if you're still interested in writing prompts i recently read the mcspot tuukka task/anton khudobin fic where tuukka's nesting drives anton into ALSO nesting and i haven't been able to stop thinking abt goalies nesting with each other for days. any of those seeking affection prompts would be incredible, but the reaching-out-to-hold-hands one. man. it would be so amazing if you were interested!!!!!!
seeking physical affection prompts
anon. are you me. i just reread that one recently too lmao its a fucking BANGER. anyway, here's swaymark with crisis nesting linus!!!
Linus has always been a gentle nester. He can feel his brain quieting down the day before it starts, so he has ample time to gather the materials he needs, and set himself up either at home, or the nesting room at the rink.
He'll usher a teammate or three into the room right before he goes completely nonverbal, and tuck them in with a happy trill. He'll patrol the door and hallway for a while, stick in hand but never used, and then settle into the nest and doze happily with his friends.
It's been like that for his entire professional career- he's never swung a stick at someone, or tried to bite a teammate that came to close. He's one of the gentlest nesters in the league.
Until someone crashes his net during a game, and something in his head snaps.
Crisis nesting.
With a guttural roar, he lunges for the opposing player that crashed his net. He had dropped his stick in the initial hit, and his crisis nesting hind-brain considers it long gone, otherwise the player would be in big trouble. Linus grabs onto the players' jersey with both hands, and slams them down on the ice brutally. Stop, stop, it's okay!
The sea of opposing jerseys swarms the crease, and Linus whips his head up, growling loudly.
There is someone he did not invite in his net.
Linus' eyes roll wildly in their sockets, one hand still pressing the first player- Tkachuk, that's Matthew Tkachuk, you've protected him before, calm down!- down to the ice, trying to find his stick for safety, protection, something to defend himself with.
There!
He kicks his leg out, using the heel of his skate to slide his stick closer. He doesn't notice someone skating up behind him, and grabbing onto the player under his hand, and yanking him away until it's too late. Linus snarls angrily, and tries to lunge for the offending player, but familiar white jerseys are finally surrounding him. Yes, it's your team, it's them! Don't hurt them!
"Hey, hey, Ully, it's okay! He's gone, Tkachuk is gone, and no one is going near your net, okay?" Someone speaks. Linus growls low in his throat, a warning to the red jerseys nearby. He pokes his stick out at the red jerseys violently, sending them scattering. Good.
"Ully, c'mon, we gotta get you off the ice, buddy." The same voice from before speaks, and oh dear. He doesn't like that. He lunges for the voice, uncaring if it's a teammate because that is his nest. He doesn't leave his nest.
No, that's Marchy! That's your captain!
The white jerseys around him scatter too, and that soothes something in his mind, but- where-?
A new jersey skates close, slowly. The bulkiness tells Linus it's a goalie. A teammate goalie. Jeremy! DO NOT-
A quiet trill breaks through the voice in his head. Linus answers back with a low grunt.
A hand, bare of a blocker or glove or stick, is offered. Linus knows this hand.
He offers his hand back, his blocker, but keeps his stick in his other hand. Their hands slot together easily, Jeremy's hand being swallowed up by the big blocker, but Linus can feel his partner's fingers closing on his palm and wrist. The closest they can get to holding hands in their current positions.
Jeremy coos, skating close and bumping his forehead against Linus' helmet gently. Linus rumbles a purr, and goes when Jeremy tugs him out of the crease.
