Madison & More Bingo 🏖🏕🏝
Here are some of my fave (so far) fics and art from the @madisonandmore summer prompt challenge!
Well, the start of September makes it feel like summer is fading. But don't worry, fearless reader! These summery fanfics will make you feel the sun on your face, the sand under your feet, and the scent of fresh-cut grass on the breeze!
Unnameable Truth (M) @thefiveboxingwizards | vacation, less than 5000 words, one-shot
I liked that this was a less sunny/happy/vacation-y story about repression and self-discovery. The summer's not happy and carefree for everyone. But there is hope at the end of this one.
Wasteland Baby (M) @checkdeezpucks | AU, one-shot
This surprised me! Despite the premise sounding a bit incongruous with Check Please, this was a great read. Mad Max Tater/Parse was a longshot for me but you proved me wrong, op. Would definitely not be mad if we got another chapter or two of this 👀
Hot-lanta (G) @justlookfrightened | Zimbits, vacation, one-shot
I keep thinking about this one, and Bitty/Jack's meet-cute and Bitty rollerblading. And quiches. And Tater being wingman!
suddenly this summer it's clear (T) @dessertwaffles | favourite ship, a work that made me laugh, one-shot
I actually snorted out loud while reading this standing out on the sidewalk in a crowd of people while waiting for the streetcar. I have no shame. It's funny and cute, read it!
like an ice cream cone (T) @wrathofthestag | SHITTY KNIGHT!!, food or baking, one-shot
Shitty's backstory is important to me (!!!) and this was great. Discussion question: Is the origin of Shitty's porn-stache tied to the memory of a moustachioed ice cream vendor he idolizes from his youth? You tell me. It was hard to see tiny Shitty going through family problems but his au pair seems like the coolest!
amphibious creatures (T) HowOldAreWe | fave ship, mermaids, frogs 🐸 , multi-chapter
I don't generally go for mermaid AUs but this was juuuust lovely! The frogs are wonderful here, and I really liked the setup and follow-through. And I'm not going to say any more than that Chowder makes a great appearance here :)
Making My Head Spin (E) @justlookfrightened | summer camp, zimbits, multi-chapter
Turns out I like fics where Bitty makes a go of it for the NHL! Loved seeing Jack and Bitty letting down their guard and risking being hurt in this one. Super sweet and a little spicy at the end :) Nothing better than that.
Heard The Mermaids Singing (M) @checkdeezpucks | rarepair, mermaids, one-shot
This was another work that wasn't sun-drenched and happy. I loved to see the gritty, almost gothic setting; loved to see some CP femmeslash. Loved to see the teeth and the texture here. Short and... piquant.
The Way Way North (T) by @mcbangle | zimbits, SHITTY KNIGHT!!, vacation, the beach, work that made me smile, frogs, multi-chapter
I keep thinking about this one. Listen, Shitty Knight is... essential. He is the GLUE that holds together CP Year One for me, okay? I know that this fic is primarily about Bitty and his parents' relationship, and his crush on Jack, and that is all done deftly and wonderfully. But Shitty is the standout for me here. (Also I now need to see the movie this is based on.)
Eelgrass (T) by @perhapsajacket | fave ship, the beach, vacation, multi-chapter (pending)
Just a nice AU where Dex is ho-humming through his vacation until he chances upon the cute local bookshop owner (enter Nursey) who has fallen into a tidepool and needs a hand. What could be more adorable than that? I liked seeing some of Dex's family and backstory here. And I would live to see more 👀
Cowabunga (G) @zimbits-my-love | art, surfing, the beach
This is super cute art and I loved the colour scheme. I can so imagine Bitty and Jack surfing together on vacation!
This was a fun summer challenge, thanks to all the organizers! I will be updating my own work, Summer Gothic, soon with a new chapter. (Sorry, I write slow. 🐌)

Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Check Please! (Webcomic)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Eric "Bitty" Bittle/Jack Zimmermann
Characters: Eric "Bitty" Bittle, Jack Zimmermann, Shitty Knight, Larissa "Lardo" Duan
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe, Alternate Universe - Beach, Snack Shack Employee Bitty, Enemies to Lovers, Canon-Typical Drug and Alcohol Use, Mention of a near-drowning incident, Summer Romance, Surfing Instructor Jack
Summary:
Working at the beachfront snack shack isn't the most glamorous job, but at least Eric has a great view of the hot surfing instructor to help him pass the time.
It's too bad the hot surfing instructor is kind of a jerk.
Or, Eric Bittle is an overworked snack shack employee making minimum wage, and Jack Zimmermann's job is beach.
@madisonandmore reveals were today (yesterday?) so I can finally share that I contributed this to the fest!

Well, hello there, honey! Fancy meeting you here!
The weather is (finally) warming up in the Samwell area and we're extremely pleased to announce that Madison & More, a new Check, Please! prompt fest, is now happening!!!
Here are some important details:
☀️The overall theme is Summertime, which could include Madison-based works (timely, since we figure Madison may be on people's minds now that the comic is appearing in mailboxes around the world now!), however prompts and works can be related to any characters or ships doing anything summery (hence the 'More' part of the fest name)!
☀️Prompting will open on AO3 beginning Monday, May 22nd at noon EDT. More on prompting guidelines will be posted here closer to that date!
☀️Prompts will be open for two weeks (until Monday, June 5th) at which point prompts may be claimed.
☀️All types of fanworks are welcome as prompt fills: written fics, podfics, filk/vids, any type of art or handmade fanwork, etc!
☀️Finished works will be due Friday, August 18th at midnight EDT so you'll have pretty much all summer to write, pod, draw, create!!
☀️Works will begin posting the following Monday, August 21st for everyone to enjoy as summer comes to a close.
We had so much fun bringing you @omgauplease in the spring, we just couldn't wait to do it all over again! We hope you will join us for Madison & More!!!
