frog tweet redraws!!!

(ID in alt and under cut, tweets under cut)

ID: 1. Nursey, wearing a gray peacoat, and Dex, wearing a brown canvas jacket and a backpack, are walking side by side when two samwell students, one a white girl with a brown ponytail and red sweater and the other a brown boy in a black hoodie, rush up to Nursey surrounded by hearts. The girl asks, "Is that you on the back of the fall schedule?" The boy adds, "We like, need to know!" Nursey grins at them, flattered, and presses a hand to his cheek as he replies "Oh? Yeah, that's me." Dex scowls and rolls his eyes so hard it looks painful, sighing, "Oh god."

2a. Nursey, wearing a yellow puff vest over a long sleeve purple shirt, sitting next to Dex, who is wearing a blue button down over a tee shirt. Nursey grins and nudged Dex with his elbow, asking, "Guess how many cards I got today, Poindexter." Dex, mouth full of pie and another bite poised on his fork, sighs heavily and glares away into the distance, replying after a long pause, "Like 20." 2b. Repeat. Nursey pulls up his hands, one holding out five fingers and the other holding up three, and looks down at them as if checking his count. He says, "Eight. One was from my mom." Dex startles and hunches up, trying to stifle a loud snort of laughter. A chunk of pie flies out of his mouth.

3a. Nursey and Chowder standing side by side in the kitchen, Nursey holding a bowl of filling and Chowder chopping something on the counter offscreen. He is not looking at his hands, but off to the right, where text indicates a Falconers game is playing. Dex is in the background, holding a fresh pie with oven mitts, and calls out, "Hey Chow, pay attention! 3b. Repeat. Chowder says "Huh?" and looks down to his hands just as the knife slips and sends a spurt of blood upward into frame. Dex and Nursey startle, eyes bugging out in shock. Nursey goes visibly gray and drops the bowl he was holding. 3c. Repeat. Nursey slips offscreen completely, fainting. Dex smirks at him and lets out a little "heh" laugh. Chowder looks down at him in concern, pressing a washcloth to his bloody finger. 3d. Later, Nursey sitting on the gross Haus couch with a glass of water, Dex standing next to him with his arms crossed. Dex smirks down at him and teases, "You fainted a little there, huh?" Nursey looks up at him, stern but clearly embarrassed, and says "Chill, that was a lot of blood." Dex pushes, "Boy, you were pale!" Nursey replies blankly, "...Poindexter."

4. Screenshot of a series of tweets by Eric Bittle. a. Nursey: Guess how many cards I got today, Poindexter? Dex: [a long sigh] Dex: like 20. Nursey: Eight. One was from my mom. b. Ah, Dex tried to hide that laugh but there's pie everywhere. c. 15 minutes ago. Chowder: I was paying attention to the Falconers game and I think I cut my finger? Dex: I think Nursey just fainted. Dex: Heh. d. Dex: You fainted a little there, huh? Nursey: Chill that was a lot of blood. Dex: Boy, you were pale! Nursey: ...Poindexter. e. -Nursey Fans- Girl: Is that you on the back of the fall schedule? Boy: We like NEED to know. Nursey: Oh? Yeah that's me. Dex: Oh GOD. /end ID

CONGRATS ON HITTING 500!!! Sooooooo deserved frfrfr Here's to 20k MORE fic prompt: -3 AM -Basement bungalow -Chris ''Chowder'' Chow -Can be M or E, dealer's choice :-)

HI ATLAS obviously i had to write polyfrogs for your prompt so pls enjoy this lil senior year momente 💜💜💜

read the rest of the ficlets here

🏒🏒🏒🏒

3:00am, haus basement

It’s late.

It’s so late it’s on the bubble of being early, actually. Chowder should be sleeping—all three of them should be sleeping—graduation is tomorrow. He should be deep in a REM cycle, blissfully unaware of the creaking of the Haus, or the occasionally banging of the hot water heater. He should be dreaming, with the soft snores of Dex on one side and the endearing nose whistle of Nursey on the other. 

Should be. 

Instead, the bungalow is filled with the sounds of rustling bedsheets, of straining mattress springs. The quiet of late spring night is broken up with stifled moans, with whispered pleas, with gasping breaths of pleasure. 

Chowder trades long, heated kisses with Dex sprawled haphazardly across his chest. His hips writhe, straining to buck up into Nursey’s mouth. It’s overwhelming—in a good way, in the best way—to be between them like this, to be so utterly vulnerable and yet completely safe in their hands. He never wants to be anywhere else, would happily live in this moment forever, but—

Dex nips at the hinge of his jaw and Chowder’s thoughts scatter with his whine. All he wants is more: more pressure, more contact, more lips and limbs and tongues and just—more. His orgasm has been ebbing and flowing for a while, completely at Nursey’s whim. Chowder’s more than ready to come. 

“I think,” Nursey starts, getting the words out between kitten licks to the head of Chowder’s cock, “that he’s enjoying himself, Dexy.”

Chowder can almost hear the fond eye roll in Dex’s voice when he pulls away from Chowder’s mouth. “Get him off so we can sleep already, Nurse. He’s been waiting long enough.”

Thank fucking god. 

“Aye aye, captain,” Nursey says before swallowing Chowder to the hilt. Dex’s muttered why are you the way that you are is half-lost in  Chowder’s shout, consciousness narrowing to the tight, wet heat of Nursey’s mouth and the feeling of Dex’s fingers gripping his hair. 

“Please—Nursey. Derek, ‘m close—”

Dex stops whatever smart remark Nursey would have given by placing a hand on the back of his head, keeping him in place, sucking Chowder’s cock. “Stay focused, babe. No more teasing tonight.”

Nursey’s choked off assent is enough stimulation to get Chowder right to the edge of orgasm, but it’s Dex’s low, gravelly words—crooned directly in his ear—that push him off the cliff. 

“You look so beautiful; come for us, Chris.”

Chowder does, and it feels like making a save at the final buzzer, like breaking the surface after diving just a hair too long, like a wave crashing on the shore. 

He’s sort of out of it after that; the combined late hour and powerful orgasm is a potent sleeping agent. He blinks and Dex is wiping his stomach with a warm cloth. Blinks again and Nursey is untangling the bedding from Chowder’s ankles. Blinks a third time and the room is quiet and dark, and his partners are octopused around him. 

It's late. 

It’s so late it’s definitely wrapped around to being early by now. Chowder closes his eyes, sighs contentedly, and lets himself drift to sleep; they’re graduating tomorrow.

Works for Madison & More are due in 7 weeks!!!

If you're still looking for inspiration, maybe one of these prompts about our beloved Frogs will help:

Nursey and Dex go on a road trip after graduation. Up to you whether it’s established relationship or getting together!

Chowder teaches the gang surfing. Shenanigans ensue. Could contain lots of grumbling and quips about the dissimilar nature of water and ice. Could contain whole gang shenanigans, could be shippy, go wild in the water basically.

The Frogs’ group chat from the summers in between (and beyond?) their Samwell years!

The unfairly hot lifeguard at the beach (Chris) has been driving Dex, Nursey, and Cait INSANE every day they've been going there. So Nursey decides they could make a little competition to see who gets to date him first (spoiler alert, it's all of them)

Dex takes Nursey on a romantic picnic. Up to you whether it’s a first date or an established relationship. Also up to you whether or not the picnic goes smoothly! (Maybe the wind blows the food away or some of it gets stolen by an extremely confident squirrel)

Sailor Will Poindexter survives a summer storm while at sea and ends up stranded on a desert island. He fares pretty well for himself - especially after accidentally catching a mermaid in his makeshift fishing net and falling in love.

Did one of these prompts catch your eye? Want to read through the 165 prompts submitted to the fest? Head over to AO3!!

Works are due Friday, August 18th at 11:59pm EDT. All types of fanworks are welcome - fic, podfic, art, etc!

[nurseysbeanie]

Nursey heading to Barbenheimer with the SMH crew in a matching powder pink hoodie and sweat shorts set with retro pink Nike high tops and heart-shaped sunglasses. He's not dressed for Oppenheimer at all.

Dex is not dressed for either movie, he's in flannels as usual. He's only there because there's talk of jello shots being passed around in the theatre once the lights go down. (And because it's Nursey's turn to buy popcorn.)

Chowder is dressed in a white shirt and grey pants with a fedora, and he has a hot pink tie and pocket square.

Farmer is in a full 1940s mens outfit with suspenders, proper wingtips, an actual fedora (Chowder's is a trilby but she won't tell him that), cufflinks and a pipe. She's sweating so hard she might pass out.

[zimmerdouche]

for fluffy polyfrogs (i’m just gonna say too many things & u can pick): watching a horror movie, watching a rom-com, cooking/baking, all-nighter for stressful reasons, all-nighter for fun reasons, playoff beards, spa day, picnic date, amusement park date. ok i’m done.

“Guys, come on, you know the beards are scratchy!”

everyone gets a little scraggly during playoffs but that’s no excuse to give your boyfriend beard burn 😤

_X_

these were all so GOOD and after several attempts at a spa day where i just couldn’t get the poses right i went for this! scruffy men

(they’re seniors so they’re allowed a little more facial hair and the beginnings of a flow in some cases)

The Only Thing That’s Separating You and Me Tonight

m/multi | 10k words | polyfrogs (chowder/dex/nursey) | humor and some angst, polyamory | teen & up

It starts when Chowder accidentally walks in on Nursey and Dex. In his defense, they were making out in HIS and Lardo’s bathroom, with the door wide unlocked. The look of fear and sheer panic on Dex's face will haunt Chowder in his dreams for weeks to come. Nursey, who was pressed up against the sink, looked up lazily, barely cocking an eyebrow at Chowder. “For the record, we’re both sober.” --- It's a tale as old as time: Chowder realizes he's in love with his two best friends and tries to figure out how to get together with them, as well as getting them together with each other.

check it out on AO3

(ID in alt and under cut)

ID: Knees up of Chowder, Nursey, and Dex standing together on a white background. Nursey, wearing a long sleeved pale mustard shirt with thumb holes, a dark blue puffy vest, a thin green scarf, and dark wash jeans, has his arms thrown around the others’ shoulders and is leaning in between them with a grin. Chowder, wearing a sharks zip up hoodie and medium wash jeans, smiles back easily, hand grasping on to Nursey’s over his chest. His mouth is open around the smile, likely in the middle of infodumping and refusing to be interrupted by surprise affection. Dex, wearing a red plaid flannel with sleeves rolled to the elbow open over a white tee shirt, light wash jeans, and an analog watch, has one hand in his pants pocket and the other gripping Nursey’s wrist. He is half turned towards Nursey, teeth bared as if going to scold him for his clinginess, but is fighting a smile and losing. /end ID
