” Oluransi (G)
Holster fights his blooming panic as breath steals from his lungs, the deep-set ache of stems and petals rooted in his chest spiking sharply. The pain and the flowers have been his constant companions for so long now he hardly ever notices, as omnipresent as the feelings that cause them, as they writhe and force their way up his throat. He notices now and chokes it all back.

Deeper Shades of Blue by emilycorentine
Art by khashanakalashtar
pairing: April/March (T)
April knew, when she came to Samwell, that it would be tough to make the switch, her magic rooted to her home-town for 18 years. The disconnect itches at her like a rash… and that’s before she develops a huge crush on her volleyball partner.
Do You Believe in Destiny? by b1ttle
Art by bajillionkittens
pairing: Eric “Bitty” Bittle/Jack Zimmerman (T)
Fresh out of college, Eric was hired to bring the Falconers’ new mascot, Destiny, to life. His new job, though difficult at times, was extremely rewarding; the fans and even the slightly intimidating roster of players loved the new addition to the franchise… All except for one, and Eric was determined to change his mind.
Fever Dream by lyrically_lost
Art by happyzimm
pairing: Eric “Bitty” Bittle & Jack Zimmermann (G)
When Captain Jack Zimmermann woke up from cryosleep, he expected his crew to be there with him as they prepared for landing on the planet Plymouth. He didn’t expect to wake up to his ship, the Samwell, completely devoid of life. He didn’t expect to deal with an emergency that wrecked part of the ship. And he certainly didn’t expect the ship’s android, who bears a striking resemblance to the boyfriend he left behind.
The Gardens Of Our Voices by pieandpucks
Art by shadowfaerieammy
pairing: Eric “Bitty” Bittle/Jack Zimmermann (G)
In a society where you sprout flowers from your lungs starting when you meet your soulmate, most people try to form the bond quickly, so that the Wilt may begin and the flowers may fade. Bitty would love to, if he knew who his soulmate was. And Jack, well, he just needs some time.
Good Idea, Pie by giraffeter
Art by bajillionkittens
pairing: Eric “Bitty” Bittle/Jack Zimmermann (T)
Forty-five minutes later, he’s pulling a steaming, fragrant pie out of the oven. The filling is bubbling but not too soupy; the crust is a gorgeous golden-brown, delicately fluted around the edges; and across the top, in perfectly crisp cut-out letters, it bears the proud message:
S E N D N U D E S.
(Worried his long-distance relationship with Jack might start to get stale, Bitty turns to the medium he knows best: baked goods.)
If Only They Could Sea Me Now by loveyoutoobits
Art by randomnoteforfuturereference
pairing: Chris “Chowder” Chow/Caitlin Farmer (T)
Chris Chow hates the sport of golf, unlike most other hockey players. With the somewhat suspicious help from Dex, he winds up signing up for surf lessons that a girl he knocked off a surfboard recommended to him. Who knew that she’d be his instructor? Well, she knew, and she hoped he’d take her class.
An AU where Caitlin Farmer doesn’t go to Samwell and instead part times as a surf instructor in San Francisco, where Chris Chow lives during the offseason. Dex holds a hand in all shenanigans.
I Have Come In From the Ocean by maramcgregor
Art by pieandpucks
pairing: Eric “Bitty” Bittle/Jack Zimmermann (G)
Bitty has one right of passage to complete to become an adult in the eyes of his bob of selkies. He must go on land and pass as human. He must learn how to blend in and put all of his human lessons to good use. Everything seems to be going well. Except he wasn’t supposed to fall in love. He has a hard choice ahead of him. Does he give up the person he has been drawn to? Or does he give up ever going back to the ocean?
Inevitability by bookwyrmling
Art by faiasakura
pairing: Kent “Parse” Parson/Jack Zimmermann (T)

Joystuck On You by shadowfaerieammy
Art by SexyDexyNurse
pairing: Anthony “Tango” Tangredi/Jonathan “Hops” Hopper (G)
Jonathan “Hops” Hopper has been invited to the International E-Sports Tournament in Europe and he’s not going to let anything distract him from winning, not even the incredibly attractive Italian he meets on the first day. If only his foolish heart and meddlesome friends had gotten the memo.Â
Just Do It by SexyDexyNurse
Art by pwoops
pairing: Kent “Parse” Parson/Jeff “Swoops” Troy (T)
Kent Parson and Jeff Troy are well known in the hockey community for their close friendship and intense sponsorship rivalry, so when Jeff Troy is spotted at a local breakfast hot spot wearing the wrong sponsor’s clothes, fans on Twitter waste no time speculating about it. Confirming or denying various rumors should be an easy decision for two closeted professional athletes, but Jeff thinks that maybe it’s time to have a conversation he’s been putting off. Should Kent and Jeff come out to the public? If so, how should they do it?
Just Seeking Attention by maramcgregor
Art by shadowfaerieammy
pairing: Derek “Nursey” Nurse & William “Dex” Poindexter (G)
Dex would have been unassuming if it wasn’t for being born green and the random magical outbursts every time he got upset. All he wanted was to learn at the best university in Oz. And maybe, if he was lucky, he might get to meet the Wizard some day. Nursey was perfectly popular in every way. He knew how to dress, how to smile, how to be chill. Everyone wanted to be him, everyone wanted to be around him. Except, what he really wanted was to study sorcery under the headmistress herself, Madame Morrible. He knew he could be a force of good in Oz, if he could just get a chance.
Let Me Call You Sweetheart by iboughtaplant
Art by jckzimmermanns
pairing: Jack Zimmermann/Eric “Bitty” Bittle (G)
When Eric left Georgia to go to Samwell University, he thought he would just go through the motions, make some friends, and be happy he left his Southern hometown. He didn’t expect to find a mysterious suitcase in a thrift store in small-town Massachusetts that would take him on a goose chase to find its owner and find love in the process. Turns out he didn’t need to go that far.
make my heart a double bed by flybittybooty
Art by novva
pairing: Jack Zimmermann/Eric “Bitty” Bittle (T)
Bitty arrives two weeks early to a room with so much CAUTION! tape over the door that he can’t even see inside, a captain whose face somehow conveys pure irritation and sincere apology at the same time, and a very stoned and very skinny Shitty. Or: the one where Bitty and Jack have to room together.Â
Meet Me Out in the Moonlight by maramcgregor
Art by mcbangle
pairing: Eric “Bitty” Bittle/Kent “Parse” Parson (T)
Bitty is back on campus and enjoying the full moon like any proper witch should when he stumbles upon a cat in the woods outside of Samwell. What an odd coincidence that Kent Parson has mysteriously vanished from T.D. Garden’s parking lot and is now reported missing.

His teammates go looking for him, with an offer for an amazing bounty that they won’t be able to pass up.

Connor’s best friend and the person he is sworn to protect has gone missing. With the blessing of Tony’s sisters, he sets off to find him and bring him home. A quest that will lead him to the mean streets of New York City and leave him to the mercy of the devils. Denice just wrapped on a play and wants nothing more than to crawl into her bed and sleep for a week. When a mysterious stranger shows up insisting that he needs her Great Great Nana’s sewing box to save his friend, she’s skeptical. After all, she’s been a stage manager long enough to know the only real magic is stage magic.
All the world’s a stage, but what happens if people miss their cues?
