omg you’re not kidding, look at that beautiful fluff
If you’ve never read @omgcheckplease, throw down everything you’re holding and friggin read it.
Wordplayitout made a comment that some people in fandom might be able to use a list along these lines about now. Here are a few of my very favorite Klaine fics that meet that description. (They are not all purely fluffy, but I like them, so that should say something about the relative angst level.)
Note: There are nine fics on this list instead of ten because at the last minute I realized that the tenth didn’t actually technically contain a reconciliation. Apologies. Which I guess means that eventually I’ll have to make another list (this may be incentive for me to finally write one for my fandom favorites).
From her masterlist:
Unscripted, or, Three Times Kurt and Blaine Almost Break Up, And One Time They Decide To Stop Trying. Exactly what it says on the tin. Now comes with a sequel, When All Of New York City Misses You, now part of an expanding universe, check the tag for inevitable scattered updates, futurefic is always the death of me. The whole verse is also available for download at Klaineficspdfs, up to date =)
(Caution: This verse, especially after the first installment, quickly descends into perfect, beautiful, witty fluff, although it may not seem so at first. I promise.)
The full series of linked stories can be found here on her masterpost, but I just downloaded the full series pdf (made by sillygleekt) which you can find here.
I had a sudden and desperate desire for reunion fic yesterday, and after a bit of googling, look what I found! Some seriously AMAZING fics here. A couple were a reread, but some wonderful new discoveries too.
You’re welcome :)
(If anyone has anymore to rec, please do!)
#omgcheckplease Check, Please!: A Primer
1. The Comic. 2. The Extras. 3. The Twitter. 4. The Fanfic. I hope this primer gives you a quick way to explain to friends, family, and confused coworkers that thing you’ve been reading lately.
a list of my weirdly specific favorite tiny moments from hamilton
The transition from the Reynolds Pamphlet to Burn !!!!!
Carol is solid gold.
this is gritty superhero excellence
this is lame but I cant stop thinking about Eric Bittle ヽ(｀◇´)/
Headcanon I’m working on now: Bitty is team captain in his senior year. He has nebulous “omg what to do when I graduate???” thoughts but his plans are mainly “move in with Jack in Rhode Island, get a job”
Then scouts for NHL feeder teams start showing up to his games. And practices. And taking him out for coffee. And asking him who his agent is. Because let’s get real, someone who can start playing a sport and end up at NCAA championship level five years later? Is a pretty special athlete.
When he gets the offers Bitty is originally like, but I don’t WANT to play pro hockey! I wanna be with my boyfriend!
But
The greatest part of this would be when Bitty and Jack have games against each other, because their competitiveness would get ranked up to a million, since the loser will basically get chirped non stop by friends, teammates, family and of course each other.
And maybe Jack and Bitty start making small harmless bets. It starts with winner picks what we eat for dinner and what we watch afterwards, but then they move to stuff like if Jack wins Bitty can’t use twitter for the whole weekend, or Jack will have to appear on his next vlog post etc.
(And of course there’s the private fun stuff they also bet on but will never tell anybody about winkwink)
So it’s always small silly stuff, but they take it super seriously. And then they start using the games to settle arguments like this:
“Y’all, we need to win. You don’t understand, we have to. If we don’t Jack is taking us to the most boring vacation in history. He wants to go to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania to watch a reenactment of the battle and of the Gettysburg Address and if I have to go, you will see a grown man cry of boredom. I want to go to the beach. I deserve to go to the beach.”
“We agreed the winner will get to set the thermostat. Bitty always puts it too high and it’s annoying.”
“If we win Jack will finally admit he has been pronouncing pecan wrong! No you don’t understand, this is important, we have been arguing about this for years.”
“Bitty will stop breaking diet and I’m afraid if we don’t win this, his nutritionist will kill him.” (They don’t win this, because there is 0 chance you will get Bitty’s team to give up all the baked goods they have been getting since he joined the team.)
Also, it is absolutely impossible to get interviews afterwards with either of them, because turns out playing against each other is like the weirdest most intense form of foreplay ever.
Like they can’t see each other very often during game season, so by the end of their games they honestly couldn’t care less about anything other than making it to each others apartments, so they skedaddle with 0 shame and sometimes just go straight to the car and shower at home.
George: Jack, you have interviews…
Jack: (speed walking away) No.
George: Jack!
Jack: (pretends not to hear her) Goodbye.
And well, George figures there’s some battles you can’t win and at least she’ll get an apology pie for this.
Jack lives alone, but Bitty has roommates. However they know better than to show their faces after a game, like we are talking complete pie ban for the whole team for a month here.
Also, if you think Jack Zimmermann is scary on the ice, you have never seen his face when you interrupt marathon sex after weeks of not seeing his boyfriend.
Wait, but what happens if someone on Jack’s team takes their ‘but seriously, this is just like any other game’ talk *too far* and checks Bitty? Or someone tries to start a fight? OR IF BITTY TAKES LEAVE OF HIS SENSES AND DROPS HIS GLOVES.
I await your headcanons. *chin-hands*
WAIT. BUT IMAGINE THE BACK PATS AND HELMET TAPS AND BUTT BUMPS THEY MIGHT DO IF THEY PASSED EACH OTHER OR W/E WHEN THE CLOCK IS STOPPED FOR WHATEVER REASON WHILE THEY CHIRP EACH OTHER. Just like, OH HEY, ITS YOU! ITS ME! YOU’RE GOING DOWNNN where do you want to eat later though?
I bet you they get put on opposite teams for charity matches a lot. Skate-a-thon for a new pediatric cancer ward? Perfect time for Jack to pull a Tim Horton and just wrap his arms around Bitty while he’s in a scrum for the puck skate away with him. “Nope. No puck for you. Hugging time. Let me toss you in a snowbank.” Bitty is waving his arms and legs like an angry kitten but he can’t make Jack put him down.
For one of said charity matches Bitty teaches his entire team the Single Ladies dance. Jack lies down at centre ice and refuses to get up.
What I can imagine is someone getting a nasty check in against Bitty or or Jack one game and then when they face off against the other team Jack or Bitty returns it tenfold.
Pro hockey player and former NHLer Paul Bissonnette is taking aim at transphobia by cutting ties with a “hockey lifestyle clothing” company after it made a pretty unbelievable misstep on Twitter. According to sources, Sauce Hockey on Monday tweeted something that referred to Pittsburgh Penguin Sidney Crosby as transgender and trying to get into a locker room. Lovely.
Cont’d Outsports
This. Right. Here. Is. Why. I. LOVE. Hockey. Players. And. This. Sport.
