the story: often imitated but never surpassed, laura's season-long hockey AU changed the parameters of CS fanworks in every way possible. a truly epic and unexpected setting for a fairytale that i found on exactly the day i needed its company the most.

binding: five-volume sewn board CHONK in canvas-printed covers meant to evoke NY Rangers away game jerseys. half-letter folios with painted spines tied in laces. NHL font designs from FFonts. includes fanart by @distant-rose and @clockadile (not pictured).

A very long time ago, my mother-in-law mentioned that Justin used to skate so quickly and without much finesse and as such would trip over the blue line. And something in my brain just went: oh. And then I...wrote, like, a million words. And got people to like hockey? And spent most of my mid to late-20s writting about this fictional hockey team with their kids and their kids' kids and people made art and I made spotify playlists and it was, like, my little safe space of happiness and found family and an absolute excess of love that I could just dive into whenever I needed it and then life happened and I haven't written in forever and we moved and @ohmightydevviepuu asked me for my address because she bound totbl by hand! Five volumes! They're named for periods! She wrapped them in laces! And I gave her the wrong addresss because we just.moved but all five (!!!) volumes got here and I actually cried and ran around our new house because it's been years and literally almost a million words, but this is my whole fandom soul and all five (!!!) volumes are going in our new reading room.
