#Dex checkplease

[canonicallyginger]

forgot to mention my fic. Dex never went to samwell (and also died) AU. Slowburn nurseydex (but much faster than canon). Also Dex is nonbiney by the end.

Cw for suicide mention (sort of?)

[everwitch-magiks]

I'm loving all this content about Dex being a mentor for Whiskey and I just want to contribute a general reminder that Dex voted for Whiskey as captain. Dex voted for Whiskey as captain.

can I persuade any of y'all to just take that fact and, y'know, explore? do you accept bribes? maybe some gentle coercion?

Dex would manage to make a space in the basement of a frat haus into a "five star resort"

Someone got their new captain sweater 🥰🥰

collapsing everything he once knew, chapter 19: on the ice

He notices Devy give him the thumbs when he walks past him, next to him Whiskey gives him a court nod with a gentle smile. This is it, this is what it all leads up to. He’s grown up in Maine and if he could, he would be able to dig his hands into the earth of his hometown and recall the memories that haunt him, those memories and experiences didn’t make him better.

It’s himself that did.

He’s grown up around ice hockey, he still remembers the first time he’s fallen when learning how to skate. He remembers the games he’s played in high school, thinking that this is all he’ll ever be, just a kid with anger issues from Maine, only knowing how to handle a hockey stick. Despite all of it, he’s here, it’s like a middle finger to his dad.

“Come on,” Dex says, “let’s get on the ice.”

so I know I’ve been gone for a hot minute, but ummm…when did dex get THIS fine, like a boy was always fine,,but this shit??next level

[costcofairy]

Cats naturally like Dex for his calm nonchalant behavior around them so they always crawl in his lap and Nursey—who loves cats with his whole being and wants nothing more than a cat to sit in his lap and who tries so very very hard—is constantly peeved to fuck

sneak peak of part three of ‘your skin is poetry’

Derek often wonders if he should have made a move.

There was a connection, everyone knew it.

But Derek was never brave enough, or Dex wasn’t fully there.

So they lived together.

And Dex dated some very pretty girls that Derek was proud of him for, plus that one psycho that no one spoke of.

And Derek went on his fair few dates as well.

@omgcpwinterextravaganza | december 5; saving someone from falling on ice

let your guard down (but forgot to take it off) [ao3]

i like to watch nhl players fall down because of equipment failures when im sad 

It shouldn’t’ve have been so funny.

And yet, Derek is struggling to catch his breath, the last echoes of his belly laughs fading away now that he’s gone into silent giggles. There’s something extremely gratifying about watching someone else take a spill on the ice when he’s usually the one on the ground. It’s somehow even better that it’s Dex who’s on his stomach, knees bent so his skates are up in the air, showing off the skate guards that he didn’t take off before coming onto the ice.

Dex’s confusion as to why he’s flat on the ice only makes Derek laugh harder and it’s basically all he can do to keep his balance. He wobbles dangerously when Dex gets to his knees and tries to push himself to his feet but falls onto his side when the guards don’t bite into the ice like his skate blades would. He twists so he can look at his skates, dropping his head onto the ice with a thump and a small “fuck.” He closes his eyes and would look almost peaceful lying there on the ice if it weren’t for the red blush that Derek can see on his cheeks, even from the far blue line.

Derek wipes at the tears gathered in the corners of his eyes. He’s so, so glad he got to witness Dex eating shit like that, even if he wishes someone had been around to film it so he could rewatch for the next thirty years when he gets chirped for falling. The memory will have to be enough. He takes a minute to catch his breath before pushing off and skating over to Dex, detouring to grab the stick that skidded away from Dex when he came out to join Derek to run drills before practice.

“Way to rub salt in the wound,” Dex says as Derek accidentally snows him. He lifts his head to glare but it’s halfhearted at best, losing some of it’s heat in the redness of Dex’s face. Derek shrugs and pokes him with the blade of his stick, swinging his own over his shoulder. Dex takes the blade so Derek pulls him into a sitting position and drags him on his ass over to the boards.

“You gonna tell the whole team about this?” Dex asks. He lifts himself into the doorway of the home bench, settling on the raised edge with his legs sprawled out in front of him.

Derek gives him his best duh look. “I’m gonna tell everyone about this.”

“Yeah,” Dex sighs, unhooking his skate guards.

He stands and actually looks vaguely surprised when doesn’t he fall again, like his falling had nothing to do with the guards tucked under his arm now and everything to do with karma or something. Derek can’t help but snort out another chuckle, slightly disappointed. He flails when Dex throws a guard at his chest, losing his balance and just barely catching himself with Dex’s stick, his own clattering to the ice.

“I’m still telling everyone,” he says, when he straightens up and sees Dex’s smirk, throwing the guard back at his face. Dex catches the guard to throw it on the bench behind him.

“I don’t tell everyone every time you fall,” Dex grumbles. He holds out a hand for Derek to pass him his stick.

“Lies, that’s what half the frog group chat is,” Derek replies. Dex snorts, looking stupidly proud of himself as he gets his stick under Derek’s to flick it up to him. It clatters back to the ice when Derek misses the catch. Dex skates forward and bends to pick up the stick to pass right to Derek.

“Only ‘cause I like talking about you so much,” Dex says, punctuating the sentence with a kiss to Derek’s nose.

“Gross.” Derek shoves Dex away, grinning widely when Dex tries to muscle right back into his personal bubble. He must misjudge the distance though because he slams hard into Derek’s chest. Derek puts his hands out, grabbing a fistful of Dex’s jersey to steady him. His stick falls again.

“Yo, I’m telling everyone I saved you from falling on your ass too,” Derek says. He feels the snort that Dex lets against his cheek as he leans in.

Derek happily returns the kiss though.

Do you have any NurseyDex headcannons?

THIS HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY ASK BOX FOR WEEKS BECAUSE I HAD SO MANY HEADCANONS I HAD TO NARROW THEM DOWN LMAO. seriously I have so many but here are a few of my favorites!

· Honestly like… they’re both romantic af. I always see so much “oh Nursey is the romantic and Dex couldn’t care less,” but….

· Dex is the textbook definition of the acts of service love language. He’s also super perceptive, if he’s quiet he’s probably making the active decision to LISTEN to whoever is talking and not just hear what they’re saying. The man would build his partner a front porch as soon as he had the time, energy, and funds because a few months ago they mentioned how nice it would be to sit on the front porch with him with a glass of lemonade on a late spring day (and he does do this for Nursey eventually and also probably builds a reading/writing nook for him when they own a house).

· Nursey has a decent hodgepodge of several love languages, mainly words of affirmation/quality time/occasionally gifts. He’s the type to write down quotes that made him think of his partner and post them around the house, and if he sees something in a store that makes him think of his partner/sees something he knows his partner wants/would like he’ll get it for them. He’s also a big listener, and he likes spending time with the people he loves even if they’re not really doing anything? Just hanging out and doing their own thing in the same room is enough for him a lot of the time

· Both are perceptive and this means that both of them notice typing patterns and how they correlate to the other’s mood. Nursey says “chill!!!!” – a good day. “yo chill” – average day. “Chill.” – pissed the fuck off, maybe crying he’s so angry? Days like this, Dex will go out of his way to Annie’s and get Nursey’s feel-good drink (chai rose latte with soy milk because regular milk makes it too sweet). If Dex ever actually sends ellipses in a message, that means he’s bottling up so much he’ll explode later if he doesn’t convey what he’s feeling properly so Nursey will throw a soft blanket in the dryer so that he’ll have something warm to cuddle into when he gets home, and Dex will lean against Nursey with the blanket on his shoulders until he’s ready to talk.

· They’ll also do that sickeningly sweet thing where in the dead of winter when the other is in the shower they’ll put a towel in the dryer so that it’s warm when they get out.

· CUDDLY DEX!

· The man is a fucking koala.

· Seriously, if he’s sleeping alone he’s got his entire body wrapped around a pillow, even if it’s not person sized. Arms and legs wrapped completely around like it’s a tree trunk. He’s spring loaded and tense even when sleeping so he’s just, wrapped around this pillow like he’ll fall 30 feet if he lets go and the habit continues when he starts sharing a bed with Nursey.

· The first time they shared a bed Nursey woke up with both arms and both legs asleep and completely numb from how tight Dex was holding him and he just didn’t want to wake him up because even though his body is tense his face looks so peaceful? Also like, he can’t feel his limbs so, it’s a bit hard to move.

· It was like ten minutes before he even tried to move, and then he’s still in physical pain because like…. Sleeping limbs, y’all, if you don’t move them for long enough it’s like “I need to go to the ER levels of pain.” You thought Nursey was clumsy? Imagine the man when he cannot physically feel his legs. This was a learning experience for both of them.

· They spend the next few nights figuring out good sleeping positions that don’t cut off air or blood flow.

· The winners: Dex as little spoon, wrapped around a pillow the same way he would be if he was alone but with Nursey in a similar position holding Dex; Nursey flat on his back, Dex on his stomach slightly to the side with one leg thrown over Nursey and his arms kind of circling his head like a halo, head buried into the crook of Nursey’s neck.

· They both have a love of crime shows, especially Law and Order, and ESPECIALLY Special Victims Unit.

· They can only watch it when they’re both in average everyday moods though, because if they’re in super good moods it will bring them down and with bad moods… SVU is not the best Law and Order series for bad mood days (the author speaks from experience). They learn to spot each other’s mannerisms and know when it is Not an SVU Day.

· They can never watch just one episode, it’s a problem. Like one’ll sit down and be like “Hey you wanna watch just like, one episode to wind down?” and the other will agree and then one episode turns into MINIMUM four and they’re both ready to die for Olivia Benson.

· This happens EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. And they NEVER learn.

· They’re also the people that quote along with the opening monologue word for word and will do stupid ass dance moves to the theme song. The first time Dex danced to it, Nursey laughed so hard beer came out of his nose.

I love these dorks.
