Character, book, and author names under the cut

August Landry/Biyu (Jane) Su- One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston

Eric “Bitty” Bittle/Jack Zimmermann- Check, Please! by Ngozi Ukazu

[mapleapplepiee]

Now that check please will likely have a resurgence in 2025 we need to talk about how fucked up it is that ngozi deleted the tweet about nursey and dex having one (1) night of passion and never discussing it ever again

i feel like we dont talk enough about how two of the most decorated female hockey players ever, one a former captain for team canada and the other for the usa, fell in love and had a baby together 

[mapleapplepiee]

I laughed out loud at the idea of Jack sending articles to Bitty, or later, every person in group chat sending this to Jack as a group troll.

[mapleapplepiee]

yes i have a thing for self-loathing fictional characters being loved and in the process learning to love themselves and no that does not imply anything about me personally as a person i swear

downloading a fic when ao3 dies (when you have the link)

looks like ao3 is down again and i was in the middle of a multi chapter fic when it died on me.

and if that happens to you, this is what you can do to download the fic:

copy paste https://download.archiveofourown.org/downloads/00000000/fic.html in your browser url

replace the pink bit with the number right after /works (that's the work id)

for instance, in https://archiveofourown.org/works/44970790/chapters/113154673 the highlighted bit (44970790) would be the number you swap for the 0s

the download link will look like https://download.archiveofourown.org/downloads/44970790/fic.html

if you want the fic to be downloaded as an epub instead, use .epub at the end of that link

it should start downloading on your device

i'm sure a bunch of people know this and use it but in case you don't, hope this helps

Hockeyblr Coffee Dates

it's (been) january (for months in both directions) and me n the mutuals are having a hard time creating things and leaving the house and staying sane so i'm inviting whoever feels like it on a virtual coffee date.

this saturday @ whatever time works for you:

find somewhere to go (a cafe, the library, a friend's house. ideally you'd leave your house for a bit)

get a hot drink and a treat (take a picture of said treat)

work on a project of your choice (a fic, a poem, a drawing, maybe bring some knitting)

post a picture of your treat + a snippet/screenshot/picture of what you've been working on on tumblr dot com (use the tag #Hockeyblr Coffee Date & tag me (@karlkapri) or some friends in the post if you'd like some feedback/engagement)

i will be doing this every saturday. everyone who feels like they could use the creative boost (or a treat) is welcome to join.

much love x kapri 💌☕🤍

Check, Please! one shot where Shitty Knight learns to knit (badly) and insists that everybody call him Knitty Shite. He makes Jack a pair of socks. They are not the same size, color, or shape.

Holster goes into Samwell thinking he’s gonna hate Jack because Jack’s soooo talented at hockey and soooo well connected and soooo rich but he actually hates Jack because Holster mentioned SNL and Jack was like “Oh. Is that … a class”

[mapleapplepiee]

Samwell Mamma Mia! Hockey

Summary:

While in Atlanta for a sports memorabilia convention, Jack meets a cute blonde guy in a bar and goes home with him. He knows it’s a bad idea, but he so rarely has such an immediate connection with somebody.

They’re gonna have a lot more bad ideas together.
