MY LIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

who do you take me for, a fucking fool? much ado fic. duh. all of it??????

every word in doctor who au obv but if i think about "How long is a night on Kairos?" or "he's given them time" for even a second too long, i start to cry so fuck you for that one fr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what the fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

���Jesus, sweetheart. When was the last time someone took care of you the way you deserve, huh?” are you insane.

introspective rimming hehehe

PANKAKKE - SAUCE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

"elves can't get STIs"

BUKKAKE BREAKY HEART SO ROMANTIC?????

Roop have I mentioned lately I adore you?

Much Ado fic dragging Roop out of lurking mode my crowning achievement fr. Apparently there was a time in my life when I DIDN'T get to talk to you every day??? And now we're out here having four-hour video calls. That's called GROWTH baby.

I wrote the end of the Doctor Who AU first and you can tell actually because fuck me it's good. In 259 fics on AO3 there are like... three or four I think have legitimately good endings and that's one of them.

Birthday fics for @sparklepocalypse do make me insane (positive) actually. (Also lol I don't go on twitter but I've been reliably informed this is the paragraph that was screenshotted multiple times when people recommended it on there)

What a beautiful tone!!! Introspective rimming my beloved!!! Henry your feelings for Alex and also eating ass are so big and beautiful!!!!!!!

I was telling someone recently that you use "that makes my butter bubble" IRL the power of pankakke babyyyyyyyy

Got a will to win and a Cheshire grin was legit so much fun to write, truly shocking that "elves can't get STIs" wasn't a pre-existing AO3 tag though /s

Bukkake Breaky Heart is some of the best smut I've ever written I WILL die on this hill thanks for asking

[Anonymously - or not - tell me what passage, fic, line of narration, or anything you remember me by as a writer.]

[hauntedppgpaints]

For the animal moodboards, could I please request a Siamese Cat for Roope? Or some other kind of big cat? He has those insane blue eyes, and mad witch vibes, so a cat feels fitting maybe?

Alex grips his hand tighter. They’re going to need to have a long, hard conversation in the next five minutes, or else Alex is going to combust right here in Pez’s fancy office. Explode for all of Midtown Manhattan to see. Here lies what remains of Alex, for all the world to witness—taken out by a rogue marriage proposal from his evil boss-turned-fiancé.

Or: Working under editor Henry Fox-Mountchristen was only supposed to be Step One in Alex’s plan of achieving his big dreams—but when his boss winds up facing an even bigger problem, potential deportation, Alex finds he isn’t just a beleaguered assistant anymore. He’s the solution.

It’s fine. They only have to fool his friends, and his family, the United States Government…and themselves.

several sentence sunday!!

hello friends!! thanks roop @firenati0n for the tag MWAH!

i know i said i was gonna write some rwrb next but ALAS!! my adhd brain has focused on roswell new mexico again instead, so. here i am. this is something i like to call "time travel swap", AKA: help i woke up in the future! (i know only like 1% of my followers watch this show however this is part of my long con to get you all to watch the silly alien show)

enjoy!! x

“I’m sorry,” Alex says, because the look on Michael’s face is kind of heartbreaking – the mixture of concern and expectation that Alex can’t fulfill. “I’m sorry, I don’t know what’s happening. I don’t know how I got here, I went to bed at home.”  “Home,” Guerin repeats. “Alex. This is home.”  Alex shakes his head, hair flopping into his eyes a little. “I don’t know where I am,” he says, voice breaking.  “Okay,” Guerin says. “Okay, we can fix this. Let me, uh – I’ll call Liz. I’ll call Isobel. We’ll figure this out.” While he’s talking, he throws the blankets off, sliding out of bed and into a pair of sweatpants so smoothly that Alex doesn’t even have a chance to dwell on the fact that he was just sleeping naked. With Alex. In what is apparently their bed.  Alex pinches himself surreptitiously underneath the covers. Perhaps he’s in, like, a coma. Maybe this is a fever dream, an invention of his own depraved mind. It seems like something that he might come up with – waking up with a hot guy who calls him ‘honey’ is the kind of insane, unattainable domestic dream that he’s had before.

open tag because it is late and i havent been on this silly website all day so idk who has done this already <3 MWAH

Roope/Robo for the ship ask

A MOST BELOVED DOCUMENT. (sry anon for this insane reply pls feel free to stop reading after this first paragraph ahlsdfkh) basically 2124 are my favorite stars ship even though it's generally difficult to articulate what makes them so intriguing, but i also think that That in itself is why i enjoy them so much haha. imo the more subtle and unsurfaced and laborious to construct narratives for the better!

i spend possibly too much time contemplating robo's character and i know that we (or i guess i...) often talk about his Just A Guyisms, which i do believe are an effective assessment of his general demeanor but alsoooo 2124 is just so rifeeee with introspective potential that it krills me every single time i think about it. as @kitnita perfectly put it in this post getting to "work backwards from pre-existing intimacy" is what makes them so much fun, because they have arguably nothing that connects them off-ice and yet demonstrate an almost automatic complementary style on-ice. and the fact is that unlike pavs and robo who play within a similarly restrictive framework, the entire ethos of how 2124 play together is that roope's strengths lie in the negative space of robo's, and it's not so much just the inherent beauty of Your Line Is The Only One I've Ever Known (places hand on chest. this is of course a large part of it as well!) but really actionably that robo plays in such a tactical fashion that allows him to effectively activate roope's motor. and i think roope is the kind of guy who sees that and is like... This is what binds us together 4 life. and it's really like... the ultimate marriage of skillsets which is also what makes the way they eschew any journalistic effusiveness (esp roop although obviously part of that is language-barrier related) so fascinating. like top line hold themselves to an extremely high standard and i think robo is extremeelyyyy aware of the weight of his responsibility as a goal scorer, but they're also both reticent about overcommunicating the importance of their "chemistry" to the media and i feel like that makes it... even more delicious???

i don't know if any of this makes sense but tl;dr To Me the ultimate romance is when two people play beautiful hockey together :) and in my head i also like to live in a world where that's roope's biggest philosophy as well. like roope talks about his connectivity to the home crowd and how he feeds off that energy and although it's not like... necessarily evident, i love characterizing 2124 as basically: despite roope being the most complete player on the team and appearing more mysterious or withdrawn compared to robo's pr capabilities, robo is very much the one who hyperfocuses on singular, self-reflective assessments while roope is more inclined to contemplate his chemistry with robo. and i love seeing it as the Roope_Confessional being "i know that I Don't Need You to play good hockey but it's always better when you're here so why would i want to change any of that?" whereas idk whether robo is prone to the same sentimentalism. and that's what makes them fascinatingggg! like all these weird little unexpected nuanced reversals to Roope being obviously the "cooler" and fashionable one, but also frankly the sort of cringe diehard loyalist "soulbonded to the spirit of the aac" guy whose greatest joy is Buying Miro New Clothes, who cares in very bleeding-heart understated ways etc. all of that really lends dimension to their dynamic despite robo being seen as the antithesis to pretty much all his interests.

i also find their cultural context quite interesting but maybe that's for another day because this is already a ridiculous post.... but briefly something that really informs a lot of their dynamic both in practice and in fic is obviously the existence of finnmaf and roope and miro functioning as the heartbeat of it, and we have moments of robo facetiously referencing them and essentially picking up Spare Euros (aka swedes aka petey and nils) on the side and existing on the outskirts of their friendship. and robo is someone who's moved around a lot and has a pretty varied background and he's talked about how he didn't really recognize the weight of that until he became a public figure and grew into the responsibility of his professional role, and that shows a lot in how he carries himself and interacts with media. and with roope being an "unknown" quantity in some aspects with the language barrier and being from finland i loooveeee any potential fic/narrative that kind of peels back all those little cultural layers or even flips their situations (e.g. post-retirement fic set in finland, soulbonding with the ability to speak/understand finnish—but also Not Understanding and finding comfort in that is part of the appeal so there are a lot of places to take this... etc. etc.). 

i will stop here but beloved ao3 user murkya truly does a wonderful job of capturing them and probably in a more entertaining and digestible manner than anything i said here does :') 

[barkovsasha]

gibby/wyatt AND GIBBY/CONNOR MY LOVES!! tell us why you chose gibby to write about when he’s not a very common rpf character!

ahhhh thank you because you KNOW i love them so much, gibby has a special place in my heart !

okay, so gibby has just really interested me since... i wanna say the little collision he had with connor really put him on the map but i didn't start writing him until his fight with mrazek. i had the desire to start a thing based on him catching connor because... we all know i have a Thing for forwards and goalies from other teams i guess ! so it was a background thought for a long time and then he had that fight and all of a sudden, in one night i had written 2k of him being a nasty mean dom to mrazek AND THEN ! i got insane muse to write him with connor (of which i will pop a snippet below) and then you 🫵 decided to make me endeared to the stars (which i already slightly was because of wyatt/roope fics and that one mush/benny fic) and put gibby and wyatt in my mind and they.... make me sort of insane.

so, below the cut, i have two snippets !

gibby x connor

He does feel a little out of his depth as he forces himself to walk over to McDavid, effectively closing the space between them. He knows how some of the other guys might react to this, initially spellbound just by being in the presence of one of Canada’s golden boys. John feels it a little, he can’t deny that. Stronger men than him have fallen prey to this. It’s like McDavid’s got a gravitational pull and John is swept up in it so easily, orbiting him like he was made for it. That doesn’t mean he’s going to be a starstruck little fanboy, though. 

“Are you lost?”

McDavid blinks and John just watches him. 

“No,” he says after what feels like an eternity, shifting his weight from one foot to the other. 

John stays silent, waiting for McDavid to offer up anything else. When he doesn’t, John shrugs and turns away to head down the corridor. It’s not that he isn’t intrigued by all of this, the unknown of it all, it’s just that he doesn’t really know what to do with it. And if McDavid won’t talk to him, he’s not going to stand there and beg for his attention. 

~~

“Kneel.”

There’s a brief moment where John doesn’t think he’ll do it. That he’ll back out and they’ll pretend this didn’t happen. John will watch his retreating frame and wonder what exactly made him want to stop. It’s fleeting, because as soon as John has thought it, McDavid is dropping down to one knee and then the other, gazing up at John like he holds the answers to the entire world. 

John watches with interest, reaching down to cup McDavid’s cheek. His fingers stroke out over his skin slowly, guiding his head back so he can look at him properly. There’s clear arousal in McDavid’s gaze and he looks like he’s itching to reach out and touch him but John hasn’t given him permission yet. It’s a heady realisation that McDavid is waiting for something, waiting for John to tell him he can do something. 

“You’re such a good boy, aren’t you, sweetheart? You’d do anything for me.”

McDavid’s eyelashes are long and black against his cheeks when his eyes close and John wonders if they always look like that or if it’s the lighting, the angle. An angle most people will never see him in, meaning John is one of the luckiest men alive to get to indulge in this. 

gibby x wyatt

“What makes you think I’d let you push me around?”

John grins despite himself, reaching up to brush his thumb over the side of Wyatt’s neck softly. He has at least thirty pounds on Wyatt, he can do whatever he wants to him. They both know that. But Wyatt is trusting him not to, not without Wyatt wanting it. John isn’t a bad guy, he doesn’t do things without making sure the other guy wants it just as much, but the thought that he could has always intrigued him a little bit. 

“You said you wanted me to teach you, didn’t you?”

“Yes.”

The lack of hesitation in Wyatt’s response gives John reason to pause. He shouldn’t do this. He’s been toying with the idea of it this entire time but there’s no way he can do it. It would be awful of him to take Wyatt up on this. He’d do terrible, awful things to him. God, John wants to.

His hand fits easily over the column of Wyatt’s throat, like it was made for this. His palm is soft and warm against Wyatt’s throat, fingertips pressing into the side of his neck. Wyatt swallows and John feels it. 

“You like this?”

Wyatt’s eyes are wide and John is half expecting him to say no, back out and finally leave like he should have done instead of coming to find John. But instead, Wyatt nods. It’s not much, John’s hand is large against his delicate throat, but it’s enough. John can feel the telltale stirring of arousal in the pit of his stomach. It’s different to see Wyatt like this, rendered speechless by something that takes barely any effort from John. When only minutes ago, Wyatt had been yapping away about every little thought in his brain. 

~~

“Please, Gibby. Let me suck your cock.”

Wyatt stares up at him, eyes big and wide and wet. John has no fucking idea how he’s supposed to say no to that. He has no idea how Wyatt manages to look so sweet and innocent even though he’s begging to suck his cock right now. 

“Just — Jesus, kid.”

Colour licks at Wyatt’s cheeks, hand stroking along the length of his cock through his sweats, forearm pressing into his thigh. John reaches down to hold onto his wrist so he can’t do anything. 

“Come on, I can feel how much you want it.”

And — yeah, okay, he does.

wip wednesday <3 :)

hello friends! sorry for skipping so many of these, i was experiencing Insane Person Hours (when am i not) but now i am writing again thanks to the power of PRESSURE (posting proposal au on ao3 fjaslkdjflsaf) i feel like I'm back in school doing my essays last minute lmao ex Academic Weapon Roop shifting into MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE to write a FIC has been...a time and a half! thanks to all my friends for being so patient with me as i bang out this multichap and battle my raging imposter syndrome valiantly.

thank you to @thesleepyskipper @orchidscript @myheartalivewrites @littlemisskittentoes @blueeyedgrlwrites

@sophie1973 @suseagull04 @onthewaytosomewhere @theprinceandagcd @priincebutt for the tags <3 <3

here's a snip from chapter 3 of proposal au aka the full spectrum of human emotion, coming sunday <3 sorry this is so boring ajsdklflasf the other 13.9k words are spoilery LOL:

Alex wakes the next morning to a harmony of birds chirping and Henry’s soft snores. There’s a crick in his neck and a tweaked muscle in his back from the hardwood floors, barely softened by the comforter he had folded up as the world’s shittiest makeshift mattress. He couldn’t even use the spare air mattress in a pinch, because how the fuck was he supposed to explain to his family that he and his betrothed sleep in different beds? He glares up in fresh irritation at Henry’s sleeping form, curled into himself, facing away from Alex. The irritation quickly fades, however, making space for grudging fondness—and a little bit of something else—at the sliver of skin showing at the base of Henry’s back from where his too-flimsy sleep shirt has ridden up. Alex can see each point of Henry’s spine poking out through the shirt, and he gets a little lost counting the ridges and imagining how they’d feel under his fingers, until noises outside their door break his tunnel vision.

ok hold on it’s me UTD anon again. I’m on the other fic now and the CONTRAST in Wyatt’s confidence is so insane. I’m sorry, posing against the hood of the car in tight clothes with no coat bc he’s Canadian and it just doesn’t get that cold in Dallas? picking up Roope bc he does a special discount for Stars? utterly deranged. still cute and young but NOT shy anymore

UTD anon you might be my new favorite anon.

In the three ish years between Wyatt being mistaken for a hooker by Miro we have some things happen for sure lol.

Ive got a vague plan to write:

-Wyatt and Miro’s second time

-Miro suggesting Wyatt hook up with Roope and that whole thing getting started.

-something with Wyatt where he’s essentially juggling school and his two singular clients and his feelings

-something lost as it was where some kind of resolution of evolution is presented

omg an insane miro-roope goal on pride night ……….. love wins

[teethkick]

hi, i hope youre doing well! I was getting into the stars a little bit and was wondering if maybe you had any fic recs?I know you're not online a bunch rn but I trust your opinion & taste and wanted to come to you as a known stars liker! I don't really have any specific ship in mind or anything so im not really picky.If youre not comfy answering or dont feel like it totally feel free to ignore this message <3

oh my god... hello... this is all i've ever wanted... thank you for asking!!

now to be completely honestly, i haven't gone fully stars-crazy when it comes to fic because i am a pairing-first reader and my favorite pairing in starsland is tyler seguin/mason marchment which has a total of 13 fics in the tag, so :/ there is DEFINITELY more great stuff out there for pairings i haven't explored yet, but these are some of my favs:

intent, angle, effect by murkya | roope hintz/jason robertson

roope pov done SO right, prose is gorgeous. this writer understands the inherent lameness of robo on an insane level. he's just a dude coming up with plays in the club

a word, a signal by anon | tyler seguin/mason marchment

ouuuuauuauuaagh. why are they so like that. injuries and great banter and the promise of something more!!!

into watch you shaking by teethtilt (@txstars) | jason robertson/jake oettinger

rule 63 and summer vibes, babey! what's better than that?

two for the show by kerfluffle (@playincards) | tyler seguin/mason marchment

this one got lost in my history and it is SOOOOOOO good. tyler does onlyfans instead of hockey, mush is still on the stars. it's much softer and funnier than might be expected (in the best way)

retrospectively, some strategies by murkya | roope hintz/jason robertson

second-person roope pov that knocked me on my ass

sets off in me by anon | tyler seguin/mason marchment

hot and sweet. those r my thoughts

still burnt from kissing your face by teethtilt (@txstars) | wyatt johnson/ty dellandrea

i think tanya owns the concept of summer actually. their other wyatt/delly fic is also fucking great, highly recommend both!!

cry, crawl, do it all by anon | tyler seguin/mason marchment

this author is correct, girl tyler would have incredible tits
