Shipper tag game
tagged by the lovely @lucientelrunya (thank you!!!)
What ship were you completely obsessed with when you were a teenager, but now you don't care about anymore?
hmm..........i wrote a lot of oc stories when i was younger, largely for warrior cats settings/spinoffs, so i don't think i had a specific ship i was into? i read a lot of genfic (again, warrior cats fan).
Which ship would you consider your first one?
like i said, i didn't really have a "ship" for a long time, but in 2013 i was gifted the first l&co book and it prompted me to get much more seriously into fandom, so.......locklyle, i guess (i had yet to discover gay people, which is very ironic if you consider certain facts about my life).
Your first fanfic was about which couple?
again, locklyle! i actually deleted the fic i wrote, rewrote it, and reuploaded it years after i had first written it.
Do you remember the first couple you saw fanart of?
i think it was wc art? probably sandfire (gay cats weren't exactly..............in, yet).
Have you ever gotten into ship discourse?
no. i refuse to do so. if i hate a ship i'll complain about it to my friends to let off steam and then continue on with my life. i'm here to have fun not spend my limited spoons on arguing about fictional characters. if there's one person or people who post a lot of ships i don't like i'll block or avoid them.
Did you use to have any NOTP or have one currently?
yeah but i'm not going to say them because i would rather not get into an argument about things with people. beloved friends can probably guess though.
Who were the couple in the last fanfic you read?
uhhhhhh fuck. i think. hang on. du cheng/shen yi (this is @lunarriviera's fault).
Currently, do you have any OTPs?
[shakes dmbj] yes. (mainly tiesanjiao as a romantic pairing. i have written quite literally 100k+ about them u_u)
Is there any couple that, to this day, you are extremely mad about not getting together?
i was going to say nygmob in gotham but then i remembered. [YOU cat meme] syfy magicians. ohhhhhh i have so many words in my head and rage in my heart and hatred of showrunners and the way the show was handled later on and—whatever. whatever. it's fine. i still have a life in the day.
Is there any ship you used to dislike but now you think they are kind of interesting?
uhhhhhhhhh fuck. um. i can't think of anything on this aspect but i have the opposite. when i first got into tgcf i was neutral on fq but as i read more i got more and more annoyed that people were ignoring the clear class dynamics at play and how that complicated and complicates their relationship and instead just pigeonholing them into the enemies (rivals) to lovers mould.
Do you have any ship that, in the past, would've been considered normal but now you would be cancelled over?
what's the view on firetiger these days because that's probably the only one i can think of.
What is your favorite crack ship?
i don't really read crackfic? i like crackfic but i prefer crack taken serious—WAIT. I JUST REMEMBERED. tony stark x thomas barrow. if you know who that is you probably know the exact fanfic i'm talking about. that's probably the only crackship i can think of that has left any sort of impression on me. no idea how it holds up currently since i only read it once at like 4:00am but yeah it was fun.
What is the couple you read the most fanfics about?
numbers-wise probably either newmann or hualian. probably hualian? emotional support godghost couple <3
What do most of your ships usually have in common?
deeply fucked up people who find meaning in each other, probably.
What you absolutely hate in a ship?
destroying a character's personality to make the ship work. i love shipfic but fuck you i want those characters to be in character. i don't care if it makes the ship "more fucked up" that's actually fun in my opinion.
tagging..................uhhhhh @lunanoc @lungache @owengrose @lasenbyphoenix @mhaccunoval @butchybats and anyone else who wants to play!

The first OMGCP Reverse Bang is officially closed!
Thanks to all the amazing artists, authors and betas for giving us all these new art pieces and fics!
Under the cut, you can find this year masterlist. Fics are listed in alphabetical order.
The Adventure Ends in Chaos by loveyoutoobits (lostflares)
Art by omgtranspoindexter
Rating: T
Caitlin is the defacto leader of the odd questing group consisting of Caitlin as the ranger, Chowder as the rogue, Dex as the cleric, and Nursey as the bard. They travel from one land to another, across the ocean, fighting an ogre, a group of pirates, and the beast of Riberia, which proves a tough nut to crack, even for the somewhat experienced adventurers.
All I need is home (my feet will always land) by whatsdunisdun
Art by shadowfaerieammy
Pairing: Derek Nurse/William Poindexter
Rating: T
“Alright, Poindexter?” Nursey asks, a soft smile on his face, bright sunlight behind him, lighting up his hair like a misshapen halo.
“Alright, Nurse,” Dex replies, and if Nursey doesn’t drop his hand once he stands up, Dex isn’t really one to complain.
He didn’t know he could have this, but now doesn’t know how to live without it.
OR: 5 times Nursey found Dex and 1 time Dex found Nursey
A Cat By Any Other Name by WhatWouldLilyDo
Art by pretty-meris
Pairing: Derek Nurse/William Poindexter
Rating: T
Nursey sat by the cat and held out a finger in greeting. “You’re gorgeous. I haven’t seen you before. Hi. I’m Derek.”
The cat leaned its head towards his finger cautiously before pressing its head against his hand. Nursey was all too happy to give the cat the petting it wanted. “How are you, this fine day?”
The cat stood and looked at Nursey before she arched her back and rubbed it against his hand as she stepped onto his lap. Her eyes seemed to be pointed to the cast on his left arm.
“I know,” Nursey said with a sigh. “I play hockey for the Falcs, you see, but a bit of a confession — I didn’t injure myself on the ice. It was totally unchill. I tripped over the boards at the end of the game. I may never be able to show my face in public again. But I have to be chill. For the fans. And Jack drew a falcon, look, so at least I have a neat cast.”
Don’t Keep Your Distance by actualkon
Art by jckzimmermanns
Pairing: Eric Bittle/Jack Zimmermann
Rating: E
The kingdom of Montré has, for centuries, been isolated in the snowy mountains, holding its wisdom and secrets of magic close to its heart. Now, for the first time, the kingdom is forging an alliance with the neighboring kingdom of Samwell; their princes, Jack and Eric, are married off to each other. With their fathers dealing with a potential invasion, and their mothers ruling in their place, Jack and Eric are left in a palace on the outskirts of Montré to become familiar with one another.
Fall back together (monsters turned out to be just trees) by whatsdunisdun
Art by topieornottopie
Pairing: Eric Bittle/Jack Zimmermann
Rating: T
Soon enough, something that is surprisingly not Beyoncé is blaring out of the car’s speakers, and Parson is trying to see how loud he can turn the music up without pissing off Jack, who appears to be attempting to read a history book in the middle seat.
Connor doesn’t understand these people most of the time, but he loves them. Reluctantly, but still.
OR: Whiskey, Chad L, Jack, Bitty, Kent and Tater go on a weekend road trip/camping getaway together. Some unlikely friendships ensue, some emotions are discussed, and some relationships are finally worked out.
Flasks of edelweiss by palateens
Art by intimatopia
Pairing: Kent Parson/Jack Zimmermann
Rating: T
edelweiss n. - a European perennial symbolizing adventure and notoriety. literally translated as "noble white"
flask n. - a metal container used to hold and conceal liquid. sometimes a tool of dependency for the excessive.
It’s the first time Jack realizes why Kent’s eyes change the way they do. More often than not, Kent remembers while Jack forgets.
For Good by sailorsav
Art by jckzimmermanns
Pairing: Adam Birkholtz/Justin Oluransi
Rating: G
Adam Birkholtz has been racing teams of sled dogs most of his life. The sweet isolation of living in a tiny town of Northern Maine let him excel at that. There’s no one he’d rather be around than his dogs. Well, not until he meets the new vet in town and then he wants to be with his dogs and Dr. Oluransi.
Long story short: A Holsom Sled Dog AU
From afar by hockeydyke
Art by tangotangredi
Pairing: Eric Bittle/Jack Zimmermann
Rating: T
National Geographic wildlife photographer Jack Zimmermann arrives at a small, uninhabited island off the coast of Georgia to get some shots of migratory birds, but there's something else lurking in the waters, and he's pretty sure it's watching him.
The problem? Jack can't swim.
Got Your Back by LeftWingLibrarian
Art by rub-a-dubb
Pairing: Gen, Shitty Knight & Jack Zimmermann
Rating: T
Extrovert Shitty adopts cold hockey robot Jack Zimmermann.
Hey there Ghosties, it’s us, ya boys! by emimix3
Art by omgtranspoindexter
Rating: T
It would sound like a stupid idea, but the year was 2016 and the new Ghostbusters movie had just come out. So of course, when there were issues with the Haus' ghosts, Tango's first idea was for him and his friends to become the local paranormal investigators.
If they wanted Dibs, it was that or massaging feet for months anyway.
Choose Your Own Adventure story (mobile-and-desktop friendly) based on the adventures of the Tadpoles hunting ghosts.
The Hothead and the Cat by bellabee
Art by nubs-mgee
Pairing: Derek Nurse/William Poindexter
Rating: G
William Poindexter was not soft, thank you very much. Anybody who knew him could certainly attest to that. He was as hot headed as his hair would suggest and had a fuse shorter than Bittle. It wasn’t often that he showed emotions other than indifference or anger, and when he did it was usually to Bitty or Chowder. That wasn’t to say that he didn’t feel any other emotions, obviously, he just wasn’t one to show them.
This, among many other reasons, was why it was so baffling to Nursey when Dex suddenly stopped on the walk back to the Haus at the sound of a pitiful mewl from a bush. He had come to an abrupt stop, causing Nursey to run into his back and almost topple over. Dex grabbed his arm to steady him, though not without shushing him for the noise he created from his clumsiness.
While on a walk, Nursey and Dex stumble across an injured kitten. Once they get her fixed up, neither can bear to get rid of her. Thus, she becomes their secret basement cat.
I Wanna See You Be Brave by Kirani
Art By dyinginjapanese
Pairing: Denise Ford/Tony Tangredi/Connor Whisk, Connor Whisk/OMC, Minor or Background Relationships
Rating: T
In which crushes are had, feelings are talked about, and chirping is indistinguishable from flirting.
Is Forever Enough? By ershai
Art by actualkon
Pairing: Eric Bittle/Jack Zimmermann
Rating: T
"Eric crept cautiously toward the street. No one was in sight; whoever had been speaking was no longer there. He didn’t know whether to be glad of it or not. His head was pounding, he was in a strange place - who could say if the unknown speakers were friend or foe? He had no memory of how he had come to be here. He could barely remember his own name, his head hurt so monstrously.”
The Kiss: Five Years On by blueflamingo
Art by korechtonia
Pairing: Kent Parson/Jeff “Swoops” Troy
Rating: T
Five years after The Kiss, a journalist wanting to write about how hockey's changed reaches out to players across the NHL.
Learned Our Lessons Well by McBangle
Art by immahockeysticktoyou
Pairing: Gen, Shitty Knight & Jack Zimmermann
Rating: T
Shitty had known enough sons of celebrities and millionaires to have a pretty clear idea of what Jack Zimmermann would be like. But this kid was nothing like any of them. For some reason, Shitty couldn’t shake the urge to protect this quiet, awkward nerd. Or to maybe actually be friends with him.
Or, scenes from Shitty’s and Jack’s friendship, from their frog year through Shitty’s second year at Harvard Law.
Let Him Dance With Me (Just for the Hell of It) by shiptoomuch
Art by karin848
Pairing: Eric Bittle/Jack Zimmermann
Rating: E
Turns out having loud sex with your fwb does not make you popular with the neighbors...
Like the Way It’s Going by deppendlttleocean
Art by pwoops
Pairing: Kent Parson/Jeff “Swoops” Troy
Rating: T
Kent Parson spent the ages of 18 through 24 pining over a boy who didn’t love him anymore (maybe ever) and then spent all of 25 and the first month of 26 thinking about the first “real” crush he ever had. eff Troy had been a year older than him and a year younger than his sister Naomi. But Naomi had repeated Kindergarten and she and Jeff had ended up in the same class. Then he ended up at every single one of Naomi’s birthday parties and sleepovers, and then he ended up at their house after school every single day until he and Naomi were inseparable. Then he and Kent were inseparable.
The Line Between by writingonpostcards
Art by transzimmermann
Pairing: Eric Bittle/Jack Zimmermann
Rating: M
After accusing his partner, Kent, of being a double-agent, Jack is suspended from his job. One year later, Jack’s put back on duty with Bitty, a US agent five years his junior. It’s hard not to read it as a snub.
Jack and Bitty’s partnership is rocky, with distrust on both sides. When a chance arises for Jack to prove his suspicions about Kent, can he move past his resentment toward Bitty so they can work together and finally prove he was right?
More Than a Friend by believesinponds
Art by lasenbyphoenix
Pairing: Alexei Mashkov/Jack Zimmermann
Rating: T
Jack sees Tater as more than a teammate, more than a friend. On a long roadie, Tater does something about it.
My Love Keeps Me Warm by kirani
Art by sexydexynurse
Pairing: Chris Chow/Caitlin Farmer/Derek Nurse/William Poindexter, Chris Chow/Caitlin Farmer, Derek Nurse/William Poindexter, Background Ford/Lardo, Background George/OFC, Past Dex/Whiskey
Rating: E
Will Poindexter is not looking forward to six months of darkness at the remote Antarctica scientific base he’s stationed at, until his colleague Derek Nurse approaches him with a mutually beneficial arrangement, and then one thing leads to another and, well, the dark gets a lot more interesting.
New Face of Failure by Khashana
Art by abominableobriens
Pairing: Jack Zimmermann/Kent Parson
Rating: M
Fresh out of rehab, an angry, jaded Jack is dragged unwillingly to the Olympics, where he begins a passionate love affair with a figure skater who understands him more than he thought possible.

Art by jckzimmermanns

Denice Ford has been searching for a job, but the one she ends up with is in a world she thought she left behind.
It's still going to be awesome, though.
No Question by winchysteria
Art by tangotangredi
Pairing: Chris Chow/Caitlin Farmer
Rating: G
It is a well-curated myth that Caitlin Farmer has been certain about everything she has ever done in her entire life.
Now I’m A Believer by sc010f
Art | Art2 by pwoops
Pairing: Kent Parson/Jeff “Swoops” Troy
Rating: no rating
Jeff has never believed in luck. Rituals aren’t superstitions - rituals are ways of focusing the mind. Jeff has never believed in God, really, either. If he’s ever believed in anything, it’s been hockey. He loves his mom, but love is different from belief, and later he loved Tristan, and probably believed in him, too.
These days, though, Jeff knows better than to believe in anything other than himself. He exists, he breathes, he works, and he still loves his mom, but love is different from belief. It’s not hubris, it’s just a fact.
A lifetime of hockey had been taken from him, but at least he gets to keep his music.
Of imagination, all compact by akaparalian
Art by zim-tits
Pairing: Derek Nurse/William Poindexter
Rating: T
“Well, we can’t just leave him here,” Dex snarls, pacing back and forth and occasionally raking his hands through his hair so violently that it’s started to stick out in all directions. “Personally, I’m thinking I should turn him into an earthworm and leave him out on a rock to fry.”
“You can’t turn me into an earthworm,” the stranger calls dismissively from the other end of the glade, where Dex had ordered him to stand so that he and Chowder could discuss amongst themselves how best to ‘deal with him.’ He’d acquiesced, at least in the sense of physically going over to where Dex had told him to go, but he hasn’t exactly been letting them get on with their business without input.
“And why not?” Dex snarls, spinning around to glare at him.
“Dex,” Chowder points out, as calmly as possible, “you can’t turn him into an earthworm. You’re terrible at that sort of thing.”
Or: the lunatic, the lover, and the poet.
Off to the Races by blindinglights
Art by actualkon
Pairing: Eric Bittle/Jack Zimmermann
Rating: T
The thing is, Bitty knows that Jack doesn’t mind Bitty racing because Jack still races. He knows this, they’ve talked about it a lot. He also knows that Jack is only worried this time because of the fact that he’s racing the Lax Bros again, because of some stupid bet they made before.
On the Wings of Dragons by effyeahzimbits
Art by KARIN848
Pairing: Eric Bittle/Jack Zimmermann
Rating: T
The How to Train Your Dragon AU that nobody realised they needed until now.
The Vikings of Samwell have been at war with dragons for centuries. Until one day, a young man by the name of Eric Bittle changes destiny. He wouldn’t kill a dragon.
Out of the Hockey Rink and Down the Rabbit Hole by Black_market_orchids_and_books
Art by missweber
Pairing: Kent Parson/Jeff “Swoops” Troy
Rating: T
"There were labels on the bottle and the plate that held the cake; the former said ‘Drink Me’ while the latter said ‘Eat Me.’ Kent had to laugh at that. This was some weird kind of Alice in Wonderland shit. Still, he couldn’t just unfall through the hole. The only way out of here was through that door..."
Kent Parson has become Alice, left to wander Wonderland to find a way out again. Everything about Wonderland is just strange and there is this vague sense of familiarity that Kent gets from the people he meets there, but he just can't remember. Why is all of this happening? He was just trying to practice when it all started…
Paint Me Like One of Your French Canadians by Denois
Art by pastel-franceschi
Pairing: Derek Nurse/William Poindexter
Rating: M
Lardo hooked Dex up with an extra part time job to help make ends meet back in his frog year. Modeling for the art classes was pretty easy money, and the team never had to know. Until Nursey took an art elective and needed a private model to complete his project and pass the class. Nursey's sure that he can keep it professional and friendly....as long as Dex never sees the completed paintings.
Photosynthesize (and drink up the sunrise) by Faiasakura
Art by abominableobriens
Pairing: Larissa Duan/Kent Parson
Rating: T
Lardo wasn’t anticipating much time for relationships or dating when she moved to New York.
If she’s truthful to herself, she doesn’t know what she was anticipating.
But Kent feels like coming home.
The one where starving artist Lardo meets Kent, son of the local bakery owner. Romance ensues, revelations are had, and things don't end so much as they progress.
Pies, waves and kisses by bittycanbake
Art by ForFutureReference
Pairing: Derek Nurse/William Poindexter
Rating: T
In a world where magic, ghosts, fae, demi-demigods and monsters are real, Nursey Patrol has a whole different meaning for poor ol' Dex and the rest of the Samwell crew.
When Nursey proposes they go on holiday to his parents' cottage in Cornwall, England, Dex manages to convince Nursey that Lardo, Shitty, Bitty and Jack should come with. Y'know, make it a couples' holiday... only he and Nursey aren't a couple yet. But hey, at least Dex will have the backup he needs for Nursey Patrol.
A pinch of magic by halfdesertedstreets
Art by abominableobriens
Pairing: Justin Oluransi/Kent Parson, Kent Parson/Jack Zimmermann, Justin Oluransi/Jack Zimmermann, Justin Oluransi/Kent Parson/Jack Zimmermann
Rating: T
Jack pauses at his doorstop, key in hand, nonplussed as he takes in the small army of people hauling boxes and furniture into the once-empty house.
“Swoops, if you drop that box of plates, I’m fucking murdering you!” a voice calls out in cheerful warning. “That dining set has been in Ransom’s family for over twenty years!”
“What the hell, bro, plates do not last that fucking long!” a tall figure balancing a precarious stack of boxes yells back.
Or, the one where Jack is a solitary spellbook shopkeeper, whose quiet life gains a lot more color when Kent Parson and Justin Oluransi, warlock partners deeply in love, move into the house across the street.
Real Gone by moransroar

Pairing: Eric Bittle/Jack Zimmermann
Rating: G
“Better keep an eye on him,” Shitty muses as down below, the coaches call everyone together to start the tryout process, and Bitty privately thinks he won’t have any trouble keeping his eyes on that.
Roll for Initiative by bookwyrmling
Art by faiasakura
Pairing: Larissa Duan/Kent Parson
Rating: T
“Are you working on any art projects right now?”
“Shits!”
“I’m allowed to ask!” he defended himself. “You’ve always loved art and then you just suddenly dropped it all and flew across the country.”
“I’m getting my life together!” Larissa argued.
“It feels more like you’re running away."
Larissa glared out her apartment window, hiding from the late summer heat as her air conditioner burned through her paycheck. “You’d know about that, wouldn’t you?” she asked, not quite regretting the words as much as she knew she should.
Sometimes it takes a run-in at a frat party and a Dungeons & Dragons campaign to realize how much life there is left to live.
Send Me Back A Thousand Days by ackermom

Pairing: Kent Parson/Jack Zimmermann

The boy in the frame is slipping off his jacket. He looks into the camera, suddenly aware of its presence. He’s not smiling yet. But the sun is shining across his face, and Jack remembers that this was the first time he ever loved Kent.

We must open our hands by kirani
Art by carys
Pairing: Kent Parson/Jack Zimmermann
Rating: T
“Shapeshifting? That’s rare. May I ask what kind of bird?”
Kent smiled again, glad it hadn’t derailed the conversation. “A crow.”
The man, Jack, hummed. “I would have taken you for something lighter. Smaller, maybe.”
“Hey, is that a comment about my height?” Kent put a hand on his hip.
“Haha, no,” Jack replied. “Just the feeling I get from your magic.”
“Ah, an empath. Also rare.”
Jack’s cheeks colored and Kent nearly melted. Handsome, magic, and shy? Adorable.
We Say Please by giraffeter
Art by 4rekid
Pairing: Eric Bittle/Jack Zimmermann, Larissa Duan/Shitty Knight
Rating: T
A year after his divorce, Jack Zimmermann is finally getting the hang of this whole "single parent" thing. When his best friends Shitty and Lardo ask Jack's daughter to be a co-flower-girl in their wedding, Jack meets their friend Bitty - a single dad, just like him. The fact that Bitty is sweet, charming, and cute as a button? That's just icing on the (wedding) cake.
Eric "Bitty" Bittle has a thriving bakery and an adorable little girl - too bad he doesn't have much of a social life. All that changes when he meets sexy hockey star Jack Zimmermann. So what if Jack is probably straight? It's just nice to make a friend who understands what Bitty's going through.
Can these two single dads overcome heartbreak and find love again?
