Summary
Connor watches closely as Tango scrolls through the pictures on his phone, that faint, familiar furrow to his brow that pushes him closer to ‘curious’ rather than ‘confused.’ Seeing it now makes something twist in Connor’s chest, makes him want to shout at him until it’s gone, until he’s back to normal—
“We look happy,” Tango says abruptly. “Ford and me—we look—I look—I look so gone on her, wow.”
“You are gone on her,” Connor says curtly, fighting the urge to grit his teeth. “You’re head over heels for her.” You idiot, he tacks on in the privacy of his own mind.
Maybe if he says it enough times, he can get through Tango’s thick-skulled, amnesiac head and get him back to the way he’s supposed to be.
Tango just frowns. “If you say so, man.”
--
Or, the one where Whiskey already has enough problems hiding his feelings for his best friend’s girl, he doesn’t need said best friend losing his memory on top of that.

Summary
Despite how it may look from an outsider’s perspective, it’s not as if Bitty planned to fake-date his actual crush in order to help said crush avoid making things awkward with his ex, who he may or may not still have feelings for.
It just…sort of happened.
(…though to be fair to Kent, Bitty is kind of the one who started it.)

Summary
It’s embarrassing to say, but it takes until the fifth time Bitty has a sex dream about Kent to admit that maybe he has a problem.

Summary
Jack pauses at his doorstop, key in hand, nonplussed as he takes in the small army of people hauling boxes and furniture into the once-empty house.
“Swoops, if you drop that box of plates, I’m fucking murdering you!” a voice calls out in cheerful warning. “That dining set has been in Ransom’s family for over twenty years!”
“What the hell, bro, plates do not last that fucking long!” a tall figure balancing a precarious stack of boxes yells back.
--
Or, the one where Jack is a solitary spellbook shopkeeper, whose quiet life gains a lot more color when Kent Parson and Justin Oluransi, warlock partners deeply in love, move into the house across the street.

Summary
If you had told Eric even two hours ago that he was going to end his night on a rooftop, drinking champagne and Skyping Kent Parson’s cat, he would have laughed in your face. Then again, if you had told him a few days ago that he was going to win the gold medal, he wouldn’t have believed you either.

arguably my favorite q-era jackparse fic in the history of ever, and strong contender for favorite summerfrost fic (blasphemy, i know, BUT SERIOUSLY). great characterization, great symbolism, great atmosphere, teenage boys being teenage boys--what more can you ask for? oh, right--enough humor to make you cry and UST you could cut with a knife. <3

“You should go see a trainer about your shoulder,” Jack says, voice low, approaching Parse’s side at the bar.
Parse’s head snaps up. “What are—well, hello to you, too. Jesus Christ, Jack.”Or, Parse gets injured during the All-Star Game, and Jack tries to make him go see a trainer. Things escalate. To... massages?

i have written an essay analyzing this fic. seriously. it's my favorite of jacksbits's works, and it's up there with Austen's Persuasion when i need something to make me cry, in a good way. also, yes, it is gifted to me, no, that doesn't make me biased toward it at allllllllll. :)
