Quick update. ✨

Hi, hello. 👋

So. I've been working on something a tiny bit different—a m/m novel. (Yes, novel. Not a comic. I know.) It's a completely separate story from Check, Please!, but it's got the same humor, pining, and feel-good vibes that make #omgcp what it is.

It’s about John Rich, a 28-year-old cover artist for The New York Review, who’s tasked with drawing the gorgeous but seemingly vapid action star, Tyler Hughes. Problem is, John can’t seem to draw this dude. Then of course, shenanigans.

I've posted the first five chapters on AO3, and I've been updating monthlyish? (Remember how I never had an update schedule for Check, Please! ya...) If you're into funny, feel-good, lighthearted gay romance, do give it a read. Absolutely, no pressure. Just wanted to share what I'm working on that wasn't superheroes or semi-autobio YA.

kent parson has a small playing card tattooed on the inside of his wrist - the ace of spades if we’re being specific - that he got just after he signed. it’s faded, the lines are messy and there’s a whole load of drop out but it’s far better than the shaky stick and poke ‘j’ that was there before, the one that made him think of warm hands and blown pupils and the his name whispered over and over again in the dark.

jack zimmermann got his ‘k’ removed the moment he left rehab. he still has a small scar on his wrist. he tries not to look at it.

10 years into his NHL career, PR finally convinces Jack to make a Twitter and absolutely no one was prepared for how good he’d be at it (Bitty takes all the credit)

Based off of these tweets by Tony Hawk which gave me BIG Jack Zimmermann vibes…so this was born-

Dex: Let me get this straight- Nursey: It’s Pride month. You’re not allowed to say “let me get this straight.” Chowder: You have to say “just so we’re queer…”

1. What Were You Gonna Say Before Deflecting Eric Richard Bittle

2. bitty assuming he won't see jack all summer and potentially for longer. jack assuming bitty knew he'd drive up before the season started. there's something here about bitty's abandonment issues and how he assumes jack won't wanna make time to see him but also how jack is so giving with his love (and also so bad at communicating his feelings) that upon hearing this he's just like what? of course i'll come see you. of course of course of course i will.

eric "who could love me" bittle versus jack "i love him on purpose" zimmermann and jack "i am unworthy" zimmermann versus eric "i love him on purpose" bittle

kent parson would be absolutely insufferable if he had a tumblr today

I know we already have tons of great fic about Jack’s 4th of July visit to Madison, but now that we know what bitty’s childhood room actually looks like, I’m gonna need someone to write one where they finally get alone in bitty’s room…only to have Jack get totally distracted by bitty’s trophy shelf and ask tons of highly detailed questions

after ten minutes bitty’s like ‘ok, sweetheart, I’m so glad you’re taking an interest, but can we make out now?’

but Jack is like ‘wait, go over the scoring system with me again? because you got second place in this one, and I feel like we need to examine the possibility of bias in the judges’

Had a dream last night that my town was putting on a parade for Jack Zimmermann because he was a real person and in town. Basically the whole town was there.

what if… my teeth fell out after a highstick… and our hands brushed while you were helping me pick them up…

Ollie and Wicky's love language being fist bumps and neck touches is actually really important to me.

just to remind everyone that ngozi promised canon nurseydex if the tv show gets made. by the way.
