don’t you look charming (here in the eye of a hurricane)

Setting: Canon AU

Summary:

In 2009, Jack Zimmermann doesn't just walk away from his future, he packs a bag and runs.

Comments: Oh goodness this fic is such a great mix of angst and hope. Seeing both Bitty and Jack in such bad places in their lives made me feel for them, but when they happen to stumble across each other and start to support each other and their relationship evolves... I just :’))))))) The back and forth between Jack in the present and the flashbacks to him leaving and what made him make that choice made for a great read as well. And, honestly, it’s such an interesting take on what could have happened that I could easily read 100k words set in this AU.

salt ask meme!! for check please, could you do 5, 6, 19, and 26?

Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you?*

....... lol i just dont care about jb anymore .. not hateful or anything im happy they’re gay and happy 2gether im just not excited and just like. “ok . so where’s ransom”

Has fandom ever made you enjoy a pairing you previously hated?*

first off idk if this has ever happened In my Life . but i guess jackparse lol ? but some people are .. yikes ..

What is the one thing you hate most about your fandom?

one time i heard someone i know say the words “z*mbits smut” out loud In Public in conversation with someone else while i was nearby and i’ve never hated myself more. jk it’s literally 90% of discourse , a lot of characterization trends (esp infantilizing bitty and chowder,, Big Yikes) , very little focus on ensemble recently which is All I Care About ... “one thing” haha um

Most shippable character?

it’s either jack or ransom To bh   which reminds me please let them go on dates where they act like the middle aged men they are in their hearts. Let Them Golf

Summary:

Sometimes acceptance is a process, one that takes work. Bitty wishes he didn’t have to understand that.

Comments: Oh man, this fic. It’s angsty in all the right ways to make you hurt for Bitty as he comes out to his parents, but there’s still a layer of hope through out the fic (and thankfully a happy ending). It also has supportive!Jack which was fantastic, and honestly, the entire fic left me in a puddle of emotions.
