#get rec'd hrpf

[tapedsleeves]

get rec'd!!!!

soooo, one of my goals for this year was to... I don't know. Feel more connected to the fics I'm reading even if I'm not like. in the right brain space to make a full comment. And to share those fics that I do like.

so with that, i present to you: Get Rec'd: a fic rec series. Hopefully weekly, somewhere in the realm of 3-5 fics I read this week and what I liked about them :)

if you read & liked these fics, consider leaving a kudos or comment for the author.

should have said (say it) by theundiagnosable.

Zach Hyman / William Nylander, T rated, 11,209 words.

Zach calls in a favor from Baker!Willy, whom he'd hooked up with in college to bake a cake for Mitch & Auston's wedding when the caterers bail. This fic is SOOOO cute. Zach realizing all the ways that Willy has changed, and the ways he hasn't that he still really likes.

I love my love (because I know my love loves me) - by aetherbladedstick.

Mitch Marner / John Tavares T rated, 4, 064 words.

Mitch is sick & wants cuddles. This fic is SOOOO adorable, tactile Mitch reads sooo true. Reading this fic is just like wrapping up in a cuddly blanket for me.

Last Christmas - by mere_sprite1847

Quinn Hughes / Elias Pettersson, T rated, 3767 words

Fake dating! i love fake dating!!! Quinn accidentally leads his family to believe he's dating Elias, Elias agrees to pretend to date him. This fic is so sweet, the tension was excellent.

an ever-fixed mark - by cmdld (tumblr user @boohowdy)

Connor McDavid / Leon Draisaitl, Rated E, 27, 107

Experienced sub Connor & inexperienced Dom Leon (not D/s au, just you know. Kink) this fic is excellent, y'all. The use of reddit forum is absolutely on point and one of my personal favorite things: Connor, as a sub, actually has agency.

In Defence of Serenity -by @lurlur

Vince Dunn / Adam Larsson , Rated E, 2678

Vince didn't get all his yelling out during the game. Adam offers to help him get the rest of it out. THIS FIC IS HOT! absolutely wreck that boy. Lur, I love your fic so much.

get rec'd - just so so so late

hi. it's me again, hargaret. It's been a while.

Follow me out of this abyss - by @kllovk

nathan mackinnon / jonathan drouin, E, 30,427

An interesting take on A/B/O dynamics that had me captivated until the end.

fragile like a bomb by @zepuckinghockey

Adam Larsson / Vince Dunn, E, 3878

Adam is just looking for a good time in the heat room. Surely Vince is good at sex. Right? this is suuuch a fun premise. I love it when sex doesn't go perfectly i love it when dynamics are a little malleable, i loved this fic thru & thru.

running from ghosts by remyjane

nicklas backstrom / alex ovechkin, M, 19301

Nicke is secretly a prince. this fic doesn't feature heavy on romance but it is REALLY big on hurt / comfort and I LOVED it.

dare not speak its name by @droumack

nathan mackinnon / jonathan drouin, E, 42,622

Nate and Jo weren’t actually always friends. I gotta say - this short and sweet title didn't give me much to go on, but it did entice me. I waited for this fic to be completed with baited breath. I was soooo excited to read it. And when i did, i was blown away. This was SUCH a unique take on Dom/Sub dynamic fics and i was REALLY into Jo's POV even while he was being the most oblivious person on earth. Just. all around a perfect 5 out of 7 stars.

care and feeding by @spangledleatherponcho

tim stuzle / brady tkachuk, E, 10260

Brady learns something about Timmy. Aka the bunnicula fic. sometimes you learn your bunny best friend is a vampire and maybe you're into it.

i don't want to live love this way by @lurlur

vince dunn / adam larsson, e, 7057

a breakup in slow motion. this is SUCH a heartbreaking fic, because they break up and do NOT get back together which isn't normally my jam, but this is just. so well written and heartbreaking. Adam and Vince both have such unique and well reasoned POV's and I really, really love it.

to climb two mountains by @gaybroons

tyler myers / quinn hughes / nikita zadorov, E, 2191

read the title. you know what this is about. it's really really hot & well written DP.

i'm ready to journey again by thunderingskies

quinn hughes / elias petterson, E, 12192

Quinn and Petey were hooking up and it takes a long time for Quinn to realize that his feelings go way beyond that. This fic is just. oh man i love a good fwb to lovers fic and this one is *chef's kiss*

from this day forward series by @wymgreenteam

Nico Hischier / Jack Hughes ( / Jonas Siegenthaler), E, 91664

This series is based on a Swiss Royal Nico, arranged marriage to Jack & secretly in love with them both Jonas (in the sequel). Listen. This fic has everything. Enemies to lovers. Best friends to lovers. Polycules. Angst. I love it so so so much and reread it regularly. It's one of my favorite comfort fics.

take my hand, take my whole life too by @thatsnotbuddies

Jack Eichel / Noah Hanifin, T, 1817

jack and noah get vegas married. this fic is SO soft and SO lovely.

soft as it began by @droumack

nathan mackinnon / jonathan drouin, E, 41499

Nate & Jo get drafted together as mates - but Nate insists at first that it's platonic. I really liked this one as well, this author really has a way with angst that i really really dig.

[tapedsleeves]

rec'd 4

i got onto a kick this time and idk what to say about it - i chose to read a bunch of rule 63 this week. so happy valentines, i was real gay this week.

like she wants to try me on by @frostbees

gavin brindley / seamus casey, T, 1324 words

Gavin's always assumed she'd have to get over Gavin. This fic is just like a warm summer evening hanging out with your best friend and anything can happen. The world is soft, and everything loves you.

stars by the pocketful by anonymous

gavin brindley / seamus casey, E, 2196 word

Rutger wants Seamus to teach her how to eat pussy. She wants Seamus to demonstrate on Gavin. this is just the right kind of hot hot hot!!!!

the perfect one for you is me by NoodleE

Brady Tkachuk / Tim Stutzle, E, 7466

Claude thinks that Tim and Brady are bringing their relationship fights into hockey, when it's actually the opposite. UGH this fic has such a good payoff. Brady knowing she fucked up and apologizing is the cherry on top.

barbed hook by @bsaka7

connor dewar / brandon duhaime, E, 11067

Connor & Brandon go kayaking. Brandon gets a fishing hook stuck in her lip. UGH THIS IS JUST. I scream about it in my head all the time now. The fact that they don't take the hook out before they fuck is. i scream, i cry. i love women's wrongs.

get rec'd: 3 asg drift

not asg weekend themed bc I didn't think that far ahead :(

what happens in the room stays in the room - by @irrelevanttous

Leon Draisaitl / Matthew Tkachuk, E, 7, 407 words

a winner's room fic from a different perspective - Sasha just wants to look out for Matthew, make sure he's safe in the room. So when they play the Oilers, he wants to make sure make sure. I really liked this twist on winner's room fic!

Like an Angel to Me - by @angry-geno-is-score

Vince Dunn / Adam Larsson, T, 2,979 words

Vince shows up dynamically compromised at Adam's house and Adam takes care of him, like he always does. This fic is just *sooo* sweet. As a pining fic that's unresolved, it still feels sooo satisfying to read, because Adam is just. So devoted to taking care of Vince. It's just so lovely

So Hey, Let's Be Friends by @linskywords

Quinn Hughes / Brady Tkachuk & Quinn Hughes/OFC, M, 4055 words

A soulmark AU where Quinn and Brady have different soulmarks. This is just SO lovely. I love the premise of this whole series - that sometimes, soulmarks aren't everything in our hearts, and I just Love Brady's steadfast loyalty in this fic.

let go lightly by @three-quarts

Connor McDavid / Matthew Tkachuk, E, 7153

Connor ask for a trade, gets a PR makeover from Matthew Tkachuk, among other things. I LOVE the use of social media in this fic to reform Connor's image, as well the honesty with which Connor and Matthew talk about their respective lives and trades.

[tapedsleeves]

2 get 2 rec'd (get rec'd 2)

get rec'd week 2 is here!!!! I feel like I didn't read a lot of fic this week because. well. i was very tired and doing stuff, and also work was crazy. but i did read some new fics or reread some favorites, so it's not nothing!

if you read & like these fics, consider leaving a kudos or comment for the author.

i would stay forever (if you say don't go) by overturned goal

quinn hughes / elias petterson, E, 5110 words

the OTHER petey / quinn fake dating fic that i read and loved, but hannukah flavored this time. also they're fwb, and i just. this fic is just sooo full of the kind of angst that comes with FWB that i absolutely adore!

take it easy on me by @yamball (thepaperdolls on ao3)

vince dunn / adam larsson, E, 5655

a D/s AU where Vince needs a team-Dom, and Adam doesn't want to be just that. This fic is soo lovely. It balances the in the room stuff with the private subbing really well for my taste. I really had a good time reading it.

mountain sound by aliquis

jonas siegenthaler / nico hischier, E, 14,823

a mindscape au where Jonas creates mindscapes for Nico. this is such a unique au! I've never seen one like it, and it was sooo fun to read. the twist is too good to reveal in a summary, but it is just SO good, and well foreshadowed.

when you find out by @nymhciv (same username on ao3)

connor mcdavid / leon draisaitl, E, 10,779

a beer league connor has an only fans AU. I am NOT going to lie to you, this was a comfort re-read for me. Connor is just so into being perceived (unrelatable) and leon is just so into looking at him. Not to mention Matthew Tkachuk facilitating Connor & Leon getting together this fic is just. pacha meme.

get rec'd better a day late than never

idk guys.... yesterday didn't exist to me. sorry

breaking even by @spangledleatherponcho (iceguy on ao3)

brady tkachuk / tim stutzle, M, 22460

Brady loses his memory. Tim tries to fix a mistake he made. the way this one plays with memory and POV!!! What Brady knows and when he knows it and what Tim assumes he knows.... good. it scratches the same itch as an identity porn fic for me. It's soooo good. Also, I love Tim's motivations in this!

what will survive of us by @ferritin4

nicklas backstrom / alexander ovechkin, E, 26093

Nicklas and Alex have a soulbond. this fic is SUCH a comfort read for me. I am not normal about it at all. the ways in which the outward behavior/perception of each of nicke and ovi is an inverse mirror of how their soulbond works is just. *chefs kiss*

The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine @leafsmealone

mitch marner / john tavares, M, 32716

Someone puts a lust spell on Mitch, John helps to try to break it. I love the characterizations in this fic!! Mitch's POV is just so fun to watch, even when he's reading things *so wrong*

The MoJoe Show (On The Road) Season 2 by pushingtothedge on ao3

joe veleno / moritz seider, E, 42822

It's the MoJoe show season 2, and Joe is trying not to be jealous, trying not to be anxious, trying to get over his crush on Mo. this fic was an UNMITIGATED delight. I loved Joe's POV this whole time, he was SO delightfully nervous, so wonderfully into Mo, so relatably jealous.... this fic was just. So so so good. The perfect balance between angst and fluff for my taste.
