Summary
Jack’s fingers brush through Bitty’s hair and they’re quiet for a while until Jack says, “I really do wanna marry you some day, Bits.”
Bitty blinks, his eyes feeling a little hot and a little wet because at no point in his life—not when he was younger, not when he left Georgia, not when he met Captain Jack Zimmermann—did he ever think he’d get something like this. “When you ask, I’m going to say yes.”

Summary
“I think I…” he bites his bottom lip and looks at Maple and the leftover blueberry pie on the counter and the quilt thrown over the couch and Lardo’s painting on the wall and says, “I think I’m going to marry him someday.”

Summary
“I’m sorry,” Georgia says, her voice soft. “We would like to thank you for all your contributions to the Falconers. You will be missed in Providence. We wish you all the best with the Houston Aeros, and know that you will have a great career there. They’ll need you in Houston for tomorrow night’s game.”
(It's just hockey. Nothing personal.)

Summary
“Don’t you dare, you had better not, I’ll call your dad and the press, I’ll tell ‘em—”
“I think ‘Jack Zimmermann helps out teammate with checking drills’ would be a good headline, actually. I give you my blessing.”
“Not when you’re threatening to pour water all over me you big ole—”
“‘Big ole’ what, exactly?”

Summary
When Jack is six years old he begins to predict hat tricks with startling accuracy. At first it's cute, then it's eerie, then it's impressive. Oddly enough, Bob and Alicia don’t ever think to ask him how he does it. It’s just another part of who Jack is, another personality trait they love and cherish.

Summary
It wasn’t that Jack was an unreasonable person, of course. He understood how things were supposed to work, that there was an order to them, and that deviations from that order led to problems that ranged from “Top NHL Draft Prospect Drops Out of Hockey, Drops in to Rehab” to “this might be a little hard to explain.” It was just that Eric Bittle made him forget that order.

Summary
Eric Bittle is navigating his last year of obtaining his degree, after dealing with dropping out of Brown, coming out to unsupportive parents, working multiple jobs, and applying for internships. Luckily, he's got the money he won from his appearance on Chopped to cushion the transition.
Jack Zimmermann is navigating his second year as captain of the Providence Falconers and first year as an out and proud queer man. With his friends and connecting with his artistic side, Jack hopes one day he'll be able to stop panicking over the "out" part and move on to the "proud". And maybe figure out who the guy he keeps running into is.

Prompt: “Jack’s mini-me rookie”
Sure, Gabriel’s about to meet a two-time Stanley Cup winner who’s also the NHL’s very first out queer player, whose posters he had all over his bedroom walls as a teenager. And also his husband the best-selling cookbook author and YouTube celebrity, who was the first out queer captain of an NCAA men’s hockey team and led his team to a championship. But no need to be intimidated, right?

Summary
A week ago you said to me
"Do you believe I'll never be too far"
If you're lost, just look for me
You'll find me in the region of the summer stars
The fact that we can sit right here and say goodbye
Means we've already won
The necessity for apologies between you and me
Baby, there is none

Summary
Jack can recall every single one of his own mistakes -- can recite them in perfect detail, or describe the dates on which they occurred. He knows that he did not make those mistakes blindly, or senselessly.
But it wasn’t until graduation day, and all the days afterward, that Jack was able to recall the many moments that made him fall in love with Bittle. The moments that proved to him, quite emphatically, that love is not always blind or senseless -- it is just painfully unobservant.Bookmarked by unconventionalturtle
