Anytime I think about Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel, I always get kind of breathless at just how poetic and ironic their careers have been.
They’ve always been kind of pitted against each other, a rivalry made out of nothing. Their careers are intertwined with one another. Hell, the whole narrative for Jack was always ‘how does it feel to be second place to Connor McDavid.’
That Connor’s always been the more successful one, and yet Jack was able to make it to greener pastures and win a cup, before McDavid. The guy who went second overall winning a cup before the Golden boy of Canada and the guy who went first overall.
Jack was able to get out of Buffalo, while Connor is still stuck in Edmonton, and is probably going to be stuck there for the rest of his career.
They both have something the other wants. And isn’t that just so ironic? These two players, who have always been pitted against one another, who seemed like polar opposites, and have polar opposite careers as of late, seem so similar? Like they’re one and the same? Isn’t that just funny?

Last Line WIP Whenever
hello, over the last days I was tagged by @aceghosts @nightbloodbix @kyber-infinitygems @socially-awkward-skeleton @jackiesarch and @bbrocklesnar to post a wip! thank you all 💜 It's been some time so tagging you back if you want to!
sending tags to @risingsh0t @carlosoliveiraa @captmactavish @alexxmason @onehornedbeast @confidentandgood @josephslittledeputy @voidika @madparadoxum @thedeadthree @shadowglens @corvosattano @fourlittleseedlings @strangefable @leviiackrman @captastra @macs-babies @inafieldofdaisies @ri-a-rose
so uhh, apologies, only original stuff this time. it's been a while. I've abandoned my boy and all that.
first one is for Snowfall
She’s barely able to catch her breath as she spots the doors closing. She jumps back onto her feet and turns her body sideways to slip through.
Sól stumbles on her last steps but makes it out of the train just in time.
The man walks up to the closed door. Calmly, as if he didn’t just try to kill her. Then, he takes his helmet off, revealing his identity to her.
A cold shiver shoots down her spine, and Sól’s heart drops into her stomach.
Not gone. Not dead. But standing right in front of her.
second one is for Outer Rim
His hand hovers over her skin, hesitating to touch her. When his eyes meet hers in a silent question of permission, Jaye nods.
Even though prepared, the skin to skin contact startles her a little. During all this time she spent in Eden, she forgot how soft touch can be.
Dex’ fingertips ghost over the lines of her tattoo. Judging by the corner of his mouth quirking up slightly, he must like the motive she chose. The Viper. Not quite as impressive as ‘King Cobra’ or ‘Death Adder’ but the danger’s all the same.
Tingles shoot through her body when his hand moves from her hip over her upper leg, softly caressing the skin. Her face grows hot as she follows his movement.
“You’re something special”, he says quietly.
Jaye looks up at him, not quite understanding the insinuation. However, Dex’ view stays focused on what he’s exploring.
Even in the darkness, she spots something she never expected from him; nervousness. He hesitates, then swallows before continuing.
“You and the others.”
