i know it's been seven years since you wrote mechanics of poetry (and six years since i first read it) but assumpta poindexter is still a canon character to me

oh my god it's been so long since i looked at this blog I didn't even realise I had a message! Neat!

A fun fact about MoP is that it vividly altered my life by introducing me to my two best friends and is now indirectly responsible for like 90% of my life being the way it is now.

She is also canon to me <3

“this can’t be love”, Nursey/Dex, OMGCP, for @gayowulf

This is a snippet of a speedrun edition of a very long fic that lives in my head and is probably never going to get fully written the way I intended, in which Dex inherits a house from his great-aunt several years after graduation.

I can’t WRITE here, Nursey texted the group chat in extreme frustration. He’d been trying not to complain, because his parents were basically giving a free sabbatical year to work on his book while they were working overseas (again) and he didn’t want to seem ungrateful, but it’d been a week since he produced real words and he was starting to go out of his mind.

Chowder: Oh no! You can do it!!!

Bitty: Do you need inspirational baked goods? What kind of theme are you going for? I can pop a box in the mail to you tomorrow!

Jack: *link to an internet-blocking timer app*

He sighed and tossed the phone on the couch before he could find out what kind of spreadsheet solution Ransom & Holster would come up with. At least they all cared.

His phone buzzed again and he picked it up, frowning at lack of obvious new message in the chat until he realized it was a text direct from Dex. An address in Maine, nothing else.

Nurse: ???

Dex: You can’t write because your place is too empty and quiet. I have a guest room. I can guarantee it won’t be too quiet here. Obvious solution.

Nurse: Weren’t you living in Boston tho???

Dex: Long story, tl;dr now I live in Maine again.

Dex: Are you coming or not?

Nurse: Do you mean it?

He regretted that last text as soon as he sent it. After all these years, he knew full well Dex didn’t make offers like this unless he meant them. But he did also remember the last time they’d tried living in the same place. Dex’s response made it clear he knew exactly where Nursey’s thoughts had gone.

Dex: It’s not like we’d be living in the same room, and I’m definitely not putting my life on hold to host you or whatever. You can just come for the weekend and see if it helps.

Nurse: Okay.

Nursey sat on the couch staring at Dex’s final thumbs up emoji for a while, wondering what just happened.

~*~*~

(Further things I know about this fic: Dex quit his soulless corporate IT job when he inherited the house. He ends up with a bunch of random odd jobs around town: handyman on call through his uncles’ repair shop, bartender at the bar now owned by a high school friend, unofficial after-school tutor for half the neighborhood kids in his kitchen/dining room. The room Nursey is using was the guest room and then more permanent bedroom of Dex’s great-aunt’s Boston marriage partner after her health declined, and is full of her garden journals, giving him a lot of feelings about really noticing the passage of time and seasons. Nursey stays a lot longer than a weekend, and the suggested title line comes into play when he looks around and realizes that Dex doing very concrete and practical things for the people in his life is how he shows he cares.)

There are so many great OMGCP fics out there that I love to read, and rec, again and again. I decided to group some together, by theme, and share them with you.  I’ll be posting one or two themes a month. Most of the fics are Zimbits-centric.

Theme:  Horror, Thriller, Spoopy Fun

NB, In time for Halloween---mind the tags. I curate these, but it's up to you if you want to read them. Don't come @ me.

I Howl and I Whine by PorcupineGirl @porcupine-girl

Summary: While it's not particularly strange that Jack Zimmermann is in Eric Bittle's food history seminar, it's downright shocking that the incredibly hot captain of the hockey team might actually be interested in him. Even more surprising is the fact that Jack happens to be best friends with the owner of a husky that came through the animal shelter where Bitty works a few weeks ago. A husky whose name also happens to be Jack. Jack, meanwhile, has problems of his own. Chief among them: The fact that he is both the cute boy in Bitty's food seminar and the husky he cared for at the animal shelter.

Heart of Ice by flowerfan @flowerfan2

Summary: Bitty and Jack have been dating happily since Jack’s graduation. When Jack mysteriously disappears, right after winter break during Bitty’s senior year, Bitty is devastated. The media assumes he had another overdose, but Bitty doesn’t believe it. A few hints emerge, but no real answers. Bitty struggles to stay hopeful. When Jack finally resurfaces… he’s changed.

glory & gore by the_one_that_fell @alphacrone

Summary: When Johnson first invited him to partake in ritual sacrifice, Bitty laughed at him. “What’s that- y’all gonna sacrifice a keg to the hockey gods?”

Within these walls by actualkon

Summary: July 12th 2009The house sits alone in the middle of the neighborhood, run down, a ‘for sale’ sign stuck in unkempt, thick grass; the only house on fraternity row that remained vacant.

Better Than Wikipedia by BaegentWashington (onesaltydemon) @onesaltydemon

Summary: Eric Bittle knew there were several things that were special about Jack Zimmermann. He was really smart, had a great butt, and could effortlessly shift between English and French. Still, there was something he couldn’t quite put his finger on.

anything for one more hour of light by the_one_that_fell @alphacrone

Summary: Bittle was laughing just before the bus crashed.

Bromancy by Pinkerton @agrossunderstatement

Summary: Remember the time Jack said the couch growled at him? A story of magic, babies, romance, bros, and too many pies.

Poor Wayfaring Stranger by MaraMcGregor @maramcgregor

Summary: Bitty's been a vampire for 7 years. He is finally living (sort of) a stable life well away from his vampire hunting family. One night, a handsome stranger comes into his bakery in the middle of the night. He knows exactly who it is. Jack Zimmermann, of the notorious Zimmermann hunting family. And everything had been going so well.

Strange Beings by Joanne_Lupin @fightmekentparson

Summary: Catching feelings is hard enough. Catching feelings for the only person in the world who can see or talk to you? That really, really sucks.

A Blessing That Comes Nightly by MapleleafCameo @mapleleafcameo

Summary: It's the dark in the night, it's the dark in your head, when the vampires come for you.

Definitely Not A Ghost Problem by rewmariewrites @and-still-not-a-ginger

Summary: Ransom is not afraid of ghosts, because ghosts don’t exist.

Buyer Beware by MaraMcGregor @maramcgregor

Summary: Bitty is an angry/vengeful spirit in a house that Jack moves into. Bitty didn't survive that night in the closet in 7th grade. He's been haunting his old childhood home ever since. Jack moves in after being traded to the Atlanta Thrashers, completely unaware of the history of the house.

Take Me in Your Arms and Leave the Rest by omgericzimmermann (HMSLusitania) @hmslusitania

Summary: After an injury takes Jack out of his short-lived NHL career, he's left drifting. So he buys a house and decides to rebuild it. Fortunately, he's got a cute neighbour to keep him company.

Reblog and show these amazing authors some love.

Story time with rhysiana and @omgericzimmermann:

rhysiana: So I’m really laughing at today being Chowder’s b-day, because there was recently a ridic controversy at my alma mater about the administration cracking down on the annual 10/10 progressive party that moves from dorm to dorm over the course of the night. People were all “This is an outrage! A longstanding tradition being repressed!”

omgericzimmermann: fic fodder right there

rhysiana: And then other people from my year chimed in with “Guys, it was just for [this one guy]’s birthday, but he was in student govt and figured out he could get funds for basically his own party if he claimed it was a campus event. I know. I was there. I voted to approve the funds.” Which is totally a thing Shitty would do.

omgericzimmermann: …this is a fic

rhysiana: Small liberal arts colleges are fairly fictional, it’s true.

So now you see how college traditions start. Feel free to make up any Samwell annual parties you want, because they’re probably just background canon.

To my younger (American) followers:

Even if the polls are ridiculous you still have to vote Even if the experts say it’s over you still have to vote Even if the newscasters have called your state you still have to vote

Elections are decided by the people who show up on election day. All the polls in the world don’t mater if you don’t go into the booth and make a choice. All the experts can be (and frequently are) wrong if you don’t go into the booth and make a choice. News media tend to call stats at 5% of votes tallied. If your polls are still open, you can still change things.

Don’t let a strong summer showing in the media dissuade you. You still have to show up in November. It does matter. If people see their candidate winning and decide that they don’t have to show up and be heard, there is a chance the other side will rally. You have to participate. No matter what.

Eager freshmen who know a little too much about SMH’s reputation: so where’s the pie

Connor Whisk, the new captain of Samwell Men’s Hockey team, a tired gay who has to follow up two consecutive pie-baking captains, getting ready to explain that he does not know how to use the oven and remind the team that this is not actually part of his job description: Ok listen-
