The Hypothetical Us NurseyDex, 3.3k words Getting Together, First Kiss

“Can I kiss you?”

Dex asks the question out of nowhere, and with so little inflection that it takes a full minute for Nursey to understand the individual words, let alone what exactly they mean when spoken in that order.

Rain beats down across the Samwell campus, cooling what was once a hot, August day. Nursey and Dex are the first ones back from summer break, side by side on the front porch to watch the storm, and the Haus behind them is as empty as when they left it. A different kind of empty, though, now that Bitty’s gone.

Nursey’s a little scared they won’t be able to ever properly fill it up again.

He’s a little scared of a lot of things going into their senior year, if he’s honest. And now here’s the most unexpected of curveballs to cap off his first day back.

Can I kiss you?

Nursey finally registers the words, and his breath catches in his suddenly frozen lungs. His heart hiccups.

He’s never actually been on the receiving end of that question before.

Nobody ever talks about Johnson but I wanna talk about him so bad

Ngozi made like such a complex character and just like rarely ever talks about him! But I wanna know more about our 4th wall breaking, weirdly philosophical goalie!! I have so many questions!!!

I wanna know how he feels about his situation! Like does he love it, hate it, or just view it as a natural part of his life that he can’t run away from??

How does he feel about the main characters? Like does he mentally view them as his best bros because he knows everything that has happened or will ever happen to them? Or does he resent them because they all have the spotlight and he’ll never be the main character?

Has he known since he was born that he was just a side character in a story surrounding someone that doesn’t even exist yet? OR does he recognize that his backstory never really happened and he was only truly “born” when Bitty came to Samwell?! But even then, did he always know or did he have to meet Bitty and learn that?

Did he feel the end of the comic coming??? Did he try to stop it or did he just realize that he was powerless and let it end?? Does the fact that the comic is done mean that he’s dead or frozen in time???? I NEED ANSWERS.

#omgcp #omgcheckplease #check please! #Johnson #Oop secret johnson stan alert #I just think he’s really interesting and there’s a lot to think abt #I need like a whole spinoff abt him where you still never get to see his face #also I love when ppl include him in their fanfics #but I love it even more when they make him aware that he’s in a fanwork and nothing is canon #he is nothing and yet he’s everything #there might be a part 2 to this rant bcus it’s late and I have many things 2 say that I can’t remember rn #there also might be some extra content that I’m missing but whatevs

Well, hello there, honey! Fancy meeting you here!

The weather is (finally) warming up in the Samwell area and we're extremely pleased to announce that Madison & More, a new Check, Please! prompt fest, is now happening!!!

Here are some important details:

☀️The overall theme is Summertime, which could include Madison-based works (timely, since we figure Madison may be on people's minds now that the comic is appearing in mailboxes around the world now!), however prompts and works can be related to any characters or ships doing anything summery (hence the 'More' part of the fest name)!

☀️Prompting will open on AO3 beginning Monday, May 22nd at noon EDT. More on prompting guidelines will be posted here closer to that date!

☀️Prompts will be open for two weeks (until Monday, June 5th) at which point prompts may be claimed.

☀️All types of fanworks are welcome as prompt fills: written fics, podfics, filk/vids, any type of art or handmade fanwork, etc!

☀️Finished works will be due Friday, August 18th at midnight EDT so you'll have pretty much all summer to write, pod, draw, create!!

☀️Works will begin posting the following Monday, August 21st for everyone to enjoy as summer comes to a close.

We had so much fun bringing you @omgauplease in the spring, we just couldn't wait to do it all over again! We hope you will join us for Madison & More!!!

We could not be more excited to open the curtain on Day 1 for the AU, Please! fest with these incredible works!

Subtext & Symmetry - Rated T - 80,918 words

Featuring: Derek "Nursey" Nurse/William "Dex" Poindexter, Eric "Bitty" Bittle/Jack Zimmermann, Larissa "Lardo" Duan/Shitty Knight, Chris "Chowder" Chow/Caitlin Farmer, Adam "Holster" Birkholtz/Justin "Ransom" Oluransi

Summary: What is it like to open a book and find your soulmate within? Dex is about to find out.

University student Dex works part-time for a local bookstore, receiving shipments and restocking the shelves and such. Someone leaves a handwritten journal behind during an open mic poetry night, and the bookstore manager asks Dex to please check (!) if there’s any information in it that could lead to its owner. Dex starts paging through it, and then reading it, and brings it home. As he keeps on reading, he slowly falls in love with the person who wrote all of the words. A person who hasn’t left enough clues in the journal to help identify who they are: A receipt for coffee? A feather? Part of a business card? A photograph or two, taped at the corners… A whole list of introspective questions and answers? It’s been months, but no one has come back to the bookstore to claim the missing journal.

Curious about a book I’ve just started reading…

I’ve just started reading “Ill Equipped” by AJ Lange, and I’m getting VERY big Check Please vibes - and I’m still in chapter 1.

Wondering if anyone else has read it?

It feels very classic CP so far: main character Cam (Canadian) plays for an NHL team (Manchester Storm), goes to a club after a game in Vegas and hooks up with Elliot, who is from the south but is currently at college in Massachusetts, and he plays on their hockey team.

They wake up the morning after the hookup to discover they’d decided to get married during the night.

And that’s all so far…

EDIT: I’m gonna update this as I go as more similarities pop up…

Elliot is called “Chick” by his college hockey team because he’s the smallest

Cam is known as “The Prince”

Elliot is currently having a conversation with a pair of his teammates: “one tall and blonde, one dark-skinned and perhaps too flirty” (ransom and holster?)

Elliot cooks for his teammates

There’s also a Kent-style character, Jesse, Cam’s ex who also plays hockey and lives in Vegas

Ok so I’ve read a LOT of CP fic, and I swear I’ve already read this over on AO3.

The only CP fic that I’m aware of being published was “Like Real People Do” (pretty sure that’s its name…), so it’s quite possible this is a reworked CP fic…

Friday Prime

"What's happening?" Holster asks. "Friday," Justin smiles back over his shoulder and bops his head to the tune. "Bro, it's Saturday. We had a game and a haus party last night."

Friday, February 19th just can't give it a rest.

Not Too Late (To Pick up the Pieces)

Summary: A series of vignettes about Dex's life on the autism spectrum.

Notes: eventual NurseyDex, friendship fic, focus on self-discovery and acceptance.

"I get my hair cut once a month." The admission leaves Dex's mouth before he has time to think twice, and the regret is instant when both Nursey and Shitty gasp dramatically at it. He knows they're teasing in the 'good way', but it still makes his stomach twist like every reminder that he does things in ways no one else seems to do.

"There's no way your hair grows fast enough to warrant a trim every month, brah." 

Nursey's not totally wrong, but Dex has learned through years of experience that he can't go more than 36 days between haircuts before his hair grows just long enough to tickle his ears and neck constantly. The sensation is so overwhelming to him even as he grew up that the summer he sprained his ankle in junior high he'd ended up taking his father's shaver and buzzing his entire head when he couldn't walk the five blocks to the barber.

But Dex isn't about to explain that to half the hockey team who's just settling into breakfast. "It grows enough," he says instead, earning an eye roll from Nursey. "I just prefer it, why do I need to wait til it reaches some arbitrary length when I could just put it on my schedule every month instead?"

Shitty sighs, reaching over and running a hand lightly through Dex's hair. Years of practice is all that stops him from flinching away from the touch, but he does give Shitty an annoyed glare in reply. "Dex, my crimson compadre, don't you think you're denying yourself what could be some gorgeous locks? What's the longest you ever had it, bro?" 

Dex debates on telling the truth because he knows it'll just spur them on but he's not a big fan of lying over little things. "I had it to my shoulders when I was really little," Nursey and Shitty both start to exclaim but he cuts them off. "It's the in-between period, that's what really bothers me. If I could wake up one day and my hair is shoulder length again maybe I'd keep it but I'm not gonna put myself through months of annoying and awkward hairstyles to get there."

There's a murmur of agreements and dissents, and Dex is ready to let the conversation die and never bring up his hair habits again when Holster and Ransom sit down next to him, the blond and his breakfast including an ungodly amount of hardboiled eggs between him and Ransom. "What are we talking about?" Holster asks before shoving an entire egg into his mouth much to the disgust of his two seatmates.

"Haircuts and if Dex should let it grow and become the next Jessica Rabbit." Nursey's smirk only widens at Dex's quickly pinking cheeks, dodging the jam packet that's tossed at his head. "What about you Rans, ever thinking about growing out your fro?" Read more on AO3!

Madison & More Bingo 🏖🏕🏝

Here are some of my fave (so far) fics and art from the @madisonandmore summer prompt challenge!

Well, the start of September makes it feel like summer is fading. But don't worry, fearless reader! These summery fanfics will make you feel the sun on your face, the sand under your feet, and the scent of fresh-cut grass on the breeze!

Unnameable Truth (M) @thefiveboxingwizards | vacation, less than 5000 words, one-shot

I liked that this was a less sunny/happy/vacation-y story about repression and self-discovery. The summer's not happy and carefree for everyone. But there is hope at the end of this one.

Wasteland Baby (M) @checkdeezpucks | AU, one-shot

This surprised me! Despite the premise sounding a bit incongruous with Check Please, this was a great read. Mad Max Tater/Parse was a longshot for me but you proved me wrong, op. Would definitely not be mad if we got another chapter or two of this 👀

Hot-lanta (G) @justlookfrightened | Zimbits, vacation, one-shot

I keep thinking about this one, and Bitty/Jack's meet-cute and Bitty rollerblading. And quiches. And Tater being wingman!

suddenly this summer it's clear (T) @dessertwaffles | favourite ship, a work that made me laugh, one-shot

I actually snorted out loud while reading this standing out on the sidewalk in a crowd of people while waiting for the streetcar. I have no shame. It's funny and cute, read it!

like an ice cream cone (T) @wrathofthestag | SHITTY KNIGHT!!, food or baking, one-shot

Shitty's backstory is important to me (!!!) and this was great. Discussion question: Is the origin of Shitty's porn-stache tied to the memory of a moustachioed ice cream vendor he idolizes from his youth? You tell me. It was hard to see tiny Shitty going through family problems but his au pair seems like the coolest!

amphibious creatures (T) HowOldAreWe | fave ship, mermaids, frogs 🐸 , multi-chapter

I don't generally go for mermaid AUs but this was juuuust lovely! The frogs are wonderful here, and I really liked the setup and follow-through. And I'm not going to say any more than that Chowder makes a great appearance here :)

Making My Head Spin (E) @justlookfrightened | summer camp, zimbits, multi-chapter

Turns out I like fics where Bitty makes a go of it for the NHL! Loved seeing Jack and Bitty letting down their guard and risking being hurt in this one. Super sweet and a little spicy at the end :) Nothing better than that.

Heard The Mermaids Singing (M) @checkdeezpucks | rarepair, mermaids, one-shot

This was another work that wasn't sun-drenched and happy. I loved to see the gritty, almost gothic setting; loved to see some CP femmeslash. Loved to see the teeth and the texture here. Short and... piquant.

The Way Way North (T) by @mcbangle | zimbits, SHITTY KNIGHT!!, vacation, the beach, work that made me smile, frogs, multi-chapter

I keep thinking about this one. Listen, Shitty Knight is... essential. He is the GLUE that holds together CP Year One for me, okay? I know that this fic is primarily about Bitty and his parents' relationship, and his crush on Jack, and that is all done deftly and wonderfully. But Shitty is the standout for me here. (Also I now need to see the movie this is based on.)

Eelgrass (T) by @perhapsajacket | fave ship, the beach, vacation, multi-chapter (pending)

Just a nice AU where Dex is ho-humming through his vacation until he chances upon the cute local bookshop owner (enter Nursey) who has fallen into a tidepool and needs a hand. What could be more adorable than that? I liked seeing some of Dex's family and backstory here. And I would live to see more 👀

Cowabunga (G) @zimbits-my-love | art, surfing, the beach

This is super cute art and I loved the colour scheme. I can so imagine Bitty and Jack surfing together on vacation!

This was a fun summer challenge, thanks to all the organizers! I will be updating my own work, Summer Gothic, soon with a new chapter. (Sorry, I write slow. 🐌)

Something Suitably Extreme NurseyDex, 1.3k Chowder POV, Getting Together

“Why is this here,” Dex says, completely flat and unamused, so that it comes out, not like a question, but like the start of a lengthy scolding before a fine.

Chowder glances up at the offending object, and then quickly back down at his homework. He shrugs a shoulder.

Dex remains unamused. “Christmas was over a week ago.”

“And yet its traditions live on.”

“Chris,” he says, warning.

“William,” Chowder says right back, attempting to mimic him, but breaking into a snorted laugh at the end that he tries to cover with one hand while the other keeps writing calculus equations at the kitchen table.

Dex sighs, long suffering and with his entire body.

Which is perfect, because it means he doesn’t move from his current location.

“Yo, C, have you seen my--” Nursey stops short in the doorway between the Haus living room and kitchen. “Oh, chill,” he interrupts himself, eyes trained up at the mistletoe above him, just as, directly to his left, Dex puts his head in his hands with a groan.

“That’s why it’s there,” Chowder tells Dex with a nod.

“I will murder every person on this team,” Dex responds.

Guess what! I'm participating in Fandom Trumps Hate this year! I will write a custom, bespoke fanfic for someone who donates money to a progressive cause.

There are five FTH auction offerings in the Ted Lassos fandom this year, which you can see at this link.

My listing is here, which includes info about bidding and my hard 'no's. AND! I'm offering to write for Ted Lasso, Check Please!, or the Murderbot Diaries.

The auction ends 8:00PM EST, 9 March 2024, which is just a few days away, so check it out if you're interested!

But Jess, I hear you say, hasn't it been a minute since you updated The Year of The Crush or posted anything new?

To that I say, I'm flattered that you're paying so much attention to my AO3. 💖 And, in about two months I'll be done with my dissertation and have some brain space again -- around the same time FTH writing starts. It's practically kismet!

So check it out, let me know if you have any questions (here or on discord - I'm rootingfordorks there too), and definitely check out the rest of the auction. It's for a bunch of good causes!
