Summary
Good ol' college kid shenanigans, flirting, confusion, friendship and being dopey normal young adults. Nursey is extremely into everyone in some way and it's a lot to deal with during a warm spring afternoon. Lardo's sometimes nickname for Ford is F-word, in my mind.
Title from the same song by The Raconteurs

Summary
This is sort of a Shitty-centric fic, though he actually says the least out of anyone (!?). It started with the idea of where most college relationships like Shitty and Lardo’s end up. Then it got the added dimension of seeing fandom concerns over how young is too young for a couple to get married (or even think about it). Basically, Jack and Bitty’s relationship is by far the exception to the rule, mainly because they’ve both aged up much faster than the people around them (for different reasons). Everyone else has a whole lot of adjusting and growing to do between college and ‘adulting’ and their relationships will change and develop as well. Personally I feel like all of SMH stay close and love each other.
But there are many ways of that panning out, as Shitty and Lardo learn.
Title from "Call It Dreaming" by Iron & Wine

Summary
Sort of fits in the Missing Scenes series I guess? More prequel type stuff, and as always is just me playing around in Ngozi’s sandbox. The Zimmerparents are wonderful people and adore their son, but I like peering into where the cracks might have been along the way.

Some sweet Jack-Knows-But-He-Doesn't pigtail pulling with a Definitely-Knows-Bitty with some Holsom moments and Lardo being extremely Lardo.

Summary
Heavy trigger warnings for Jack’s rehab and overall stressful and upsetting discussions about his and Bob’s lives. I don’t know why I decided to hurt myself like this. It’s a plain old shot of angst.
If depressing or upsetting stories aren't something you feel you'd deal with well right now then go ahead and skip this one! I'm not being overly-indulgent with the old pain and suffering but it's also stuff that can just have been inferred from the comic.

Summary
As these are all fics filling in missing scenes, I’m using them to explore moments that seem to be pretty well carved out by Ngozi but don’t quite fit the overall light tone of the comic. Sometimes the told but not shown hits harder than even the panels though and her intent is clear. Neither our narrator, Bitty, nor the shenanigans of the comic feel comfortable vehicles for the more serious moments. So, I’m doing my best with them.
I try to steer these as close to shore as possible when it comes to my own speculation and I am pretty dedicated with pulling details from the tweets as they coincide with the episodes. But these are absolutely my own imaginings and as always, this sandbox belongs to Ngozi.

Summary
Jack's just taking pictures whenever he sees something worth photographing, something that seems to fit what he's being told in class, about line and shape and color and beauty.
It's like the camera knew before Jack did.

Summary
William Pointedexter doesn't know which is worse--that everyone kinda thinks he's a designationist conservative asshole or that every time Derek Nurse steps on the ice he totally looses control of his biology and wants to growl at every alpha and beta player even thinking about checking him. He finds it easier to just be seen as the conservative jerk that has an issue with being paired with an omega as his d-man partner. But then, fucking Nursey has to keep being smart, and annoying, and funny, and annoying!

Where did Jack and Bitty run off to after the kiss heard around the world? I've got several theories. Here’s one.

Summary
When Eric Bittle's scholarship is threatened, he doesn't know what he's going to do. He can't go home, and he can't afford Samwell on his own. Then help is offered from the most unexpected place--Hockey Legend, Bad Bob Zimmermann. Bitty knows things like this don't come for free, he just never expected he'd have to "look after" Bob's equally famous son, Falconers' captain, Jack Zimmermann.
