Jack is actually one of the most adorable people ever. He’s seated there at the press conference and when he’s asked who he kissed on the ice, he just blinks and goes, ‘oh…my boyfriend?’ It doesn’t even sound like an unsure answer, more like isn’t obvious? because maybe he’s thinking, ‘oh gee who else could be it? that’s my boyfriend, you idiots.’
Taako: hey babe what do you want for candlenights this year?
Kravitz: *takes Taako’s hand in his, stares deeply into his eyes*
Kravitz: your last name.
Taako: wh… like… oh
Taako: are… are you sure? because my last name is also Taako. but spelled different.
Kravitz: *forcing himself not to recoil* yyeeeahhhhhhh… that’s…. fine….
Queer Eye AU! What was going to be fluff about Bitty and Jack quickly became an entire episode of Queer Eye. If you haven’t seen the show, what are you doing with your life? Credit goes entirely to @aokayinspace and @zimmerhomme for creating the jumping off point for this! Uh, I guess RPF from the perspective that it involves the Fab Five? Very few fic liberties are taking regarding them, they mostly just provide the framework for the story. It mainly focuses on Bitty and Jack. Still, if that bothers you I recommend you move on and read @omgericzimmermann ‘s fic instead (read it on ao3 here) which slots other omgcp characters into the Fab Five (or if it doesn’t bother you, read this one AND Hayley’s!) Inspiration for Bitty’s food rant comes from Ruby Tandoh’s (you may remember her from GBBO) book Eat Up which I’m currently reading and highly recommend! Do some accuracy hand waving with the timeline. Please also excuse excessive comma usage and any typos (tho if there’s anything that makes absolutely no sense, please lmk so I can fix it!), I only do a very cursory proofred bc I can’t be bothered. Enjoy!
It’s like being ambushed.
A very friendly, loud ambush.
Jack is sitting at the kitchen table, methodically alternating between eating a chicken sandwich and doing his statistics homework (he really should have gotten his Math credit out of the way his freshman year) when he hears the doorbell ring, the front door open and Holster shout, no, scream, a “FUCK YES!” from living room. It’s a testament to how used to the team he is that he doesn’t think anything is amiss until Holster comes running into the kitchen, a man who looks oddly like a white Jesus in his arms. He’s followed up by Ransom who is carrying a small blond man. The rest of the team piles in, followed by three other strangers Jack doesn’t recognize and an entire camera crew.
What ensues is a lot of excited yelling, enthusiastic introductions from the men he doesn’t recognize and curious exploring of the kitchen. Bittle, or Bitty as he told Jack most people call him, is talking sweetly to the Haus oven when it finally occurs to Jack what is happening. “You’re the Fantastic Five.” he says, and everyone laughs.
jack is the only one wearing a cap because he’s bisexual and that’s just the Fashion
As much as I love fics where Jack has big dramatic heartfelt speeches ready when he comes out, I’m actually really glad that he’s still a dingdong in canon. He should be allowed to be himself, an awkward large boy who loves his bf and is bad at press. Just because he’s the first out guy in the NHL doesn’t mean he somehow has to earn support by being a perfect poster child- he’s had enough of that for a lifetime.
So true.
Falcs PR: we’re worried the press is going to focus entirely on Jack’s sexuality rather than his hockey.
Georgia: I think it’s not going to be a problem actually.
Reporter: (asks elaborate derailing question about Jack’s sexuality)
Jack: (talks about hockey)
Reporter: (leading question about keeping politics out of sport)
Jack: (talks about hockey)
Reporter: (personal question about his history with Kent Parson)
Jack: (analyses Parse’s last game for ten minutes)
Falcs PR: how is he so bad at this but also so great???
Georgia: wait until they figure out what happens when they ask his favourite pie.
