Captain-Dominik Szoboszlai

Pairings: Dominik Szoboszlai x fem!reader

Warnings: +18 content(smut), explicit language

Summary: Attending the game in which your boyfriend captains his national team takes an interesting turn

Note: I just couldn’t get this idea of him out of my head🫣

Even if this was just a friendly game against Türkiye, Dominik still wanted his girlfriend to attend. He wanted to make her proud. They have been dating for a couple of months, the relationship still fresh, but the chemistry was something none of them had ever experienced. That’s how Y/n found herself at Puskás Arena on a Friday night with Dominik’s jersey on.

It was moments before the Hungarian players needed to be on the pitch to warm up for the game, as you were seated with the other wives and girlfriends attending the game. They were discussing about clothes, jewellery and how excited they were for the game to start before you receive a text from your boyfriend.

Dominik: come in the locker room, I need you!

You wonder if everything is okay with him as you excused yourself from the group and went on to look around the stadium for Dominik. Reaching the locker room, you push the big doors, surprised to find him all alone. His kit was on, together with the captain’s armband, which made him even hotter.

“Shouldn’t you be warming up?”you approach him, settling yourself between his legs while his arms embrace your hips.

“I should” he smirks, checking you out. The skirt you’re wearing come right before your knees and the black leather boots embracing your legs, made you look like a goddess. Looking up to see his jersey hugging your body so perfectly, his smile widened even more “but I had to see you before”.

“You’re so handsome” you mutter, while arranging a string of hair which fell on his forehead.

“My captain” those words awake something in him and he hooks his big hands around your thighs drawing you closer to him, until you’re sitting onto his lap. His and your lips are now mere inches apart, Dominik finally closing that distance, with a passionate kiss, moaning softly. Both of you get even more excited, one kiss turning into a heated make out session. Dominik’s hands traveled all over your silky smooth skin, from your waist, down to your thighs caressing it gently but firmly.

“Strip” he tells you without any hesitation. All flustered and turned on by his actions you look deeply at him with doe eyes “What?”.

“You heard me, strip!”

“Dominik, the game is about to start and someone could come…” he interrupts you with a sloppy kiss, gently pulling on your lower lip to which you can only let out a moan of pleasure.

“Is not like that stopped you before”

“But” you try to argue with his but also very tempting idea but he doesn’t buy any of it.

“Be a good girl and listen to your captain, otherwise I’ll have to bend you over that table and make sure you behave baby” his words hit you like a bus. Dominik seems very calm about the whole situation meanwhile you’re barely holding on.

The shirt and skirt you’re wearing are long forgotten on the floor, while Dominik tries to unclasp the bright red, lacy bra “You’re going to kill me with his baba” he starts planting kisses on your neck, going lower and lower, to the valley of your breasts, not forgetting to nibble and mark every inch of skin on your chest. “Dominik, Domi please” you whimpers in his ear, getting even louder than before.

“What do you want?” He asks straight away, his lips barely leaving your body.

“I want you baby, please”

“And where do you want me?” He asks with a cheeky grin on his face.

“I want you inside me”

Hearing your words, Dominik lifts you up just like a feather and places you on the table in the centre of the locker room.

“All you had to do was ask szívem(my heart)”

Dominik rips up the lacy red panties you had on which were matching the bra.

“Dominik, I liked those!”

“Don’t worry baby I’m going to buy you more” he says thrusting into you.

“Domi!”you leave out a sigh of pleasure which sounded more like a scream, as your walls were drawing him in more and more, squeezing his already hard cock.

“Arch your back for me pretty girl” you do as you’re asked, feeling him go deeper and rougher.

“Can you feel me here baby?” Dominik asks, tracing your lower stomach, feeling the tip of his cock pushing harder into you. You were getting lost in the pleasure that your beloved boyfriend was giving to you while he was just as fascinated by your body and the sounds youmade as you were by him.

“Yes baby, yes!” You let out broken sobs as Dominik was brushing wet kisses over your body. He grabs your chin and he smashes his lips with yours whilst thrusting roughly into your aching core. Dominik was nibbling on your skin while your walls were clenching around him drawing you closer and closer to your climax.

“Dominik I’m close baby please”

“I know baby, I got you, I’m close too”

With every move inside you, he was bringing you closer and closer to your orgasm untill you both reach your high, your uneven breaths echoing trough the empty room.

“Fuck that was good” you smile, kissing him.

“Never disobey your captain’s order” he smirks, kissing you again. Dominik helps you get off the table and as you both get dressed you pick what’s left of your underwear off the ground

“How am I supposed to go without these now?”

“Just as you came here, plus it’s easy access for my reward after I score tonight” he winks and you roll over your eyes.

He laughs as he takes the pair of tore up panties from your hands and puts it in his locker.

Hope you enjoyed it!🫶🏻

MEDIA MANAGEMENT — JACK HUGHES (23-24 SZN PART 11)

au masterlist

y/ndevils00

liked by jackhughes, nicohischier, and 251,869 others

y/ndevils00 well… that was painful

welcome back to my post-game recap! if you don’t know who i am because you’ve been living under a rock, or you’ve been in jail (don’t do crimes unless you can get away with them), i’m y/n! or as my boyfriend calls me, ‘dove’! i work as the social media manager for one of the sluttiest teams (and maybe the worst this season…) in the National Hockey League: the New Jersey Devils!

let get into it! your favorite (or maybe least favorite. i wouldn’t blame you!) men from hell lost 4-6 against the patriotic old guys tonight…. i can’t say i wasn’t surprised

we had an absolutely scoreless (and sinless) first period on our end, transitioning into intermission down by 3!

but second period is when we really started heating up! we got FOUR lovely goals by THREE lovely people!!

starting with uncle Toffee!! who scored our first AND our fourth goal!! he’s been so queen girlboss slay recently! who knew he would be this good?! not me! i doubted him severely! (i cannot apologize for my previous thoughts about you uncle, i can only ask you to forgive me anyways because you took my DILH and i’m still recovering)

Timo the absolute Tank Engine got us our second goal of the night with his first goal of the season! and no penalties!! i feel like a proud mother to a usually extremely horribly behaved little boy 🥹

and of course, my favorite whore, my very best swiss, my least favorite kind of cheese; captain slut got our third goal of the night!! THAT’S MY HOE!! POP OFF! (he also got a penalty tonight but i’ve opted not to show that because he paid me $20)

and i could never forget to mention that my beautiful angel of a bad bitch, Rowdy, got an assist on THREE out of four of our goals tonight!! he’s only 3 points away from 20 points already!! THAT’S MY (baby)GIRL!

and third period is when we immediately went as cool as the ice they skate on… giving up three goals (including an empty netter to the oldest looking man alive)… we got no goals of our own and my sweet baby angel face bestie number 1 got a penalty for being too perfect 😔

all-in-all, let’s wish the boys luck against the sabres on friday because apparently they need it! i think friday’s enemy gave them some pretty good advice though and they should put it to use!

p.s. ikea baby and merc-dog are my exact reactions to how badly we played in the third

p.p.s. ovi… when i catch you ovi 🥊😑

Time to say goodbye- L.Hughes

Summary: you have to say goodbye to Luke as he has to leave for Jersey

Luke Hughes x established relationship reader

A/n: be ready for loads of sad fics once we find out who is all signing😊

Lightly proofread so I apologize for any errors I missed!

—

You woke up in his arms on Friday morning, everyone had flown right back to Michigan after the game. You had thousands of thoughts running through your mind as your boyfriends alarm started going off.

The alarm that was waking him up so he could go sign his NHL contract.

They tried getting him to sign it in Tampa and go straight to Jersey but he refused. He wanted to do it at Yost surrounded by people he loved, in a place he loved, not where he just lost the same championship for the second year in a row.

You stayed quiet as he started to wake up and check his phone, the notifications nonstop since he got off the ice Thursday night.

“Good morning” he said as he hugged you tighter and kissed your head

“Morning Lu” you mumble

“I’m sorry” he admitted making you look up at him with confusion

“For what?”

“Having to sign this contract in two hours, and having to leave you, leave Michigan, leave the boys. I want to but I don’t at the same time” he expressed to you.

“Oh Luke” you said as you seen how sad he looked

“I mean me and duke haven’t been apart since freshman year, we’ve been together since our junior year, and these guys are some of my best friends. Not to mention I love it here, I’ve had the best time playing for Michigan, I don’t want to leave but if I don’t sign this contract I’ll be letting so many people down” he was crying at this point.

“Baby listen to me, if you truly aren’t ready to be pro then don’t sign, I can promise you that your family will not be upset with you, I won’t be upset. It’s your choice Luke, it’s your life. But if you are ready to go out there and show the world that a 19 year old Luke Hughes has what it takes to be in the national league, then go get your ass dressed so you can go sign this mother fucker” you told him through your own tears because no matter how bad it hurt that your boyfriend was leaving, he was achieving his dreams.

“God I love you” he said as he pulled you into a kiss that tasted of the salt from your tears and morning breath.

“I love you more” you replied pulling away

—

Two hours later you stood holding hands with Ellen and Dylan as Luke signed with the Devils in a conference room at Yost.

All the boys were waiting outside the conference room, they weren’t upset when he picked Dylan to come in the room, everyone knew how hard it was for the two of them to split.

“Congratulations Mr.Hughes your officially a New Jersey Devil” the devils staff member told him shaking his hand.

“Thank you” Luke replied looking towards you and his mom who were both on the verge of tears.

They took their pictures, one of Luke signing a fake contract , one with him and his parents, him and Duker, and then one of you two.

From here he’d go back to the sophomore house to get his bags and then he’d be on a flight to Jersey.

Once all the boys came in to congratulate him and more pictures were taken, everyone gave you two the room.

You didn’t know what to do or say, you knew if your tried to speak you would break out in sobs but you didn’t want to spend your last few moments with your boyfriend in silence

“Y/n..” he started but began crying as well

You just pulled him into your arms and hugged him, you two stayed like that, just holding each other until Ellen knocked on the door letting you two know that you had to get going.

You pulled away and looked up at him, both your faces were red and covered in tears, you probably looked like a raccoon because of your mascara but you didn’t care.

“We gotta go baby” he whispered

“I know”

—

You two stayed stuck together the whole ride to the airport, the car was quiet besides the light music from the radio.

Ellen and Jim both knew how hard this was for the two of you, you had been dating for four years and hardly spent long amounts of time apart. However you also knew how hard this was for them to send their last boy off to the Nhl.

After you made it to the gate he shared an emotional goodbye with his parents before turning to you. You ran straight into his arms already crying for the hundredth time that day.

“Flight 729 To Newark New Jersey now boarding” you heard over the intercom and it made your heart pang with hurt.

“Guys it’s time to say your last goodbye” Ellen spoke up but you could hear how sad her voice sounded, she didn’t want her baby to go.

“I love you so much Y/n” he told you as you both pulled apart

“I love you Luke” you replied as you pulled him down into a small kiss before stepping back so his parents could get one more hug in.

You held hands with Ellen once again as you three watched him walk down the hall towards his plane.

—

Cried while writing this so I hope you cried to🥲

you and i

luke hughes x reader

about: seeing all the couples around you fail, luke tries to reassure you that you two are going to stay strong together

warnings: established relationships, mentions of breakups, mentions of outside abusive relationships, mentions of outside cheating, mentions of sex, very conversation heavy, not much plot but a lot of talking

note: quick lil thing cuz i felt creative and wanted to write a lil smthn about lukey since he’s my fav ever.

i never understood terms such as ‘cuffing season’ ‘wedding season’ ‘breakup season’ because those happen every day, all year round. i understand normal seasons, and holidays and romantic holidays such as valentine’s day, national girlfriend day, national boyfriend day and other holidays as such, but i never understood ‘seasons’ based on romance and breakups.

in college and school breakup season was mostly in the summer when people went home for the couple months off, but outside of it, people break up every day. and i see it happen every day. wether they break up due to falling out of love, an abusive partner, cheating, someone’s moving away or just because, it happens all the time. same with people getting into relationships. i see it happen so often, it’s even happened to me. it happened to me about four months ago. on may 15th 2023 i got into a relationship with university of michigan alumni and new jersey devils defenceman luke hughes. we got together but that didn’t make it ‘cuffing season’ it just means we got together on a random monday in may.

‘hey, y/n, everything okay?’ luke said spinning his char to face his bed where ive bees sitting and staring at the wall.

‘hmm? yeah. just thinking of people breaking up.’ i said. ‘last week of school i was comforting like 6 different girls because they or their boyfriends were going home from college and wanted to break up so they won’t be ~trapped~ when they’re split apart.’

‘oh.’ he said putting his thumb between his teeth for a second. ‘is there any reason your thinking of break ups specifically?’

‘no. it’s just like, school is starting for everyone soon so that means either a lot of jealous exes or borderline toxic couples are gonna get together, and i was just thinking about how glad i am that we were nothing like that.’ i said and he smiled.

‘babe, when you’re with me, that’s the last thing you need to worry about. i can promise you that what we have, you and i, we’re stronger together than all those couples you’re thinking of. hell, we’ve been talking about engagement recently. i don’t think those people think about anything other than if they’re gonna fuck the upcoming friday. we’re so much stronger and happier than all of them, and we don’t have to wait till some random party to fuck. we only have to wait for jack to leave the apartment for a few hours.’ i laughed at him before getting up and standing infront of him.

‘thanks luke. i love you a lot. when i’m overthinking you overthink with me, but in more of a solving way than a insane way like i do. you’re my stability and if it wasn’t for you i doubt we’d be as strong as we are.’ i said.

he pulled me on to his lap and i kissed him.

we can make it to the end. we will make it to the end.

Valtteri Bottas and Canadian driver took on a hockey challenge on the F1 paddock - the Finn's prize stirred up confusion: "What's that?"

Finland vs. Canada - that's the name of the game when the spring hockey world championships start this Friday. In honor of the first match, there was a little warm-up game at the F1 paddock as well, when Mercedes' Finnish driver Valtteri Bottas and Racing Point's Canadian driver Lance Stroll met each other in a hockey challenge.

[Valtteri Bottas, Mervi Kallio and Lance Stroll, Spanish GP 2019]

Full article from 2019 translated to English under the cut !

For this, the Leijonat (Finnish national team) had gifted Bottas an official jersey with signatures.

Stroll, in turn, received Canada's own jersey, to which the F1 driver laughed:

"Where's the Sidney Crosby signature on this?"

In the challenge, Bottas and Stroll had to hit plastic bottles arranged in a row so, that when you hit your own bottle, you'd have to give a point to your opponent.

"Damn, that started promisingly." Stroll cursed as he fell one of his own; a bottle in Canada's colors.

"Practically I'd win if I don't shoot at all?" Bottas asked when his own turn came.

"Come on, some sportsmanship!" Stroll exclaimed next to him.

In the end, Bottas downed Stroll's bottle as well, winning the challenge 2-0.

During the trophy ceremony, Stroll followed puzzled as Bottas was handed Finnish Sisu. (black liquorice candy)

"What's that?" Stroll asked Bottas.

"It's salmiakki." Bottas quipped.

"Ah! I've heard of that stuff." Stroll chuckled along.

To Stroll, the losing Canuck, the outcome was a set of warning words when C More's F1 paddock commentator Mervi Kallio gave him Tyrkisk Peber (spicy salty liquorice) as a consolation prize.

"Don't eat it before quali or the race! It could mess up an untrained stomach!" Kallio advised.

"Thanks for the warning." Stroll laughed while inspecting his prize.

word count - 2k

this is my first fic and i hope you enjoy it!

I also have to make this multiple parts, so sorry about that!

can we always be this close, forever and ever?

after four long hours from London, you had finally arrived in Manchester. You stepped off the train and headed to the arrival area to meet your friend Maddie.

You and Maddie had been best friends since primary school, but ever since you moved to London three years ago, and Maddie living in Manchester since University, you had barley seen her, although you try to make time to see each other at least once a year, however every year she had come to London. This was your first year visiting her in Manchester, and you were eager to finally see Maddie.

After walking around the pick up area for a good 10 minutes, you finally see her car. Excitement fills your body and you can't help but rush over to her with an embarrassingly huge smile. As Maddie sees you run over she gets out of her car and spreads her arms out wide.

You two meet in a hug, both not wanting to let go. It had been so long since the two of you had been together.

"MADDIE!"

"Y/N!"

"It's been forever! How are you!"

"I'm good, how are you? How was the train ride? Good?"

"Yeah, it was really good. Although the breakfast sandwich I ordered really got me through it" You said with a chuckle.

Maddie helped you with your bags and brought them to the trunk of her car. Once you both got settled in the front seat, Maddie turned the radio on and she started driving to her place.

Once you pulled into the driveway to Maddie's house, you brought your things inside, being met with barks of her little toy poodle, jasper, and the smell of apple cinnamon from a candle that was burning. It was a warm type of feel, like a warm hug.

There was a Manchester City v Liverpool game on the tv which was fitting since Maddie was a HUGE Manchester City fan. You were a Chelsea fan since living in London, but all in all, you didn't keep up with football as much as you used to when you were still in school, however when you were an avid football watcher, Manchester City was naturally your team.

"OH! Y/N! I forgot to mention, I got us tickets for a Man City v Tottenham match on Friday! Should be a good game!"

"Oh my God! Thanks Mads! I'm sure it will be"

The two of you ordered Chinese food and sat down, watching the game carefully, getting frustrated with the ref, and cheering when possession would change back to City. Just as the game was coming to an end, your food had arrived.

"ANDDDDD...... END, 2-1 CITY!! LETS GOOO!" Maddie screamed, giving you a high five.

It was like you and her were never separated.

You and Maddie spent the whole week going shopping, eating out, and watching movies.

"Y/n, did you bring your City jersey? Because if not we NEED to get you one to wear to the game. And, I mean, I could lend you one of mine, but why not use this as an accuse to get another. In fact, I'll just buy you one!"

You both make your way to the Manchester City fan store and you are met with an overwhelming amount of light blue everything. Surrounded by numbers and standard blank jerseys, you look around picking out one you would wear for the game.

"How about Haaland? He's the best on the team I'd argue. Or, oh my God, you need a Grealish jersey!"

Jack Grealish. Star football player. Midfielder for Manchester City and England's national team. Who didn't know who Jack Grealish was.

The funny thing was that he was an old classmate of Maddie and Y/n, from primary school all the way to high school.

"Very funny Mads."

"No, I'm being serious. It's not every day that your best friend, after me of course, from school becomes a professional footballer who is loved across the nation and plays for one of the best teams in England! You need his Jersey Y/n, you two used to be so close!"

You fool your eyes. It's true, the two of you were close, but you live very different lives now and it's not like you are still friends with him.

"I'll just get the Haaland jersey Mads."

"If you say so."

"NEXT!"

You and Maddie step up to check into the match, excitement flooding your body. The energy at matches were always so electric.

As you were walking towards your seats, you realize that you keep walking, getting really close to the pitch.

"here." Maddie says. You are one row from the pitch, sitting on the end of the second row.

"Maddie, what the fuck."

"What?" she says cheekily.

"These seats are insane, I mean really fucking insane"

"Only the best for the best"

You hug her and take a seat.

Before you know it kick off is happening and the game starts. The stadium is rumbling from cheers of mainly Man City fans, and the energy is something that is like a drug. You catch a sort of high from the pure adrenaline.

The game stops for half-time and you are excited to see the players walk by as your seats are right near the tunnel to the locker rooms.

As the players walk by you are met with a familiar face.

It is none other than Mr. Jack Grealish. You make eye contact with him as he walks by. You don't think anything of it, until he does a double take and smiles widely. But that was just a friendly smile, right?

Was that? Can't be... Unless.. No, she lives in London... But it looked just like her...

"GREALISH! ARE YOU LISTENING BOY?! WE ARE DOWN ONE-NIL, FOCUS UP DAMMIT" Pep yells.

Pep finishes giving his speech, which was honestly more like screaming at the squad until they feel threatened enough to make a difference in their game, and Jack is eager to get back on the pitch, especially seeing a girl that looked a little too similar too his childhood best friend.

The boys run back onto the pitch, and Jack makes a point to look closely at the girl. Although she was preoccupied at admiring Tottenham's Son who was already on the field, Jack could tell that the girl was definitely his old friend, however he noticed that she had a sparkle to her, something he had never noticed before, or something she gained while in London. Whatever it was about her, Jack could tell that she was still the same. Same best friend, same hair, same style, and even the same winter coat. It was intriguing.

The final whistle blew, indicating the match was over. Cheer erupted in Etihad Stadium. Both you and Maddie snuggling together as you clapped and cheered.

Just as the two of you were about to leave you heard you name being called.

"Y/n! Y/l/n!"

You looked around to see Jack Grealish coming over to you. The surrounding fans tried getting the Midfielders attention, but he was only concerned with you.

"Hey, Y/n! It's Jack!"

You smiled at his recognition of you.

"I know. How are you Mr. Grealish? Great game today!"

He smile warmly at your slight teasing tone. You felt like you were talking to a close friend of yours, not a Manchester City player., even though technically, it was a friend.

"How about you meet me at The Pen and Pencil after for a drink, you too Maddie."

You agreed and said your goodbyes as he ran back to his team.

"Well would you look at that. Looks to me that double trouble is back"

"Shove off Maddie" You chuckled.

As you pulled up to the pub your stomach starts to turn. Yes, Jack was an old friend, yes, you two were extremely close, but he also looked more mature and handsome than he ever had before and you found yourself a little attracted to him. Maybe it was because you hadn't seen him in a while, or maybe it was because he was in his football kit that fit him ever so perfectly. Regardless of attraction, you were in Manchester to have a good time with your best friend and to let loose.

"Ay, you made it" Jack said as he noticed you walking through the door. He comes over to give you and Maddie little hugs.

"Can I get you a drink, it's on me of course!

"I'll take a Cider"

The three of you catch up, sort of getting to know each other all over again. It was a natural conversation, no awkwardness or silence. It was truly like high school days again.

within the next hour, Maddie was off with some guy flirting, leaving you and Jack by the bar, still talking.

"So, how's life in London. I feel like that should have been the first this I asked, but y'know, I got sidetracked with other topic of conversation."

"No, it's alright. And, I love it. I've been there for about three years now. Don't get me wrong, I really miss Birmingham, but there is just something about London that I am so drawn to, and I have never looked back since moving. I just feel at home there, y'know?"

"Yeah I feel the same way here in Manchester"

It was nearing 2 in the morning and you were getting tired, especially since you and Maddie had stayed up late the night before.

"I think I'm gonna find Maddie, I'm getting pretty tired."

"Alright then, I see you on your way out?"

You nodded and headed to find Maddie.

After searching for a solid 15 minutes you couldn't find her. It was a relatively small pub, but trying to find someone in a dark crowded pub was not the easiest. You soon came to the conclusion that Maddie wasn't here. You open your phone to see a text from her.

Maddie: Hey girl! So I met this cute guy and we are going out to this other pub. I was trying to give you the car keys so you could drive since I know you were only having one drink, but I couldn't find you. Anyways, I'll pay you back for a cab since I know you'll need one. The garage code is 1234. Sorry, luv u

crap.

"Find her?"

"She actually left.."

"Oh damn. You need a ride? I was thinking of leaving anyways, I could just drive you."

"You sure? I can always get a cab or an uber."

"No need to waste money, I can drive you, I only had one drink so I'll be fine."

Jack closed his tab and you both left the pub, getting into his car which was parked out front.

You were fighting the urge to fall asleep in the car, but your tiredness took over, and before you knew it you were at Maddies place, and Jack was waking you up.

"Hey, Y/n. We're here." He says as he nudges you awake.

"Oh, God, sorry, I didn't mean to fall asleep"

You get out of the car and straighten out your clothes before shutting the car door.

"Thanks Jack. I really appreciate it."

"Anytime. Before I leave though, how long are you staying in Manchester?"

"Um, I think a week more? Why"

"Here, give me your number, I want to hang out with you again before you go back to London."

You exchange numbers and Jack get back in his car to leave. He rolls the window down and gives you a wink before driving off.

You had just gotten changed and grabbed a granola bar and were just about to turn your light off to go to bed when your phone dings.

(0161)111-1111: Hey, it's Jack. You busy tomorrow afternoon? Was thinking we could go to this one local restaurant that is the BEST. What do you think?

PART 2 (coming soon)...

May her memory be a blessing.

President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he was attending the funeral of his late elder sister, Maryanne Trump Barry.

The president wrote on Truth Social, “Funeral Now. I Love Maryanne. God Bless You. Rest In Peace!”

His comments were attached to an earlier tribute that the president wrote about his late sister this week, shortly after she passed away.

Ms. Barry was a retired and respected federal judge who was appointed by President Ronald Reagan to a New Jersey court and later, nominated by President Bill Clinton as a senior judge for the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals, RSBN previously reported.

The president wrote of his sister this week, “I will never forget the many times people would come up to me and say, ‘Your sister was the smartest person on the Court.’ I was always honored by that, but understood exactly what they meant—They were right! She was a great Judge, and a great sister. She will be truly missed!”

On Monday, multiple outlets reported that Ms. Barry had passed away at the age of 86, after being preceded in death by her younger brother, Robert Trump. Robert passed away in 2020, while President Trump was serving his first term in the White House.

President Trump also suffered the loss of his late ex-wife, Ivana, the mother of Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Ivanka Trump, in 2022.

Trump described Maryanne as a “truly beautiful woman, tall and elegant, with a presence like no other…”

The president’s attendance at his sister’s funeral on Friday comes just before a busy weekend on the campaign trail. He is scheduled to travel to Fort Dodge, Iowa, on Saturday, for a Team Trump Iowa Commit to Caucus Event. He will also travel to Texas on Sunday, where he will serve meals to Department of Public Safety troopers and Texas National Guardsmen in Edinburg.

Let me present you my aot (aruani) series of one-shots based on "How I met your mother".

Living in the best city in the world in your twenties, with your friends? Nights at the usual bar, finding yourself lost in the future, struggling to find your place in the world, and most of all, navigating through relationships. It's wonderful, terrifying and, extremely, extremely, funny.

This is the story about a group of friends navigating their youth in chaotic and exciting ways as they waste their time at Scout's, their most trusted bar.

Brace yourselves to enjoy their shenanigans.

Main cast:

Armin Arlert: 25. Graduate student at New York University. Future environmental lawyer, according to what he says he will save the ocean, but so far we see him more at the bar than saving the ocean. Hailing from Minnesota, however, he met his roommate at the University of Chicago, Eren Yaeger, and his best friend, Mikasa Ackerman, with whom he came to live in New York. Affable, conciliatory and intelligent, or at least, depending on who you ask, because his friends will tell you all the idiotic things he's capable of, especially after a couple of beers at Scout's. While his friends struggle to find the love of their life, get back their love or get into bed with various people, he just goes with the flow.

Based on Marshall Eriksen.

Annie Leonheart: 27. The new bartender at Scout's and lead singer of the band that plays at the bar on Friday nights. Moved to New York with her band from Scotland, her two best friends, Reiner Braun and Bertholdt Hoover, an engaged couple, yes engaged, while she just goes with the flow. Last member of the group, thanks to Eren. Quiet and aloof, or so they say, others will tell you the crazy things she does at Scout's when her shift is over. Annie will navigate her youth in New York, pursue her dreams, friendships will form and in love she will lose herself.

She is the perfect mix of Robin and Lily.

Eren Yaeger: 25. He works as a comic strip artist in a newspaper in the city, although his dream is to succeed with his own comic. He comes from Chicago, where he met Armin Arlert, his best friend, and Mikasa Ackerman, his great love. His purpose is to find the love of his life, especially after the breakup with Mikasa. Dramatic, idiotic and groundbreaking. He is the cause of reforms in Scout's, especially if he gets together with Jean.

Based on Ted Mosby.

Mikasa Ackerman: 25. She works in a tattoo studio, although her dream is to become a famous artist. Hailing from Chicago, like Eren, and even though she knew him before, they didn't speak until college, thanks to the classes they shared. Thanks to that, the two ended up in a relationship, she met Armin and ended up in New York. When things ended with Eren, she moved out and met Sasha, her current roommate. She is willing to either get over the breakup or get Eren back, whichever comes first.

Based on Robin Scherbatsky.

Jean Kirstein: 27. He works at the biggest bank in New York, although if you ask any of his friends they wouldn't know what he does for a living. Hailing from New Jersey, he works with Connie Springer and thanks to that he met Sasha, Mikasa's roommate, although ironically, Jean met the group at Scout's. Kind of a womanizer, although he respected and somewhat composed for someone that wild. He is known for tearing Scout's apart with Eren and thanks to their rivalry.

Based on Barney Stinson.

Connie Springer: 25. Accountant at Goliath National Bank, the most powerful bank in New York, where he works with Jean. A lifelong Brooklynite, like Sasha Braus, who is his partner in crime. He is Jean's wing man in the search for single women in New York, although truth be told, he is a disastrous wing man. Funny and crazy, he is the menace himself.

Based on Barney Stinson and Marshall Eriksen on season two, when he is single and he is the worst at being Barney's wing man.

Sasha Braus: 26. Kindergarten teacher, although her dream is to be a restaurant critic. Hailing from the same New York City, Brooklyn, just like Connie Springer, her best friend. She is Mikasa's new roommate and Eren's sworn enemy (even though Eren doesn't know) and the one who supports Jean the most by chasing Mikasa, she also forms a dangerous trio together with Connie and Jean. Chaotic and funny, one of Scout's dangers and Levi Ackerman's nightmare.

Based on Lily Aldrin.

Recurring cast:

Levi Ackerman: 37. Distant cousin of Mikasa. Bartender at Scout's. He is so tired of the gang's shit.

Hange/Hanji: 35. Manager of the bar. Loves serving the gang, with their shenanigans they have the time of their life.

Reiner Braun: 27. "Marley's warriors" drummer. Annie's childhood friend, he moved to New York from Scotland with her and his fiancé, with whom he has a dramatic and complicated, yet fun, relationship.

Based on Stuart from "How I met your mother."

Bertholdt Hoover: 28. "Marley's warriors" guitarist and Reiner's fiancé. Calm and relaxed, until Reiner enters the equation.

Based on Claudia from "How I met your mother."

Other character will make appearances:

Pieck Finger.

Hitch Dreyse.

Historia Reis.

Ymir.

The story will mostly focus on Aruani, but there will be one shots focused on other characters. (Not many) Despite being based on "How I Met Your Mother", the stories will mostly be fictional,and as well as, the characters are based on the characters of the series, they will still have their own characteristics.

Summary of the first one shot

After a painful breakup, Eren Yaeger is determined to find the love of his life in New York. One Friday night, he sees a girl singing at the bar, Annie Leonhart. Determined to make her fall in love with him, Eren holds two parties in his apartment, which bothers his roommate, Armin Arlert, who has an essay in Constitutional Law. However, there are two things that Eren does not count on, first of all, that his great love Mikasa Ackerman will be present and that Annie Leonhart may enjoy the company of another person more.

Stewie: "You never doubt UConn or what we can do. Being at the game in January against Notre Dame, they were struggling with their depth and a lot of people needed to step up. You fast-forward to what we've seen in March and now April, I'm really proud of what they've been able to accomplish getting to this point. This is why they play. This is why they've practiced since September. I'm excited to see them leave it all on the court."

DT: "You know, there's always a moment during a season that's a reality check. For that team, that Notre Dame loss was the reality check in the sense that, 'No one is going to come to rescue you. No one is going to feel sorry for you. No one is going to care that everyone's hurt. No one cares that you have Connecticut on your jersey.' But you have to go out there and be that. Think about that moment for them — big game, big rivalry, big history against Notre Dame. They felt all that and it hurt them. It's funny, I spoke to Paige on Wednesday and she said, 'I don't want Notre Dame to happen again.' Trust me, I've had that in my life, too."

Stewie: "What Geno's been dealing with these last few years is with a lot of injuries. When I think about the injuries we dealt with in my four years it was really in my sophomore year when we had like six players at one point. Getting the players to fight, to continue to buy in to what they want to do, to understand why you're here, deal with that pressure to continue to find that greatness and chase perfection is what it's about. With this group it's different because they're fighting for each other. They're playing for the ones that can't. That's equally important. Those injured players want to be on the court but they want to make sure they continue to give out energy the best they can."

DT: "When Coach is in these situations, he digs in harder. I think the players felt that earlier in the year and they didn't like it. But he's doing it for a reason. He's doing it for Friday night. There will be 20,000 people in the building, playing against the hottest player in the country and every 3 will feel like a bomb. Are you going to be prepared for that? That's what he has done month by month. It's not easy because when Coach brings the heat it's the most pressure you'll feel as a human being, forget as a basketball player. Having to perform, having to live up to it, having to keep your head and be a great teammate, it's a life lesson you carry with you forever."

Stewie: "Paige is becoming more and more comfortable. In the beginning of the season she's getting the rust out a little bit after not playing for a year. Now she's taking matters into her own hands whether it's offensively or defensively. She's doing whatever she needs to for her team to win. At the end of the game she wants the ball in her hands offensively. Defensively, she was out there the other night guarding JuJu Watkins. That's tiring. But she didn't care. I watch Paige in a few different ways. I watch it as a fan because I want to cheer on my Huskies. But also from knowing all of the pressure that is behind Paige and the way she's able to perform her best under that pressure. That's what makes her great. To have that similarity, I miss being able to compete in March Madness. But watching her brings that back to me."

DT: "I just have so much respect for her. She could easily average 40 points per game. Instead, she's out there making sure that her teammates know that she trusts them. That's why they're here. Paige trusts every single one of her teammates at any given moment. Then in those big moments, greatness comes out. Two years ago, Paige was the best player in the world at her age. And now she's there again. It does take awhile to come back from injury. At the beginning of the year you'd watch Paige and think, 'She's not the same Paige!' Well, she hasn't played for over a year. The game of basketball is about rhythm, about consistency. When you're not on the court it is hard to have that. You see after four or five months of being on the court, being in rhythm, being in basketball shape, she looks incredible."

Heeeeey! Can you write an angsty fic for ports where he is stressing himself out over hockey, and the reader tries to help and he ends up flipping out on her?? Thank you!

Hi!!

You had met Erik in your English class freshman year. He sat down next to you and looked rather lost. You gave him the standard 'Hi my name is y/n and I'm a freshman majoring in sports medicine.' When he looked up at you and opened his mouth you didn't hear a single thing he said. You just heard his accent and you were head over heels.

Now fast forward to your junior year things between you and the Swedish goalie were going good. Or at least that's what you thought.

It was around 1 in the morning when you turned over and woke up to an empty bed. The pillow was cold signaling that he had been up for a while. You creep down the stairs and see him watching a replay of the past weekend's game going over every goal he let in over and over again. You sit down on the couch next to him and curl into his side. He places a kiss on your forehead dropping a blanket over you as you fall asleep.

You knew since it was a Sunday night he would always rewatch the games so he could talk to coach. You figured everything was fine until it was Wednesday and you were still sleeping on the couch every night.

As you curl into his side you decide to not say anything. You didn't know a bunch about hockey even though your brother played it before he went pro. They'd play on the same team once Erik went pro too. He gives you the typical forehead kiss before pulling a blanket over your body. You decide to stay up and watch the game some and you notice his jaw tick 2 seconds before every goal. He already knows what's going to happen. It's the 3rd period when you finally fall asleep.

Friday comes around and you are driving to the area with a few of the other girls all clad in your boyfriend's jerseys. The boys play hard but ultimately they lose in overtime.

The next night they once again lost in overtime and your boyfriend is unhappy, to say the least. While he had only let in 5 goals that whole weekend it was still enough to have them tie and lose a game. You are quick to wrap your arms around the tall boy as he walks out of the locker room.

"I wanna go home," he mumbles into your neck.

"Okay baby let's go home," you smile as you lace your fingers into his. He showers before collapsing on top of you. You groan at the weight but you won't complain. This is the most action you've got from your boyfriend in the past week.

Everything is going good until he gets the call. He's being 'traded' he won't be playing for Buffalo and we won't be with your brother. He seems calm on the phone but you know it's all a facade. As soon as he hangs up he's out of the room and going to the gym to blow off steam. When he gets back it's late and the trade is already national news.

"Baby do you wanna talk about it?" you question.

"No just leave me alone right now," he says going to shower. You let him be while you make food knowing he's always hungry after the gym. You go to your room to do homework leaving him a note that there is a sandwich for him in the fridge. After you finish your homework you wait up for him but he never comes to bed. You wait up for him until around 3 when you finally fall asleep. You wake up the next morning to find the sandwich still in the fridge. As you get ready for the day you notice your boyfriend is missing.

"Hey, where is lover boy?" Steve questions.

"I was hoping you would know," you respond before going upstairs to call Erik. It goes to voicemail the first 2 times before he picks up after the 3rd time.

"I'm at the gym with Steve," he says sounding out of breath.

"Okay, baby. Sorry to bother you," you say before hanging up. Steve comes upstairs knocking on the door with Truss on his heels.

"Where is he?" Truss questions.

"Apparently Steve can be in 2 places at once because my boyfriend just said he was at the gym with him," you sigh. The two boys share a look before giving you a hug.

Eventually, Erik comes home and sees you and Steve working on homework. He goes up to shower knowing he was caught in his lie. He changes before going down to sit by you.

"Hi, baby! How are you?" you smile.

"I'm okay. How are you?" he questions.

"I'm good. Thankfully Steve can be in two places at once because I would not be able to understand the homework without him," you say giving your boyfriend a look.

"Can we talk?" he questions.

"Let's go to our room. I'll be back Steve," you say standing up and going upstairs.

"I'm sorry I lied," he says.

"Why?"

"I don't know."

"Where were you?"

"I was at the rink. I'm sorry I lied."

"You could have told me. You could have said hey I'm at the rink blowing off steam. Instead, you lied. Erik you've shut me out the past week and a half. When it is going to be enough?"

"What do you want from me! You act like you understand what's going on with the sport but your just a puck bunny," he yells.

"What did you call me?" you say trying not to cry.

"You are a fucking puck bunny. The only reason you even understand half the sport is because of your brother," he yells.

"You are lucky Owen's not here to hear you say that because he would punch you, Erik," you state.

"Yeah because you can't stand up for yourself. Just leave Y/N. Go find some other hockey player's dick to suck," he says leaving the room. You collapse on the floor and you hear the front door slam. Steve runs up the stairs and pulls you into his arms as you sob over the boy.

"He called me a puck bunny," you sob.

"Hey, you're not a puck bunny. He's just mad," Steve says.

"It still hurts."

"I know honey. I know. But he'll come to his senses and realize he was wrong and be begging to have you back," he says whipping your tears.

But it's 2 weeks later and you are still crying every night over the boy while he's got a new girl on his arm. He has a new girlfriend and he moved into a different house the day after you broke up. You started to wear Jay's jersey to games since he's to only one without a girlfriend and a massive fan base. As you see Erik with his arms wrapped around a gorgeous blonde.

"Jay," you sob as he wraps his arms around you.

"it'll get better. I promise," he says but you've lost all hope.

A year ago today, the Florida Panthers shocked the hockey world by pulling off a late-night blockbuster deal — one which brought Matthew Tkachuk to town in a trade which sent two of their top players to the Calgary Flames.

And they have never looked back.

In his first year in South Florida, Tkachuk has been everything the Panthers hoped he would — and, perhaps, more.

Not only did Tkachuk exceeded his scoring total from the season before, but he became one of the biggest names in South Florida sports as he helped lead the Panthers to the Stanley Cup Final with playoff heroics.

In his first season here, not only was Tkachuk the MVP of the All-Star Game held in Sunrise, but he was a finalist for the Hart Memorial Trophy as league MVP.

Around 11 p.m. on a Friday night, phones started buzzing as news of the trade unfolded.

Everyone knew Tkachuk wanted out of Calgary, that had been public for about a week before the trade went down.

But Florida going all-in to get him was a calculated effort in which neither the Panthers, Flames nor Tkachuk’s camp leaked information until the deal was done.

“There was a very short window and the timeframe was very quick,” general manager Bill Zito said. “When you have an opportunity like this, you need to pursue it. The cost was very high and we decided it was something we needed to pursue. We are thrilled to be where we are right now.”

Tkachuk, in fact, was asked by his agent (and uncle) Craig Oster to say nothing about the eight-year contract extension he was getting with Calgary which would pave his way to the Panthers in the first sign-and-trade in NHL history.

Only he was on a family vacation to celebrate his brother Brady’s engagement.

Matthew Tkachuk ended up spilling the beans to his happy parents.

“I was the happiest person ever,’’ Tkachuk said. “(Oster) said ‘don’t tell anyone’ so I went to my parents’ room and told them. I was thinking about everything — but we couldn’t say anything.”

Still, the news did not leave the Jersey Shore until it hit the NHL offices which led to the leak to the national media.

The Panthers were not trying to bury the trade that night. They were just trying to keep things under wraps as much as possible as other teams — reportedly Tkachuk’s hometown St. Louis Blues and Carolina Hurricanes — were also in talks with Calgary about a trade.

Zito made sure by throwing in two great players, a top prospect and first-round pick that he would not get outbid by anyone for Tkachuk.

“Situations, like this, when you can add a player like Matthew to your organization, the price is steep,” Zito said. “That’s how things worked out.”

Now a year in, Tkachuk is embedded in South Florida with a house in Fort Lauderdale he compares to a hotel because so many family members stop in to visit during the season.

At 25, he remains one of the top young players in the NHL — and has seven years remaining on his contract.

The future is bright for both Tkachuk and the Panthers.

While they were all disappointed with the way the season ended in a 5-game loss to Vegas in the Cup Final, the road to the championship is something which will not be soon forgotten.

Tkachuk’s overtime winners against Carolina and trying to play through a fractured sternum will not be, either.

“It just shows how badly we wanted it, which makes it that much harder now,” Tkachuk said a few days after the season ended.

“There are so many things throughout the season that it’s just such a grind to get to where we are are. … It was such an unbelievable season to be a part of for my first one down here.’’

Yeah it was.
