fic: you and your (perfect) girls

you and your perfect girls M 3.1k Jack/Bitty, Jack/Kent 1/?

every child, a wanted child

a/n: so many years ago @camilliar was like "here's some money, I don't care what you write" (I was raising money for a thing) and I was like "cool!" and then struggled to write a single fucking thing for many years. and then I kept going on hikes, and this story kept coming up and eventually I stopped fighting it. it's an unfinished, unbeta'd WIP that I'm trying to let come, instead of gritting my teeth about it, and unfortunately, I already love it. so y'know, thrilled if you read it, understand if you don't.

p.s. i'm trying to balance adding relevant tags with my hatred of tropes-first summaries, but I'm down to chat if someone's a bit squeamish about where things are headed but wanna keep reading.

Jack slander: wears a black suit to the Met Gala

Jack truth: allows Bitty complete creative control over his costume and shows up in something absolutely WILD and when asked by the press why he chose such a "daring outfit," he's just like "euh, my husband liked it?"

#gleefully ripping celebs to shreds over their outfit choices #and my friend was like 'oh yeah jack would totally show up in a black suit lmfao #like I THINK THE FUCK NOT. #grounds for divorce in bitty's book #omgcp #omg check please #met gala #eric bittle #jack zimmermann #I speak

you’re sixteen-years-old, moseying through your local bookstore when you come across it.

you’re not usually into nonfiction, especially not memoirs, but the man on the cover is familiar. laughing over his shoulder with his eyes closed, relaxed in a turquoise button-up and jeans, standing with his back to the camera at a counter cluttered with leafy vegetables and mixing bowls.

from seeds to supper, the title reads, and his name is eric bittle-zimmermann.

you deliberate for a bit, picking it up and reading the blurb, the reviews printed on the back sleeve, the first page. the very first words of the book are hey, y’all! and your friend walks over at that point, and they see him and say—“oh, i used to watch some of his videos.”

so you buy it, because your friend said you should, and later that night you’re already deep into the stories of peach cobbler recipes and learning how to differentiate between living and surviving when they send you the link to the guy’s old youtube channel. it hasn’t been active for a few years, but that doesn’t matter because oh my god are there so many videos. years of videos, almost a decade’s worth, starting all the way back in the early 2010s and you get sucked into them all, laughing at the funny ones and tearing up at the emotional ones, watching as the guy slowly grows up from high school to college and beyond.

you switch between reading the memoir and watching the videos over the next few weeks. you see his video on introducing his boyfriend and you read the chapter on maple-crusted apple pie and how learning to love is a lot like learning to lattice a pie, slow and patient and sometimes messy.

you see his cooking challenge video featuring all of his friends from college and you read the chapter on homemade bagel bites and how family doesn’t have to be a four-course meal you’ve had reservations for all your life. sometimes, family is just frozen bagel bites and sriracha sauce crowded around an uneven table.

you see his two-part wedding vlog posted in 2019, nearly 10 years ago, and you read his chapter on red velvet cake and how the brain can get confused, something to do with all the nerve endings getting tangled up, because when love reaches the same heights fear does, you end up fainting into your then-boyfriend’s arms.

then, you see his final video on the channel, a farewell to his subscribers and a glimpse as to what’s next. it’s short and simple, just his husband and him sitting on a couch together, a toddler between them. and you read the last chapter of the book on chicken tenders and how a seed in the garden never knows it’ll grow into a supper worth loving. it just knows it’ll grow into something, and that the growing takes time.

(a few years later, when you’re twenty and in college, you’re downtown with some friends and come across it. you still aren’t into nonfiction that much, but that one memoir always stuck with you, sitting on your shelf back in your dorm. and this one, with the guy’s back to the camera, tall and steadfast, standing in the middle of an ice rink, an emboldened number one across the back of his jersey. the name is familiar.

melting ice, the title reads, and his name is jack bittle-zimmermann.

you pick it up.)

#omgcp #omgcheckplease #zimbits #my writing #yeah i like to think they’d have matching memoirs #bitty’s is released a year after he ends his youtube channel and right before he gets picked up by the food network #and jack’s is released a year after he retires

perks of writing older zimbits: strong nonverbal communication, lots of inside jokes, getting to work through jack’s retirement and bitty’s career success, really REALLY tender, peak ride-or-die energy

pitfalls of writing older zimbits: fellas is it weird that jack’s inner monologue still defaults to “bitty” when bitty is a 44-year-old father of three who hasn’t played organized hockey in years

#to be clear this is not a downside at all i think he wears bitty with pride around their friends for the rest of his life #and I think they love it and still use it privately even when Bitty switches to ‘Eric’ professionally #i don’t think jack ever forgets that bitty’s name is eric but i DO think he has created so many pet names for bitty #that by the time they’re both getting into their fifties he has to literally stop and think while filling out paperwork #‘bud what is your fucking name eh?’ #i’ve been calling you some diminutive form of ‘rabbit’ for 25 years #bitty thinks this is objectively hilarious #but is also like ‘sweetie. *sweetie.* c’mon now.’ #omgcp #mine

i choose to believe lucy calls lockwood by his surname even after they’re old and married and then she refers to him as anthony like ONCE and everyone, including their children, are like WHOMST THE FUCK IS ANTHONY

#ok to rb #lockwood & co. #locklyle #she calls him anthony when she’s PISSED #it’s just like how i choose to believe jack doesn’t call bitty eric once they’re married #he calls him bitty to his dying day #and nobody ever knows who eric is

my favorite headcanon: the only season in jack's whole entire career where he isn't 110% focused on getting to and winning the cup is the one leading up to their wedding. bitty and he did plan around the playoffs, and are getting married later in the summer, but still - for the first time ever, some part of jack thinks it won't be so bad if the falcs get eliminated and he has more time to participate in the wedding preparations with bitty.

so of course, that is exactly the season the falcs win the cup again. bitty can't decide if he's more proud/overjoyed or angry about it.

#omgcp #omgcheckplease #zimbits #bitty: honey I know it's game 4/7 and everything hangs in the balance #but my mother AND your dad called me SIX TIMES today and I think I'm about to commit a crime. call me back #jack (weeks later to his barely sane fiancé): bud. I'm really sorry. but we were winning? and then. well. now I can give you another ring? #haha. uh. bits? maybe put the pie knife down? #headcanons #jack x bitty #text

do the men of smh give a shit about professional women’s sports. be honest with yourselves

#i…don’t think they do #maybe pay lip service but idk #bitty respects female players bc he played w them and he also came from figure skating #but i don’t think he would know/understand how hard it is to go pro in women’s sports bc of that #bc like. figure skating doesn't have separate leagues or w/e and he didn’t know enough abt hockey to care u know #if anyone does it’s shitty and there’s actually no evidence this is just my own dreaming #thee fic abt samwell women’s hockey that shows jack’s awkward interactions w celeste abt their diff options for going pro
