Summary
“No,” Dex says, not looking up from his homework, the moment that Nursey bursts through the door of the basement bungalow. The man has at least finally learned to knock first, though he never actually waits for Dex to answer.
“I didn’t even say anything yet,” Nursey pouts.
Dex keeps his eyes fixed firmly on the textbook on his desk, refusing to glance back over his shoulder and see whatever stupid expression Nursey is probably making at him. Nursey has a full arsenal of expressions at his disposal that all seem tailormade to chip away at Dex’s steady resolve. And it’s been getting harder and harder over the years not to let anyone see that, especially Nursey.
“You didn’t have to,” Dex says. “I could hear you psyching yourself up on your way down the stairs.”

Once or twice, every so often, when the timing has been terrible. When a freak storm rolls in on the weekend of Jack’s 30th birthday, trapping them together in Jack’s beach house and leaving their friends stuck back in Boston, the timing might finally be right.

Summary
It’s been five months since Dex has seen Nursey in person, the longest they’ve been apart since graduating Samwell three-and-a-half years ago. They’ve stayed in touch – texting on a regular basis, virtually watching movies together every other week, and Frog FaceTime calls at least once a month – but they haven’t been in the same room since the summer. He’d deny it if asked, but he’s had a countdown app going on his phone ever since he invited Nursey to spend the weekend in Maine.
Or, Nursey and Dex spend a winter weekend at a lakeside cabin in Maine.

Summary
Inside the fridge was a plate of food, covered carefully with plastic wrap and a little note on top. Jack's heart leapt into his throat, grabbing the note. The neat writing sent a flood of warmth through Jack, reading it carefully.
'You need to buy groceries, can't just live on smoothies and power bars! I made too much tonight and this is on your meal plan so I figured you could eat it. Let myself in with the spare you gave me, hope that's okay. Take care of yourself. - B'

Summary
Eric Bittle, of Bitty's Bakery, is very excited to have been chosen as a contestant for the Food Network Challenge. He's even more excited to find out that he's making a cake for the NHL new-Cup winners, the Falconers.
Jack Zimmerman, of the Falconers, doesn't know anything about cake, and will be the first to tell you that he feels wholly unqualified to judge a cake-making competition. At least Alexei is there to help ease things a little. Honestly, all he's really expecting is to be very awkward on camera for the entire segment, and to eat a lot of cake that's not really in his diet plan.
That's how it starts.

Summary
"Jack!" Eric bounces on his toes and smacks at Jack's arms, startling him. "Hire me for the summer!"
Jack squints at him. "What?"
"Let me be your nanny for the first couple months! I'll have to go home for a couple weeks to make my parents happy, but you said your parents'll be helping out, so I can schedule it when it works for them to be there. I know you'll have to hire someone new when the school year starts, but I think you'll be a lot happier havin' someone you know around at first instead of some stranger. Newborns are such a handful to begin with, but I know how to deal with them, I swear."
When Camilla gets pregnant from a one-time hookup at the start of Jack's senior year, he decides to keep the baby.
This changes the course of Bitty's life.

Summary
For college junior Quinn Cooper, "home" is a subjective term. In its strictest sense, home, for him, is his grandparents' house in Michigan, where he's lived under their guardianship for years. But to maintain that roof over his head, Quinn has to lie— about nearly everything in his college life. When those lies come undone at the point he least expects it, all he has left is his boyfriend— whose love feels closer to home than anything Quinn has ever known.

Now he's being traded to the Falconers, which means that he and Jack need to have a conversation. Because they've done a lot more than meet since then.

This was a tumblr post a while back, but after a few requests to post it on ao3 I have been convinced.
This is the au where Eric Bittle is a genius reporter with top-notch credentials and Jack is the professional hockey player Bitty sticks up for when people ask invasive questions that have nothing to do with hockey.

Summary
When skin-to-skin contact reveals the depth of feeling between two people and the potential that exists between them, people will generally react in one of two ways.
Some will wear their hearts openly, colors patterning their skin like an open book. Others will close themselves off, let only very few people leave a mark on their skin and, by extension, their lives.
You’d think it would be easy to figure out where on this spectrum Jack Zimmermann and Eric Bittle fall.
You might be surprised.Series
