tell me about natemac and cmd

OKAY. SO. outside of the obvious (1oa teenagers kidnapped from their childhoods to save some fuckass city) theyre constantly compared to each other (see: past three/four nhl awards + runners up) they’re both one and two for best skaters in thr league and best player rn, but they will both forever be in sidney crosby’s shadow (natemac will always be cole harbor’s second son, connor will always be the next next one, the second modern generational talent) but there’s no real angst there bc i don’t think they particularly mind + they both have raging childhood/current crushes on him anyway. i think despite colorado’s incredibly incredibly lean years (rip 2016-17 colorado avalanche) and the fact that it took natemac ELEVEN. years to win the hart + ted lindsay (and to my knowledge he’s never won the art ross) + he didnt win thr conn smythe (tbh like. his other other boyfriend got it so i dont think theres any real angst there) + his old contract was a freaking fleece, connor would swap their careers if given yhe chance bc he won the cup! and he successfully did what the oilers have fallen short of year on year (build from underneath graves up all the way to the freaking moon) not to mention the avs swept the oilers two years ago on the way to that cup and that was the year leon had a high ankle sprain (and connor found it difficult to watch him play like that, as a friend). theyre also very much a similar level of intensity/insanity + they have a very similar ‘u have to look hard to Get them’ vibe. also they sat next to eachother at the 2024 asg skills comp + there was a clip of them interacting

more nichely. connor has his exboybestfriend dylan strome often called 2015’s draft bust and similarly nate has jo drouin. often called 2013’s dr

how i’ll sleep at night knowing all my blorbos (except chiaki 🫡) got an unequivocally happy ending even though theyre literally danganronpa characters and by definition it doesnt exactly lend itself easily to said happy endings

Des and Alex would be soooo domestic. Alex comes back after beating the shit outta infected and Balckwatch troops and just. Collapses on Dana's couch.

They argue over who's allowed to use the controller first and end up watching horror movies for about half an hour before the power and signal cuts out bc all over the island bc they're making sure nothing gets in or out.

They banter over how the movie should or will end, when Des knocks on the door and Alex is all over him when he opens it up, like a massive koala bear. Des is so used to Dr. Mercer doing this, then trying to pretend like it was Des that jumped him like he was losing his mind that it's actually refreshing how Alex is unabashedly cuddling him.

They go over to the apartment that Des took over since most people left the vicinity of Penn Station days after Balckwatch was shooting people in broad daylight and Alex asks "wanna see something I just learned? It's cool as hell". Ofc Des agrees and it's just a montage of them play fighting as Alex shows off ALL of his abilities bc he knows Des won't be scared off or scream, with crashing and ungodly noises of destruction.

Dana peeks in hours later when things are finally silent and sees the two of them snuggled up on a completely destroyed couch (that was destroyed last time they did this, is the damn thing respawning?) and assumes they just got done doing some of the most disturbing sex stuff ever. She doesn't wanna know, doesn't ask, but can't get away without them seeing her and saying hello. It feels like the worst experience every time this happens to her bc she assumes that they're having ungodly weird virus on human sex, and they do, just never the time she peeks into the apartment. They're just playing.

A pair of familiar friends

Was rereading part of the manga where Kalego and Iruma break the familiar contract, just for it to be reinstated

and it got me thinking about how technically any demon could make a similar contract (assuming the new contract isn't permanent. It was broken and made a second time, rather than the typical demon and magical beast renewal process. That, and theirs is a demon and human contract, so there are some differences)

and that, post reveal of Iruma being a human. If he needed a new ally to summon, you know Asmodeus would jump at the opportunity. It would let him be summoned to help his soulmate from anywhere after all. Clara is Clara, she'd agree just for the chaos of it all

For Clara, being the energetic little gremlin that she is, I based mostly on a rabbit. Kept the horns and wanted to add some reptilian features based off of Connor and Murf

For Azz, I didn't want to make him look too much like his own familiar. But with how much snake imagery is associated with him and his family, it felt weird to go with any other animal. So a snake, with a furry flame-like tail. That felt too plain on its own though, so I extended his little hair tufts into a small mane of feathers

Would they be able to act as his familiars at the same time? Maybe not. We know it's not impossible to have multiple at one time, and that, as said before, this is a demon and human contract. So, it could work differently then with a demon and magical beast. In theory, it's possible, and it's more fun to imagine it working that way

2024 HRPF recs

As has become my wont, I spent the last few weeks trying to catch up on some of the new fics in the hockey RPF tag that I missed over the course of the year. I definitely didn't get to everything, or even all of the most popular ones; there may also be a bias towards shorter fics here, as I was trying to get through a lot. 😅 But I hope you enjoy, and possibly find a gem or two that you missed!

First, some general favorites:

Scoring Effects by @helenish (McDrai, 30K): Ah, Helenish. A goddess among us. I love a good mistaken identity story, and this is a GREAT mistaken identity story.

barons by dilangley (MattDrai, 43K): Future fic in which Houston gets its own expansion team, Matthew coaches it, and Leon and Trevor Zegras play on it. Gorgeously done. The Trevor POV section broke me a bit, but it was worth it.

Living Things by @makeit-takeit (TK/Patty, 115K so far): I am so deeply invested in this series. It's very real and vivid-feeling future fic that does an amazingly thoughtful job exploring the NHL wife-and-kids pipeline and what happens when that doesn't fit you as well as you thought it would. The stories that are written so far feel nicely complete, but if you'd rather hold out for the full HEA, you can check out her Wild Ice for a different highlight from the past year.

put the stars in our eyes by @notthequiettype (McDrai, 17K): the McWedding story that I wish I had written. I thought it was going to destroy me, and instead it left me all warm and fuzzy.

Lost and Found by angry_geno_is_score (MattDrai, 2K): angry_geno_is_score had so much to choose from this year, as always, and I loved this as a microcosm of the hurt/comfort they do so well. If you like it, you know where to find more from them!

Next, we move to the irresistible new Sharks babies. I'm not sure I can oversell how hot these three stories managed to be:

come on (leave me breathless) by countthestars @moondoggiestyle (Will/Mack, 10K): I've already talked about how much I loved this one. There can never be too many stories of one player catching the other getting off in the shower, especially if they're as hot as this.

revising the shoreline by ohyellowbird @teex (Will/Mack, 6K): another super well done exploring-their-sexuality-while-not-talking-about-it story, aka my kryptonite.

teamwork makes the dreamwork by canary @bigdogenergy (Will/Mack and Will/Mack/Ryan Leonard, 19K): I'm sure a lot of you have already read this in the last week or so, but I couldn't not recommend it. Mack goes into heat and Will needs an alpha to help him out. Who to call but the ex?

And then we enter the realm of vaguely devastating but gorgeously written JDTZ trade fics:

home by now by donderwolk @donderwolkenblog (Jamie/Trevor, 6K): The moment they found out about the trade, and a little bit after. Brilliant, impeccable, ruinous.

heat check by jolach @hyggles (Jamie/Trevor and also Carts/Richie, 4K): Outsider perspective on Jamie and especially Trevor as they deal with the aftermath of the trade, through the eyes of Mike Richards, who may have some experience in the area. I don't know how anyone writes this well, honestly.

Finally, one of my favorite things about reading through the past year's fics is finding a prolific new author I love who I had totally missed in my year of mostly reading people I'm already subscribed to. This year it was unsay (@tungpin). They seem to have started writing HRPF this year, and they tend toward the kind of complicated sometimes-ambiguous stories that I never manage to write but love to read. Here are a few of my favorites of theirs from this year:

malt (MattDrai, 4K): Leon meets Sasha Barkov and has feelings about how he wants to be more serious than Matthew does (OR DOES HE).

accessory to the rockstar (McDrai, 5K): once again we have Leon having thoughts about how he feels more than the person he's into, this time about Connor. Bittersweet and lovely.

the care and keeping (Jamie/Trevor, 12K): in which Trevor's friends get on Jamie's case about neglecting him post-trade, and Jamie does something about it.

That's it from me, at least for now! I know there were many excellent stories this year I didn't get to, especially the long ones that I just didn't commit to while reading for this list. Perhaps this is the year I do what I've been telling myself to do for the past two years and keep track of what I read and love throughout the year. We can only dream. 😅

Happy reading!!
