#nurseydex fic rec

[omgpoindexter]

what are you top 5 fave nurseydex fics you've read? (a girl is needing recs)

oh yay!!! first of all i have to admit that over the years i've dipped in and out of omgcp tumblr and therefore have been very bad at staying up to date, so most of these are quite old. they are my favourites for a reason, however! also i did 6 not 5 lol <3

to be alone with you by @alocalband Will and Derek spend their junior year learning how to live together, learning how to be friends, and, eventually, figuring out that they'd like to be more.

i actually only read this fic recently, but it’s instantly one of my new faves. it is SO well written, the characterisations of every single character are perfect, and the story is so beautiful. i’ve reread it a few times already!

in so many words also by alocalband Derek writes a short story. That's his first mistake. His second is getting it published.

idk why but i absolutely live for fics where everyone on the outside knows what nursey and dex are up to except for them, and this one is really good at it. the ‘derek “nursey” nurse is unchill’ tag is very accurate in this case.

in front of the same small bathroom mirror by @geniusorinsanity It's not surprising that sharing a room changes things, but neither of them expect the most important conversations in their strange, awkward friendship to happen in their shared bathroom. (Or: five conversations Dex and Nursey have in a shared bathroom, and one in bed.)

i absolutely adore this story. dex and nursey learning to coexist and care for each other is so special to me and this fic captures it perfectly. honestly, anything by shelly is going to be a must-read, but this one is really really wonderful.

it drops with the gravity of rain also by geniusorinsanity It happens like this: “I don’t--this is a bad idea,” Dex says, his lips still tingling, his hands shaking on Nursey’s hips where he’s shoved him away. “This is a really bad idea, Nurse. I can’t--We can’t do this.” And there’s hurt in Nursey’s eyes and his bottom lip is swollen from Dex’s teeth, but he says, “Okay.” And then, “It’s chill, Dex. Just friends, then.” It happens like this: “Actually,” Nursey says, talking more to his granola than to them, “I kind of have a date.” It happens like this: When Nursey calls, Dex almost doesn’t pick up the phone.

another wonderful fic by shelly - i reread this one all the time. it’s such a lovely character study of dex and it tackles the subject matter so well. content warnings in the end notes.

things you said by @quidhitch / @maangoes “Awww, looks like Dex appreciates a lady in uniform,” Nursey teases, tucking his feet a little further beneath Dex’s thighs. “You have a thing with the head cheerleader back in high school Dexy? Hold her pom poms and kiss her whatnot?” Dex seems to be contemplating something, and Nursey figures it’s one of his lame clapbacks like your mom’s a pom pom. He brings the bottle to his mouth, smiling around the lip of it. “Actually, I’m more of a captain of the football team kinda guy.” Nursey chokes on his beer.

i always come back to this one. it’s just so sweet and funny. i remember reading it years ago and it has stuck with me all this time.

today the sun comes in by @playedwright Will looks beautiful, Derek thinks, and it isn’t fair. Time has done nothing to lessen the extent of his feelings, either. Derek realizes a little too late exactly why he was nervous. It has been four years, three months, and five days since they graduated from Samwell, and Derek is finally facing the undeniable fact that at some time during his college years, he fell in love with William J. Poindexter and never got around to falling out of it.

this is one of those special fics that stays with you. i have never been to seattle, but this story made me homesick for the city. mars is such a gorgeous writer and this fic is a perfect example of it! (also i miss u mars!!!)

this was fun, i've missed reccing fics! i hope i could be useful! maybe i'll do some more recent ones if I manage to keep up to date with the nurseydex tag <3

Fic rec redraw for @notenoughgatorade, who, despite having multiple fandom overlap with me, ended up with a first rec for an unrelated fandom: "i'm gonna send you then 37, 201 and the last number 600 and something" (Surely one of these will work this time!)

37. Ahahahaha, I expected this to be for a cdrama, but it's one of my very rare recent OMGCP bookmarks!

if it's not you it's not anyone by jennycaakes (Nurseydex, OMGCP, 23,830 words)

Summary:

Will has a concussion, and with that concussion comes nearly a decade worth of amnesia. His memory better come back quickly because not only is he married to Nursey now, he's also apparently keeping secrets from him.

201. Okay, this one is actually a cdrama, as expected.

From my heart's ground. by orange_crushed (@robotmango) (Wangxian, Untamed, 37,997 words)

Summary:

After a while he can feel a palm against his face, gentle fingers soft and soothing. It’s not real, not exactly: he can tell the difference between a ghost’s touch and a living person’s, between a spirit-vision and an overactive imagination. His education has been thorough. But the beating has also been thorough, so for now he forgets what he knows and leans into it, into the hand cupping his cheek. It’s soft and dry as those forgotten petals, as the touch of a pillow. He can smell wildflowers, can taste blood and dirt. My baby, his mother says, and he closes his eyes. My treasure. He barely remembers the sound of her voice, but the feeling of it is just the same. Just the same as ever. [In which Lan Wangji loses almost everything, plants a garden, and grows a second chance.]

684. aka my very first bookmark, which is a little misleading, because when I first got into OMGCP, the fandom was small enough I could just remember the titles of everything I liked. ahahahahaha...

love you as the plant that never blooms by sugarybowl & wishingonalightningbolt (Nurseydex, OMGCP, 27,241 words)

Summary:

Dex doesn’t roll his eyes, but only because he’s overwhelmed with the thought that he really does have feelings for Nursey. Gooey feelings. Romantic ones. They see each other every day; they’ve been close, there’s been touching, and maybe—maybe it’s not quite as platonic as Dex assumed it was. From watching Ransom and Holster, anyone could get the idea that that’s just what friends do. But… It feels different. “I like him,” he says, soft, contemplative. “I like when he’s around and it’s frustrating to watch him go. It’s horrible to think he might be upset at me, or that he thinks I lied to him. It’s killing me.” -0- Dex doesn't know what it is to want. With Nursey, he learns.

This was the one that cemented Nursey's love for Neruda in my mind as permanent fanon, and also features ace!Dex.

Dex rolls his eyes from the armchair next to Nursey. He’s been doing that a lot ever since they arrived about an hour ago, like Nursey immediately charming the socks off of Dex’s family is all some sort of prank. Like Nursey is only being polite in order to rile Dex up.

Which... Okay, fair. Dex’s annoyance is definitely a perk.

Multifandom fic recs!

I mentioned doing a fic recs list the other day, and since I couldn't work on my needlepoint for a while (in which I feel like Mr. Thorton's mother doing her linen embroidering in North & South), I actually did one.

This is a multifandom recs list because it was more fun to just skim through various fandom bookmarks than to do a concentrated list for one show or whatever. Also.. some of these are for fandoms I read in and some are just fics I stumbled across one day, so they could be representative of their fandoms or not I have no idea. {insert shrug emoji here}

These are also all m/m and I think.... fairly cis? I did consider doing some f/f and trans and Rules 63 stuff but uh my bookmarks are a mess. The only fandom where I set aside some genderfuckery aside in any sort of organized fashion is Les Mis with Rule 63 stuff which maybe should get its own post. ? If people wanted?

Anyway, read the tags for each story, etc

Fic Author Self-Rec Meme!

Thanks @sweatersinthesummer for tagging me! Choosing my 5 favorite fics is so difficult because I am simultaneously very hard on myself and very fond of all of them 😂

suddenly this summer it's clear || Check, Please! || Nursey/Dex

I’ve been overwhelmed (in a good way!) by the response to this fic. It was a labor of love and I’m very happy with how it ultimately turned out! It’s probably the funniest thing I’ve posted? At least I was giggling to myself the whole time I was writing it 😆

maybe tonight (the stars align) || Check, Please! || Nursey/Dex

I wrote this for Deck the Haus 2022 and I’m proud of how it came out. It’s not as silly as what I usually write (although it has its moments!) but I really wanted to explore feeling a bit lost after college now that the thing that defined you (hockey in this case) is no longer in your life.

compilation error || Check, Please! || Nursey/Dex

My first NurseyDex fic after obsessing over them for months! It’s loosely based on something that happened to me in college, plus, as a software engineer in real life, it was very fun to project my coding woes onto Dex 😂

on a night like this || Schitt's Creek || David/Patrick

There's only one bed but make it ✨magical✨ - I had so much fun with this one! I'd been wanting to write a magical spin on an "only one bed" fic for a year before I ended up writing this, and it turned out even sillier than I imagined!

we've got these days of summer || Schitt's Creek || David/Patrick

This was the first fic I wrote after an unintentional 8+ year writing hiatus, so it has a very special place in my heart. It also led to so many friendships and an incredible, supportive community that I will forever be grateful for ♥

Not sure who has already done this, but I will tag @swiftlythebest, @thesleepyskipper, @hullomoon, and @dinnfameron!!

#my fic #check please #schitt’s creek

[monsterhunting]

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love❤

ahh thank you so much for the ask! hmm okay the five i’m going to pick are:

who you gonna call? (aka the stoncy + robin ghost files au)

secrets i have held in my heart (my first multichap stoncy fic! nancy is dating steve and jonathan but they are not dating each other…yet)

you know i didn’t want to (have to haunt you) (aka the sambucky ghost fic)

all these people think love’s for show (but i would die for you in secret) (aka the sambucky fake dating fic)

equilibrium (junior/senior year ace nurseydex fic that i wrote 4 years ago and would probably find many things wrong with if i reread now but in my memory it was a fun and almost cathartic thing to write!)

thanks for sending it to me!!

more nurseydex fics!!!

i’ve been doing my duty properly and reading some different nurseydex fics on ao3 lately 🫡 i tried to find some that are more recent, however i inevitably found some that are older but slipped through the cracks for me.

here are some of the ones i came across that you need to read! i might make this a thing again if anyone is interested, im sure y’all have been much more on the ball with reading nurseydex fics than i have over the years but i do love reccing <3

suddenly this summer it’s clear by @dessertwaffles

The summer before senior year, Nursey and Dex become closer than ever.

Or, Nursey and Dex's developing relationship, as told through their text messages.

i was absolutely grinning the entire way through this. it’s a texting fic, with images rather than plain text (so clever!) but their personalities are so strong and their interactions are just perfect! and you know i love a texting fic

getting used to letting go by @jennybeantime

Dex was supposed to have a fancy job in some city upon graduation, but his plans changed once his uncle died and left the family home in Maine to him. Without immediate obligations of their own, Nursey, Chowder and Farmer follow Dex up there to help him clear it out and clean it up.

this fic is BEAUTIFUL. if you haven’t read it then please do yourself a favour and do it now. it captures certain feelings and emotions so effortlessly and i felt like i was in a little maine bubble living this story with them. i can’t believe i missed this one before, please please read!!

got the feeling you’re the right thing after all by @bisexualnursey

Two and a half years after he breaks up with Dex to go to grad school across the country, Nursey runs into him again when he visits New York for the holidays. What starts as them just rekindling their friendship quickly turns into a whole other thing: a 100% no-strings-attached friends with benefits arrangement while they’re in the same city.

Which is totally chill because Nursey is definitely over Dex. He swears. He’s going back to California soon anyway.

i seriously CANNOT BELIEVE i never read this before but i think i was in my inactive era when this was posted. it’s just so perfect!!! all the feelings and interactions with not only dex and nursey but all the other characters, friends and family, they all felt so real and i loved them so much. i’ll be rereading this a LOT! you should too!!

here i am (leaving you clues) by @averteddeyes

Will loves Nursey. Nursey loves Will. Will isn’t really quite sure how to deal with it.

(Alternatively: Will learns acceptance through poetry, hesitant communication, and brightly colored sticky notes.)

this is really gorgeously written. angst warning, because ouch!!! also poetry as a love language, like a really good selection of poetry, i really enjoyed it and how it weaves into the story. and the bittydex friendship is so important to me!!!

volta by @plusoultres

volta (n.) a turning point or point of change in a poem, most commonly a sonnet.

Or, five times a poem doesn’t reach its intended recipient, and one time it does; five drafts, and one work completed; five turning points, and one ending.

the second fic was inspired by this one, and thank goodness it was because this one totally slipped through the cracks and i’m so glad i read it. their banter is just brilliant and i love the variation in medium, and the poetry is beautiful! i could quote lines from this but im not going to. just. read it

things got weird (when we made out) by @andtimestoodstill

Nursey is being stupid about this. He knows he’s being stupid.

super fun and really cute, i love it when these two are just being idiots. great inclusion of the other teammates too. read it for this line alone: “[You’re doing] That thing where you forget to look like you hate Dex and just stare at him like some Victorian lady who just saw a hot dude for the first time.” because it made me laugh out loud

things that go bump in the night by @smashthatlikebitty

The first time it happens, Dex rolls over and flings so many obscenities in Nursey’s direction that even his Grandmother would have to sit down — and she cursed so much at Dex’s cousin’s wedding that the whole family has been banned from that church ever since.

Nursey just stills in the dark, one shoe off. A languid, infuriating presence. “Chill, man.”

essentially all the times nursey’s clumsy ass wakes dex up in the night. oh how i love pretending these two roomied their way into a relationship! this is so cute, smiled all the way through

some things take two people to build by @cricketnationrise

“You are the single most dramatic person I have ever met,” Dex mutters, trying valiantly to hide his grin.

Or, 5 times Dex wishes their relationship was real +1 time he doesn't have to

this was so fun, yet again i love them being idiots!!! these two in new york city is so important to me. and i for one would LOVE to read the work party 5+1 fic. just saying

#heavily considering doing more of these if anyone’s interested #also y’all are so good in this fandom it’s so INSPIRING ! #nurseydex #fic rec

(Pod)fic Rec Friday

This week’s theme is: rec a fanwork (fic, gifset, fanart, podfic - bonus points if you do multiple mediums) that made you feel warm and fuzzy inside (the ‘feel good’ fanwork). If you tag me @welcometololaland #fic rec friday, i’ll include it in the round up.

******

Oh I have some podfic recs, boy do I! But because I dabble in a bunch of fandoms, this isn't going to be Schitt's Creek only. All of these make me feel good to listen to, because the fics are wonderful and the people recording them are so, so talented. This barely skims the surface, really.

Schitt's Creek: Fifteen Hundred Miles, written by MoreHuman, read by Amanita_Fierce. This was the first podfic I ever listed to. It's a beautiful recording of a lovely fic.

Also, oh my god, Getting Over Getting Older all the Time. Shit, this was supposed to be feel-good, not angsty, huh? Well, angst makes me feel good, so there! Read by a whole cast of super talented folks.

Check Please: FINE I am going to shamelessly self-rec this one because it's so fun. I wrote it and edited the pod, but only recorded a small part. The Haus Official Ship Names by another big group of people I adore.

But also this one recorded by @cottagepodfics, a lovely Nurseydex fic written by omgericzimmermann, The Mechanics of Poetry.

Harry Potter (Drarry): Away Childish Things, written by @letteredlettered, read by @thirdeye1234. It's a masterpiece, full stop.

And I'm going to end with another self-rec, because I've podded for a bunch of fandoms, so please check them out!

Thanks for the tag, @mammameesh!

thanks for the tag @cricketnationrise

Check Please

Theatre Building, Dec. 6 by @cricketnationrise; Ford my absolute beloved! She's my favorite! And theatre! And like I'm fully biased because this was my prompt but it's so *chef's kiss*

There Have Been Five Kisses by @cricketnationrise; nurseydex 5+1 kisses, need I say more? nope you've already clicked through

Red, White, and Royal Blue

The Royal Wedding Stylist Breaks Down Prince Henry & Duke Alex Claremont-Diaz's Looks by th0ughts; are you sensing a pattern and the pattern is that I'm a former costumer rolling around in any theatre/costume adjacent fics? You'd be correct. This technically breaks the rule I set for myself of not allowing fics that start with "The" but I love it so much??? Do yourself a favor and read the whole series. Exactly what it says on the tin.

Stranger Things

takes a village by alchemystique; It's Buckingham, it's background Steddie, it's a modern AU, Chrissy has a really cute and precocious 4-year-old, it's all the found family feels, it's a treat

took you for a working boy by pukner; pukner manages to simultaneously write the most profoundly moving and gut-busting hysterical fics. Also anytime anyone says "you can't make that character trans" I read 5 more fics where the author makes a character trans. I'm fueled by spite and you're only making me more powerful.

Good Omens

Take My Hand, Take My Whole Life Too by @thebibliosphere; Have we all read it and loved it already? Don't care, still lovely, and with season 2 of the show coming up, well worth a revisit. Joy has a Pratchettesque style to begin with, which just makes it even better.

Star Wars (sequel trilogy)

Tomorrow (there'll be more of us) by dirmircharmer; someone on here was recently complaining that the movies didn't do enough with Finn defecting and the ways that could have led other Stormtroppers to as well. This fills that gap; also check out all the related fic at the bottom of it for more.

MCU

take it or leave it by kellifer_fic; The year was two thousand and a number I shan't say so I don't have to confront the passage of time. Everything was great, I still had faith in humanity, the MCU had not yet completely shit the bed and absolutely exhausted my patience. This is Clint x Darcy, which is not everyone's cup of tea, but mostly it's a very funny story about superheros attempting to lay low as normal people and mostly being pretty bad at it.

i'm tagging: @vhenadahls @appalamutte @starthecozy @dancemakestheworldgoround @zimmerdouche

#fic rec friday #fic recs #it's still technically friday because I haven't gone to sleep yet #so also excuse any typos it is almost 2am #part of me is like '8 fics seems excessive for this' #and the other part of me is like 'but they're all so good and everyone should read all of them'

I Think I’m Growing Into Someone You Could Trust by thechoicewasallmine

Words: 44,800; Chapters: 8/10; Comments: 253; Kudos: 427

"I want to help you, Poindexter, I really do. You're important to this team and the organization is proud to have you; but, son, I can't fix what I don't know about." Coach’s gaze drills right into Will's carefully crafted armor when he pleads, "You've got to talk to us."

One conversation at a time, Dex learns to stop hiding from his team and, ultimately, from himself.

May We Lift Each Other Up 11

if we bite (the pain is sweet) NurseyDex (OMGCP), 57162 words, Explicit by @geniusorinsanity (AO3)

After two and a half semesters at Samwell, Dex has gotten used to people handling their stress in weird ways. Bitty bakes up a storm, Lardo is constantly covered in what Dex really, really hopes is paint, Ransom turns into a curled-up ball of anxiety on the nearest flat surface. He gets it: people are just weird here.

That doesn’t mean he doesn’t choke on his Red Bull when Nursey sighs, “God, I’m so tense right now. I just really need to suck a dick, y’know?”

(Or: five times Dex and Nursey really don’t quite know what they’re doing, and one time they’ve really, really figured it out.)

Okay, first, shellybelle is one of my absolute fav OMCP authors, and they’re another one where I trust their writing. NurseyDex are one of my favorite pairs in OMCP - there’s just so much room for tension and angst and FEELINGS (and we all know how much I dig that stuff).  

I am also a serious fan of the 5x/1x structure (why have I never written it??), and this one is so wonderfully done!

As always, read the tags, but this one is great!

This story was absolutely breathtaking. My favorite thing about nurseydex fics is when they have poetry and the poem in this one is astoundingly beautiful. Thanks @mainehoe for the story.
