mattdrai fic recs - masterlist

always check the warnings and tags for yourself before reading!! i will probably update this whenever i find a new mattdrai fic i really really enjoy, so be on the lookout if you’re interested!!

by request of @keyshui @whirlpool-blogs & @capsvsducks

medium-to-long fics (in no particular order):

1. slip under the tongue into translation by lighthousetowers ~ 32.2k words ~ mature: the quintessential mattdrai fic, at least in my mind. the vibes are wonderful, the chemistry is palpable, matthew learns german.

2. gather your broken lessons and move by rumandwhine ~ 30.4k words ~ explicit: cathartic, set in the 2028-2029 season, mattdrai figures some stuff out, davo does some best-friending.

3. comment for engagement by RippingOffZeppelin ~ 27.9k words ~ mature: matthew makes a youtube channel for PR purposes. a fic i had so so much fun reading. pretty lighthearted.

4. head above water by yourblues ~ 91.1k words ~ explicit: as far as i’m concerned, this is canon. this fic will make you feel every emotion. the slow burn and enemies to lovers hits hard. by far one of my favorites on this list. it’s a necessary read for any mattdrai fan, and i’ve personally reread it countless times. iconic quotes, iconic story, iconic scenes. i want this story to be engraved on my headstone when i die. also make sure to check out the author’s playlist on spotify after— it’s wonderful.

5. Growing Into Someone by blaahaj ~ 46.4k words ~ explicit: matthew goes to germany during the lockout… leon’s already there. these two figuring out their stuff in a foreign country *chef’s kiss*— a truly fantastic fic that i adore. the slow burn slow burns for sure.

6. Muscle Memory by blaahaj ~ 21.9k words ~ mature: i don’t even like most amnesia fics, but i love this one. memory loss on matthew’s side. this view of mattdrai is so cool while they learn to love each other again.

7. but please (don’t) bite by orphan_account ~ 52.7k words ~ mature: an alternate reality where leon and matthew were unprotected and thus drafted by the kraken. the slow burn sure slow burns (if i remember correctly). also features some cool cameos by one of the lomls: the wonderful braden holtby.

8. Nothing Good Happens After 2 A.M. by irrelevanttous ~ 11.9k words ~ mature: leon slips up and tells matthew he loves him. matthew does some thinking. cool take on how they got together.

9. The Day Leon Draisaitl Swore Never To Buy Another Apple Product Again by irrelevanttous ~ 9.3k words ~ explicit: mattdrai figuring their crap out kinda, lotsa spice. smexy with a plot??

10. the kids are alright by lighthousetowers ~ 55.8k words ~ mature: matthew is a preschool teacher, leon’s still an oiler, a meet-cute and adorable romance ensue! the characterization is so cool, as it dives deeper in than just “matthew’s a nuisance, leon’s serious and slightly moody” and shows the two of them in a relatively new light. an amazing and enjoyable read!! plus, this is one of my favorite authors!!

shorter fics (in no particular order):

1. i got a bad idea by canoodles ~ 5.5k words ~ explicit: from the 2020 all-star game onwards. as the author put it: leon accidentally fucks himself into a relationship with the enemy. those early mattdrai vibes when they were both still in alberta.

2. A Reunion, a Beginning, and the Thief of Awkward Silences by puckedup ~ 3.3k words ~ mature: leon misses matthew being in alberta. they play each other in florida and things happen. some chirping (flirting???) (it’s hard to tell with these two) and overall a fun story.

3. sweet like honey by indydriver ~ 3.6k words ~ teen and up: chirping, flirting, and the gray area that exists between those two things. fun and lighthearted.

4. retrograde by ohtempora ~ 1.5k words ~ mature: leon’s first time in matthew’s florida house. matthew is learning to adjust sorta kinda. the author describes it perfectly in their author’s note, about how florida’s weird vibes transferred to the fic itself. it’s so wonderfully written with a super consistent tone and a really interesting view into matthew transitioning from calgary to florida.

5. found arms to fall right into by orphan_account ~ 6.3k words ~ mature: just super fun, matthew and leon are sort of fake maybe-dating??? this fic also has perfect amounts of brady and davo. a really enjoyable story that i really really recommend.

6. Hourglass Theory by puckedup ~ 1.3k words ~ not rated: fluffy, soft, soft boys. aftermath of mitchy and chucky’s lil brawl and pietrangelo’s slash on leon.

7. Emergency Contact by blaahaj ~ 1.8k words ~ teen and up: funnyyyy, quick chick flick, just a fun little mattdrai moment, established mattdrai.

8. Privileged Information by blaahaj ~ 3k words ~ teen and up: sequel to Growing Into Someone. fun fluff and an enjoyable little snippet/add-on to the series.

9. what my heart just yearns to say by puckthisshift ~ 6.3k words ~ mature: as the author aptly puts it: idiots to lovers. matthew understands some german dirty talk, shenanigans ensue. a super fun, quick read.

10. cut by daisysusan ~ 2k words ~ teen and up: established relationship, the writing style is SO GOOD, matthew and leon’s chemistry is tangible, alternate 2023 playoffs, the two are just adorable with each other.

11. In Which Leon Recognizes Tkachuk in a Dick Pic and Has Some Explaining to Do (But Only to Himself) by irrelevanttous ~ 8.1k words ~ mature: oilers shenanigans, jealous drat, realizations, davo being the best bff, a fun fic.

12. Should’ve Given You a Reason to Stay by scruffylou ~ 1k words ~ not rated: super short, a bit emotional, aftermath of matthew signing with the cats.

13. portions for foxes by wheelsnipecellysboys ~ 5.2k words ~ explicit: the chemistry is so well-written— i love the two of them in this story. sexy times and also emotions. matthew in florida and the 2023 asg.

14. break the news (you’re walking out) by kiwilies ~ 1.5k words ~ teen and up: such a captivating writing style. perfectly showcases the tension of moving from a location you’ve known for years to somewhere brand new. such an interesting dynamic between leon and matthew, while at a bit more than 1k words, doesn’t dive extremely deep into their relationship. very enjoyable fic that has a lot of artistry implemented by the author. so so cool.

WHICH matthew tkachuk fic please

okay so i remember exactly what you're talking about and i think it was something along the lines of "it's not gay if his mascara is running down his face" or something like that and i said "that one matthew tkachuk fic" but i can't find the post so sorry about that

The fic that I was thinking of is sweet disposition by @keyshui (love their writing) which isn't quite that but it does have the matthew tkachuk in makeup and tenderhorny feelings about that so highly recommend giving it a read if you haven't already

[aire-bnb]

@keyshui Matthew Tkachuk per your request! 🫡

List 3 ships I like: cross-fandom trash that I am: McMattDrai, Winterhawk, Jay/Slade

First ship ever: oh wow, so I am old as DIRT. Gundam Wing, 3x5 was like... the first ship I wrote for?? DON'T SEARCH, you won't find the fic.

Last Song I heard: October Passed Me By (by Girl in Red) from a new playlist I'm still trying to settle into.

Favorite Childhood Book: the real answer? Strange Pilgrims by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Huh, you might say, that collection of short stories is dare I say, E rated. You're right. My grandmother gave it to me and then she died so... I read the shit out of that. Uh, the less wildly inappropriate answer that STILL explains a lot about me? The Little Prince by by Saint-Exupery. No, I didn't read it in French until high school torture french.

Currently Reading Now: hrpf like... that's it. But for my real life? A lot of textile history books.

Currently Watching: hockey. I'm not good at watching tv shows because I hate literally everything (I also hate hockey but I love it too). I recently tried that TERRIBLE Apple TV adaptation of The Buccaneers and like. Holy FUCK. Costumes are revolting, production design is garbage, anachronistic social behavior is rampant, but the soundtrack is full of bangers and some of the (certainly not from Edith herself) dialogue is pretty cute.

Currently Consuming: Diet Dr Pepper #2

Currently Craving: a good excuse to get out of going out to dinner with a friend from grad school tomorrow night.

Tagged by @ephhemeralite and @capsvsducks (aaaaaaa I’m sorry it took so long!)

(Organized starting by the most recent)

1. Dressed in nothing but gold

Willy’s fingers are tight in Mitch’s hair, he tugs him back far enough to see his back arch, poised and ready, a bow preparing to fire.

2. Hot Blue Mess

“Please,” he gasps, “please please please please please,“

3. Paying what’s owed

Of course Crosby’s here.

4. Why the fuck is there a PRIEST?

He just wants this nonsense to be over with.

5. BAM-BAM!

Andy leans in, stretching his arm; the cabinet door is too narrow for him to reach in further, and he still can’t get to the tape down there.

6. Pink Whitney doesn’t taste like lemonade; you’re just an alcoholic

They’re trying to watch a football game, or more accurately, Whitney is trying to watch a football game while Biz is doing everything in his power to obstruct him from doing so.

7. Do you think you deserve a kiss?

Kailer looks beautiful on his knees, flushed and panting, already hard in anticipation.

8. Inevitably you will burn (as all living things do)

Max knows he shouldn’t mess with this. He knows .

(Disclaimer, the actual first three lines of the fic are a poem that joy sent to get me to write the fic, but I imagine the game is more about writing trends so I’m using the first written line.)

9. If this Eichel/Tkachuk Rumor is True, it Would’ve BLOWN UP the NHL…

“Nobody’s gonna know,” Matthew whispers against Jack’s lips.

(I feel like I need to defend my title choice here. This post is what inspired the fic)

10. Dude, like, why can’t we just print more money?

“Ughh!!” Trevor groans, flopping down on the couch next to Jamie.

I’m actually shocked that I’ve GOT over 10 fics out there. Man. That’s crazy. This was fun tho!!!! Thanks for the tag guys :)

I can’t really see a specific pattern other than liking to start by using people’s names, my writing style is far from consistent.

Opening line pattern tag game

Rules: list the first line of the last ten (10) stories you published (or you can do what i did and add a WIP). Look to see any patterns you notice yourself, and see if anyone else notices any.

Tagged by @keyshui - thank you so much!! 1. “How’s your jaw, Bedard?” a guy Connor couldn’t immediately place asked him as soon as he stepped out of the post-game shower.  (Come Undone, Leon Draisaitl/Connor Bedard with a little implied Mattdrai, E, 5K)

2. Matthew stood with his back to the room at the hotel bar, fiddling with his phone. (Far from Home, Mattdrai, M, 2k,)

3. 5 days. Matthew stares at his mobile with a scowl on his face. (Someone to Stay, Mattdrai, E, 3k)

4. Matthew opens the door to Leon’s apartment without switching the lights on. (Blurred Edges, Mattdrai, E, 3K)

5. Leon is awake even before the door to his bedroom opens fully. (Falling Apart, Mattdrai, E, 2k)

Plus one WiP as I haven't posted more fics: 6. Leon’s blood buzzed with the cheers of his teammates celebrating their win, the jeers of the hometown crowd mixing in, making his blood only hotter. (untitled Mattdrai Winner's room AU as my FTH contribution :))

Pattern: I definitely like to start with a person, not with describing the scene or something like that. And not a pattern but I experimented a bit with the tense I like to write and settled on past tense.

I'm tagging @puckthisshift, @offside-the-lines, @fannyyann (no pressure of course) and everyone who wants to do this!

“Leon wants to cut his ears off. He’s never wished more to be completely deaf and perfectly unaware than nowbefore. Oblivion would be a blessing at a time like this.

  He has, unfortunately, two perfectly functional ears, and is extremely aware of the noises being made behind the wall between his and Connor’s bedroom.”

 or, Matthew and Connor have a tradition of hooking up during Gary’s summer training. Leon wants nothing to do with it.
