So apparently I read this fic in 2020 and loved it - and just rediscovered it a few nights ago. It'd been 5 years so it was new to me all over again (I love how this happens!).
Basically if you're in the Check, Please! fandom and you like Nursey/Dex, you should read this fic. It's a long fic - 5 chapters of 10,000+ words each - that tracks Dex's emotional growth from when he was a taddy to his junior year. It integrates with the webcomic so much that it's like the story behind the scenes. Dex goes through some really challenging situations, from homophobic family members to coming to terms with his crush on Nursey. I love when my boy gets to go on an emotional growth spurt, and this fic has it in abundance.

One of the best fics in the fandom. Hands down.
