A Map of The Check, Please Hometowns

[ID: a blank map of the US with state borders drawn in. Scattered across it are little colored circles with pictures of Check, Please characters in them. starting from the west coast, we have Chowder (on a teal background) over San Jose, CA and Ford (on a mint green background) over San Diego, CA. Next, we have Whiskey (bright green background) over the state of Arizona. Then, we have Lardo (olive green) over Houston, Texas. Then we have Bitty (yellow) over approximately Madison, GA, but really his dot takes up most of the top half of Georgia. Moving to the north, we have Nursey (bright blue) over New York City, Kent Parson (red) over New Hartford, NY, and Holster (gold) over Buffalo. Beside Holster but off the US is Ransom (dusky lavender) over Toronto. Over Montreal is Jack (brown background). Over about half the state of Massachusetts is Shitty (in pink). Dex (light blue) is over Portland, approximately. /end ID]

Okay so some of this is headcanon, but mooooost of it is canon. I’ve included all the North American characters whose origin we canonically know (plus one we don’t skdjfh) except Johnson because he has no Comic Face. (I’m sure someone’s done this before but like. i had fun.)

Here’s where they’re all from (on this map):

Chowder- San Jose, CA (HC, technically, but he’s a Sharks fan and from California, so I figured it fit)

Ford- San Diego, CA (canon)

Whiskey- Arizona [unspecified where] (canon)

Lardo- Houston, TX (100% HC, it has a high population of Vietnamese immigrants and I just felt like it Vibed with her.)

Bitty- Madison, GA (canon)

Nursey- New York City, NY (canon)

Kent- New Hartford, NY (HC, but we know he’s from New York State so I picked a city with a kid’s hockey team that wasn’t in the NYC area)

Holster- Buffalo, NY (canon)

Ransom- Toronto, ON, Canada (canon)

Jack- Montreal, QC, Canada (canon)

Shitty- Brookline, MA (canon)

Dex- Pownal, ME (HC, it’s near Portland where his uncle’s lobster boat is, but it’s also a small town!)

🖤 Can I have some Porthos Whump + "we're almost home."?👀

Here you go!

D'Artagnan feels the horse tremble beneath him and prays that it will hold out until they're back home.

He loves horses, always had, and his father had taught him well how to take care of them, what not to do. Today, he's probably breaking at least half of these unwritten rules, and he might just end up killing this horse with it.

The thing is, he doesn't really care. As much as he loves horses, if the choice is between the horse and the man at his back, he will always choose his brother.

His brother whose weight has been resting on his back more and more over the past however many hours since the ambush and the start of his headlong ride back. He's sure Porthos would not still be on the horse if he hadn't tied him to the saddle and his own waist. It would have been better to have him in front of him, if only so he could check that he is still breathing, but even if Porthos has only a couple of centimetres on him, they have all found that having him in front while riding is just impossible with his bulk.

D'Artagnan pushes the thought away that he doesn't know if Porthos is still breathing. He momentarily frees one hand from the reins to rest it on Porthos's, laying slack against his thigh. “Hold on,” he says, willing the words to travel through his touch if Porthos can't hear him, reaching his brother however they might, “we're almost home. Just hold on.”

Finally, finally, Paris looms before him. He has to slow down once the horse's hooves are clicking against cobblestone, the streets before him not overly busy but enough that he has to go slow and pay attention to where he's going. The horse breathes heavily, its sides heaving with relief, and he is glad that he might not have killed it but is still terrified that another life might have been lost. If only he could check his breathing …

He is barely through the garrison's gateway as he starts shouting for Aramis, and a few seconds later, Musketeers rush over to him, alerted by the urgency, and start helping him untie the rope holding Porthos in place.

And there's Aramis, pushing through the men, his sharp eyes immediately finding d'Artagnan's. “D'Artagnan?” he asks, and there is a million of questions in nothing but his name.

“Porthos,” is all d'Artagnan gets out, his voice hoarse and trembling, “please.”

Aramis just nods and turns towards Porthos who is just being lifted from the saddle and lain down on the garrison's earth with the utmost care by their other brothers. He kneels down beside him and places a hand on his neck, and d'Artagnan doesn't think he's breathing himself until Aramis pulls back his hand and lets out a sigh of relief. “He's alive.” He looks back down at Porthos, then to d'Artagnan. “What am I dealing with, here?”

“Stabbed,” d'Artagnan says, swallows, then tries again, “that one bastard, he ran him clean through. I don't … I didn't ...” The fear and worry that have kept him going all throughout the ride are finally fading, leaving him feeling faint and tired, and he's vaguely aware he is trembling. “I burned both wounds and bandaged them but I don't know if that was enough. I got him here, though.” He looks at Aramis and feels suddenly very young again. “I brought him home.”

There's a sudden presence at his back, and d'Artagnan flinches but settles as a hand comes to rest on his shoulder. “You did,” Athos says, and he sags a little bit at his voice, at the smooth, cool tone. “Thank you.”

D'Artagnan swallows and shakes his head because if he had been better, if he had been faster, Porthos wouldn't have been wounded like this, but he doesn't have the energy to protest. Instead, he watches Aramis who is now giving orders to have Porthos brought to the infirmary, calls for hot water and honey being brought up as he follows the Musketeers carrying their brother, and he is soothed knowing that Porthos is in good hands. The best.
