Pairing: Bitty/Jack
Summary: It’s the push of a well-disciplined body into exactly the right direction, a smooth kata of one, two, three, giterdone. A well executed slapshot, a triple salchow, hell, even a quarterback sneak – it’s all the same thing, in the end, all driven by the same kind of passion that gets people on their feet and screaming.
Or: a story about sports, closets and finding yourself, in the end.
Commentary: We always see so much of Jack’s past that it’s good to read something about Bitty’s teenage years and his time at home during the holidays. I thought this was a really good insight into Bitty’s life and how it tied into his relationship with Jack, and the conversation between Bitty and Jack at the end is super sweet. I can’t describe how much I adore this fic, it flows really well and the writing is excellent.
