Jansen Harkins: Kobe Bryant

Michael Bunting: Roger Federer

Radim Zohorna: Ronaldo, Federer, Nadal

6+43 you pick the pairing.

6+43: Bookshop AU+Dance of Romance

This is very hard for me because I fully believe most hockey players cannot read. There is reason the Sidney Crosby School for Hockey Players Who Can’t Read Good is a thing that I believe with my whole heart that exists. You said dealers choice on the pairing so I hope you’re ready for an entire au and many, many pairings. Remember, you asked for this.

Anyway small independent bookshop owners Sid and Geno. They’re gay and married and semi-successful and it’s cute.

Kris is the bitchy barista who barged into their store one day and bullied them into adding a cafe and then took over running it.

He’s got some sort of situationship going with his longtime regular, Tristan, who has never picked up a book in all the time he’s been coming there. He is there every day for his caffeine fix and to do suduko or something else juuuuust close enough to be book adjacent but isn’t reading. I’m not sure there’s enough thoughts in Mouse Boy’s head to read a whole book. At least that’s what he wants us to think and I’m gonna give it to him.

Jake and Bryan (Rusty) are two kids Sid hired from the local college that basically never left after graduating and are still here.

Flower runs the bakery down the street and makes sure Sid has pastries for Kris to sell. He has tried and failed to lure Kris away to do coffee for the bakery. (Flower also used to work at the bookstore but left to go pursue his dream of the bakery and they love and support him but Kris isn’t leaving).

Marcus and Ricky are two Swedish dads that come in for kids storytime and let their kids play around.

They’ve started bringing new Swede-in-town Erik and his daughter with them.

Chad doesn’t work for the bookstore but will occasionally stop by kid in tow for Sid’s storytime.

Ryan Graves just got hired to run the late night shift so they can be open later. (Yes this is a graveyard shift pun)

Magnus is the delivery man who drops off and helps unload book shipments.

(This is a very crowded small bookstore)

Ned is there regularly for book club with EK, Reilly (who is new in town) and Jason (Zucker) (an old regular), along with old not quite married couple Carl and Patric (Hags&Horny).

(All people I believe can read, unlike Jarry)

Jared and Brandon are around somewhere. Probably. (Look I love them).

Zach and Conor and Teddy used to work in the store while in college but unlike Jake and Bryan they left after graduation. Some of them are still around town but some of them have moved away.

The only people I’m missing are 4th line and I’m sorry idc where cookie and neets are tbh and BJC is around. Probably. Maybe he’s a regular, maybe he works the register, idk idc.

That leaves, basically everyone you just said “hey you forgot X” aka Lars Eller and the kids/wbs. If you were wondering why I didn’t mention them, that’s because this fic is about them. Well actually it’s about DOC and POJ because my brain decided that’s the pairing. Don’t ask me why. Big Z is right there with the rest of his harem but no we’re doing PO and Drew (probably because of that silly tortilla video). Anyway all the boys are college students at the local college. Drew is in a study group with Radim, Valterri, Jansen, Vinnie, Sam (Poulin), and Ty (Smith). They’re all taking Professor Eller’s class and they meet up once or twice a week in the bookstore to drink coffee and go over the homework.

Where is PO you ask? Well he’s behind the counter working under Kris as the backup barista. Don’t worry, this romance isn’t going to be customer/barista. No, no. The reason they started meeting here is because Drew works at the bookstore. He’s been there for about a semester (and the summer) but hasn’t really spent much time in the cafe part. It’s not until Big Z talks Drew into running study sessions in the cafe that they start noticing each other.

See PO took Professor Eller’s class last year, so one day, after watching the boys struggle for with the homework for way too long, he pops out from behind the counter and sits down and helps them out. He’s welcome at the study sessions and sometimes when he’s not on shift he’ll bring his school work and while they’re majoring in different things it’s nice to bounce ideas off them.

If you want to know what they’re majoring in, actual real life DOC majored in sociology while playing for Dartmouth. PO has not been to college but he did tell Taylor that if he wasn’t gonna be an athlete he wanted to be a vet or a psychologist so I’m going with he wants to be a Vet Tech and is majoring in whatever is the veterinary sciences equivalent of premed is.

Anyway they hang out at work more and more. This goes on for like a month and then Geno comes up with a big idea for a fall event. They’re doing a Halloween party. Jake and Bryan and Drew and PO have to help decorate the store and on the day of it’s filled with college students, kids, and regulars. Drew is trying desperately to avoid getting his cheek pinched by the old ladies from the knitting circle again. PO is safe because he’s behind the cafe counter serving drinks. PO has fake vampire fangs as his costume. Drew showed up in a not-couples costume with Big Z. If you wanna know what everyone else wore, please see this photo. Except I’m pretty sure Kris is either a prey mantis or the letits are out whichever option makes you, dear reader, feel more insane.

Eventually Sid and Geno shooo all their employees to go mingle and have fun. Drew and PO end up in the makeshift dance floor, music blaring, and after a couple jokes and a some negging from their friends, PO gives Drew a half twirl or something and they laugh it off before the song is even over.

It’s not until later when they’re cleaning up, all alone, music still going in the background, that they start joking about it and one thing leads to another and they actually dance. PO gives drew the full twirl. They bust a move. They slow dance a bit. They’ve never been this close. They’ve only casually touched and now they’re pressed up against each other. They’ve been hanging out at the bookstore outside of study group and Ohohoho what’s this? A feelings realization. Except wait. They’re both idiot college students. So they both awkwardly disengage to go do their job and part ways.

In the following days things are so completely awkward between them at work that Kris throws PO out of the cafe and won’t let him back until he can look Drew in the eye. Drew meanwhile cancels study session because he doesn’t know how to be normal around PO. Don’t worry they can’t continue like that for long. You see there’s a big test coming up and Z ropes PO into helping Drew out cause it’s like 40% of their final grade and Drew has been failing the at-home practice tests something terrible.

They end up staying way later than the rest of the study group going over this exam. Its way late at night, only Ryan is there to lock up behind them, and PO has just spent 4 hours explaining the test back to front - forgetting his awkwardness in the face of his determination to make sure Drew doesn’t fail. Drew definitely stares at PO explaining for a little too long, decides fuck it and goes in for a kiss. These are idiot college boys so instead they bump noses or headbutt each other or something. Poor boys. Can’t even do a surprise kiss correctly. Drew apologizes and then they do have the confession conversation and then the actual kiss. And more kisses. After that, more studying.

The end.

Its definitely valid. In this house we love and support Kris Letang teaching his son about drinking his Respect Women Juice.

[burning-up-ao3]

From the Point  Nov. 22, 2019

This unrelenting run of injuries this season has provided the Penguins and their fans a couple of things. Well, beyond disbelief and fits of rage. Extended absences for Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Kris Letang and several others served as a reminder that the aforementioned Big Three are indeed mortal and on the wrong side of 30. They have also forced us to get a glimpse at the next wave of Penguins. That got me thinking this week about what the roster will look like three years from now. There will be significant turnover. Only seven players who were on the 23-man roster for the 2016-17 opener are still here. I'd say there is a decent likelihood that at least one of Crosby, Malkin and Letang is not on the team at the start of the 2022-23 season. For this projection, I opted to identify only the guys whom I believe have a chance of 80 percent or greater to be on the squad in 2022. These 80-percenters include prospects. I'll also give my rationale for not including some notable players with iffy long-term outooks. FORWARDS: Sidney Crosby: Crosby, who will be 35 when the puck drops on 2022-23, will play for the Pens as long as he wants. He's got a lot of tread on the tires, so you worry about injuries. But if he can stay relatively healthy, he has the smarts and skill to remain highly impactful. Jake Guentzel: Guentzel, who is near a 40-goal pace again this season, signed a team-friendly extension to stick around for several more years. He figures to earn multiple All-Star nods. Brandon Tanev: There was much hand wringing after the Penguins gave a six-year contract to this grinder. But his $3.5 million salary seems appropriate at the moment given the juice he's brought. In three years, if the cap keeps rising, that deal may still be OK. Teddy Blueger: As one of the charter members of #TeamTeddy, I'm projecting a little bit here. Bottom-six centers like Blueger are far from untouchable. But I think his game continues to blossom and he should come cheap. Pencil him in as the third-line center. Sam Lafferty: Like Blueger, the Hollidaysburg native can be locked in at a reasonable salary and may prove to be a useful winger. He's fast, has a little size and is a two-way player. Samuel Poulin: The 2019 first-rounder impressed the Penguins in camp and the preseason. He's been a beast for his junior team – did you see this goal? – and could be ready to seriously challenge for a roster spot next fall. He'll be an established NHLer by 2022. Nathan Legare: The goal-scoring winger, who was childhood friends with Poulin, might have more upside than Legare. He's got that big shot. If he improves his skating and rounds out his game, look out. OK, let's talk about the omissions. The big one is Malkin, whose deal is up after the 2021-22 season. I think he will be back. But it's below 80 pecent. Will Geno want to finish up in sunny Miami or less-sunny Magnitogorsk? Another tough decision was Patric Hornqvist. He'll make $5.3 million in 2022-23 but it's fair to wonder how this warrior's body will hold up. There are high hopes for prospect Filip Hallander but he will have to adjust to North American hockey. DEFENSEMEN: Brian Dumoulin: There is praise for Dumoulin below so I will keep it brief here. He is one of the NHL's most underrated blue-liners and his bargain contract runs through 2022-23. John Marino: The only question I have is whether the Hockey Hall of Fame will make Marino the first active player to be inducted or if he'll have to wait until the second he retires. Marcus Pettersson: The Penguins plan to lock up the lanky Swede long-term after they are allowed to on Jan. 1. Pettersson will be just 26 when the 2022-23 season begins. Calen Addison: Addison, a slick-skating righty with plenty of swagger, might reach the NHL within the next year. He has 21 points in 23 games for his junior team. He needs to get better defensively. But the puck-mover is a perfect fit for the Penguins. You surely noticed that Letang and Justin Schultz did not make this list. Schultz will be a free agent after this season and might not fit into the team's budget. Letang is in the same boat as Malkin. His contract also expires in the summer of 2022. And while there is a decent chance he finishes his career here, the odds might be closer to 50/50. As for the prospects, I thought about including Pierre-Olivier Joseph but he's not a sure thing to make the NHL. GOALIES: Matt Murray: That's it. That's the list. Opinions are split on Murray here in Pittsburgh, but the ones that matter most are in Penguins management, and they'd like to sign Murray to a new deal this summer. Given his unique resume and that he will be an RFA, this negotiation should be fascinating. But it will be surprising if something doesn't get done here.

THREE STARS OF THE PAST WEEK 3. Brandon Tanev. The endearingly obnoxious winger got bumped up to the second line to play with Jared McCann and predictably provided a spark. He also chipped in with some offense, too. He had two assists in the win over Toronto then two goals Tuesday. 2. Bryan Rust. Rust has been unreal since returning from that hand injury, scoring eight goals in 11 games. He had a goal in each of the last three games. The entire top line has been really good. Evgeni Malkin and Jake Guentzel have meshed pretty well with Rust's help. 1. Brian Dumoulin. You might be scratching your head at this one, but he has quietly remained excellent without Kris Letang. Playing next to John Marino, Dumoulin had a plus-7 rating the last three games, showing he's more than just Letang's trusty sidekick. 

  EXITING THE ZONE Sign me up for a Pens-Isles rematch in the playoffs. All three meetings this month were wildly entertaining. ... It was a little surprising to see Juuso Riikola get scratched Thursday. He remains inconsistent, but with Letang and Schultz out, you'd figure coach Mike Sullivan would want him in the lineup for power play purposes. Sullivan used Dumoulin instead, but I'd have given Marino a look on the top unit. ... Matt Murray has been better than his average .907 save percentage would indicate, but the Penguins, with Crosby and other key players out, needed him to steal one of those overtimes against the Islanders. Neither of Brock Nelson's game-winners were particularly impressive. ... With Crosby out, faceoffs have been a big problem. The Penguins won just 39.7 percent of them the last three games. ... When the Penguins brought back both Chad Ruhwedel and Zach Trotman with cheap contracts this offseason, I thought it was redundant. In hindsight, I'm a dope. Rutherford learned at some point during his long Hall of Fame career that you can't have too many righties on D.

(OC) Frenchifying the Canadiens (An Alternate Reality)

(This is the squeakquel threequel to Moneyballing the Senators and Covertly Tanking the Wild)It's August 2019. Marc Bergevin and Trevor Timmins are sitting in the Montreal Canadiens' war room when the phone rings. It's Geoff Molson, the team president and co-owner.Hey guys, it's Geoff. I'm gonna cut a long story short - the province's Minister for Sports has apparently stumbled on some... compromising information about this organization. For legal reasons I'm not gonna get into it, but it implicates all of us in the front office. The good news is that he says he's not going to put it out there for the sake of the franchise and the city. The bad news is that he has one demand, and I don't think we'll be able to get out of it. He's a bit of a nationalist, you know? Very vive la Québec francophone and all that. He says the worst thing that ever happened to les Habs was when they started letting Ontarians and Americans on the team, and that he stopped watching when they made Saku Koivu captain. He told me he'll shred all the dirt he has on us if we make the Canadiens a 100% Québecois team by October. I know that puts you in a tough situation guys, but good luck guys!Bergevin and Timmins look at eachother in shock."Well at least this will save us a shit-ton on amateur scouting""This isn't funny Trevor, what the hell are we going to do? I guess I'll start sending out feelers and hopefully we'll be ready by opening night. If we rush this we'll lose every trade and look like imbéciles""No, Marc, we have to get all of this done now. Tonight. You think we'll lose these trades if we hurry? If McKenzie somehow gets wind of this and tweets it out we're gonna be icing a fucking QMJHL team this year. We need to do this all at once before anyone figures out what's going on.""Merde you're fucking right.""Think about it though Marc. If you brought a Cup to Montreal with a bunch of Anglos and Americans on the ice you'd be a hero, sure. But if you get les Canadiens une Coupe with all French guys they'll add your biceps to the fucking fleur de lis. Let's just do it and be légendes, frère.""Alright. Get me a list of every son of a bitch in this league with an accent aigu in their name, a six pack of Taureau Rouge, and 29 more phones."Six Hours Later​Bobby Margarita @TSNBobMcKenzieIt's probably nothing, but I'm hearing that the NHL trade line has about 12 trades pending.​Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNICHabs have signed Pominville (1.5M), Chartier (0.75M) and Bourque (0.7M) to 1 year contracts.​Bobby Margarita @TSNBobMcKenzieA lot of talk around the Habs right now.

The Canadiens' front office pulled off all of these trades simultaneously, and not a single other GM realized what was going on. Sure they guessed that the Habs were targeting their French players (what else is new?) but they were as shocked as anyone when they started getting frantic texts as soon as they had submitted the deals to the league.Hockey media is a mess. TSN has interrupted their coverage of Canadian U20 Cricket regionals and dispatched the Bellicopter to retrieve Bobby Margarita from the Muskoka wilderness; analytics bloggers are frantically assembling heat maps and charts to make some sense of the madness; podcasters are recording 6-hour episodes.Bergevin and Timmins are asleep, and will be until the afternoon. They'll wake up to a copy of Le Devoir and the Montreal Gazette on the front porch of the Bell Centre with competing editorials:Montreal Gazette - August 11 2019"What the Hell did Bergevin Just Do?"MONTREAL, QC - NHL teams aren't put together in a day - it takes years of scouting, developing, trading, and signing to put together a team that can compete for the Stanley Cup. To succeed, managers have to be able to set aside their biases - for certain types of players, for action, and for nationality - and make rational, measured decisions.Apparently nobody told Marc Bergevin that.On Saturday night, Bergevin blew up a team that finished as close to a playoff spot as is humanly possible. Usually in hockey "blowing up a team" means trading a few core pieces; in this case it meant a rabid simultaneous onslaught of 13 trades replacing 90% of the roster and a large chunk of the prospect cupboard. And why? So that the insecurity of nationalist Francophones can be resurrected on the Bell Centre (excuse me, Centre Bell) ice, and the worst nostalgic tendencies of our society can play out below the retired number banners of Doug Harvey, Larry Robinson, and Bernie Geoffrion.Maybe this team will be a Cup contender, maybe they won't be. But the message that Marc Bergevin has sent to the thousands of children who watch the Montreal Canadiens (many of whose Weber or Price jerseys are now suddenly out of date) is one of exclusion and tribalism. And he, and Geoff Molson, and every element of our province responsible for this idiocy should be ashamed.Le Devoir - 11 Août 2019"Bergevin: le sauveur du hockey québécois"MONTRÉAL, QC - Avant jeudi soir, le mandat du directeur général des Canadiens, Marc Bergevin, était controversé. Pour chaque échange intelligente, il en avait un autre qui était horrible. Mais maintenant, il n’ya aucun doute: Marc Bergevin est un héros.Les Canadiens de Montréal participeront à une coupe Stanley ce printemps, et ce, avec une formation entièrement née et élevée au Québec pour la première fois en près de cent ans. Les enfants de la belle province seront inspirés, et le hockey québécois retrouvera enfin sa place sacrée au sommet. Une nouvelle génération de fierté française, de renouveau national et de domination du hockey est à portée de main. Et il n'y a aucun doute sur qui est responsable. Vive Bergevin!​How did it turn out in the end? Let's just say that the Fleurgevin was hanging in every classroom in the province by the summer.Hope you enjoyed, if you have any ideas for a future thing like this let me know!
