w his age, if dex lives coastal he’s not 2 likely 2 have tht Good Ol Mainer accent n if he lives rural but kinda urban he’s not likely 2 have it either, so i propose dex who lives in an old mill town where the mill’s been shut down or smth cos that’s usually where u find the old guys who gripe all the time n have The Accent n it rubs off on the younger people around there
so thts how u get dex who says fuckin shit like “poindextah” n “larisser” (cos u jus...... take the er sound n replace it w the ah/uh sound n vice versa) n fuckin. ayuh
on that note tho w the likelihood tht dex doesn’t even HAVE an accent
“hey dex say lobster” “lobster” “no w the maine accent” “i don’t have a maine accent” “but ur from maine” “yea fuckin oxford county maine not penobscot”

Flyers Defenseman Justin Oluransi will play against Adam Birkholtz of the Pittsburgh Penguins, for the first time since the two were college D-partners.
first love, late spring by lehtonen
“Right.” Ransom still looks serious, but there’s a sinister glint in his eye that Holster gloomily recognises as contemplation. “What’s in it for us?”
Holster whips his head round to stare at him so fast his neck twinges in three different places. “Nothing is in it for us,” he hisses sotto voce, “or did you not hear the part where we’d be dating?”

Everyone talks to Shitty, including his Hausmates.

Don’t you know you stop the room? by wwwinteriscoming
“I’m not mad, because you like Tater. I’m just.. Jealous. Because I’m strong, too. Hell, I could pick up Parse one handed, too, definitely if he came after Chowder.. And, like, I get that I’m not.. I’m not a fabulous NHL player and whatnot, but like.. If you crush on Gabe Landeskog of all people, why not crush on your very own, watered down, easily accessible Adam Birkholtz?”
Just bros being bros 🍨 by blue_eyed and growlery
Rans and Holster have a busy semester, so they start planning their bro-time. But its not like they’re dating, right?
To The Depth and Breadth and Height by peppermintlegs
Ransom crawls up onto the top bunk to study instead of sitting on the floor or at the desk. He doesn’t know what to say? And since when doesn’t he know what to say to his best friend? Ransom realizes he’s been missing Holster so much, between biology and captaining and March and med school apps. He realizes that Holster’s gotta be missing him too, right? What kind of shitfest of a friend ignores his best bro for other shit that’ll happen whether he’s in it 100% or not?
Tailspinners by rhysiana
In which Holster runs a literacy non-profit, Ransom is a pediatrician new to town, and Bitty is the Youth Services librarian who brings them together.
someone as good for me as you by ninjee
“So tell me,” Justin’s mother says, all business, “is your boy going to propose?”
“What, Jack?” Justin says, and doesn’t really think much of it, because his mother eats up the details of Jack and Bitty and JackandBitty like Holster eats up rom-coms.
His mother sighs, and he can practically hear her rolling her eyes. “No, baby, I meant Adam.”

All I Want for Hanukkah 🍨 by captaintinymite (augopher)
When his and Holster’s son complains to Ransom about their Mensch on a Bench, Malachi, well he just has to explain where they got him and the reason he’s so important to Holster.
New Living Arrangements by remyllian_fire
It’s not that Holster doesn’t know how to live alone after graduation, but something is definitely missing.

It's okay that you don't like nurseydex, but all your post about how you don't like it shows up in the ship tags because you write it as is in your posts and they really doesn't belong there. :/
