Shifting Realities by AetherSeer for Catznetsov 6.2K, Evgeny Kuznetsov/Tom Wilson

Плохому танцору всегда яйца мешают by Catznetsov for pr_scatterbrain 5.5K, Alexander Ovechkin/Alexander Semin, implied/referenced Sergei Federov/Sasha Semin

Every company tells its own stories. Alex is with the Washington Ballet for a year before he starts to believe them.

“Didn’t he give up ballet?” Nicolette says under her breath and a mass of runaway curls.

“No, didn’t he join the army, or like, whatever you call it?” Mikayla says.

“He got lost in the airport,” Sergei says over them.

***

I hate the way I don't hate you by daddyoshie for WeaglesAndBrobeans 28K, Nicklas Backstrom/Alexander Ovechkin, Karl Alzner/John Carlson

“I don’t think there’s going to be a wedding,” Alex says, his voice careful and neutral.

“I’m here, it’s happening,” Evgeny says.

Nicklas Backstrom Is Only One Human Man And Shouldn't Be Expected To Deal With All This by greenurr for eafay70 2.6K, Nicklas Backstrom/Alexander Ovechkin

“Ten more minutes at the park!” Nicke called. “Then we’re going straight home! No ice cream this time, I mean it!”

“’Kay!” called his beloved children, his legacy, the two people he would move heaven and Earth for, as they tried to trip each other going up the stairs to the slide.

In which Nicke is a beleaguered single dad, Alex is a hot Russian tutor, and the Backstrom children are little rascals.

***

like a diver out of air by Guzmanasol for caixa 2K, Andre Burakovsky/John Carlson, Andre Burakovsky/Gina Carlson/John Carlson

Andre is, for all intents and purposes, a Carlson. A Carlson in Denver instead of D.C., but a Carlson nonetheless. The rest of the Carlsons learn to deal.

***

beauty and the boys by hardscrabble for AetherSeer 4.7K, Brett Connolly/T.J. Oshie/Tom Wilson

“No, no, guys,” Tom says, struck with genius. “Beauty and the Beast. Oshbabe is Belle, right?”

As Osh beams at him, like, totally delighted, Conno says, “So who’s the Beast? You don’t like mask costumes.”

“We don’t need a Beast,” says Osh. “Willy’s Gaston, babe.”

***

never the same river by pr_scatterbrain for greenurr 10K, Nicklas Backstrom/Alexander Ovechkin/Alexander Semin

The Treaty of Saint Petersburg is signed secretly in the spring of 1812. It creates a formal alliance between Sweden and the Russian Empire against the rising threat of Napoleon. Part of the treaty involves a form of collateral; a marriage contract.

Nicke might be a second son, but he is a Bäckström. Still with worth, if not estates of his own.

The aforementioned worth had been calculated to the krona when he had been ransomed by the French. It had been paid by Gabriel, the Crown Prince. At the time Nicke had not known how he was to repay his cousin. Now that is no longer a mystery.

***

Not Gonna Bow To You by redandglenda for AetherSeer 10K, Nate Walker/Tom Wilson

Nate might be small but he’s a confident guy, on and off the ice. On the ice that means he can knock the biggest of them off their skates, and off the ice, well, let's just say he can sweep them off their feet. The only problem is that he's insanely attracted to large, built guys (with the exception of his teammates because he's not crazy) who always seem to disappoint him in bed. He likes to be the one in charge, and that’s not something guys that size are apparently into. Nate’s pretty much resigned himself to the fact that his ideal guy - big and willing to let him take the lead - just doesn’t exist.

But maybe he’s just been looking in the wrong places. Or being oblivious to what’s right under his nose.

***

(kuzy's) hot girl summer by spaceyho for ghosthunter 8K, Marcus Johansson/Evgeny Kuznetsov

"You're not going back to Russia?"

"Well, eventually I am."

***

Love Is Worth The Sum Of Itself by storiesinthedark for Thorne 4.9K, Nicklas Backstrom/Alexander Ovechkin

Sasha took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. “I...There’s...His name is Nicke and I love him. Have for ten years. He’s all I think about.”

She nodded. “And what do you want?”

Sasha stared down at his hands, clasped together in his lap. “I want...I want him to want me so much he can’t stand it,” Sasha replied. He looked up at her and pressed his lips together.

***

Now I'll be bold as well as strong by Thorne for Guzmanasol 43K, Andre Burakovsky/Christian Djoos; Nicklas Backstrom/Alexander Ovechkin

"You're getting simultaneously cockblocked and set up by a magical unicorn," he finally says, and then Nicke sighs and rubs at his temples because somehow Andre always, always manages to zig where others zag.

***

One Terribly Cursed Day by WeaglesAndBrobeans for hardscrabble 3.8K, Braden Holtby/TJ Oshie

“Sorry today’s been shit,” Braden offered quietly, his words getting lost in T.J.’s half dry mess of hair. “Naw, it hasn’t been shit. Well, you’ve made it good at least.”

T.J. Oshie has a no good very bad day and Holtby might be falling in love.

[8/?]

A brief diversion for mountains:

There are fourteen mountains that rise 8,000 meters or higher. In 1950 a team lead by Maurice Herzog reached the summit of Annapurna 1, the first time humans ever climbed that high. This is not because it’s the easiest of the fourteen: it was shockingly dumb luck and devotion. Annapurna has killed more people than any mountain in history. And yet it’s dearly loved--we just can’t resist that murderously peaceful face in its soft shades of cream and blue.

Dior had that expedition on his mind a few years later when he designed the Annapurna gown, sandstone silk under clouds of sequins cut from mother-of-pearl.

The dress itself is a simple bell skirt falling just below the knee, nipped at the waist, the heavy silk gathered into rough creases at the shoulders and a sharply suggestive but modest neckline. Over it, there’s an open coat with a surprisingly soft shawl collar and yoke, the sleeves joined to the body well in from the point of the shoulder to create a roundness and a very full, imposing, but not architectural or unnatural silhouette.

There you go.

TJ Oshie

is a very handsome man.

This is not, like, the only important thing about him, but it has made this one my favorite part of the project. He has a gloriously heart-shaped face and smooth moon profile with that cute nose and cheekbones and eyes framed by crinkles and, lest we forget, great legs.

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'}

He’s the only one I would pick to wear Capitals red. He’s the guy the guys talk about as the heart of the team, and I am a sap.

He likes kinda big lines and bold color; I think about one of his 3-piece suits, and his plaids. He himself sometimes goes a bit too complex and crowds out his face--like I said about Holtby, when you have big expressive features they can blur. Negative space makes them more distinct. So I’m looking for a piece by a Native designer in red, with a simple shape, showing those calves.

After a year, what I’ve decided on is this red hourglass dress with mod white and black accents being modeled by Chilkat weaver and designer Meghann O’Brien. (I can’t tell you a ton about it because O’Brien is an academic fiber artist and, ironically, no fiber artist has ever been a whiz at web design, so I’m having challenges with that part of her blog. Her main work is woven ornaments like the leggings she’s wearing in this picture, which you can find wonderful closeups, process photos, and academic discussion of, if you’re interested in learning more.) The overall shape and shade of red can make it peppy, while the boatneck, slower curves of the detailing, and the important colors of red and white and black can make it more soothing, grounding, and mature.

As you’ll remember Ovi is wearing this absolute island of over-saturated blue.

Does Andre ever become like a 3rd present to the kids? If he does how slowly to they transition to that, and what do the kids call him?

ooooh see i love this question bc it makes me think of their ~full timeline~ so lmao bear with me

WAG-INCLUSIVE POLY HCs UNDER THE CUT SO DON’T @ ME IF IT’S NOT YOUR THING

i think the true turning point/what starts the official beginning of their relationship is the 2018 Cup win

and tbh by that point, they’ve been having post-practice Snuggle Time for nearly two years

lol PAUSE let’s talk about the meantime:

brief angst when andre waffles on snuggling holts in public (i.e., in the locker room or on buses/planes/etc) again after that bc he Doesn’t Know how he feels about it when brandi isn’t involved + he starts to rethink how much he hangs onto everyone and wonders if it’s truly always welcome

but then alex holds everyone after practice and is like “WHO HURT BURKY” and nicky’s standing there with his arms crossed and death-staring everyone but lolllllll when the ~contact~ picks up on the alphas part, burky’s like “lol oh okay cool” and resumes his normal snuggly omega behavior

andre realizes his heats start coming more regularly once their “hangouts” become fairly scheduled but he’s still trying really hard not to look too closely at it

like it’s been well over a year before one of their scheduled hangouts occurs the same time he starts going into preheat

and brandi’s just – god, she literally has to pull braden into the kitchen while andre’s piled with kids telling him that he’s “stinky” and is like “should we let him have his heat here” and braden’s like “!!!!!!!!!!!” about it bc like they def haven’t ~approached burky about sharing heats/ruts yet, so he’s mostly like “i think we should offer him a safe space to do it, yes, but…we can’t just drop that on him when he’s so close to heat”

and bc braden’s secretly losing his shit at how good burky smells in preheat (like he has been for YEARS), brandi’s the one who is like “if you want to stay here and hole up in the guest room, you’re more than welcome. i can go grab anything you might need to make it comfortable”

bc he DEF doesn’t want to use a service or go hookup now that playoffs are looming

so he just…..says yes??? and goes through his heat in one of their spare bedrooms and it’s honestly waaaaay more mild than usual????? almost like his body is saying “hey, you’re safe here with your alphas and your babies are right there downstairs, no need to get crazy”

brandi pops in to check on him, to make sure he’s drinking water and at least nibbling on something and she’s literally just like Alpha Mode time to take care of my omega the moment he starts purring when she brushes his sweaty hair back from his forehead

and later when andre comes out like ~a day later once his heat is broken, he’s all showered and still a little pink in the cheeks but he just flops onto braden like “i’m so hungry” and gets Nice Snuggles before brandi starts to fuss over him

then the kids are up and it’s just a nice lil family breakfast

lil belle just goes “birdie you smell better” and wraps her lil arms around his neck

and it sticks 💕

SO THEN CUP WIN:

obviously when they win it, andre’s running around indiscriminately giving kisses to anyone who he runs into – players, their families, babies, even Trotz

just imagine when he gets to brandi and the babies and belle’s just like “BIRDIE, GOOD JOB!” and he just starts purring all loud and happy bc brandi’s scent is all proud too

then obviously ~Post-Win Haze~

andre doesn’t remember much past the pain of a new tattoo, but luckily there’s lots of recorded evidence

i.e., holtby holding vrana’s hand – luckily no one also recorded andre getting whiny and plastering himself to holtby’s back, being all “i thought i was your favorite omega” and purring right in his ear

(if andre Knew he was doing that he would’ve been embarrassed, but instead, imagine holtby dragging him outside for some “fresh air” and doing some Super Heated scenting, like both of them panting and andre whining because he can’t get at the good spots of braden’s neck through his thick ass beard and braden growling about it and andre is hard and getting a little slick and that’s what makes them finally pull apart; he’s literally So Affected and they didn’t even kiss)

and andre just….keeps going home with braden??

or like, crashing wherever snuggled up to him

lmfao so when they get Mostly Sober and they’re sitting at the holtby breakfast table and belle’s like “i want birdie to get me cereal” andre has his Moment

like he and braden and brandi haven’t even Talked or had sex or done anything aside from snuggling and letting andre crash their guest room most nights now, but these kids are already used to him being a constant presence????? it’s def something for him to think about

so let’s say he goes home and it’s just……lonely? like. not dusty bc he has a cleaning service, and there’s no food in the fridge bc he eats most meals at the rink or at the holtby’s and it’s just like. “huh, okay.”

so obvs there’s some ~reflection and light angst~ and then he goes back over like a week later after brandi texts him like “belle says she misses her birdie :(((((” and andre’s just “haha i miss her too” and brandi’s like “I miss birdie too. come over.” and he’s just like “OH”

he goes over and belle (and even ben!) are like “BIRDIE, YOU CAME BACK” and brandi scents the shit out of him and he is a happy purring mess before he even gets to braden

lmfao god and before they split up for the summer, before Cup days and all of that they all sit down and Talk

basically they decide to Officially Court Him, but they opt to forgo bond-bites for now just because they have 2 months before they’ll see each other for pre-season training camp

and they spend the rest of the summer Skyping and missing each other – kids included

THEN MORE RELATIONSHIP BUILDING HAPPENS and bond-bites and heat/rut sharing and burky maybe eventually gets to have some babies of his own WE SHALL SEE

TLDR – they call him “birdie” which happens before they’re all even ~together~ but YES he will eventually be a third parent

#anon asks #abo verse headcanons #andre things #lmfaooooo this got SO LONG #i love my new OT3 okay

When fans stop Washington Capitals center Nicklas Backstrom in restaurants, the rink or on the street to ask for autographs or photos, he’ll occasionally turn to his six-year-old daughter, Haley, to run through a list of questions.

“Why are they doing that,” he’ll ask his wide-eyed daughter. “Do you know?”

“Yeah, because they love you,” she’ll respond.

Backstrom will prod more: “But why do they love me? Do you know that?”

Haley, confident as any six-year-old could be, isn’t stumped: “Yeah, because you play hockey.”

“There you go,” Backstrom says.

BIG

Ben and Holtby’s daughter Belle, 5, are two of the few Capitals’ children who grasp the concept of their fathers being NHL players, and Ben especially isn’t afraid to tell, well, everyone.

“Definitely some embarrassing moments for us because they’re kids,” Holtby said. “They don’t know; they aren’t scared to announce it sometimes. They don’t understand why Dad doesn’t really want that announced sometimes. I mean, we’re trying to make life as normal as we possibly can.”

The opposite side of the age spectrum is Alex Ovechkin’s son Sergei, who is just over a year old. Now learning how to walk and talk — his first words (all in Russian) were “mama,” “papa” and “gimme” — Sergei attended his first Capitals game Oct. 14 against Colorado, joining Dmitry Orlov’s first child, Kirill, who is three months old. Children such as Holtby’s and Backstrom’s gets Ovechkin excited about Sergei’s future.

DAD

Then there’s John Carlson’s four-year-old son, Lucca. Unlike his one-year-old son Rudy, Lucca tells his friends his dad plays hockey, but John says, he doesn’t get the whole “hockey is a job” thing.

“He thinks it’s like his tee ball team probably in all actuality,” Carlson said. “He probably doesn’t think I work.”

With the Capitals’ kids at different stages of their learning process, players are too. Ovechkin says he’ll probably be turning to Backstrom and Holtby for advice once Sergei is a little older. For now, they are happy with little banter back and forth in the room, about what their son or daughter did that puzzled them, and similarly simple joys.

“We can talk once in a while about the kids or what they do or you know how lost we are usually,” Holtby said. “Yeah, but it’s never kind of advice; it’s more just us venting about how much we don’t really know what we’re doing and trying to figure it out along the way.”

ENERGY.

(Samantha Pell off to a extremely strong start as Caps beat writer, coming off the bench for Isabelle Khurshudyan.)

Valentine’s Day- Andre Burakovsky

Ok so I know this is a day late, but I worked yesterday so you get a late Valentine's Day story from me! I'm not gonna lie, it's super angsty. I have another story I'm writing that's 10000000% angsty so take this while you can! Any who... there was a post recently that since Andre (on twitter) retweeted about body positivity, that maybe he likes bigger girls and as one, I will run it into the ground lol. I love this precious bean! Anyway, enjoy guys!

Warning: Angst, lack of self-esteem

Part Two (It’s the Thought that Counts)

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/

You smoothed down the front of your dress frowning. Andre wanted to do something nice for Valentine's Day, but then Tom heard about what he was doing and wanted to join in so now you were going on a double date with two really hot hockey players and a model.

Well, she wasn't really a model but she sure as hell looked like one.

And that made you self-conscious as heck.

"Babe you look gorgeous," Andre said kissing the back of your head. He placed his hands on your waist and his eyes zeroed in on the prize in the mirror. "Really gorgeous."

"I don't know," you murmured. When you bought the dress you were in love with it. It was a tight black dress with a lot of cleavage. It was a little daring for a plus sized girl, but it made you feel good about yourself. Now?

Nada.

"No time to change. We're going to be late. Let's go!" Andre grabbed your hand and started pulling you from the mirror in your shared bedroom.

"Wait! What is Ashley wearing?" You asked. You didn't want to clash.

Or for Andre to change his mind about what he was attracted to.

Andre stopped and looked at you.

"Who's Ashley?"

".....Toms flavor of the week?"

"I thought it was Ashton?" Andre mumbled.

He could be right. Tom changed girls like he changed his underwear and you and Andre had a hard time keeping track. You both loved him dearly, but he needed to stick to one name to conquest at a time.

Andre shrugged and pulled you out the door, only pausing long enough to let you grab your jacket and purse. He ushered you into the elevator and once he pressed the button for the ground floor he pressed you against the far wall and kissed you hard. This was the Andre that no one else saw because all the fan girls thought he was a precious bean.

Well, ok. You had to admit they were right. But he did have a sensual side too.

"Wow," you laughed as he pulled away. "I wasn't expecting that!"

"Why not? You're gorgeous! How did I ever get lucky enough to get you to love me?"

"It was definitely the Semla," you grinned remembering when Andre introduced you to the sweet Swedish pastry. Andre laughed and pulled you from the elevator and to your car, opening the driver's door for you. "One of these days I'm going to get you to pass your driving test."

"It's hard!" Andre whined as he slipped into the passenger seat. You kicked off your heel and turned the car on.

"Nate passed it first try. I think you can manage," you responded. Andre sighed.

"Here I am planning a romantic day for you and this is what I get as thanks?" You glanced at him out of the corner of your eye, seeing his pathetic puppy dog pout.

Dammit.

You could never say no to that.

"You did invite Tom and Ash-something to join in these festivities so I mean really... not very romantic."

"I knew Tom was wrong."

"Wrong about what?"

"That you'd be happy to double date."

"Any other day? Yes. Valentine's Day?" You wiggles your hand back and forth in a so-so motion, "eh."

You parked the car in the lot and Andre told you to wait, coming around and helping you out of the car. You held onto him as you wriggled your foot back into the heel and dropped your keys back into your purse. "Ok let's go eat!"

Andre slid his arm around your shoulders and pulled you close, his cologne relaxing you.

As you got closer to the door, Andre came to a dead stop.

"You've gotta be kidding me" he muttered. You looked ahead and wanted to cry.

Tom and model Ash-something were talking to another couple, Braden and Brandi Holtby.

"We might be able to make a run for it and grab some burgers on the way home."

"You guys finally made it!" Tom said as he caught a glimpse of you. It was too late to back out now. You'd been spotted. Crap.

"Hey guys. What are you doing here?" you asked, giving Brandi a hug.

"They were eating here too so I invited them to join!" Tom said.

He was pretty oblivious to the fact that his date didn't look happy. Brandi smiled at you and Andre.

"Sorry but maybe next time. We got rid of the kids for the night" she said with a wink.

You could kiss her for that.

"You guys can come over for dinner sometime. I think I've finally got the kroppkakor recipe nailed."

"I don't know what it is, but if Andre eats it I'd probably like it" Braden laughed at his younger teammate’s expense.

Andre was a picky eater when he wanted to be.

"It's delicious and hers is almost as good as my mom’s!" You blushed as Andre kissed your cheek.

"I think we should go in so we don't lose our reservations" Ash-something butt in. You smile and nod as Tom agrees quickly.

"Sounds like a good plan. You kids have fun. Don't do anything we wouldn't do" Brandi laughed. "By the way, you look fantastic (Y/N)!"

"Thanks, you do too! And you," you turned to Tom's date, "look great as well!" She smoothed down her hair as she agreed with how good she looked.

Andre placed his hand on your lower back and pressed gently, urging you forward. You stepped into the restaurant and the hostess stared at you, a small smile on her face. Her gaze instantly picked up Andre and Tom, and her eyes lit up and her smile became more genuine.

"Welcome, do you have a reservation?" She stared at Andre as he gave his name. The hostess noticed Tom's date and her interest in him waned, making you feel even worse about yourself.

Happy freaking Valentine's Day to you.

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/

You kicked off your heels as soon as you entered your apartment, dropping your purse on the floor as well. You immediately went into your bedroom to take this dress off.

It was a really stupid idea.

You shouldn't have bought the damn dress.

"Isn't that my job?" Andre joked as he entered the bedroom behind you. You didn't laugh. You didn't stop. You just kicked the dress into the corner and slid into your pjs. "Hey, what's wrong? I thought we had a good time?"

"Maybe you did" you snapped. You definitely didn't. You sat and watched as the hostess, waitress, and even Tom's girlfriend (Annaleigh by the way. You were both wrong.) flirted with Andre, like you weren't even there. Annaleigh made a couple of comments about what you were eating and you over all just had a crappy night. And apparently it was obvious to everyone but Andre and Tom because when you left the restaurant, you had a text from Brandi asking if you were ok.

You ignored it, not wanting to ruin their night alone with Brandi beating a couple of hockey players up.

She'd totally do it too.

Probably one handed.

The other holding Belle and teaching her how to fight.

That thought put a smile on your face.

Andre sat next to you and took your hand in his.

"What's wrong (Y/N)?" You sighed and looked at your entwined hands. "You got really quiet at dinner."

"So you did notice." You were silent for a minute. "Andre, why do you love me?"

"What?" Andre blinked at you in confusion.

"Why did you fall in love with me?"

"Well," he paused for a minute, "I love you because you're super smart, smarter than me, because you're funny and you pretend I'm funny. I love you because you are unbelievably gorgeous to me and because your smile makes everything a million times better, even being kicked out of playoffs." He paused, squeezing your hand. "You're learning to make Swedish food just for me and that right there alone would make me love you, but I fell in love with you before my pork and potato dumplings made it to your recipe book. I love you for you, (Y/N)." You smiled, a tear streaking down your face.

"You weren't attracted to any of those women at the restaurant?" Andre looked taken aback. Suddenly you could see the clarity on his face.

"Not even remotely. Leave the skin and bones to Tom. I love YOU." He leaned forward and kissed you soundly. "And I really loved that dress so maybe we should hang it up, yeah? Wear it again?" You nodded.

"Yeah."

"Good. Now, I bought ice cream and got your favorite movie." Your face lit up.

"Miracle?"

"You bet!" You reached up and placed your hands on Andre's neck, bringing his lips to yours.

"I love you, Andre. Precious bean and all."

"I love you t- wait. What?"

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/

Eh? What did we all think? Yes I've been here (not with Andre and definitely didn't get the same response, but that's why I write). I really just kinda want to see Brandi kick their butts. I love the Holtbys! All of them! Alright I have a request for another JVR coming up and my angsty one but I do take requests!
