oli 🖤

and so it begins archiveofourown.org/works/79091681

the random scoring and strange penalties and things are whatever but the chatter man 😭 we don’t have time for this!!!!

the one thing that can really take me out of a hockey fic is when they spend SO much time talking on the ice, like fully several minutes’ worth of detailed conversation at a time, and often during a face off or a board battle 😭 bro the refs, players, and fans would be baffled

@troybarretts ik like me he’s getting nasty over the curly fries

ilya and arby’s feels like a very specific venn diagram with me at the center.

might have to put a poll up again bc i’ve got about 4-5 deleted scenes in the hopper and a few one shot in-universe concepts i’ve been sitting on too. but if you see me talk about ACTIVELY writing anything in like the next week, you have to publicly shame me. everyone promise

maybe we should stop abbreviating party o'clock 😭😭

i’m taking a break, i’m taking a break, The Wedding bonus chap with popov toast 🥂, i’m taking A BREAK

@kabusmihayalmu ah yes, i started this after completing my first fic i think and then fell off when i realized it was going to be a long one. excited to dive back in

@minrozanov #comments" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">archiveofourown.org/chapters/21196… Back and forth from new york, just got completed. Very funny and heartfelt

just realized i can actually read hollanov fic now that i’m not working on an intensive wip but i’m looking at my insane tbr and wondering where to start 😰

@montemoon_ ooh zombies!! this was not on my radar, ty!

@minrozanov Borderline is excellent archiveofourown.org/works/78133731…

@nathengyn mine is terrible, especially with other fandoms to read too. hr fic has been so buzzy but i’m behind on like so many now completed wips for other pairings. very much spoiled for choice

@minrozanov My marked for later genuinely worries me a little at this point 😭

@yellingloud_zu ooh yeah i’ve heard this one come up a lot. premise very much intrigued me! that might be next

@minrozanov my fucking favorite is change your win conditions, if that's on your tbr!

@GlobalKep1ian at some point, yes! tho i’m still considering adding a few in-universe one shots to good on my own accord first. i try not to read other takes on shane as a goalie while i write to avoid like crossing my brain wires in terms of characterization

@minrozanov Are you going to read the other goalie shane long fic?

@amandination yes! had that on the top of my list when i asked for some recs on here :) but that’s probably the only super popular fic i’ve read at this point, besides opal’s fics and a bit of re:hi

@minrozanov have u read home economics?

they said nice things after that lmao but this is truly The defining summary of all my work

leaving my mark

@sezsskywalkers it def looks and feels like a real jersey when you have it on! but yeah i’d say it’s comparable to the cheapest official jersey i own ($100 range) w the premium pricing coming from it being a collector’s item. basically like paying up for an irl team’s limited edition release imo

@minrozanov ig if its like for like quality wise with regular jerseys/sweaters then the price is fair enough omg atp i’ve just started expecting shipping to be fucked 😭

adding the hockey yaoi jersey to my main display lineup is objectively hilarious

@sezsskywalkers honestly quite good! i’d compare it to a fanatics breakaway where it does have a mix of vinyl and embroidered elements so def not machine washable. but the fabric is thick/heavy and the oversized fit is nice. if the shipping wasn’t criminal, i think $150 base price is alright tbh

@minrozanov what’s the quality like??!

@chipskylark2381 binnington (the reverse retro colorway owns my heart) and logan thompson! i only wear goalies lol, with the exception of my [not pictured] signed oshie blues jersey on the other wall and caps oshie too. his trade worked great with my east coast move a few years earlier lol

@minrozanov First off this is adorable second off are the others binnington and sir tom wilson (also those blues jerseys are so sick)

and so it ends?? 🥅 goalie!shane / center!ilya au canon divergence 149k, 18/18 chapters COMPLETE
