6/17/15: Patrick Kane drinks out of the Cup with the help of Jonathan Toews [X]

Look at it isn't it so beautiful 🥹😭

As keen eyes may have noticed, there’s also a release date up there (March 16th!). We also now have:

That's right, a preorder link! Should your heart desire, you can buy it right this very moment.

(The PRH site actually has links to a bunch of different vendors; some of them won't be live until closer to the date, but you should have plenty to choose from. You can also preorder through your local indie bookstore.)

When NHL star forward Will Burns gets sent a fic about him and his best friend (and team captain), he laughs it off. It’s a joke. It has to be. But one late-night scroll turns into another…and another—and suddenly Will’s a little too invested. Because the fic gets a few things right.

I’ve said it before, but this novel feels so much like one of my fics to me. It has the same prolonged sense of yearning that I’ve struggled to capture in previous attempts at original fiction but that came so easily as soon as I tried writing in the romance genre. The difference is that I've spent way more time polishing this one, and it's probably better than anything I've managed to post on ao3 (or at least it had better be at this point 😅). I love this book to pieces and I hope you'll read and enjoy it!!

it's a soulmate au that i mentioned weeks ago here!

i tweaked the premise a little bit so i don't want to give too much away i think but basically: 1988 soulmates au where jonny's dealing with stomach cramps and fatigue for pretty much his entire career. it's totally just a physical health thing! not at all related to a soulbond!!! he can deal with it by just eating better and sleeping more and meditating a little! there's no way the teammate he occassionally sleeps with has anything to do with that!!

1) Holy shit that is the most hair I’ve ever seen on him. Ringlets galore!

2) The sideways grin on his BABY FACE is so strange and cute.

3) Sometimes I don’t think fandom quite gets Jonny’s voice right, but that “LET’S GO KANER” is right in line with it.

4) Aghsjdfjhsdfhks that last line.
