let the world spin madly on (dylan larkin/zach werenski // 14k // married in vegas)

Quietly, Dylan taps the screen and lets the live photo play— laughter and a bad Elvis announcing their marriage and then the two of them dragging each other in, a messy kiss that’s almost more giddiness than any romance. the 2022 all-stars, two old friends, and the aftermath of a wedding in vegas.

you knew it had to happen eventually so here's dylan and zach waking up married

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Men's Hockey RPF Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Sidney Crosby/Evgeni Malkin Characters: Marc-Andre Fleury, Kris Letang, Mario Lemieux Additional Tags: Werewolves, Enemies to Lovers, Rivals to Lovers, Arranged Marriage, (sort of), Mind/Mood Altering Substances, Forbidden Love, (kind of), Not Hockey Players (Hockey RPF) Summary:

As he drained the last of his beer, the bartender winked at him and placed another in front of him. “Courtesy of tall, dark, and handsome over there,” and she nodded to the far end of the bar. Sid followed her gaze and caught the eye of a man who was watching him—tall, and maybe handsome, with dark hair and eyes but arrestingly pale skin and a confident, appealing look to him. Sid raised the beer at him in a silent toast, holding eye contact, and sipped it deliberately.

It didn’t take long after that for the man to make his way over to Sid, and he introduced himself simply as “G” with a lingering handshake that made Sid swallow hard. He wet his lips and watched G track the movement and move in closer, eyes darkening.

Transcription of Akilah Hughes’ tweets from 22 January 2021:

I just think white progressives should value people of color’s joy. DREAMers and activists are exhaling for the first time in years. Families from Muslim ban countries are elated to reunite, but the most privileged white progressives are yelling over that to say why it’s bad.

We all know it could be better. It could be more fair, but the point is to celebrate and champion progress. There is just a blindness to the privilege of not being affected by any of these massive executive actions and it’s embarrassing. 

You should be ashamed to say nothing is different now to a person who thought they might get deported in the middle of a pandemic if they went to a hospital just one week ago. Use your privilege to lift people up, not to dictate how any of us should feel.

We ALL know things could be better. That will always be the case. It’s not settling to appreciate any forward movement at all. What you see as your deeper moral conviction is appearing to be a disaffected condescension. People who are happy had the most at stake.

Writing Tag Game

@darkangel0410 tagged anyone who wants to do this and I want to talk about my fic even when nobody asks so I seized the opportunity, thank you for enabling me!

how many works do you have on AO3? 68

what’s your total a03 word count?  675964

what are your top 5 fics by kudos?

camera ready (hockey rpf porn AU, 43 chapters, 89K, aho/multiple relationships)

My Fair Lad II: The Odd Couple (football rpf, balenaldo AU where they date during the premier league years 2007-2009, 28 chapters, 74K)

Dream Talk Night Day (football rpf, balenaldo, Real Madrid 2016-17, extramarital affair, 26K, 7 chapters, my first fanfic)

Sunburn Treatment (hockey rpf, pekkajuuse, 1.9K one-shot, smut, anal fingering)

Country Comforts (hockey rpf ranch sugar daddy AU, 19 chapters, 38K, pekka, juuse, aho and price have a ranch weekend where things happen in multiple combinations, daddy kink and a developing D/s relationship strongly present)

do you respond to comments, why or why not?

Always. I'm so happy and thrilled when a reader talks to me.

what’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

money shot has a mega happy ending (Wayne's World reference) for everyone. Most of my fics end happily.

what’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

I have multiple fics with wistful, bittersweet or ambiguous endings. I'd say that the angstiest (but that too is just like there are bitter feelings, not stuff like someone dying) is a tie between two:

Love will tear us apart (football rpf) is angst throughout because it's my take on a 30 day angst challenge (I only did 12 chapters because a real life thing made me stop early and take a pause from writing)

Pinot Noir (hockey rpf) starts out with the sexy edge of its "Angst and Porn" tag and the angst part increases towards the end.

do you write crossovers?

Yes, A Crowded, Hazy Bar combines football and hockey rpf with a pairing from Malmö.

have you ever received hate on a fic?

No. Thank you people for your kindness, courtesy and ability to know the difference between fact and fiction and the writer and the text. (Or just keeping your hate out of my sight)

do you write smut? if so, what kind?

Oh yes. What kind? Explicit?

have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of.

have you ever had a fic translated?

Once to Chinese, and I've translated a few of my own works, one from English to Finnish and a few from Finnish to English.

have you ever co-written a fic before?

Teekkaricaps consists of saved chatfic and AU headcanoning between me and @iltauinti but nothing beyond that.

what’s your all-time favourite ship?

I don't know if my fandom history is long enough for an all-time favorite ship but in my rpf writing and reading history it's got to be either sepe/teukka or sepe/justin. If I think back all my life, whatever Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall had going on in To have and have not is 🔥

what’s a wip that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

This is where I get to say none. I deleted all my remaining wips after I posted whatever fragments I had and stepped away from writing. No regrets.

what are your writing strengths?

Routine, characters, sex scenes, dialogue, description

what are your writing weaknesses?

I'm weak for validation and I'm slow and don't have much time, and I have no interest to branch out of my favorite ships, and those combined made me quit fic.

what are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I think all of the fic should be accessible in the language that the reader enters it in, so what is said in the dialogue should be somehow communicated to the reader in the main language of the narration.

what was the first fandom you wrote for?

Football rpf.

what’s your favourite fic you’ve written?

ATM it's a tie between Jussi Jussilla /Jussi at Jussi's and Still of the Night.

For a second paranoia takes over, and he kicks the flowers a little, waiting for them to explode. They don't. They also came with a card, which he picks up. The front of the card has a tasteful picture of the Brooklyn bridge at sunset. It's very nice and sedate, like the kind of card you would buy to give to your boss. On the inside someone has written a short message in big, shaky block letters.

I AM SORRY FOR SHOOTING YOU.

Steve sits down hard on the steps.

“What was that about?” William asks. He keeps his voice light.

“Oh,” Sandy says, then, slow, like he’s genuinely reasoning it out, “well, you’ve been a really good friend this summer, and I’m happy that we get to train together. I have fun hanging out with you.”

William tilts his head, bemused. “Do you kiss all your good friends?”

Sandy laughs, and has the courtesy to look abashed. “No, I guess you’re special.”

Hi, I see a lot has happened in the past 48 hours.

I’m seeing some pretty interesting behavior in response to my initial post which was made specifically in response to posts claiming that fic with slavery and rape in it are Bad, should never be written and, implicitly, that those who chose to write about such topics were they themselves bad.

Since then, later comments have been added expanding the dialogue and addressing broader concerns including but not limited to the fact that posts in the tag cannot be filtered on blacklist on mobile, that writing these fics specifically in Hockey RPF is an issue, and some implications that individuals writing about this approve of these things in real life. But these concerns were not present in the initial posts, which had an alarming tone of suppression and shaming. Their intent did not appear to be to start a dialogue, but rather to make people change their behavior, through force.

Reading through response on my post and others, I note that many individuals agitating most strongly against content creation aren’t actually reacting to what is being said, but instead making logic leaps and filling in the blanks with assumptions. I see repeated statements that the individuals in this discussion are white, are women and are “old”. I have the courtesy of presuming nothing about others on the internet, ideally I would hope do the same. Identities are not monolithic, and not everyone who disagrees with you is different in the way you may assume. No one needs to reveal anything about who they in order to participate in fandom or discussion about fandom.

I’m going to be clear here: the “block post” in the tag is sloppy and targets individuals specifically associated with sevenfists, rather than individuals involved in this conversation. It also represents comments and individual’s statements out of context. I know, because I’m not on it, but any community or individual that sevenfists has interacted with is included. The individual who created the list previously posted in the tag “look, i have my problems with s*venfists, but this??” They are not a neutral party. If you want someone to block who is actively speaking on this topic, please block me.

I want you to ask: who is being harmed? How? Is it an active, participatory harm (going on anon, commenting on people’s fic, threatening to doxx) or a passive harm?  Where is the line? How far will you go and when purpose does the pain you cause serve? When do you step away?  I saw the post on cheesewithmy.  Three years ago this fandom went through a similar issue: a fic (an actual, completed fic) considered Badwrong was posted by a popular author.  It kicked off an intense three month period of multi-platform harassment where “block and just mute” wasn’t an option. Anyone who had ever interacted with any of the authors and tumblrs targeted was threatened and attacked (seem familiar?). The entire fandom locked down. hard. Which means that there’s a disconnect - so many newer fans have no idea that this happened because there’s nothing to be found. We remember, and we see history repeating.

There’s a lot to discuss ethically with RPF of any variety, no matter how benign. I have logged a lot of hours, discussing this and both finding my own personal boundaries on a lot of aspects and understanding this fits into the broader context of media and fandom norms. But this isn’t a discussion of ethical nuances, is it? Because the heart of this discussion seems to be: how could you write that about Real People?

I must ask: how are you in RPF at all? Much less hockey, the perfect storm of toxic masculinity, racism, and Good Old Boys club?    

How could you write that about real people? Would they approve of what we write? No. If you think Actual Facts Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin is okay with being romantically and sexually paired with each other at all you need to get out now.  If your line is what REAL PEOPLE would be okay with, then RPF is not for you.

And coming into this: if you want to know how could you write this? ASK. Don’t bring your assumptions to the table and beat everyone over the head with them.

Speaking of assumptions:

No, I’m not a “rape apologist” and yes I agree anyone can be sexually assaulted, regardless of gender. 

No, I don’t think what we read about and write about in fic is okay in real life.

No, I don’t hate you, no I don’t think you’re “special snowflakes”, I don’t think you’re children, you had better not be. From the tone of discussion, I am guessing you are new to RPF, although I may be wrong.

No, I don’t think people should be able to do “whatever” they want, but no one can tell people what to do on the internet if you’re trying to genuinely effect change. Try a discussion. And yes, tone matters.

hey, taking someone's pan-fandom fest (which is only in its second year, by the way), ripping from their list of prompts to make a fandom-exclusice fest set during the same time frame, and then tagging your fest as the same thing as their fest is a little... gauche. why not participate in their fest or actually make your fest hockey-unique? none of the kinks you picked are actually hockey-specific aside from the puns. why draw attention away from the fest you got inspiration from?

Hi! I drew inspiration from several different events including Kinktober, Kinkuary, and various fandom ship and kink weeks to make the list, as well as sprinkling in several kinks uniquely popular in the HRPF fandom. I wanted to include some fandom classics exclusive to this fandom, while also leaving options for participants who wanted something more general.

At the end of the day, it's not the list that makes it fandom specific, though, it's the works that get made and the people excited about making them, appreciating them, and celebrating together. I think there's value in centralizing and formalizing that! At the end of the day, having a little hockey cake next to the large pan-fandom cake means more cake, not less. 🙂

When Sid is determined, he can achieve just about anything. Just probably not learning Russian via Duolingo because that app is ridiculous. Luckily, he has both help and motivation because there's something he really wants to say to Geno someday.

now I'M thinking about the brokeback mountain au for them and zach is soooo ennis coded. he's guarded, he's concerned about their future and he's willing to put their feelings to the side if it protects them in the long term, meanwhile dylan just wears his heart on his chest and is painfully earnest and ouch!!

YOU. YOU ARE SEEING MY VISION.

okay i haven't seen brokeback mountain (i will watch it soon i promise)(i just am not a movie person per se) so this is just vibes from what i've gleaned from wikipedia and atmosphere but like

the summers spending every moment together breathing the same air so close you can hardly bear it and then you're flung apart you can't explain what you were doing on those long long nights and you don't really want to but you want to remember every second of them how looking over at him from across the campfire makes the air feel like it's just about to thunderstorm heavy with anticipation instead of humidity how you want to keep some memory of this place that exists outside of everyone else but you two so you bite hard and hope it leaves a mark him refusing to ever acknowledge what happened what keeps happening unless you're alone in the middle of nowhere plausible deniability even though you can barely keep your hands off of each other

is very dylanzach

two years ago i started writing a future fic where dylan strome was taken in the kraken draft and eventually made captain, only to be reunited with connor years later. i didn’t get very far and for lots of reasons it’s not one i’m going to continue, so have two contextless snippets i’m sad-ish about abandoning so i can stop thinking about it

i feel it in my teeth (and it’s too good to resist) (trevor zegras/jamie drysdale // 6k // vampire au)

How about everybody just all calm down. We can have a little emergency vampire existence meeting after we wait for Trevor to come back.

“Well, well, well, Hot German,” Matthew says, hooking his leg around Tim’s empty chair and yanking it out to sit. “We’ve got to stop meeting like this.”
