jakub dobeš/jacob fowler, E, 2.8k, complicated feelings, fwb situationship, post-game sex

Jacob sighs, fidgeting idly with the hem of his shorts. There's nothing to do and nobody to talk to, and he doesn't even know why he's waiting for Doby to finish up.

mike matheson &/ lane hutson, G, 1.5k, muppet au, tender platonicism in an age gap dynamic

"Neat, huh," Mike chuckles, amused. His smiles settles warmly into his trimmed ginger beard. "You're playing this pretty cool, buddy. It's Muppet Heritage Night. Not nervous about the faceoff?"

jakub dobeš/jacob fowler + samuel montembeault pov, E, 1.1k, accidental voyeurism, plane bj

Samuel's eyes have gotten tired of staying shut. But it's either that, or let his brain realise there's nothing for him to do. A fate worse than pretending to sleep. It's pretty silent. Until he hears something vaguely to his right, and he turns to look, and his eyes land on something he didn't expect. On the other side of the plane, past Patrik, his two rookie goaltenders sit together—but one of them is missing. No, he's not. "Shh," Jakub hisses through his lips, "Quiet."

ivan demidov/lane hutson, T, first love, getting together, holiday break

It's a buzzing feeling under his skin that Lane has trouble describing to anyone who isn't an athlete. Most other hockey players will get it in the offseason, or even during bye week. When he expresses the itch to get back on the ice, let's say, in August—nobody questions it. Christmas Day, though, that'll get you the raised eyebrow. Even other players will see it as too much. But Ivan didn't. (or, seven days with Lane and Ivan.)

quinn hughes & original muppet character, G, 3.4k, pov second person, muppet oc w/ a little celebrity crush on quinn

You think, sometimes, about the muppet you could've grown to become, if you hadn't given up. Maybe you could've been a hockey player, like Quinn Hughes. He must have been able to tough it out.

nils höglander/nuckhead, t, 2.1k, pov 2nd person, clubbing, gay awakening, fleeting moment

The last time you were this drunk, you ended the night with a new favourite hockey player and a funny anecdote to tell your friends.

ivan demidov/lane hutson, G, 1.2k, 2024 entry draft, first meeting, muppet au

Ivan isn't even sure what it is he's called for at first, until he hears the little clearing of a throat, from all the way down past where he'd been looking. Ah. Right. That makes sense. "Ivan, this is Lane Hutson," he hears, "Lane, this is Ivan Demidov—although, I suppose you would know, you were watching too."
