What Is and What Should Never BeĀ | by @theladyscribe | 746 - General Audiences
Nobody told Zhenya that the Stanley Cup came with its own ghosts, but then again, most of the hockey players he knows donāt even have an inkling of the Sight. He first sees them when he takes the Cup from Bettman, kissing it and lifting it above his head even as the crowd swells to include the shimmer of other Cup Final crowds. Thereās a knot of ghostly players, too, all but one of them grinning wide, banging their ghostly sticks against the ice.

āHow do I break a curse that he canāt see, and youāll forget as soon as you leave?ā
āSame way you break any curseāwith true love or some equal sacrifice.ā Jags smirks. āIām guessing true love is out. So you find something else.ā
Claude glances around the room, as though the pain scale or knee anatomy charts can offer up a suggestion. āLike what?ā
blood pressureĀ | by @cornfieldsposts | AO3 Locked | 77.6 K - Mature
āYou smell like aāā TJ says to Mike before cutting himself off. He shakes his head and then seems to relax, or at least look like heās trying to relax. āHanging out a lot with Tom?ā
āYeah,ā Mike says, and knows heās grinning like a moron. āHeās great.ā Tom fell asleep on his shoulder yesterday morning. Mike had gently reached up and brushed Tomās shaggy hair away from his surprisingly cold skin. He worries that Tom doesnāt bundle up enoughā Tomās skin is so cold, and heās always pale. Maybe thatās because he doesnāt get to tan, though, Mike thinks,because Tom only works the night shift.
TJ seems to leave Mike alone after that, but at odd moments, he sees TJ staring at him from across the aisle, gaze fixed on Mikeās jaw or throat or something.
Small Magic | by @jedi-seagull | 10.6K - Teen and Up
The Penguins call him in early when it turns out that Evgeni Malkin is coming over from Russia - or maybe āfleeingā is a better word for it.
āMetallurg had his passport,ā Therrien says over the phone. āAnd when they had to give it back so he could travel with the team, itās likely that they took - ah, other precautions.ā
Magical precautions, he means. Theyāre practically sanctioned in the Superleague these days, though itās not like North American hockey has any room to point fingers. Sid grew up a Habs fan; he knows from curses.
Blight | by @ladyjanelly | 27.8 K - Mature
Jamie is twenty, a rookie in the NHL. Tyler is a seventeen year old homeless gay kid. It shouldnāt work, but theyāre doing okay until the Blight sweeps the world, dead people walking, killing, feeding.

And There Are LightsĀ | by @7iris | 24.2 K - Mature
Seth was raised with the knowledge of what exactly goes bump in the night. When he gets drafted, he thinks heās leaving that behind. He thinks heās going to be like everyone else, cheerfully oblivious to that shadow world.
And then he finds out about Roman.
And We Started At the EndĀ | byĀ nicoleh262Ā | 12.7K - Teen and Up
Lone traveler Mike Green stumbles across lonely shut-in Brooks Laich a few months after the apocalypse hits, and the two band together. While survival was what they originally had in mind, it is only once they grow close that they start living.
Or, more simply: Love in the time of the zombie apocalypse.
