#Pimms Week

[zimmboniandbitty]

"Just trying to figure out what comes next?"

"You regretting retirement?" Jack asked as he ran his fingers up and down Kent's spine.

Kent laughed. "No way," he said.

I realized I didn’t link this last fic from Pimms Week.

Here you go!!!

You Will Rot (pimms, parscraps, G)

Title: You Will Rot Ships: Jack/Kent, Kent/Scraps Rating: General Words: ~1500 Summary: [Day 2: Spite] Kent prepares a special little spell for his shitty, shitty father.“Your lies are bared / Your soul is fraught / And like this apple / You will rot.” @pimmsweek  CW: reference to shitty parent (no actual flashbacks or descriptions of abuse)

“I hate him.”

“I know.”

“I wish he would just fuckin die already.”

Scraps squeezed his hand. “I know you do, Parse.”

“It would just make life so much better for, like, so many people. You know?”

“I know.” Kent frowned at the text from his father--another divorce to add to the pile, another mess for Kent to clean up.

When would it end?

Kent shook his head, let out a yawn, and adjusted the blanket around his waist. "So, you two wanna fill us in on what happened last night?"

“Besides you trying to act out your third favorite Katy Perry song?” Swoops asked.

"Nothing bad," Rhetty said with a shrug. "We just basically got to see first hand how cute and gross you two are."

"Oh no," Kent said with his eyes wide.

[zimmboniandbitty]

"Do you have stories about every plant here?" He felt bad that he hadn't asked before, but he didn't think there would be a system to Kent’s plants.

Kent shrugged a nonchalant shrug. ”I mostly buy them on someone's birthday. Or when something good happens." He bit his bottom lip. "Been buying a lot recently."

[zimmboniandbitty]

Kent was plotting something.

Now, what that something was, Jack had no clue. But, from the way Kent had been acting over the last week, his safest bet was to just try and prepare himself for whatever Kent decided to throw his way.

"But she said she placed it closer to you because you're older. And because I deserve to be pampered."

"Is that what she said?" Jack said.

"Yes," Kent said. "Verbatim."

Jack looked over when they pulled up to a red light. "So," he said. "Since I'm actually younger than you, does that mean every time we go out that I deserve to be pampered?"

[zimmboniandbitty]

"Kenny. This isn't even a real award."

"It is to me, Zimms," Kent said. "I was thisclose to beating Sid's streak of five years in a row. Now we're just tied. And I have to start all over.” He ended with a pout.

"My condolences."

After an Injury (pimms, G)

Title: After an Injury Ships: Jack/Kent Rating: General Words: ~1000 Summary: [Day 1: Hospital] Jack flies across the country to take care of his injured partner. @pimmsweek

A bad check, they had said. An accident. The guy who did it felt terrible, said he was friends with Parse and would never do serious damage on purpose. Parse was on his way to the hospital with a definite broken bone and possible concussion.

Jack put his phone back in his pocket and tried to breathe. One of the media interns waved at him as they walked down the hallway.

He needed to find a more private spot.

"Jack," Alicia said, taking a step forward. "Honey. What year is it?"

"2009."

"Oh my god," she said softly.

"What?"

"Jack," Bob said slowly. "It's... it's 2018.

“What the fuck,” Kent muttered to himself.

He really wasn’t snooping—he just wanted to order some lunch and Adam’s computer was open on the coffee table. Kent wasn’t planning to look at whatever tab was open, but his eye caught the words Kent Parson at the top of the page and then he couldn’t look away.

Top Ten Kent Parson/Jack Zimmermann AUs That You Have to Read by @captainholtzy

10: Illuminated (Lord Stanley Tentacles AU) E | 16,846 | WIP Jack never knew what really happened to NHL rookies. As the Stanley Cup transforms into a tentacled monster and starts talking to him telepathically, Kent is there to guide him through the...procedure.

9: Say My Name (Soulmate AU) M | 79,243 | WIP Jack hated his words. “Zimmermann? Like Bad Bob?” tattooed along his thigh since his twelfth birthday. And now here he was, first day in the Q, and some dumbass wannabe was saying them to him. Perfect.

Long-Distance Bathing (pimms, G)

Title: Long-Distance Bathing Ships: Jack/Kent Rating: General Words: ~1600 Content Warnings: they love each other soooo muuuuuch A/N: [Day 2: Long Distance] Honestly, this is just pure, unadulterated fluff. Check out the rest of Pimms Week here: @pimmsweek :D

“Hey, cariño. Do you want to share a bath?”

Jack hummed. “Yeah, okay. Which bomb should I use?”

“Twilight. It’s the kinda pink-purple one. It’s supposed to be relaxing.” Kent grabbed his own bath bomb from the basket under his sink and dropped it in the tub that he had already filled. “You got it?”

“Yeah.”

The sound of running water came from Jack’s end. Kent put his phone on speaker and set it on a stool next to the bath before sliding into the warm, lavender-scented water.

Jack’s water shut off a moment later and Kent heard him step in and slide down, letting out a quiet groan.

“Better?” Kent asked.

“Yeah. Thanks, Kenny.”

Playing for the Same Team (pimms & pimbits, T)

Title: Playing for the Same Team Ships: Jack/Kent, Jack/Kent/Bitty Rating: Teen Words: ~1200 Content Warnings: boys being fluffily in love <3 A/N: [Day 1: Functional Exes] It’s time for Pimms Week! Yaaaay! Check it out here: @pimmsweek 

“So you two dated back in the day, is that right?”

Kent tilted his head, his smirk prominent. “That’s right, yeah. We were both still in the closet at the time, but, you know--” he laughed “--we were young, so we weren’t very careful. There are definitely pictures out there that make it pretty clear how close we were.”

The interviewer leaned forward with a friendly smile. “And you’re still close today, aren’t you?”

“Oh, definitely, yeah. Still best friends. And it’s a lot easier now that we play for the same team.”

“I’ll bet.” They both laughed. “So would you call yourselves functional exes?”

Kent grinned. “Something like that, yeah. Maybe extremely functional exes. I mean, you’ve seen us on the ice. Not to brag or anything, but we’re pretty good.”

“Oh yeah. Pretty good.” They both laughed again.

Bitty placed his hands on his hips the moment Kent walked through the door. “Extremely functional exes? Really?”

Kent laughed and toed off his shoes. “Aw, come on, Bits. You know you loved it.”
