(also congrats on 500!!!)

- 🐠

thank you!!!

jack loves being a hockey wag

so much

if he could he would spend all of his time watching you play

he loves sitting right behind your team's bench and cheering for you whenever you block the other team

he'll be the loudest in the crowd

no matter what

seriously he'd probably try to train his voice to be able to yell and cheer for you louder

he's shown up to several race weekends with no voice at all to be honest

his team isn't the most thrilled until they figure out that actually people think it's very cute that he tries to support you so much

anyway

he loves seeing you in your gear

although he will wince whenever you bend in an ... interesting way to block the puck

he's always amazed that it doesn't hurt you to do that

of course he knows that you train for it

but still

you wince whenever he does his neck training so it's only fair

he also loves watching your teammates all hug and pat you after the game is over

will absolutely help you practice by shooting pucks at you except that his aim is not the greatest

honestly you get better practice just going skating with him

especially because he's so giggly and trips and tries to hang onto you just about all the time

every time you get off the ice after a game he jumps on you

with absolutely no reservations

he knows that a) he can't hurt you with all that padding and b) you're strong enough to catch him anyway

okay i'm so curious about how tall you are now?? anyway i love tall!reader so here!

suggestive content at the end.

kimi is so adamant that he is not short. he's above average height for his sex! he just. yk. he doesn't look like that anymore so now he's barely average height for his gender. and yeah, some days it gives him height dysphoria.

maybe he meets you because of a promotion for one of the american races? bc hockey's big over there. maybe you just go to a race because you like the sport. either way, kimi spots you, you wink at him, and suddenly he's actually quite glad he's "short" because you being so much taller than him is making his brain melt.

probably keep your distance publicly after that just to avoid controversy before either of you are ready. it's not exactly a question of if you think the relationship will last. you both nose-dived off the deep end the second you met. i think he goes to one of your games before you go to (another) race?

kimi is seriously questioning his judgment because halfway though the game you get another player's blood (minor injury) on your jersey and he's just sitting in the stands, silently going feral. he's so in love with you and so ready to jump your bones the second you're off the ice. he's only a little bit bitter that he has to be very diligent with his birth control because he absolutely could not handle one of your babies.

i gotcha bby more kimi and 6'7" hockey bf thoughts incoming ....

under cut bc nsfw bits (as is tradition with kimi and hockey bf)

(i can't remember if you write for lance, if not just ignore me lmao)

🦈

i do write for lance! he's so pretty i adore him <3 (i know nothing about hockey so i have no idea what an a is sorry 😭)

they're the unexpected duo of the '25 grid. maybe see each other at a game and find out they're both dating players for the same team. as soon as they realise this it becomes impossible to separate them. kimi is always talking to lance about how well their boyfriends' team did or how much you got screwed by the ref. they will never think either of you played badly even if you did.

lance is nodding sagely while kimi rants about you getting bloodied up on the ice because he's had the internal struggle of "i hope he's okay" and "god he looks hot" about a million times.

i absolutely love it so much. thank you for sending it in <3

franco colapinto is confident that he’ll be almost as good as you are, and then trips on his shoelaces before he even puts his skates on. he’ll stumble around the ice with one of those little kiddie training things. the second he lets go though he’ll fall.

gabriel bortoleto ends up almost accidentally doing the splits because he underestimated how slippery the ice was. he’ll stick by the wall for the rest of the afternoon and you’ll have to kiss his face a bunch before he stops sulking.

kimi antonelli is pretty good at the basics, but he gets too excited and tries to keep up with you. big mistake. he’ll fall over and then insist you give him a piggy back ride while skating because you’re a good boyfriend.

ollie bearman is like a baby deer getting his legs. he’s so uncoordinated that he just gives up on trying to do it right. if you’re skating outside he’ll probably just end up making angels in the snow while he watches you.

Your resident hockey nerd, 🦈

thank you sharkie!! i will forever be obsessed with tall hockey!bf and with logan :D

first of all, logan is very sympathetic after you lose your match. he really is! he'll reassure you that it's not your fault (or at the very least, not solely your fault) and give you plenty of consolatory kisses. and when you tell him you won't be playing the next couple games, he's a little sad for you.

but then, of course, he wants to cheer you up. logan will beam at you and probably literally jump into your arms. he will then very happily proclaim that you finally have enough time to spend all day cuddling with him. logan will probably have the two of you watching a marathon of some movie franchise or tv series. you've definitely binge watched friends with him more than once. he's a sucker for a good sitcom.

during this marathon, by the way, logan will be completely on top of you no matter what. he's lying on you, sitting on your lap, there's maybe an hour's total between your first game and when you next play that you aren't physically touching logan. hell, he'd even have you give him piggybacks around the supermarket.

He desides to stand under a tree to avoid hitting his head and he walks into a branch. He is no longer allowed to leave kimi's driver room.

🦈

i'm sensing that hockey!bf is popular. yk just a vibe 😅🫶

kimi totally walks into the paddock confident that it'll be the one place he doesn't have to remind you to duck every five seconds. it's not. you'd think, after a lifetime of it, you'd be a bit better at being tall, but no.

within five minutes, you've already hit your head on three doorways, two lights, and one low-hanging vent. you're not really fazed—this is normal for you—but kimi is so stressed. he's very carefully leading you back out of the garage. then he gets pulled away for driver duties and you decide to find a tree to stand under. that'd be safe, right? nothing you could possibly hit your head on.

... except that branch, ow.

Anyways... 6'7" bf proposing to kimi after winning the stanly cup as his teammates chirp away in the background. If he plays for the Canadians, lance is so becoming kimi's new bestie so they can gossip. (lance x hockey player? They can be team mates)

Ok bye.. I'm going for lunch now

🦈

good to know it's accurate lmao. since i don't write proposal fics (all good sharkie dw) i'm gonna write this as just reader and kimi hard launching after the championship. canadiens!reader + hockey wag!lance also features.

kimi's been spotted at a lot of nhl games that season. like, every canadiens game that doesn't clash with a race weekend. nobody really suspects anything because yes the fandom has a lot of gay ships but nobody really thinks the drivers are gay.

you have your own fanbase, obviously. i'd say a solid 80% of your fanbase are actual hockey fans. the remaining 20% are just people who are losing their minds and dignity over you being 6'7". there's also actual hockey fans who still lose their minds over you. as they should tbh

then your team wins the stanley cup. all the other players have their girlfriends celebrating with them and it's just one of those moments where something clicks for both you and kimi. you lock eyes and you're both so tired of having to pretend like you're not boyfriends. it's not really a thought-out decision. it's not impulsive either. it's just something that both of you need to do.

before anyone else really processes what's happening, kimi runs to you and jumps into your arms and you're kissing and it just feels right.

when lance finds out that kimi is going to montréal canadiens games, he'll start going more too and they'll rant about the refs together. kimi tells lance about you and then they end up gossiping about any team drama you tell kimi about. maybe kimi's bf!reader and lance's bf!reader are best friends on the team, maybe lance's bf!reader is kimi's bf!reader's mentor kinda. when kimi joins f1, lance is totally adopting him. that's his grid kid now.
