tormenting myself with williams hockey au thoughts… thanks for nothing as always vgk
franco is left winger drafted top ten in a bit of a surprise move, he wasnt really on any mainstream wish lists for the lottery teams. he had a strong freshman season but was the 13th forward on the wjc team in his draft year so not a lot of people were super up on him. it comes out that he gave like the best draft combine interview ever GMs were enamoured with him. and after his freshman season he wants to enter the league right away and makes the team out of camp.
Alex is a centre, up and down between the second and third lines. was drafted late first round and was prob one of the few guys on the canadian wjc team to have gone the college route (it’s my notfic so Alex has been assigned team canada. franco was usntdp he can be from florida) it’s his 5th year in the league but only the second where he hasn’t been back and forth from the AHL. he was involved in a disgruntled star player trade midway through his second season and then broke his collarbone just as he was starting to make an impression on the new team. but things settled and now he is integral to the penalty kill and the second powerplay unit… the new coaches love him and are hinting about an A in his future. he has a new 4 year contract! he feels good here!
Alex is a nice guy, good team player, everyone says so! however he finds himself mildly disgruntled with this rookie who has apparently waltzed right onto Alex’s line with no signs of being sent down to the A to get up to speed. SURE there has been a lot of player turnover and they’re a younger team than when Alex first got here but still. it rankles SLIGHTLY that Franco got his first goal in his first game (off an assist from Alex) meanwhile Alex waited WEEKS for a greasy little goal to open things up. whatever it’s fine and besides their line is really clicking so Alex’s point production is off to a strong start too.
they started the season on the road so it takes Alex a bit to register that Franco has been living out of the hotel they put all the hopefuls up at for dev camp. franco keeps showing up to practice with fruit from the continental breakfast even tho they literally have food at the rink. Franco wasn’t super expected to make the team so quickly so the other young guys have already buddied up and the captain and his wife just had twins so they are not bringing another baby into that home. the captain and front office Hint at Alex like hey don’t you have a second bedroom in that nice new contract condo of yours? and Alex says ugh I’LL THINK ABOUT IT but then Franco invites himself over after practice and brings all his stuff so seems like Alex has a new roommate.
a new roommate who talks All The Time (his teammates weirdly have no sympathy for Alex on this. they’re like bro I have sat beside you on the plane you are calling the kettle black mr pot) and who is always up early to make his own mate (soooo much nicer to make it here than at the hotel he says!) and who really doesn’t wear enough clothes at home and who wasn’t even grateful when Alex rescued him from a table of older women on their last night out. Franco did NOT want to be saved but Alex didn’t like how they were looking at Franco like they were gonna eat him alive, the kid does not know what he’s getting himself into, surely. like maybe start with a bachelorette party before moving up to a book club kiddo!
Franco gets voted into the allstar game (fan favourite in every universe) and he’s like Alex I wish you were coming too half my points are from you bro you should be there and Alex is like lmao have fun in st louis in february you talented little idiot. I’m going to Mexico ✌️ and Franco texts him the whoooole time like gossip he picks up on from the other guys and pics w some of the guys one or both of them know and bundled up selfies bc it’s cold as hell in stl who chose this. punished for his elite skill good looks and charming personality :( Alex is sending back a totally normal pic of himself at the beach to gloat and his buddy from another team who he is vacationing with is like “who are you sending shirtless selfies to lol” (if I could imagine George playing hockey even a little bit the friend would be George) and Alex is like sputtering it’s not a SHIRTLESS PIC it’s a pic where I happen to be shirtless GOD! and he proceeds to get teased for the rest of his break about how he formed a codependent relationship with his little rookie who has a crush on him (he does NOT says Alex)
first practice after the break everyone is swapping stories of what they got up to and one of Alex’s friends on the team is like you’re looking nice and relaxed albon did you have a good little sex vacation (his fwb situation with his buddy/former teammate who is or is not George depending on the strength of my imagination is known within Alex’s circle he puts up w the gentle teasing as gracefully as he can) and this is very much news to Franco who starts acting a little surly. Alex can only take so much of this so at home while Franco is picking at his bowl of chicken broccoli and rice Alex is like okay give me a break you can’t tell me there weren’t any hot moms in St. Louis that you could charm without my interference whats this weird sulky jealous thing you have going on. Franco says I am NOT JEALOUS I just feel like I wouldn’t have texted you so much if I knew I was bothering you on your sex vacation. and Alex is like cmon you would have texted me the exact same amount. it’s fine! I liked it! and he did like it… he likes having Franco around. that snuck up on him a bit.
idk inciting incident Alex gets injured late in the season and it’s not like they were making the playoffs anyways but Alex being out doesn’t help and the team vibes are tragic and the vibes in the apartment are even worse. Franco thinks the plant in the living room is dying just because of the negative energy alex is filling the apartment with. or possibly because franco keeps overwatering it but whatever. anyways alex says something snippy to someone at practice where he is allowed to do no contact skating and the teammate is like fuck OFF albon you need to get laid or something jesus. and on the way home (franco driving them in Alex’s car) alex is annoyed and running his mouth like I can’t find someone to hook up with like this I can’t even jerk off properly! (hand injury womp womp) and Franco is like oh is that your problem? I can help with that. Alex realizes he’s serious and is like huh so are those usntdp rumours true then and Franco says do you want to find out 😇 and while hooking up with his rookie may bring additional stress to Alex’s life in the near future for now it is honestly working as intended

There's something so pure about George mentioning Alex three times in 30 seconds during the secret Santa video (he'd be good at wrapping! This gift's probably from him! It's his sense of humour!) Only ever one guy on his mind.
And then the second he knows it's Not From Alex (or Lando) he immediately stops enjoying the joke and tells Liam he won't read the stupid book or wear his dumb bracelet, Fuck Off Actually It's Not Funny. A petty king.
#galex#the fact that george thinks alex would be good at wrapping is proof alone that he's down bad#<< prev ur so right

never understood the concept of negging until I watched Alex Albon spend the entire season talking about how bad Oscar Piastri is at padel. oh he’s got his hooks in Oscar now. he’s bought beachfront real estate in the map that is Oscar’s mind and he’s putting up a duplex. one (1) time, Oscar was more interested in his long term actual-friend Logan and Alex did NOT like that and ever since he’s been making sure that Oscar isn’t thinking of any man more than him. Oscar’s so unflappabl— yes but have you seen him have a five alarm meltdown over Alex claiming he’s bad at padel? How could anyone intentionally be so inaccurate and hypocritical and wrong and handsome and

Not both Alex and George thinking they were hilarious getting Oscar and Lando padel lessons, and both Oscar and Lando having basically the same reaction ("but he's bad at padel, how dare he get me lessons!") Love is real

I think they should stick Carlos Sainz Sr. in that seat so he can show those wannabe second drivers what real speed is

"Checo deserves to be free of the mental anguish and absolutely toxic work environment he experienced within Redbull and the racism/xenophobia from F1 as a whole and I hope he's happy"
and
"It's hard for this to not feel like bigotry succeeded today and racism will always beat down on POC to a mental and emotional level until they leave and it's hard to not be discouraged watching an icon of latino representation to have been pushed out so cruelly"
are two thoughts that can exist simultaneously.
