OMGCP Plot bunny:
I'd love to read, if they exist, a zimbits fic where Jack and Bitty have been together for say, 20 years, and the kind of richness and depth (and hurts and healing, arguments and triumphs) that kind of long and loving relationship have.
(only somewhat inspired by the 20th anniversary of me and Spouse going on our first date, coming up this summer.)
Any other Check Please fans got any fic recs? Or is this one of those "no dammit, I have to write it myself" moments ?

Summary: When Eric Bittle was 18 he made out with 20-year-old hockey player, Jack Zimmermann, at an Olympic after-party. 25 years later, an unexpected friend request from Jack throws Eric for a loop. What’s a guy to do?
Guess I posted the first chapter of that fic. Oh, what’s that? An explicit rating? Why yes, it is.
Bits of Heaven Commission
I commissioned another Zimbits artwork from @ibakesouffles and this time it was for my fic Bits of Heaven. Dynah is amazing!
Summary: At age 44, NHL legend, Jack Zimmermann, knows three things for sure: retirement is boring, love is probably not in the cards for him, and his aging father makes a pretty good roommate. When the bakery "Bits of Heaven" opens up down the street, Jack finds that a happily ever after is possible—even late in the game.
This commission is from a scene where Jack and Bitty discuss their parents venturing out into the dating world again...
Eric passed the cookie over to Jack then sighed.
“I shouldn’t mind. Of course, I shouldn't! Lord, it’s been four years. She deserves to go out and have fun—”
“Still, I imagine it’s a little bit tough,” Jack added and returned the cookie. “I can’t even picture papa going out on a date.”
“But he wouldn’t, would he? You said it yourself, he’s not ready, right? Meanwhile, I guess mama… well, she is. She’s finally moved on.”
“It’s hard sometimes remembering that our parents were actual people with their own lives and dreams before they were our parents.”
Eric nodded. “Yep.”
The two sat quietly for a moment until Eric finally spoke again.
“The kicker? She’s dating and I’m not.”
Jack huffed out a small laugh. “You and I can form a club then, I guess?”
“Okay, enough wallowing. We’re both good lookin’ fellas; we should be out there in the dating world, right?”
“Sure?”
“We’re good catches, come on. Let’s put ourselves out there. We can be each other’s cheerleader and support group. What do you say? Two friends conquering the dating world! If my mama can date, then damn it, so can we.”
