Serial Shipper

When Yuna and Svetlana finally meet at some event, they end up talking hockey for hours. They recite stats, list injuries and dissect teams. They mostly agree and even when their opinions differ they can accept the other‘s viewpoint as the second most-likely scenario.

All the professional players already left them alone, because those two are way too intense about hockey.

Shane makes a throwaway comment that with their knowledge they should be commentators. Yuna and Sveta dismiss the idea that any station would hire them, but hey, they could start a podcast. Would be fun.

And then I find a fic in the same fandom/pairing that has a fraction of the hits and therefore even much less kudos and am surprised how such a little gem got by unnoticed. This is one of them:

It starts sad and bittersweet with a major character death but gets positive towards the end. I could spoiler more but don't want to so openly. DM me if you need to know more before reading.

S3-E03

So Dawson shames Pacey for breaking up with Andie? After she cheated? And he basically tells him he is the one who stole the test because Pacey is the one too dumb to pass it honestly. Greatest best friend (not), again.

S3-E03

Eve: “Let’s have sex.”

Dawson: “Nah, I want to watch a movie first.”

The way I see it - and that might be a cultural thing - it was Quinn who wrecked her marriage by cheating. And what we learn is, that the marriage had already been a wreck before Gael came into the picture.

So we forget that Nicholas wanted to retire anyway and got roped into another year by Jack? We ignore that he was looking forward to retirement and already ordered the dog?

Sure, let him come back and work himself into the grave. Despite there finally being someone who could take over. Or even better, have Nicholas show Cheyenne the ropes, allow for a smooth transition later on.

Show: this new development will be be very very dramatic.

Viewer: but couldn’t it be really simple because you mentioned two episodes ago …

I love the two walking breakdowns that are Jack and Genevieve.

Cheyenne and her determination.

Nicholas and his stories.

I‘m usually not big with recommendations, but I just read this cute little pre-slash Sterek fic that I thoroughly enjoyed. It’s set in an all human kickboxing AU and is about healing after loss, friendship and finding your place in the world again.

Compared to other Sterek fics it has criminally low kudos and IMO deserves more attention.

S3/E02

Does Sheriff Witter even need his car for work? The number of times Pacey is driving it around and not only in town. Picking Andie up somewhere a five-hour drive away? I’m confused not even other cops stop him to ask what he’s doing outside of his jurisdiction. Nobody can convince me that Capeside‘s sheriff’s office has such a wide reach.

S3/E02

I’m coming to the conclusion that Dawson and Joey have the most destructive relationship ever. And not regarding them as a couple but for all people around them.

They get together in the season one finale and Jen’s grandfather dies.

They kiss in S2/E19 and Abby dies.

They get back together and Mr. Potter starts dealing again.
