check please, zimbits
‘CAN ANYONE HEAR ME? PLEASE, I’M STUCK HERE, PLEASE
OPEN THE DOOR!’Jack looked around frantically. A moment ago, he was
on the ice, and now he found himself in a dimly lit corridor. He was still
holding his hockey stick.‘What-‘ he mumbled.
‘OH MY GOD IS SOMEONE THERE? HELLO? ANYONE?’
There was a metallic door, a few feet in front of him.
Someone was on the other side.‘Yes, I’m-‘
‘PLEASE OPEN THE DOOR, I’VE BEEN LOCKED HERE FOR
HOURS, PLEASE-‘Without thinking, he unlocked the latch. The door
opened and a small teenager fell through, landing in his arms.The kid lifted his head and Jack caught a glimpse of
tears, blond hair, anguished expression-And he was back on the ice again.
The rest of his team had stopped practice; the coach
was skating towards him. He felt someone bump his shoulder. Kenny.‘Zimms? Was that- Where were you right now? You were
just- gone, man. Was it… you know…’Jack nodded.
‘I think my soulmate just summoned me,’ he whispered.
‘Oh. Okay.’
He didn’t see Kent’s complicated expression. He could only
remember the boy’s tears.* * *
‘There is
someone, somewhere, for you, Dicky. You can call them to you for a moment, only
a moment, and only once in your life, so you have to be careful.’‘How do I
call them to me, mama?’‘No one
can really say, honey. You just have to wish for it really, really hard. You
have to want it more than anything in the world.’

kent parson comes out by recreating this iconic scene with the entire roster of the aces as well as several bisexual celebrities and posting it to his twitter with no context. he learned saxophone specifically for it.
bad bob retweets the video with the caption ‘#same’
Once, in one of those Falconers YouTube things while they’re on the road, Jack is in the video making pancakes for the team. He makes sure to warn the rest of the guys that the pan is hot. If they think he’s acting weird, well, he’s a weird sort of guy
According to an interview he once did, his favourite animal is a panda
There’s footage of him taking a selfie with a fan and when the fan apologises for accidentally having it set to panorama, Jack says that every picture of him is a panorama. He looks very pleased with himself afterwards but no one can work out why
Shitty knows for a fact that Jack’s favourite Disney film is Mulan, which is why he’s so confused when he tells an interviewer that it’s Peter Pan. It’s strange
But Jack knows what he’s doing. It’s an investment. Because one day, after he’s come out as pansexual, someone’s going to be looking at this footage and they are finally going to notice. Years of bad pansexuality puns are going to pay off
Bob and Alicia know what he’s doing and have never been prouder
AU where Bitty ends up as the “Bachelor” on a Bachelor-esque dating reality show. He’s not sure how he gets chosen by the network or how someone talked him into it during a moment of weakness, but nonetheless, he’s stuck doing it.
The hockey team as contestants on the show. The show producers choose the unsurprising usual types of contestants that you see on these reality shows because… well, if the formula ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
So, we have:
- The Free Spirited Writer: Derek Nurse
- The One Who Gets Progressively Angrier with Each Episode: William Pointdexter
- The Shirtless Personal Trainer (Who’s Also Putting Himself Through Law School): Shitty Knight
- The Macho Bro with a Sensitive Side: Adam Birkholtz
- The Pretty Boy/Cocky One: Kent Parson
- The One Who Seems Confident Until They Cut to His “Interview” Scenes and He’s Freaking Out: Justin Oluransi
- The Smart One Who Uses Too Many Confusing Metaphors and Confuses Everyone: John Johnson
- The One Who Seems Normal At First But Then Has a “Secret” That He Comes Clean About in a Later Episode Twist: Whiskey
- The Sweet One That You Know Will Never Work In The End But Audiences Still Cried When He Left: Chris Chow
- The One Who Tries Really Hard to Stay On Even Though It’s Starting to Get Awkward: Tony Tango
Despite freaking out early on, Bitty comes to really enjoy spending time with these guys. The dates, though awkward with a camera following them around, are genuinely fun. Not only that, the contestants themselves are happily surprised when they find they also get along with each other too.
Just a small problem though.
Bitty isn’t interested in any of these guys. In fact, as the season progresses, he starts to fall for the production manager, Jack Zimmermann.
Their relationship had started out rocky, mostly because Bitty thought Jack was an insufferable grump who yelled all the time and Jack thought Bitty was another one of those shallow guys looking for their 15 minutes of fame.
They move past that. Bitty had found Jack sitting by himself and looking sad. It was a rare moment when Bitty wasn’t being followed with a camera. So, Bitty had sat with him and they ended up having a real conversation. They were both surprised by each other which goes to show that first impressions are misleading.
They fall in love.
It should be wonderful and romantic, but they have to sneak around when Bitty isn’t filming. They hide their relationship because if it gets out, Jack would get fired and Bitty would be in all sorts of trouble for violating his contract. They’ve had a couple of incidents where they’ve almost been caught, but luckily, Lardo, one of the set directors has been covering for them. She walked in on them in a closet, but because Jack is her friend, she hasn’t said anything.
Meanwhile, Bitty’s still going though all the hoops and motions of “dating” all these contestants. It’s going a little too smoothly, and the network scrambles to throw things at them in order to create more competition and “drama”. There’s the group date that ends in a disaster after Will and Derek end up getting in a heated fight. When that isn’t enough, they bring back Kent Parson who was eliminated 4 episodes again just so he can stir shit up amongst the guys.
As they near the finale, Bitty gets increasingly nervous. He’s supposed to pick one of these guys to with on vacation that the network is paying for. Jack, Bitty can tell, is getting increasingly frustrated by not being able to do anything behind the scenes and having to watch Bitty go on all these dates with other guys.
There are arguments between them. Jack is afraid he’s going to lose Bitty as soon as the show is over. Bitty isn’t sure how much longer he can keep up with the pretense.
Finally, it’s down to the final two: Shitty and Adam. They’re the two fan favourites of this season. Bitty has one final rose to give, and he chooses…
…neither of them.
Bitty’s lawyer found a loophole in the contract so Bitty is able to walk out in the end. The fans are in shock and the ratings/publicity for the show goes way up after what happens so the network isn’t too upset with what he did.
Bitty is still friends with most of the contestants from the show and he keeps in contact with them. Jack quits the reality show finds a new job. Bitty gets an offer to do a cooking show. They move in together and they lived happily ever after.
Also, like a year later, they get an invitation to Adam and Justin’s wedding. Two months after that, there’s a second invite to Will and Derek’s wedding.

We all know Alicia was a very famous model and it kinda made me think… if you hang out with someone who knows about make-up, you end up knowing about make-up. You talk to your friends about work, so they know what happened at the office.
Enter Bob. Hockey-mad Bob who meets Alicia at a party where he’s being introduced to one of her friends and who is just… floored… by this woman. It’s obvious. He’s head over heels before he even knows it – Alicia? Not so much.
I mean, sure, he’s cute and he’s got a butt that just will not quit, but he’s also clueless about the things she’s interested in. He knows nothing about clothes, designers, photographers – nothing. He wears what he’s told. Jesus – he’s got a mullet. She’s not interested.
I want Bob being very aware that Alicia is out of his league. He makes an effort. He gets his hair cut into something more fashionable – he thinks he looks a little like Tom Selleck, and suddenly he’s ‘the good looking one’ on the team. He starts to look at what famous pop stars and actors wear.
Bad Bob is learning that he’s not going to be David Bowie but maybe he can get a suit that’s a little different, right?
He learns about what’s ‘hot’ and not from his sister, his friends girlfriends and wives – he has a few well meaning 80′s disaster fashion moments, but he gets through it. He reads fashion magazines and rolls his eyes at the chirps. He tries to remember who took the photograph. He may have a notebook. Jack gets his dorky nature from somewhere.
The next time he meets Alicia he’s able to hold a decent conversation about her time in Milan. He knows who she worked with, he’s able to ask about things SHE LIKES.
She’s impressed. And after they’ve been dating a few months, she stays the night.
Only to find that Bob has converted the bedroom next to his into a walk in closet fit for a queen.
“Well, I just thought… you know…” He shrugs. “You might want to hang some of your things up if you come over.”
So when she’s standing in Jack’s new apartment and sees the state of the art kitchen, the brand new appliances…
“Who cooks, Bob?”
“Hm?”
“Who does Jack know that cooks?”
“No one.” He says, stretching out on the couch so that his arm falls over her shoulders. “I think that the Bittle kid bakes – remember the cookies?” He kisses her on the cheek because he can. God, she does love this man. “Why?”
“No reason.”

something i really like: poly-ish jackbittylardoshitty. as in. jack n bitty are together. lardo n shitty are together. the rest is a platonic-romantic mishmash that nobody bothers to decipher but lardo does, in fact, refer to them as “my three boyfriends, one gay, one bi, one straight” and shitty calls them “my respected and equal significant other who is an independent woman i owe my life and love to, my house-husband, and my sweet sexy hockey lover”
jack is… trying
So like, in line with “chirping and flirting are variations on the same idea”
Bitty came over to the Haus to bake a lot as a freshman. The Haus is full of tall people. So he is FOREVER trying to reach something put away by a mutant human/musk-ox hybrid (sorry Holster but it’s true) and often has to resort to climbing on top of the counter.
So anyway, one time he’s trying to reach something WAY UP THERE and Jack is wandering through and like, “Oh, Bittle is trying to reach the thing,” and just casually plucks it off the shelf and puts it in Bitty’s hand.
And Bitty does that thing short people sometimes do (I’m 5′1″, I know) which is spin around and exclaim indignantly, “I COULD HAVE GOT IT.”
Jack kind of looks at him and shrugs like, okay, you don’t want my help? Takes the thing back from Bitty’s hand, puts it back on the Very High Shelf, and wanders back out of the kitchen while Bitty huffs dire imprecations at his back.
So then one day after checking practice Bitty’s trying to reach something out of the top shelf of his locker, but he accidentally knocks it to the back, so he’s on his tiptoes trying to blindly fish above his head. Jack walks in and stops and looks at him. He doesn’t want to insult Bitty by getting the thing for him, but he does kind of want to tease him a little bit. So he goes over and he puts his arms around Bitty’s waist from behind and lifts him up so he can see in the top shelf. After a second of wrapping his head around this, Bitty gets what he was looking for and Jack lets him down.
Which kind of just becomes That Thing They Sometimes Do, and it’s mostly a Ha Ha Bitty’s So Bitty joke. Though sometimes Jack, um, likes lifting Bitty up a bit. During a celly he’ll hug Bitty so hard it lifts his skates off the ice and that’s just normal, right, just bros being bros. Or he’ll continue the short joke, so Bitty goes to take the remote off the top of the TV and Jack calls, “Is that too high for you, Bittle, do you need me to lift you up,” and Bitty turns around and sticks out his tongue and grabs the remote, and Jack grabs him around the waist anyway, and somehow they are wrestling good-naturedly on the floor, and Holster rescues the remote from the mayhem and turns on the TV while they do it.
Jack, bless his heart, didn’t even realize this could be a sex thing until Bitty pointed it out to him.
