one day all my love will come back to me

Spending a mid-degree gap year in the guest bedroom of your best friend who you’ve been in love with for ages seems to be a recipe for disaster until a hook up with a player from a visiting team threatens to change your future forever 

pairing: nathan mackinnon x reader; brayden point x reader

warnings: creative liberties taken with the 2021-2022 regular season schedule and the availability/contributions of Brayden Point during the 2022 playoffs, typical angst associated with a love triangle with a hint of unrequited love, sexual themes (not quite smut but more than implied) and the usual (alcohol, swearing, etc.)

a/n: surprise @senditcolton i'm your summer exchange fic writer! i'm so so so sooooo sorry this is late, @wyattjohnston and i were having a hot girl european summer and it's not an excuse but a bit of an explanation. when i saw you had written brayden point twice in your players list, i knew it was time to dust off this fic idea i had last year and do her proper justice. i hope you like it!!! shout out to demi for the many "replace c with C" suggestions on google docs and @thomasschabot for the other suggestions. ok i'll shut up now, enjoy!!

The Avs are up by one with thirty seconds to go and you’re pretty sure you’re going to puke. It’s a good thing everyone is far too focused on the action going on at ice level to question why your gaze keeps bouncing between the good guys and a certain forward on the other team. It’s such a strange feeling—you want with your entire being for your boys to hoist the Cup, but there’s a small part of you that never wants to see the boy on the other team you care for so deeply, so upset. He was right, you both crossed the line past hooking up a long time ago. 

bad at love

Breaking your brother's only unspoken rule—don't date his teammates—has never been an issue in your adult life. Until now.

pairing: jt compher x reader

warnings: angstttt, smut, a minor car accident with mentions of injury (broken bone/concussion), and the usual (alcohol, swearing, etc. etc.)

a/n: hiiiiii @comphy-and-cozy i'm your super secret fic exchange writer! sorry this is a day late and a dollar short. one of these days @wyattjohnston is going to perma-ban me from participating in exchanges. until that date she remains my ever loyal editor. mad thanks to @thomasschabot for reading it first and telling me they loved it even though they're contractually obligated to do so and for physically being there when the fic idea popped into my head <3

It’s not the first time you’ve shown up at your big brother’s house with a face full of tears and a couple bags full of all your worldly possessions. Despite your best efforts and well intentions—if you had to guess—it likely won’t be the last. 

who do i need to pay and how much do i have to pay them to have someone write me reader insert hockey fic with the same premise as pride and prejudice? asking for a friend

Hi love!! sorry it’s taken a minute to reply, work is absolutely nuts rn

4. soft smut, but only if you’re comfortable writing it! it’s not a deal breaker for me

5. i’ve been known to indulge in angst now and again but please happy ending only lol

6. i don’t think there are any tropes i don’t like

7. big fan of the ____ to lovers trope family - exes, friends, strangers, brothers best friend, best friends brother etc etc. i also really like when one of them is a little stupid when it comes to realizing the other likes them. oh and x falls first, but y falls harder

8. no real preference but probably leaning more towards developing

9. no known scumbags. or connor mcdavid. LOL

10. pronouns are she/her, and i’d prefer a female reader if possible but again not a deal breaker

hope this helps!!!!

hi bb! i totally hear you, and i wanna make clear i’m not talking shit about people who don’t know because they’re new to hockey or whatever reason. i’m happy to answer questions via dm but there are unhinged people who will send death threats when they’re reminded their faves are questionable at best and fucking criminals at worst

getting older is just watching problematic pieces of shit hockey players i thought were fully cancelled get put on my dash
