Community Recs Post!

[glitteryv]

Every Thursday, we have a community post, just like this one, where you can drop a rec or five in the comments.

This works great if you only have one rec and don't want to make a whole post for it, or if you don't have a DW account, or if you're shy. ;)

(But don't forget: you can deffo make posts of your own seven days a week. ;D!)

So what cool fanvids/fics/fancrafts/fanart/podfics/other kinds of fanworks have we discovered this week? Drop it in the comments below. Anon comment is enabled.

Check, Please! Nursey/Dex fic

[squidgiepdx]

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.

Is there a link there that I'm not spotting, or did it get missed? Because I'm pretty keen on Nursey/Dex :)

Thank YOU! Sometimes it feels like I'm one of the only Nursey/Dex and/or Check, Please! fans out there, so it's good to see there are definitely others. :)
