Season of the Witch

Zimbits | 2k | Magical Realism AU | Complete

Bitty has three major problems: First, he is in love with his best friend. Second, he is magic. Third, he has no idea how to address either of those. A not-too-serious magic AU.

Sloshed With Gold

Zimbits | 14k | NHL!Bitty and Photographer!Jack | Complete

Lardo calls in a favor. It involves Boston Pride, photography, and a certain blonde-haired NHL player that Jack can’t get out of his head.

Creation Myth

Cowritten with @montrealmadison

Zimbits | 24k | Canon Divergence | Complete

Jack Zimmermann overdoses the night before the draft and becomes the face of the Aces anyway. It goes about as well as you would expect.

Call of the Champions

Lardo/Camilla, Zimbits | 13k | 2002 Winter Olympics AU | Complete

“Couldn’t find a mini American flag. Ran into an angel in the hallway. Don’t worry about it.” She shrugs her jacket tighter around her neck. Shitty blinks. “That’s a lot. I was doing shots with the bobsled team in the bathroom.” In the middle of a medal hunt during the 2002 Winter Olympics, Lardo manages to find something else she wants just as bad as the gold.

Austin

Zimbits | 18k | Canon Divergence | Complete

Bitty: a lesson in bitterness. “Say please,” Bitty breathes, something swelling inside his chest. Jack looks dazed, drunk at the sight of Bitty above him. “I’ll do anything you ask." He fills the space between them with his offer. “If you beg.”

Since the authors/artists were revealed today: Here's one of the pieces for @omgauplease, this one for the prompt "Daemon AU"! Bitty's daemon is a bunny and Jack's a canada goose. (Inprnt ♡)

[asterlark]

i know this has been said over and over again but the storytelling parallels in check please are truly unmatched. jack's first "oh" moment when the coaches tell him "you're a better player when you're with bittle" vs. his "oh" moment at graduation when he realizes he feels better, is a better person when he's with bitty. (of course, much later when jack is proposing, he's fully come to this realization: "it's because of you that this place and this rink and the last four years of my life mean something and were the best years of my life.")

semester 1, year 1 jack is still so focused on hockey only, on winning at all costs, that he needs outside intervention to realize that the person he's been looking at as a problem, a liability, is in fact the person making him a better player. then at the end of year 2, he again needs outside intervention to realize the full scope of his feelings for bitty and that he needs to take his shot if anything is going to happen. both moments are so visually stunning and set apart from the typical panel, and represent a sort of quiet introspection, a reevaluation of everything jack thought he knew: at first thinking that he is the best player on the team and bitty is the worst, and later, thinking that he and bitty are just good friends. ngozi is truly the master of bookends

DIGGING UP JACK/KENT DRAMA WAS NOT ON MY 2023 BINGO CARD BUT HELLOOOOOOO

[fandomartdumpblog]

“The fact of the matter is - he’s not the wunderkind anymore.”

“Non, j’velix que tu viennes, Papa, je te jure. Tu sais que mon anxiété va être un problème peu importe.”

Well, I enjoyed painting Kent “Human Disaster” Parson so much that I decided to draw Jack “College Athletics is a Personality Trait” Zimmerman too.

[Man I really need to stop spending my entire weekend painting fanart for a fandom that’s nearly a decade old]

[ittybittyzimms]

To this very fuckin day every time I hear Send My Love (To Your New Lover) by Adele I ugly cry thinking about Kent Parson. It just encapsulates his relationship with Jack SO perfectly. Send help bro.

[zimbits-my-love]

he has no right to look so good

thoughts on lamilla and zimbits double dates (or maybe even include holsom on group dates)? —gothlesbianlardo

Ohhhh my gosh I thought about this for a long time. Ummm and then I went on a rant. Hope this is fun? @gothlesbianlardo

Starts out so awkward. Soooooo awkward. In my head Camilla and Jack BOTH get caught doing the walk of shame out of Lardo and Bitty’s room and they just give eachother twin we are so busted looks

THEN like a month later, Lardo and Camilla run into Jack and Bitty at Annie’s. they say hi and it’s busy and they all kind of crowd into a booth for coffee. A Swallow photog is there and takes a picture of Jack and Camilla briefly hugging and it goes VIRAL on nhl Twitter. bitty thinks it’s funny. jack is mortified.

Then they are bonded by fire. Guess who end up sitting together at games? Camilla and Jack. Rumors are swirling. It’s the perfect cover. Camilla and Jack both hate it for different reasons. And even though they have history and maybe it should be weird, it kind of.. stops being awkward? like they have a lot in common and they get along. And both care a lot about Lardo.

But Jack is still a rookie, Bitty isn’t out to his parents, Camilla is going pro on the tennis circuit and getting her MBA at the same time, and Lardo is landing contracts for art pieces with commas in places that make her head spin. This is kind of the perfect cover. So they ALL go out.

Twitter fans? Rabid. This is unavoidable. Tumblr is obsessed with them. The times Holsom appear on these group dates they’re on are like guest features on a tv show. Bitty’s Twitter presence SKYROCKETS.

Elaborate double, triple dates. Camilla is old money, Hamptons, takes them all out to the cape for a weekend everyone scores off. Falls asleep next to Lardo to the smell of the fog and the sea, and realizes she wants this all the time.

FAST FORWARD like four months and Camilla says “fuck it,” and with Lardo’s permission, hard launches it. Jack just sends her a text that says “<3” and one from Bittle that says “I hope you know I had to copy paste that for him. We’re both so happy for you.”

And then after the Kiss Heard Round The World, everyone lays low for a while, but also no one has to pretend anymore.

Their next double date is under no false pretenses, none of the awkward staring in the hallway like the first night. The double dates take a whole new meaning, and everyone is all for it.

Mostly I think they start going on insane adventures and Bitty’s blog kind of takes off with it. And also big #womeninsports moment because Camilo. Kicks. Ass. In the tennis world. And her and Bitty start a podcast about women’s college sports.

Jack, Stanley Cup Winner, is like “wow I’m a trophy husband to my boyfriend and my ex situationship. that totally tracks!” and is obsessed with helping them film and do the photography. abobe suite king in the off-season. Kent makes a guest appearance on the pod and there’s one WHOLE awkward minute in the recording booth when they’re all looking at each other with ONE man in common. Bitty sits on Jack’s lap the entire time they’re recording. Lardo pulls Camilla into a broom closet after.

i love the idea of kent throughout his early nhl years playing up his and jack’s relationship as an epic romance that will come to its final conclusion after jack graduates but jack’s out here like dude, we fucked once?
