After several pleasurable minutes of making out, Jack guided them toward the bed, which made an alarming creak as it absorbed both of their weight. “My lord! If the whole Haus didn’t hear that—” Eric could barely stifle his giddy laughter.

“Cockblocked by the bed,” Jack said, deadpan. “There’s always the floor.” He slid off of the bed and began unrolling the sleeping bag on the floor.

“There is no way we are sleeping in that,” Eric declared as Jack smoothed it out. “Lord, that thing barely fits Frankie, there’s no way your, um—”

THEMMM (random AU)

#zimbits #omgcp #omgcp au #jack zimmermann #eric bittle #love them sm

[parvuls]

I know I keep dropping random au ideas everywhere like a trail of breadcrumbs, but listen, I just had this thought:

bitty is a single dad to a six-year-old kid. and this kid is, uh, bitty's kid? and therefore has big brown eyes and an adorable little nose and also killer adhd. it was honestly a constant battle to get them to work on their writing/reading skills through first grade.

but that summer the kid goes to summer camp for the first time, and comes back smiley and sun-burnt and telling bitty all about mr. z, who is apparently now one of their favorite people and also somehow got bitty's kid to sit down and read at camp. possibly by using magic, because bitty has certainly tried bribe before (to no avail).

so when bitty's kid begs him for help writing letters to mr. z over the school year... well. it's in bitty's best parenting interest to say yes, isn't it?

#omgcheckplease #omgcp #zimbits #jack and bitty becoming pen pals through bitty's kid is not something I knew would take over my evening. but here we are #seriously if I had a nickle for every au I posted here for nothing but my own amusement I'd be RICH #if only I had the time to turn them into fics ahhhh #y'all KNOW how much I love epistolary #text #prompts #jack x bitty

Since the authors/artists were revealed today: Here's one of the pieces for @omgauplease, this one for the prompt "Daemon AU"! Bitty's daemon is a bunny and Jack's a canada goose. (Inprnt ♡)

#omgcp #omgcp fanart #zimbits #omgauplease #jack zimmermann #eric bittle #the bunny is Darla and the goose is Nicolette :3 #I think the choices are pretty obvious but I almost didnt make them like that! I gave up in the end because: cute #I linked their separate drawings on the post! #inspired by the book series His Dark Materials in which Daemons are an external representation of one's soul but in animal form #it made me dive into animal art which is something I've wanted for so long!

Summary:  Eric Bittle’s a hopeless romantic! Not exactly a great trait for someone who is perpetually lonely. His only hope at romance is his crush on the mystery man he serves at the While You Were Sleeping Cafe. His crush takes an unexpected turn when he saves him while being mugged and gets mistaken for the man’s fiance. Could this finally be a chance at romance for Bitty? Not if Mystery Man’s brother, Jack, has something to say about it.

A Zimbits AU based on the movie, While You Were Sleeping.

Chapter 1: Mystery Man and Life's Plan is up.

Eric joined Jack on the bare mattress, careful to put some distance between them. In the past, Jack had never minded when Eric held him when he was upset, but Eric didn’t know what the rules were anymore. Maybe he hadn’t yet re-earned the right to be that person for Jack.

“I talked to Lardo,” he told Jack. “They’re at a bar just off campus. The guys have cooled off some, and are ready to come back and listen to what you have to say. Are you ready? I can ask Lardo to stall if you need some time.”

“I’m ready. My parents said I should tell them everything, since it’s out there now. ”

Eric gave Jack’s knee a reassuring pat. “They’ll understand once you’ve explained.”

Jack snorted. “I guess your schedule’s gone to shit, hasn’t it? Sorry about that.”

“Don’t worry about that. Schedules are overrated.”

“I tried to tell you.”

“You can’t win this one on a technicality, Mr. Zimmermann. How are you doing?”

Jack huffed out a laugh. “The thing about years of therapy, and having a kid, and maybe getting older in general, is that I’ve gotten better at self-regulating. I’ve never wanted to have a panic attack in front of Abby. Not because I want to hide that part of myself, but because it would upset her.”

“I get that.” How many times had Eric waited until Frankie had gone to bed to break down? More than he ever wanted to admit.

“So it helped that she was here. And you, too. It helps that you’re here, and knew what to do. Thank you.”

“Well, it’s like you said. Having a kid, and being a teacher in my case, makes a difference. As much as I plan for things to go a certain way, stuff happens, and a classroom full of middle schoolers without direction is a recipe for trouble. It’s similar to hockey, really. You get good at thinking on your feet.”

“No.” There was an urgent tone in Jack’s voice, and his gaze didn’t stray from Eric’s face. “Don’t downplay it. You really helped. You didn’t have to stay. I lied to you, too. But you stayed.”

Chapter 5 is now on ao3!

[ID: 1. Knees up of bitty from the ancient tattoo au on a white background. His hair is undercut with the top slicked back and dyed red and his torso and arms are covered in tattoos including a few pride colors, a line from Halo, a rabbit, and a pie recipe. He also has several facial piercings, hoops in both nipples, a tattoo choker, and black nails. He is standing shirtless, pants unbuttoned and studded belt undone, with a bleach-stained black shirt in one hand and the other gathering the free end of his belt. He turns, smiling offscreen as he hears a "ding" from the door. He calls, "Welcome to 'Bits 'n Pierces'! I'll be right with you!" 2. Shot of Bitty's bare back as he turns to walk off, pulling his shirt over his head. From offscreen behind him, a single heart drifts up from the floor. /End ID]

WHY was bitty undressed in the back of his own tattoo shop? That’s for the florist next door to know and you to find out.

[appalamutte]

A bag is dropped in the chair across from Eric, and when he looks up from his phone and half-cold bowl of pasta, he finds Camilla Collins standing before him.

“Oh,” he says through a mouthful of penne, struggling to swallow it as quick as possible. It hurts a bit when he finally gets it down. “Hi, there!”

Camilla goes to sit down beside her bag and smiles sweetly over at him. “Hey. Eric, right?”

“Yup, though everyone really just calls me Bitty -- because of my last name, not my size.” Eric screams internally. “Anyway, you didn’t need to know that, sorry.”

Camilla just chuckles and props her elbows onto the table, resting her head on her fist. She’s staring at him like she knows something, but her gaze still looks a bit inquisitive. It’s disconcerting, really. Eric knows she’s Jack’s ex, or ex-hook up, or whatever. Holster and Ransom always mention her at Haus parties when Jack’s clockwork absence is noticed, drunkenly cheering about finally getting her back in bed, and Shitty has vaguely confirmed they were involved with each other on more than one occasion. But no one has ever given Eric a straight answer on Jack’s and Camilla’s history.

It’s not like he’s been able to ask about it much, though, either. Eric’s pretty sure Shitty’s starting to pick up on his hopeless schoolground crush with all the questions, and he can’t even look Lardo in the eye when Camilla’s name is brought up anymore. He can only say a silent prayer of relief that Holster and Ransom are too preoccupied with personal endeavors to notice anything, because he’s certain he’d never hear the end of it from them if they knew.

And no matter what, having said crush’s ex-something sitting before him makes the pasta Eric just swallowed sit uneasily in his stomach.

“Bitty, that’s cute,” Camilla says, and it’s not condescending in any way. “You’re on the hockey team, right? With Jack?”

Eric tries to give a humored smile. “What, do I not look the part?”

“Not at all,” Camilla easily smiles with him, “but I like that. There’s too many meatheads on that team. We’ve been needing someone like you for a long time.”

“Hah, yeah,” Eric says, absentmindedly twisting his fork in the pasta, “good thing I’m here then. Those boys finally have actual dinners rather than microwaved bagel bites. And that kitchen when I moved in? An absolute biohazard, lemme tell you. I think I spent a week scrubbing everything, and another full day just cleaning the inside of the fridge. There was also a cabinet solely for sriracha, and, like, really? I think they had at least thirty bottles of it.”

Eric knows he’s babbling on now, but Camilla has this sparkle in her eye and she’s listening so intently that Eric has to catch himself from letting more unnecessary words tumble out. “And now I’m just rambling,” he finishes with an awkward laugh, “sorry about that.”

“You don’t have to apologize so much,” Camilla tells him, “it’s cute. You’re cute.”

Eric blinks and, with the way she’s looking at him, blurts: “Are you hitting on me?”

“What?” Camilla sits back suddenly. They just stare at each other, both wide-eyed, before they both laugh loud enough for the tables around them to turn their heads. Eric laughs, and laughs, and he thinks at some point Camilla is still laughing just because he’s still laughing. He can’t stop, though. Her laugh is light and airy, a melodic sound that matches everything else about her. It’s nearly perfect. And Eric’s own sounds too shrill and uncontrolled, so he just laughs harder because his heart is plummeting and when he stops it’ll be all too real that he’ll never stand a chance with Jack -- especially if he really was with Camilla at some point.

Which is pathetic because Jack is straight. His ex sitting before Eric with blinding beauty is only adding insult to that injury.

Finally, after too long, Eric wipes at the tears in his eyes and takes a shaky breath. “I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to ask that,” he says when they’ve calmed down enough. “I don’t know why I even did.”

“I was coming on pretty strong, wasn’t I?” Camilla runs a hand through her hair, pushing it out of her face in the process. They have the same hair color. “I’m sorry for that.”

“No -- don’t apologize!”

She waves a hand dismissively, and Eric watches it, unable to stop from comparing his calloused ones to her soft-looking ones. “Anyway, I just wanted to come by and meet you for myself. Jack told me you’d be here.”

Eric nods and desperately tries not to blush. His cheeks heat up anyway. “Yeah, cold pasta always helps after bio lecture.”

“I bet,” Camilla says, and there’s that glint in her eyes again when she continues: “I’ve heard a lot about you, Bitty.”

“You have?”

“Yeah. He’d be stupid not to go for you.” At first, Eric thinks he wasn’t supposed to hear that with how quiet her voice fell. But then her gaze quickly drops down to his body, then to his hair, before meeting his eyes again, and he’s definitely meant to hear: “He really does have a type, too.”

Eric blinks, opens his mouth but finds he can’t say anything, and Camilla bids him farewell with a promise that he come by and watch a tennis match sometime. Maybe he waves, though he isn’t sure. He just watches her leave, winding through the tables until she’s out the door and there’s nothing but his rapidly beating heart and bright red cheeks left in her wake.

He has a type? 

Then, twisting up the cold pasta in his stomach one more time:

Who’s he?

#omgcp #check please #eric bittle #camilla collins #zimbits #my writing #this is a little au-timeline where jack realizes his feelings before graduation #and i can't stop thinking about a jack and camilla friendship #where he confides in her about his feelings for bitty

i am still in omgcp brainrot and this fandom has too little aus.

WHERE IS MY PACIFIC RIM CONTENT. Kent and Jack as the rising stars, two drift-compatible pilots who are partnered together, famous for reaching the previously thought impossible drift sync rate of 100%. Slaying kaiju together under the command of Jack’s father and mother, Marshall Bad Bob Zimmermann and Commander Alicia Zimmermann, until the stress of being the world’s best Jaeger piloters and defense agains the kaiju gets to Jack. They desync in the midst of a battle against the first-ever Cat 4 Kaiju, with the stress and arguments leading up to it unbeknownst to everyone, Jack comatose in the cockpit while Kent has to take on the strain of piloting the Jaeger alone and slay the kaiju. And afterwards, while Kent is recuperating from the mental strain of piloting a Jaeger alone - another first - and being hailed as the world’s golden ray of hope, Jack…. disappears.

Two years later Kent hunts down Jack, only to find that Jack’s now the Marshall of his own little Shatterdome out in Providence after ghosting him for two whole years, with the only evidence of him being alive a few prods and sensations from a rapidly-fading Ghost Drift. And when Kent requests a transfer to Providence, he quickly realises a few things -

- one, that Jack is in no way fit to pilot ever again, thanks to the mental and physical damage he suffered in the battle,

- two, he refuses to see Kent even though his transfer has been approved,

- and three, that Jack has moved on and is in love with one of the LOCCENT mission controllers, a guy named Eric “Bitty” Bittle.

(Bittle bakes REALLY good pies. Kent can’t even hate him for that.)

Worst of all, his empty partner spot is going to be reassigned, because even though he’s been defending himself against the recruits in the Kwoon Room with all his might, one of the Ranger pairs in Providence is being dissolved. Snowy is retiring with full honors after wanting to focus on raising his niece, her mother killed in a recent Kaiju attack, which leaves Kent free to be assigned to Snowy’s old partner - Alexei ‘Tater’ Mashkov.

And judging from the way the Russian Ranger slammed him into the mats in the training room, picked him up and called him a “little rat”, Mashkov doesn’t like him, either…

i just have a lot of thoughts about omgcp in the pacrim universe.
