Omg okay I need to check out MattDrai, my fave ship so far has been Kane/ Toewes, sooo many good fics but I'm realising it's maybe just the height difference thing for me? Haha

I've for sure read my fair share of Kane/Toewes or 1988 as I believe we used to call it lol There isn't going to be any height difference with MattDrai - Matthew and Leon are literally the same height 💀 BUT the enemies to lovers and "I'd get off the ice" is just SO GOOD. Love to come across more Hockey RPF humans in The 1975 fandom! Maybe one day I'll actually... finish my MattDrai fic that I haven't updated since August 😂

Thank you so much for sending this ask! I hope you had a great day and that you are having a wonderful week!

❤️Ally

the loss of a friend by fearsparks

hockey rpf - Jamie/Tyler - angst without a happy ending - pet death

Jamie finds Tyler sobbing violently on the floor one afternoon and tries to comfort him while figuring out what has caused his breakdown.

#I’m editing and moving some of my old stuff to ao3 #so I can have everything in one place #hockey fic #hockey rpf fic #idk what tags to use for this #it's a hockey rpf fic and not a 1d fic #fearsparks #pet death tw #bennguin #bennguin fic #nhl fic

BENNGUIN FANFIC

"Here..."

Jamie grabbed a black marker from the nearby table of the equipment manager and briefly looked for a piece of paper around only to end up seizing Tyler's hand and writing his phone number down on the top of his hand where the younger's remarkable ink game wasn't reaching yet.

"...Text me your address once you find out what it is and I will stop by."

"Wow, feels like a Hollywood movie scene of a high school girl finally receiving the phone number of her crush." Beaming like an idiot at the improvised way of receiving the older's number as he had been promised earlier on, Tyler's enthusiasm left Jamie snorting in amused disbelief but surprisingly playing along.

"Yeah, you can get it inked if you want to, darling."

or - the years that followed Tyler's trade to Dallas

tfw you read a good fic but it's been orphaned and when you eventually track down the OP to see if they wrote anymore stuff they're all "I HATE hockey rpf now and regret that I ever wrote that GARBAGE". damn, chill 😅

#and no they only had the one mcdrai fic sadly #the only other hockey fics they wrote were bennguin which... well maybe if I'm desperate 😮‍💨 #text #fic rec

The reason I don’t do WIPs?!

This beautiful fic right here! It’s my favorite fic in the whole wide world, across all the fandoms I’ve been in, and has been three chapters shy of being finished since 2015.

I love love love love love it to pieces and it STILL huuuuurts my heart that it’ll probably never get it’s ending. (Mind you, it could’ve ended at worse moments, but still)

#no one is surprised by my fav fic being a Bennguin fic right?! #the only fic I love more than MN #i need to read this again #i haven’t read it in years #i love this fic to the moon and back

Fics that got you into hrpf/Seattle kraken rpf?

I first got into hrpf through the rookie kneeling trope, which should definitely be brought back by the way. Then I slowly progressed to Sidgeno (and became absolutely enamored/obsessed with Sid and the Pens through it), then I started branching out to 1988, Mattdrai, and Bennguin. Soon, I migrated from an old fandom that I had kinda outgrew to this one and began writing hrpf!

To this day, I don't remember who did it, but SOMEONE commented on one of my fics asking if I would ever consider writing Vince Dunn/Adam Larsson. I had no idea who those people were, but I realized they were from the Kraken and that's my home team/the team I decided to root for in the playoffs, so I thought "Why not?"

Haven't looked back since. ;) My debut post on Tumblr was actually a promo for SITDW (which was my first real, dedicated, well-researched and well-characterized larsdunn fic) and it went from there!

dee's january 2024 fic recs

ok so. i thought i'd do a fic rec list every month this year of just my favourite fics that got bookmarked in the month (not necessarily written in the past month) that had just passed... i was a bit busy for the past few days but FINALLY i got the chance to sit down so!!

(if you want to play fic roulette here's some blind links otherwise!! enjoy under the cut

1 2 3 4 5 6)

3:30 by sevenfists

pairing: sidney crosby/evgeni malkin rating: E words: 11k summary: Napping with Sid would be inconvenient, embarrassing, and more than a little gay, and maybe Zhenya was a little gay, but he didn’t need to advertise it.

i LOVE "oh this thing we do together has become a routine now we Have to do it before games" fics and you should too!! this one is So cute i love it....

waiting for confessions of love by catchingpapermoons

pairing: jamie drysdale/trevor zegras/mason mctavish rating: M words: 41k summary: “I’ll be so real with you, man,” Trevor says, pulling back. “I had no fucking idea you liked dudes.”

one thing about me is that i am an absolute sucker for miscommunication and will love it at all costs and this fic DELIVERS!!!! and so well!!

high into the blue by idday

pairing: jack eichel/connor mcdavid rating: T words: 10k summary: Lieutenant John Eichel of the United States Navy – Boston to his squadron and Jack to the people who matter – is reckless and cocky and too smug for his own damn good. But even Connor has to admit that the boy can goddamn fly. (Captain Connor McDavid, Royal Canadian Air Force, is by the book in the worst way, conservative and careful and liable to get himself killed out there. Jack shouldn’t be impressed by him. He really shouldn’t.)

when i tell you i SCREAMED when i got the notif for this fic and then immediately went and watched top gun.,.... if you know me you know anything idday puts out i literally eat up like mceichel is the only thing that will ever sustain me ever again and this was NO exception,,,, always a pleasure to be able to experience an idday fic is what i say

play your heart out by ribena

pairing: leon draisaitl/connor mcdavid rating: M words: 4k summary: Connor loses his heart. Leon finds it for the both of them.

oughh./.. ouhhh.... what even to say.... clutches my heart (lol)...... beautiful..... i literally screamed cried went through it..... please read like literally begs you

nobody wins afraid of losing by adelphenium

pairing: tyler bertuzzi/dylan larkin rating: E words: 12k summary: It’s been almost a year since the first trade. It’s been just a few weeks since they last saw each other, facing off on the ice here in Toronto. In all the months since the Boston run, Tyler’s done nothing but read Dylan’s texts from the notifications bar like a sad and filthy sack of shit, too weak not to feel a thrill whenever a Saw that goal, what a beauty berts or a Hope you’re sleeping ok came through. Or: Tyler and Dylan during the 2024 bye week.

"hey you bookmarked this one on december 31st" IM PUTTING IT IN JANUARY!!!!! PLEASE READ THIS FIC!!!!! not only did jamie adelphenium write it but its just. it has shaped the way i view tyler bertuzzi and sparked a love for mr hockey butt himself..... what a good fic yall please read

reserve your ardors by wrightsworth

pairing: jamie benn/tyler seguin rating: E words: 9k summary: Jamie was in over his head. He had been out of his depth for months if he was being honest, ever since he picked Seggy up from the airport that first time in the humid Dallas air and his Omega genes decided to make themselves known, and loudly.

it wouldnt be me without some good old bennguin and RAHH pining and omegaverse and unrequited-requited and miscommunication like what else could you want in a fic its so good

#fic recs

[theemporium]

cece your hockey boys are almost all the younger generation/new guys, like yeah the hughes dominance is good but nothing will compare to hockeyblr pre-2019 like if you're into homoerotic hockeyships and potential poly you need to check out bennguin, sidgeno, brioux was literally married with kids

LISTEN

please drop the lore any time, I’m so very intrigued. a lot of the wee older hockeyships are name dropped or vaguely mentioned in fics so my knowledge is very, very limited

#cece answers

[workingforitallthetime]

oooh do you have any other fic recs (of any hockey rpf pairing)?

anything in my ao3 bookmarks i would recommend! but i often don't bookmark my favorite writers because it's quicker for me to just get to their entire works via my subscriptions list. below are some of my faves from writers whose entire catalogue i'd recommend:

Fake Dating Your Lab Partner and Other Foolproof Ways To Have The Best Year Ever (trevor/mason) -- my favorite comfort read. absolutely nails the friendship, the trevor/mason dynamic, the side characters, everything.

How the Future Knew (tk/patty) -- a ship i've moved on from but i still come back to this fic

May these memories break our fall (gavin/seamus) -- exactly the fic we needed about CBJ writing seamus out of gavin's narrative

take me home tonight (thom/brendan) -- really gets at the uncomfy darker side of this pairing

Front Runner (bennguin) -- i love this fic because i kept waiting for the big bad thing to happen and it was such a relief when it never did and yet it still felt like a wonderfully complete story anyway

interplanetary fall (j.t./tyson) -- the theme is that i like fic where nothing too terrible happens

in the stillness, boys, clear water till the bottom (joel/morgan) -- one of my favorite scenes ever of gross boys being gross

heel (nate/e.j.) -- beautiful achey writing

#anonymouskinis #i love everyone in this bar #hilarious that this list includes almost none of my favorite ships #truly i must write the fic i want to see in the world

9 people you'd like to get to know better

tagged by @beforewecame <33333 i'm posting this on this account bc i've never really had people to talk about hrpf with so um the 5 followers i have here you can consider yourself tagged if you see this jhdsfkljhsjak

List 3 ships you like: okay these are the only 3 ships i ever consistently read hrpf since i got into hockey 7 years ago. 1. sidgeno beloved why are there so many amazing writers for this ship you've awakened so many things for me dkjhffkjhsa 2. bennguin like 2017 was getting in on the end of the high of this ship but what the fuck were those two on back then 3. ...... sid and seggy dljkslhfdljk it's how different they are that does it for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ there's a few fics on ao3 that i could just reread over and over again for them can't help it

(but thanks to y'all nooooooow all the wild ships are entering my brain <3 i think it used to feel too close to home so i didn't venture too far into those in the past kjshfskljhf)

First ship ever: nejiten from naruto beloveds <3

Last song you heard: rose colored boy.....

Favorite childhood book: looooooved the junie b jones series

Currently reading: been working my way through the fics of one of the people responsible for getting me into hockey bc in all the years!!! i've followed her!!!! i somehow just figured out she wrote hrpf under a completely separate account!!! and i even recognized her pseudonym!!!! i might have yelled at her a little when she told me

Currently watching: i swear all i've been watching lately is hockey or lethal company vods sdkljfhsjh one day i'll watch a tv show again

Currently consuming: thinking about eating a piece of chocolate zucchini bread... also water bc i drank almost NONE today

Currently craving: a working brain <3

[linskywords]

It feels like there's been a Stars fic-renaissance in the past year, so there's definitely a lot to catch up on!!! Someone set up a team specific fic fest at some point which I can't even remember happening during the peak of Bennguin! Happy reading and good luck in managing all the shippable guys, haha

Haha, it's no joke!! I've been catching up on hockey RPF from the past year recently since I hadn't been doing a good job following it, but of course the stuff that floats to the top is all major pairings (hello, mattdrai). Clearly I have to keep going and get to all the rarepairs out there!

Okay updates on my hockey ~descent~

I've been reading a bit of bennguin and that was pretty good, I've been looking at some vids and I swear when Tyler got into a fight after someone took a cheap shot at Jamie 😭 like why do I care so much about that?? Anyway I have also just finished reading closed fracture by lightgetsin and it was so lovely <3 so looking for some more recs for sidgeno if you have them! (also why are there (((( all over the place sometimes? I've seen a few in fics and in tweets?) I do really like the Penguins logo and jerseys so maybe I'll follow them closer when things get moving a bit more, its the off season now right? Some other ships I'm a fan of is sterek from teen wolf, Sirius/Remus from hp, Macdennis from iasip, steve/bucky - just pretty basic ones lel 😬

oooooh i'm so excited to answer this okay okay. thank you for the update i love this!

tyler seguin is everyone's favorite slutty bisexual. go bananas in his tag (just #tyler seguin or #seguin) on tumblr and you'll find some great shit. that ship doesn't get as much attention anymore bc benn isn't fandom's favorite. i don't know enough about the stars to know all the reasons, but he did a very dirty and unneccessary hit on the vegas golden knights captain in the playoffs this year and that was enough to make me not like him. i can rec some stars blogs if you want - they are a great team with a solid fandom presence and a lot of young amazing players. and they have seggy :)

um, if you love boys being overprotective on the ice, i can definitely give you some pens moments but ALSO you should look into tknp (travis konecny/nolan patrick). i think i have a #protective tk tag on here you can browse bc the boy goes batshit insane anytime someone touches his boy. one of the big reasons a lot of us fell for that ship. you don't have to be a flyers fan to love them; tk is a fandom darling bc he's so tiny and fighty and wonderful.

also, any decent player is very protective of their goalie, so if you love that dynamic, you might enjoy some defenseman/goalie pairings or there's just some fun clips and gifs out there. i'll try to reblog some stuff for you. give my poor followers a break from the rwrb posting and tzp thirst 😂

DON'T GET ME STARTED ON SIDGENO OH GOD. okay i'll reblog a few posts for them because the things they say about each other are just. alright. you're in love. we get it. okay.

King and Lionheart is the fic that made me fall for sidgeno. There is an excellent podfic available as well.

I could give you a billion sidgeno recs and writers and blogs to follow. What kind of fic do you like? Fluff? Whump? PWP? Kink? ABO? Monsterfuckery? Sidgeno is the most popular hockey rpf ship at least by numbers on ao3; we got it all, baby! I read a lot of angst and porn, so I don't want to throw a bunch of recs at you without knowing what you like :)

((( and )))))))) are russian smileys... so you're probably reading Geno texting. So instead of texting (or tweeting - you can see these in some of his old tweets): i'll be there soon :) he would text i'll be there soon )))

we ARE in the offseason but hockey comes back (relatively) soon. preseason games (exhibition games that don't count towards playoff standings) start at the end of september and the season kicks off in October. The Penguins season opener is vs the Chicago Blackhawks which should be a VERY fun game to watch, bc Chicago drafted Connor Bedard this year, one of the best hockey prospects since Sid himself. Bedard is insanely talented and we are all very eager to see how he does in the NHL. Sid was Bedard's favorite player growing up (he is so many players' favorite player growing up) and they've met and they are both very sweet boys and anyway it will be an interesting game.

Stucky was my first ship since really diving into fandom and I spent a ton of time in Teen Wolf fandom! There's a ton of teen wolf on my ao3, mostly sterek, but i mostly write hockey these days.

feel free to keep sending me questions! there's a lot to learn when you first dive into hockey but i love the sport and love this fandom!!

#fightmillk #ask grace #i'll reblog some stuff for you!

Three ships? Well NurseyDex and Sterek continue to rule my fic writing. As far as a third one goes... I guess it rotates pretty much constantly. Pynch, Bennguin, Destiel, Zimbits...

First ever ship? I think the first one I posted fic for and interacted with others online about was either John/Aeryn or Josh/Donna. But maybe it was Spike/Buffy? Man, that was so long ago. But my first ship outside of the internet was probably Meg and Cal from A Wrinkle in Time.

Last song? 3rd Planet has been stuck in my head ever since it came up a couple days ago, but the last song I actually listened to was something off of Carrie & Lowell (Or else, do theme songs count? Because I just finished listening to the MBMBAM naming of 2023...)

Last movie? Rewatched Glass Onion as soon as it hit netflix. Haven't had a chance to dive into anything new since.

Currently reading? I have trouble only reading one book at a time, so here's what's in the rotation at the moment: Novelist as a Vocation by Haruki Murakami, Ducks by Kate Beaton, Loathe to Love You by Ali Hazelwood, The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stievfater (reread), and Babel by R. F. Kuang

Currently watching? I'm on the last couple eps of Crash Landing On You that I keep taking my time with because I don't want it to end. In the middle of a Severance rewatch. Just started Andor. Been leisurely catching up on Bob's Burgers. About to start rewatching Sasaki and Miyano since the DVDs just arrived.

Currently consuming? Coffee. But I had an onion bagel earlier that was pretty dang good.

Currently craving? The ability to escape to the wilderness and sever all forms of modern communication for a month or so. Also some Thai food sounds awesome.

Tagging: I have no idea who has already done this, and have not tagged anyone for anything on Tumblr in years lol so please feel free to ignore @mad-madam-m, @rhysiana, @gayjamesbond, @bookgeekgrrl, @officialbabayaga, @bibliosexxual, @annundriel, @porcupine-girl, @the-apocrypha, @omgdexnursey, @zimms, @andavs

Because duh!!!!! It's hot and it's sweet and tender and loving and ugh it's everything I love and on top of that it's by Andie so...

i wake with your memory over me (that's a real fucking legacy) by coffeecatsme (rwrb)

it was sooooo fucking good, broke my heart & made me cry and then put it back together. SO! FUCKING! GOOD!!!

not because he owns me (Bennguin)

angst & slow burn & bdsm This one also broke my heart because post Bruins Segs ALWAYS breaks my heart and then Jamie put mine and Tylers heart back together. I'm also living for all the Bruins hate in this fic because FUCK THE BRUINS!!!!
