#mcdavid headcanon

[sergeifyodorov]

Nathan MacKinnon for the hockey impressions ask please. If you have not already done so.

I actually have no idea what my first impression of nathan mack was; the earliest thoughts i can remember thinking might have been Terminal Sidney Obsession, so let’s start with that. Wow, I think, looking at people discussing this freak on the internet, that guy is really into sidney crosby

IMPRESSION NOW

Wow, this guy is really into Sidney Crosby

Mostly, Natemac strikes me as just… a real fridge of a man, a two-hundred-pound slab of muscle with a crooked nose. (the nose is good)(love the nose). He’s almost entirely a creature of obsessive hyperfixation and complete bullheaded determination -- you can see this in even just the way he skates, which has a forward momentum to it that even faster skaters like McDavid can’t match. Moves like a train, no real control or delicacy but good god you better get out of the way.

A tangled mess of feelings and emotion that he’s super terrible at understanding, even if he has the good grace to know how bad he is at understanding those feelings, which actually does help quite a bit. If I were to guess, I’d sum up those feelings as “blinding rage,” “all-encompassing desire to win,” and “ferda.”

This sort of all-things-lead-to-either-W-or-L worldview leads him to develop a very black and white way of thinking… especially re food. im not gonna say he has an eating disorder but i very much have heard he thinks things like milk are poison so whatever his relationship with food is it’s certainly not healthy

Oh my god he wants to fuck Sid so damn bad. I don’t even pretend to have vibe-based takes on his sexuality but gay or straight he wants to fuck Sid so bad

FAV MOMENT

i , as with … probably many of you, grew to know natemac during the iconique avs 2022 cup run, and esp since my leafs got eliminated early i got to watch a lot of it. Fav natemac moment is definitely the hat trick against the blues, topped off with the third goal, which was just a gorgeous end-to-end coasting that you could FEEL coming from a mile away. So that’s probably my fav natemac moment i am after all a simple hockey watcher sometimes

IDEA FOR STORY

sidnate nate’s-a-penguin au mayhaps… actually no idea. 

i find nate just an absolutely fascinating character simply because of his tangled ball of Emotional Problems, but because he’s so single-minded in all of them it’s actually hard to maincharacterize. like he’s got nuance, he’s got flow, he just doesn’t have the dimension to carry out a story in which he is the main actor. Get that boy into an ensemble cast

UNPOPULAR OPINION

I don’t know of enough opinion on natemac to know what’s popular and what’s unpopular… but i do not think he should be the avs captain in the future if/when landy gives it up. Imho that’s cale’s c to take (or mikko’s, even)… natemac is obviously a leader but he’s just too goddamn much of a control freak you can’t take this bitch anywhere. Like everyone needs a freak who will stand up for the team but if that guy is given free reign to yell at any time because there’s a c on his chest he will do so. i like the avs nathan’s mad-with-power arc would not suit them…

FAV RELATIONSHIP

Are you kidding me

FAV HEADCANON

he thinks milk is poison not because of its fat/sugar/caloric content but because he is lactose intolerant and unaware of it

[calnoc]

trans girl connie mcdavid headcanon is like taking heroin, once you start thinking about it you cant stop

[gaydraisaitl]

so like obviously matthew has a praise kink, and leon idk. he's a little, vanilla enigma who wants sex with lots of emotional fortitude and pretty much no kink....but u get it. but if you add in CONNOR???? my headcanon is that mcdavid has a huuuuuuge degredation kink. like with someone he trusts? bc he hears how good he is A Lot and hearing someone essentially chirping him while he gets off is so good???? soooo good

[shelterforananimal]

Ghost hockey headcanons bc I’m combining my hyperfixation and special interest okay? The player comparisons probably tell you that I’m a Devils fan. Under a read more because it got long.

Dew - star center. He’s got the kind of flair that the commentators would get salty and call him a show-off for (think Trevor Zegras). People thought he’d be too small to take the hits and protect himself, but he’s actually one of the toughest players in the league. Not afraid to fight, and very good at it. Connor McDavid type speed, quick boy.

Aether - defenseman. First line with Rain. Great 200-ft player. Offensive defenseman. Slapshots 24/7. Commentators are always calling him a “big body”. Big hits, but a huge goofball at the same time. Loves to laugh and joke with the team, and even opponents when he can. Dougie Hamilton vibes.

Rain - defenseman. First line with Aether. Ultra-precise. Incredible stickhandling. Beast in the defensive and neutral zones, but sometimes gets overwhelmed in the offensive zone. When he gets flustered, he makes some mistakes (i.e. passing when he has an open lane for a shot). When he’s not flustered, he’s completely untouchable. Wicked wristers. Think Connor Bedard when Rain is being confident.

Mountain - goalie. Calm most of the time, barely shows it outwardly when he is frustrated. Moderately superstitious. Does the thing where he squirts water into the air and watches it fall to focus himself. Biggest weakness is his upper left. Doesn’t venture out of the goal much. Pretty much opposite of MA Fleury. Maybe more like a Jake Oettinger.

Swiss - center. Second line with Cirrus and Cumulus. Used to be first line until Dew took his spot. He used to be a little bitter about it, but now he’s just happy to be winning. Even showier than Dew, though he makes more mistakes trying to be so. Ironically better for assists than goals. Switches between positions when they shuffle the lines, sometimes on either wing. Has even filled in as a defenseman a few times.

Cumulus - right wing. Second line with Cirrus and Swiss. Their line is one of the most dangerous in the league, especially when they’re in the zone. Never misses a rebound. Great at screening the goalie. Not afraid to get into the crowd in front of the net, or a scrum on the ice. Chris Kreider “big jet, no pilot” vibes on occasion.

Cirrus - left wing. Second line with Cumulus and Swiss. Deflection goals all day. Even more dangerous on wrap-around goals. Has an almost telepathic link with Cumulus and always knows exactly where she is to land a pass right on her tape. Fantastic hockey IQ - always two plays ahead of everyone else. Think second-season Jack Hughes.

Sunshine - defenseman. Second line. Small but she packs a punch. Underestimated at first, but lays some of the hardest hits in the division. Hangs back at the blue line to keep the puck in the offensive zone when the opponent tries to fire it out. Fantastic at blocking shots, not afraid to throw herself down to do so. Relatively strong Ryan Graves vibes.

Copia/Papa - coach. Used to be a second-line center before retirement. Level-headed. Not one for yelling, but will scold the team if they’re making stupid mistakes. Believes in positive reinforcement and dishes out lots of encouragement. Probably the opposite of Alain Vigneault.

All-time favorite pairing? Pairing that makes no sense to you? Favorite platonic pairing? Favorite headcanon?

HI SOREY ANON !!!

so oooi idek!!!! I have a lot of hockey pairings I love but tbh. neil josten/andrew minyard <3

pairing that makes no sense has to be connor mcdavid and jack eichel tbh,,,,,

THE HUGHES BROS 🫶🫶🫶 I LOVE THEMMMM

oh dude I don’t even know im sorry 😭😭😭 my mind is blanking

[dearbarzal]

for when he wins - connor mcdavid

henlo, this is my first headcanon!!! i originally wrote this for my friend clary after her man scored a hatty during the game against jets and i got overexcited. i hope i’m doing this correctly lol

word count: 1.1k

warnings: language, slight nsfw

you were surprised when your boyfriend texted you that he’s coming home, he was supposed to stay on the road for the next four days

but your excitement drowned your confusion. connor just had his third hat trick this season, and you’re more than proud of him after how bad his last game against the canadiens went, not to mention violent and brutal

you grinned at the memory of what the two of you did after the said game

he brought his pent up anger to your bedroom—no, actually your couch first. and then the bedroom. but you made sure to talk to him about your concerns

he said sorry and spooned you and treated you like his queen as he should afterwards

now they handed the jets’ asses to them. maybe rough sex is really what he needed

you turned the tv off after the game ended and went to your bedroom, walking straight to your bathroom and picking up some candles from the cupboard

you rarely do this, but you thought that connor deserves a reward for being the best player and the best boyfriend ever

you just finished preparing when you heard the front door open. then the sound of his voice that always woke up something inside you. “baby, i’m home.”

you tangled the ribbon of the robe you’re now wearing before walking out to meet him

he smiled when he saw you coming barefoot with an unintentional messy hair. for him, it still feels surreal to be coming home to you. no matter how sore his body was after the game, everything feels better with the sight of you

you equaled his smile before tiptoeing to reach him for a hug, and damn his height, you cursed softly

he chuckled before leaning down to you and kissing your neck. and then your lips. he lingered there, giving you small, soft kisses like he’s been on the road for a year

“you did really well today, love. i’m proud of you.”

“that was for you.”

“uhuh?” you smiled sweetly. you have planned out everything that will happen for the rest of the night. but your boyfriend just had to pull you out of your thoughts with another kiss. “come with me.”

you lead him to the bathroom where the warm water was already running. you set up candles and scents and everything that made the bathroom peaceful and calming

you looked at him and found his mouth slightly opened in surprise, taking in everything that you prepared. you kissed his jaw and his eyes moved to you with adoration

“strip, love.” you smiled at him

he didn’t hesitate before pulling off the shirt he’s wearing. you helped him a bit until he’s completely naked in front of you

not a second later, he pushed you against the bathroom wall and dipped in to your lips

you raised your eyebrow, silently reminding him of the little talk you had about aggression and post-game roughness

he smiled and said a small sorry before making his way to your lips again, but you pushed him slightly and shook your head. this wasn’t what you planned

“save the rough sex for when you lose, babe. i’m going to take care of you tonight.”

you pulled him towards the tub but he didn’t bulge. instead, he tugged you back. he switched off the water and lead you towards the shower. you tried resisting him but he shushed you with another kiss. seriously, this man knows your weakness and would gladly use it against you

“no, no. tonight, i’m the one to take care of you. because you are the best. the best girlfriend, the best best friend — don’t tell leon i said that — and i’m so over the fucking moon just thinking that i’m the one with you right now. i mean it, baby. you could have anyone you wanted, but you had me. i don’t know what i did in my past life to have you in this.”

you stared at him in awe. for some reasons, you had the exact same thoughts earlier. that’s why you did this in the first place

his hands traveled to the ribbons of your robe before whispering to you, “may i?”

you nodded. he tugged it and let it fall. he discarded your robe and tossed it away, giving you another passionate kiss before turning the shower on

water dripped onto your head, down to your shoulder blades. connor kissed every part of your body that was touched with water

but that was only that. he reached for the soap, made foam, and lathered it in your body. you tried doing the same for him but he swatted your hands away. “i’m babying you tonight. not the other way around.”

so you resorted to occasionally kissing him whenever you got the chance. his chest. his chin. his jaw. he was so focused on your body that his forehead was scrunched. you found it adorable and kissed it too

he then proceeded to shampooing your hair. he lathered and massaged your scalp, making you close your eyes because of how good it felt

you opened your eyes and saw him looking at you with pure adoration. you couldn’t help but lean forward and reach for his lips. he didn’t swat you away, this time, and kissed you back

“i love you, you know that?” you murmured

“yes, but not as much as i do.”

eventually, he let you do the same for him. you massaged each other’s scalp and body, with the occasional— no, frequent making out in between. but it doesn’t go farther from that. intimacy doesn’t always mean sex, and both of you understand that

in the end, you rinsed and put on a new robe. you stepped out of the bathroom to sit on your bed. connor leaned against the bathroom’s doorway, looking at you intently while still half naked

his brows suddenly creased as if he remembered something

“i don’t agree with the whole ‘rough sex’s only for when we lose’, babe.”

“yeah?” you grinned, because he really looked so hot and bothered now

“i don’t think the team will appreciate it when i purposely mess up just so i could have you,” he said again. you shook your head while chuckling. but his face remained serious. “we have to do something about it.”

he removed the towel covering his lower body and walked towards you, removing your robe and pushing you towards the bed. he kissed you passionately. one look and the both of you know what’s about to happen next

maybe rough sex is for when he wins, too

Connor McDavid as a Dad

It was requested but I lost the request

When you’re shopping for things, Connor is just in awe of how small everything for the baby has to be

Even when the baby arrives, he’s amazed by how small it is

Like the newborns on TV shows are always so big

You have to let him know those babies are played by three-month-olds

Connor shows the pictures of the baby to all his teammates

And those who work at the rink

Basically, anyone who will stop long enough for him to put his phone in their face

Connor feels kind of left out  due to how much time he has to spend away from you and the baby

Due to the unique nature of his job, Connor appreciates doing the mundane parenting tasks like changing diapers or burping the baby

Who knows if he’ll come back from a roadtrip and all of the sudden the baby won’t need him anymore

Sometimes he’ll come back and the baby won’t recognized him if his hair has gotten longer or he’s grown a beard

You feel so bad for him

You make sure he gets plenty of quality time with the baby when he can

Plus you appreciate the break it gives you

To finally take a nap or wash your hair

Connor likes to put the baby in the stroller and push it around the block

I see him as an anxious guy with the baby

Even if it’s kind of silly

Like in the front facing stroller, Connor is checking every couple of steps to make sure baby McDavid hasn't slipped out

His heartbeat settles once he sees it still tucked under the blanket

Lets out a lil coo when it sees it’s dad and makes grabby hands at him

Connor talks to the baby, as they pass the various houses

He points out which ones also have kids in them

Which ones hand out king sized candy bars during Halloween

He can get carried away and before he knows he’s meandered into the woods

It’s dark and the streetlights have turned on

But the baby lets him know it’s feeding time

Connor sprints back home and he’s glad you talked him into getting the jogging stroller 

When Connor gets home you’re probably still asleep on the couch so he searches online and calls him mom to figure out how to heat up the milk you prepared for the baby

Connor forward to the offseason

Not only will he get to be with the baby more

But he’s arranged private swimming lessons which as just him holding the giggling baby as Connor gradually introduces it to the water

He’ll splash you from the pool and blame it on the baby

When the baby is walking around in its own Connor will build a giant play structure in the yard

Even though there was an option to get it preassembled, Connor wanted to do it himself

To teach self-reliance or something

As you and him put up the slide, the baby’s probably having more fun pretending the boxes the pieces came in is a rocketship

[tysonbarrieisamapleleaf]

Fatherhood - C. McDavid (headcanon)

You and Connor have been married for a year when he suggests you two start trying for a baby

You agree, excited to start a family together

It doesn’t happen right away though

You try for a few months and nothing seems to happen

You get really discouraged but Connor assures you it’ll happen, it just takes time

He reminds you that even if you can’t have your dream family, you’ll always have each other

You decide to break from trying when the hockey season picks up again

One night, between road trips, you and Connor manage to get alone time together

A few weeks later, you realize you’re late

You take a test and it comes back positive

Connor is ecstatic when you tell him

At your first ultrasound appointment, he manages to skip practice to come with you

You anxiously wait to see your baby

The doctor reveals that you’re expecting triplets, and your face goes white

“Three of them?!” he laughs awkwardly, “are you sure?!”

The doctor confirms it and Connor gives you a quick kiss on the cheek

“I guess we’re going to be busy, aren’t we?”

You’re absolutely terrified of the idea of three babies at once but Connor’s completely unfazed

He’s just happy to become a dad for the first time

Connor fusses over you the entire pregnancy

He’s worried about you and the babies

He literally won’t let you lift a finger

“Babe, I’ve got this, go put your feet up, you’ve worked all day”

He sits and talks to your growing stomach every day

Almost always has his hand on your baby bump

He’s so excited to meet your babies

The big day comes and you go into delivery for a c-section

Connor’s right by your side the entire time

Your babies arrive, they’re tiny but healthy

You welcome a little boy and two little girls

Connor’s elated when he gets to hold the three of them

Connor chooses Macy Isabelle and you choose Morgan Ava for your daughters 

You both decide on Michael Lucas for your son.

Your first night home with them, you find him sitting in the armchair in the nursery with all three babies snuggled tightly in his arms

He’s singing (albeit badly) to the babies while he holds them

You stand in the doorway watching him as he cuddles your newborns tightly

You decide to snap a picture of Connor cuddling them to use as your birth announcement on Instagram

“Macy, Morgan and Michael spending some quality time with Daddy.” you write

You walk over and kiss Connor on the cheek as you smile down at your family

“I love the four of you so much,” he whispers

[idontgiveaflyinggrayson69]

Headcanons to celebrate the end of the regular season?

Dating xyz would include

Sex with xyz would include

Halloween with xyz would include

Watching xyz play would include

Being the sister of abc and dating xyz would include

The possibility are endless

[hockeybabestars]

Connor McDavid as a Boyfriend:

would be rly sweet with you but super into you

always asks to meet your family

once he meets them he fits in so well with them

takes care of your younger sister like she’s his sister

also does small gestures to make you smile bc he knows you don’t like anything to be too flashy

but still likes to splurge on you from time to time

always kisses your forehead as a greeting

first kiss would be soft until things get heated and he would take control

wouldn’t go all the way on the first date

respects the hell out of you

always whispers compliments in your ear

at games he winks at you when he scores

at events always has a hand securely around your waist

but mostly keeps yalls private life private

likes to lightly slap ur ass sometimes just bc

likes it when you run your fingers through his hair

Okay my first time writing a HC what do we think?

[a-rebellious-waffle]

Hockey AU Headcanons because Sorin's art isn't letting me sleep

The Hounds, Vi's team, are completely willing and able to run your shit like a semi truck doing 120 in a school zone. They will check your players and there is nothing you can do about it. Hope you have trauma doctors.

Vi is the Captain of the Hounds and is absolutely willing to drop the gloves if you so much as look at one of her players wrong.

She has sent multiple people through the glass, and will continue to do so.

She once sent the same person through the glass 3 times in the same match.

"What the fuck was that? What type of pansy-ass shit was that, you fucking coward? Get the fuck back here, you little fucking rat! I'll send you home with a broken fucking neck!" -Vi, seeing someone try to hit her goalie

Claggor is like Subban, in that he's always infuriatingly calm and never wants to drop the gloves, so if you punch him, you're in the Box and he isn't. He usually plays goalie, though.

That being said, he does, on occasion, drop those gloves. The results were not pretty and now no one wants to mess with him.

Mylo is one of those deceptively fast players that can get a hat trick like they're Connor McDavid and leave you wondering how they did it. He will outrun your defenders. You cannot stop that. He's all too willing to drop the gloves, though, and man, he isn't Vi.

In fact, Mylo is the weakest fighter on the Hounds. Is he useless? No. Can he fight? Yeah, technically. Is he any good? Against a rookie, maybe.

Caitlyn keeps showing up to Hounds games and no one knows why one of the most famous figure skaters in Piltover keeps attending the games of the chief rivals of the Piltover Progress.

She claims she doesn't particularly like the Progress, which has earned her the ire of most of Piltover. (Think "being a Bruins fan in Montreal" type ire.)

Jayce captains the Piltover Progress and the blood feud between him and Vi is legendary

For that matter, the blood feud between the Hounds and the Progress is legendary- no two teams have ever had more bench clearing brawls than these two. That being said, the Hounds are unequivocally the better team. The Progress just can't chase down the Hounds.

The first time Jayce checked Vi, she responded later in the game by sending him through the glass

"Vi you can't just send everyone you don't like through the glass-" *sends you through the glass*

Viktor, the trauma doctor of the Progress, wants a pay raise

Mel is a fan-favorite referee, because she keeps "accidentally" having hilarious hot mics and/or mic "problems".

Vander was also a Captain of the Hounds, and his fights were almost as legendary as Vi's- he once took on two goons and a lineman at the same time and won all of those fights

Vander also once had this throat cut by a skate and nearly bled out on the ice, but survived because one of teammates was an ex-combat medic and grabbed the gear from the medic when said medic panicked.

Ekko, despite being the smallest and lightest member of the Hounds, can and has knocked out opposing members with single punches because he's a nimble little shit. He dodges and weaves like Mike Tyson.

Vi has gotten expelled from games before for throwing punches that break people's bones. She once threw an uppercut that lifted someone off their feet and sent them crashing onto their ass.

Remember when I said she and Jayce were rivals? The only reason they haven't actually killed each other is because Caitlyn keeps stopping them from brawling.

The Hounds have earned the nickname "Hounds of Hell" because of how willing they are to resort to violence on the ice. On occasion, people wonder if they should be issued boxing gloves instead of sticks.

Vi personally has earned multiple names. She earned "She-Devil" for her fighting skill and temper, "Nemesis" for fighting skill and sense of justice, "Ice Queen"/"Frosty Bitch" for winning the championship four times in a row, and captaining the Hounds of Hell has earned her the nickname "Satan".

This is not counting the various nicknames bitter opponents have given her.

Jinx is no longer allowed to play hockey, because she punches refs.

(and also a minor bit of domestic terrorism.)

[bigbrotherlouis]

Tell me your thoughts on mitchyleon PLEASE!!!(also I love you so much)

hellO LOVELY! i love you too, and extra so because you asked me this!!!! also this got LONG because apparently! i have a lot of emotions about mitch in particular! this is mostly pulled from convos with fellow mitchyleon friend @cactusandfir

okay okay okay i know when the oilers and leafs meet up, most eyes are on the matthews/mcdavid matchup (which: yes, i get it, they’re intriguing and definitely fucked in arizona and now feel weird about it but that’s a conversation for another post) BUT mitch and leon are RIGHT THERE! how can i look at anything else?

like? what HAPPENS when you take two very very talented players with wildly different personalities who are always going to be solidly number two to someone else. sure, it might be a very close second but leon’s always going to  come in second to connor, and mitch to auston. they’re always going to have that in common and i think it makes them more prone to finding each other on the ice. everyone’s looking at connor and auston, but mitch and leon are going to look at each other because they both know that’s where it’s going to get dangerous.

anyway from like a fic/rpf standpoint, i’m super interested in a fic where they hook up for pining purposes. what better way to get back at the person you’re pining over by hooking up with his boyfriend’s best friend (who is also pining)? mitch decides that if auston is going to have his lil thing with connor, mitch can get revenge by fucking his opponent too. i have this little headcanon that a lot of mitch’s personality is... performative? like not in a bad way, but he tries to be what people expect him to be. he’s had a role to play since he was little and there’s been no room for him to figure out who he wants to be outside of people’s expectations! so, when he starts something with leon, it’s revenge so he can be honest for the first time in his life. it doesn’t mean anything, isn’t supposed to mean anything!!

leon, i think, is a little less self-destructive about it. yeah, sure, he’s sleeping with mitch because it’ll make connor (and also auston) mad but also: mitch is fun and leon needs a distraction and it’ll make connor so, so fucking mad. so: probably still self-destructive. it’s not hatesex, not really, but it’s not not either.

ithey both keep expecting the other to leave and they just. don’t. they’re halfway in love before they even really realise they’re beginning. on mitch’s side, leon seems like such a steady person that mitch almost doesn’t notice he’s still there. “why would i? i like you,” leon says, and mitch breaks down about it a little. what’s he going to to do with someone who doesn’t need him to be anything other than himself?? but leon’s made up his mind and you can’t change it and he wants mitch, just as he is. leon needs someone who will love him unconditionally, who will follow him when he retreats into himself. mitch doesn’t care! he’s going to follow and pull him out.

and i’m also super into mitch having history with both auston and connor, when they find out they both ask him variations on “why him? why not me?” even though they’re both happy together, it’s still a bit what if. and mitch can’t really explain it except leon stayed when mitch stopped arranging himself to fit a mold, and neither auston nor connor did. “was i not good enough for you?” they ask and mitch answers, “was i not good enough to stay with?”

leon doesn’t have that same history with auston, but he’s got a hella lot of history with connor, and as much as connor will try otherwise, leon’s always going to wear that second-best mantle with him. neither of them can help it, really, but it’s so pervasive leon can’t compartmentalise it away like he usually does. and, yeah, this revenge-turned-relationship might not have had the most healthy start, but it’s better than leon always wondering if he’s being fucked out of some sense of pity. it takes a while, but eventually leon knows that mitch isn’t going to leave him for something better, isn’t going to balk when leon gets quiet, isn’t going to be anything but his equal.

ultimately, they see each other and that’s what really matters. they see each other, on the ice and off, separate from the shadows of their teammates. sometimes it gets annoying, like when leon dogs mitch where mitch is used to being a little overlooked, but what else can we ask for, but to be seen and known by our rival and be loved anyway?

in conclusion:

🖊 🧠 💭

🖊 Post a snippet from a current WIP.

Have some in death au, anon:

"Do it, toss the deal," Connor pushes up from his chair, puts his hands on the table and leans forward so he's in Palmeri's face. "Please. Toss it so I can put your greedy, arrogant, spineless, murdering ass in jail for the rest of your miserable life, so I can tell your wife's family that you got exactly what you deserved. 

"I'd love nothing more than to see you die in a box, just where your kind belongs."

"How dare you," Palmeri grounds out, his face dark red with rage. He ignores his lawyer when he tells him to stop talking. "You think because you married money you can speak to me like this, that you're equal to me? You need to be reminded of your place, just like my stupid bitch of a wife did.

"I'll have your badge for this, McDavid, and you should be grateful that's all I'll do."

"That sounds like threatening a police officer to me," Draisaitl says mildly, his relaxed posture a sharp contrast to the way his partner was braced for a fight over the Interview table. "APA Drouin?"

"It certainly was, Detective Draisaitl," Drouin tells them and a still furious Palmeri, steel under the smooth cadence of Quebec in his voice. "I think it's time to let Mr Palmeri's lawyer inform him of the realities of being ass deep in hard evidence of committing murder one, conspiracy to commit murder and threatening the life of one of the most decorated police officers in this city."

🧠 What’s an idea you have that you can’t quite call a WIP yet?

Hmmm, well I was talking about a McEichel idea with @adamsgirl42 that was about Connor abruptly quitting hockey and basically disappearing from everywhere and relocating to LA, and then eventually being drawn back into hockey - more that he starts watching it again, even goes to a couple games, stuff like that - when Jack gets traded to the Kings. I've started calling it the 'California au' but I haven't written any of it down yet so.

💭 What is a headcanon you have about your own work?

I have so many, but here's some about the godlings verse and where a couple of them lost their virginity since it came up in a conversation with someone today (you don't get all of them because that heads into spoiler territory):

Jack loses his v-card at the beach, during a storm (the guy vaguely looks like Connor but he swears that's a coincidence) (no one believes him)

Auston gets laid for the first time in the hot tub at Noah's house one long weekend in the summer when they hang out with some of Noah's friends

There's an old cemetery by his billet's that Charlie likes to go for walks through sometimes, first by himself and then later on with his girlfriend. The first time he has sex is in the soft grass over some of the oldest graves it's on a sheet too ok leave him alone he likes cemeteries damn

Thanks for asking, anon!!! (fanfic ask game)
