Check Please! Fic Rec

Quick update. ✨

Hi, hello. 👋

So. I've been working on something a tiny bit different—a m/m novel. (Yes, novel. Not a comic. I know.) It's a completely separate story from Check, Please!, but it's got the same humor, pining, and feel-good vibes that make #omgcp what it is.

It’s about John Rich, a 28-year-old cover artist for The New York Review, who’s tasked with drawing the gorgeous but seemingly vapid action star, Tyler Hughes. Problem is, John can’t seem to draw this dude. Then of course, shenanigans.

I've posted the first five chapters on AO3, and I've been updating monthlyish? (Remember how I never had an update schedule for Check, Please! ya...) If you're into funny, feel-good, lighthearted gay romance, do give it a read. Absolutely, no pressure. Just wanted to share what I'm working on that wasn't superheroes or semi-autobio YA.

10 years into his NHL career, PR finally convinces Jack to make a Twitter and absolutely no one was prepared for how good he’d be at it (Bitty takes all the credit)

1. What Were You Gonna Say Before Deflecting Eric Richard Bittle

2. bitty assuming he won't see jack all summer and potentially for longer. jack assuming bitty knew he'd drive up before the season started. there's something here about bitty's abandonment issues and how he assumes jack won't wanna make time to see him but also how jack is so giving with his love (and also so bad at communicating his feelings) that upon hearing this he's just like what? of course i'll come see you. of course of course of course i will.

after ten minutes bitty’s like ‘ok, sweetheart, I’m so glad you’re taking an interest, but can we make out now?’
