Been missing you guys :((

<3

Hey friends. As some of you might have figured out, our queue ran out last week and we’ve kind of just let it go. Honestly, life has kind of got the best of all three of us lately and keeping up with this has fallen to the wayside.

This is not a “goodbye” post though, we’re not done. We all still enjoy running this rec blog and interacting with you all. so we’ve decided to just take a little break through the end of the year and we’ll see y’all sometime in january!

Who knows, maybe we’ll queue up a few reblogs of some old faves so you can go back and re-read some goodies or maybe catch one you missed. 

much love! - @frostbeees

Thinking about making a comeback by theaa

jamie drysdale/trevor zegras (ducks) | 11k | mature

“Going once. Going twice. Going three times — to — would you like to let everyone know your name, sir?”

Dylan leans over the stage and to the right, where the dude’s voice had been coming from. The mic squeals for a second before he cuts through.

“Trevor. Trevor Zegras.”

There’s some collective murmuring from the audience.

Jamie doesn’t know a Trevor Zegras. Does he?

- or Jamie signs himself up to a charity date auction, against his better judgement.

rec comments: This was the cutest meet-cute. To read if you’re sad or simply if you wanna smile, a lot. It’s just very sweet and tender, but also funny and a little hot. The way Jamie can read the small shifts of Trevor’s expressions from the very beginning, the flirting à la Trevor, the cool side characters. Very feel good fic. - @macknnons

Just Hear Me Out by RemyJane

nicklas backstrom/alexander ovechkin (caps) | 22k | teen and up

Greenie had broken it up for it could escalate further, but Alex got the sense that Nicky would still like the chance to punch him, and honestly the feeling was mutual. ———

A world where Nicky and Alex don’t immediately like each other. Slow burn getting together, some soft boy moments, and coffee.

rec comments: I was a little curious when I read the caps on this and the Ennemies to Friends to Lovers because the concept of Ovi/Nicke as ennemies is a little wild to me (like, I’m not gonna rank any pairing but they are among the most married of them all, the recent commercial probably even puts them first). Anyway, gave this a try and it was really interesting. A different take on the Nicke I’m more used to read but good nonetheless. - @macknnons

field study by @tarcanza​

patrick kane/jonathan toews (hawks) | 14k | explicit

“Magic fingers, baby,” Patrick gives a greasy smirk.

Jonny attempts a withering glare. There’s too much fluster in the scrunch of his face and the pink of his cheeks for it to do anything other than make him look like an angry kitten.

“You’re a dumbfuck,” Jonny snaps, because he’s a total lameass crank. Patrick head butts him for his complete lack of manners.

or: In which Patrick follows his heart into putting his hand on Jonny’s dick—and then a bunch of dickheads show up.

rec comments: my first reaction when finishing this fic was simply “HOLY FUCK”. this is one of the hottest things i’ve read in a long time and i was excited to see this one pop up since i just recently did a deep dive into the “semi public sex” tag in hrpf - @pattyrosyteeks​

Ergo: Homo by R_Knight

andré burakovsky/nick sorensen, andré burakovsky/tom wilson, andré burakovsky/others (avs/others) | 13K | explicit

In which André no-homos his way through casual sex, bro-snuggles and the discovery of something between his captain and his A, before Braden kindly hits him with a clue bat.

Or: self-discovery is a bitch.

rec comments: Love me a good character study fic and this one didn’t miss. I always love André as a character (well, and André IRL period, but you know what I mean) and this was really interesting. I really wanted to hug him and talk sense into him but he gets there on his own in the end (with a little help), it’s great. - @macknnons

nico hischier/nolan patrick (devils/knights) | 32k | explicit

Nolan finds out he’s been traded in the middle of a hot summer day in Winnipeg.

rec comments: Yo I know you love to hear about my life so know that I found this at work at 4pm and finished it at midnight that same day because it really sucked me in and was so easy to read with the flow going and everything. Loved the side characters and the way their relationships with Nolan was built. And the Nico/Nolan was obviously really good. Friends to Lovers excellence with healthy pining and shit. - @macknnons

your favorite darkness by tedda (@jonny-toews​)

patrick kane/jonathan toews (hawks) | 6,3k | explicit

"Did you put me in a Hawks sweater?" he asks, letting Jonny pull his arms back down, a smile tugging on the corners of his mouth.

"I miss seeing you like this." Jonny's lips brush along his neck as he talks, his arms sliding back around Patrick's waist, slipping under the jersey and onto his bare stomach, fingers splayed wide. "I miss playing with you and watching you on the ice."

rec comments: maybe, just maybe, i finished beta reading tedda’s in-progress fic and decided to read her entire catalogue on AO3 :) i had a feeling from all the tags that i was gonna love this one and i wasn’t wrong. its absolutely perfect - @pattyrosyteeks​

Saving the Best for Last by puckingtrash

leon draisaitl/matthew tkachuk (oilers/flames) | 101k | explicit

Falling in love in your twenties is easy. Letting yourself fall in love in your forties is a lot harder. Especially when you find it in unexpected places.

Leon Draisaitl is not expecting to find love again at forty-three. His playing career is long over, he’s divorced, he’s got a bum hip, his only real asset is about half of a floundering German hockey team. Hell, even his hair isn’t what it used to be.

And then Matthew Tkachuk swaggers back into his life...

rec comments: Oh boy, long time not reading a 100k fic in one go (or like, I think four days, realistically). I have a soft spot for future fics, especially with usual ennemies-to-lovers pairings (even though they’re not really ennemies at the beginning of that one but it’s not like they’re friends either) so I was already starting with good vibes and it kept going because the story-telling was so good. Flawed and well-rounded characters, a good pace, great side characters and OCs. Enjoyed every single bit of it. - @macknnons

you’re just made for love by crawsley

jamie drysdale/trevor zegras (ducks) | 1,6k | explicit

Trevor's never really thought about the nape of his neck before.

rec comments: this is another one from the “she lives in my lap” series and it will make more sense if you read the first one first. this one is the trevor POV of the collar/neck scene and, well, what more can i really say - @pattyrosyteeks​

Your Hands on My Skin by @linskywords​

alex debrincat/dylan strome (hawks) | 3,6k | explicit

It's a stupid thing to care about. But it seems like every time Dylan sees Alex with a teammate, he’s putting his hands on their back to dig the tension out of them. And for whatever reason, he never does that with Dylan.

rec comments: I think sometimes I forget the chemistry and potential these two have and it’s nice to be reminded of that from time to time. Friends to Lovers, innocent until it’s not, hot ending. What more do we need. - @macknnons

you’re a big girl and it’s your world by crawsley

cole caufield/shea weber (habs) | 6,3k | explicit

“Shea you’re my captain and you’re in rut, I’d be taking advantage,” Cole tries, trying to keep his voice calm and soothing and not make any sudden movements, even though he can’t stop his hips from rubbing against Shea’s hand.

That seems to get Shea’s attention because he actually looks up at Cole and snorts.

Snorts?

“There’s only one person here that’s gonna get taken advantage of, Cole, and it sure as hell won’t be me,” Shea says.

rec comments: another from the “she lives in my lap” series BUT i think this one could be read as a standalone. i’d suggest checking out the tags and end notes on this one but holy hell is it hot af. i dont think i’ll ever get over the shea/cole dynamic - @pattyrosyteeks​

jamie drysdale/trevor zegras (ducks) | 5,7k | mature

A month ago, when the random woman gave Jamie her card at the Mall, Trevor was too busy being pissed their pre-movie hang was being rudely interrupted.

rec comments: i felt truly called out by the “nearly 6k about jamie’s freckles” tag bc it was bc of that tag that i immediately opened up this fic. anyways. this is a good college au about jamie wearing fancy things as a model and trevor going full gay panic about it and i loved it - @pattyrosyteeks​

Yes. I think Jamie/Trevor is one of my fave pairings I like to read in a college AU set up, don’t know why it suite them well. Loved Trevor being all sad because Jamie couldn’t hang with him and being worried about his work/life/health balance and stuff. And perfect ending, obviously. - @macknnons

never hurts to apologize (especially if you don’t mean it) by @cokehead-zeroed

jack hughes/charlie mcavoy (devils/bruins) | 2,9k | explicit

“You seem awfully confident,” Charlie remarks as he takes the bottle, tapping it lightly against Jack’s in thanks.

“Why wouldn’t I be?” Jack cheerfully replies with an exaggerated shrug, one of many bad habits he picked up from Trevor, although he’s careful to keep it away from his on-ice game. “Coming into the Wild Card game off back-to-back series sweeps...hard not to feel pretty good about that.”

“Good enough to bet on?” Charlie asks, and Jack knows from the quirk of his eyebrows that it’s not money they’re betting.

rec comments: for the millionth time: KEEP WRITING JACK IN PRETTY THINGS!!! it’s what he deserves. anyways. this was hot and perfect and i’m just really sucked into this pairing which is unfortunate (cries in rair pair) - @pattyrosyteeks​

We Have Conversations by pressdbtwnpages

jeff carter/mike richards (pens/kings) | 4,6k | explicit

Being telepathic saves a ton of money on phone bills.

In which Jeff and Mike develop telepathy after they're traded from Philadelphia.

rec comments: Just like the résumé says, a fic where they developp telepathic abilities for each other. Not the kind of things I usually read but I quite enjoyed how it was set up and the execution. - @macknnons

john carlson/tj oshie (caps) | 2,3k | explicit

“Quite the charmer,” TJ goads. His feet are a little more under himself now. “Bet you could get anyone you want, kissing them like that.”

“Cut the shit,” John says, but he’s smiling, running a thumb over TJ’s cheek.

rec comments: look beyond saying “i was stuck on the semi-public sex tag” again, i’m not sure what else i can say. this is drunk cup shenanigans and is a perfect read - @pattyrosyteeks

Don’t mind me, just reading Jess’ recs in the drafts. The Caps Cup celebration calls for all the fics and this one is perfect. You feel like you’re in the club with them and it’s hot, would read more of it. - @macknnons

at the end of all your lines by Lake

jeff carter/mike richards (pens/kings) | 10k | mature

The one where Carts and Richie get drunk married in Vegas and totally don't care, because they're more worried about getting traded.

rec comments: Yes I’m binging the Jeff/Mike tag, you gotta know your classics. Here we go with accidental marriage. So, like, your classic everyone thinks they’re acting like an old married couple already and then some. Pining, being confused about one’s feelings, being worried for each other and missing each other when apart. The usual, always works without a fail. - @macknnons
