Summary:

San Jose's nothing like it. The two are in the front, in the flesh, and the bulk he kept hearing about is up close. Now, he has a memory of said flesh giving way beneath his grip.

Rules: make a new post with the names of all the files in your wip folder, regardless of how non descriptive or ridiculous. let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have wips.

Thank you @notanotherfanblog for the tag, i have acquired more wips (and fandoms) since i last did this kind of ask game haha, but i will stick to hrpf and baseball rpf as my f1 stuff is just On Pause rn. Forewarning, some of these are titles + ship and some are just, semi descriptive things/vibes.

Baseball au - a bigger document with s bunch of hockeys in baseball as a sort of multipart series plan, including sidgeno nd paul/james in the pittsburgh pirates and also a mceichel plan. Will have better names per oneshot.

Warm leftovers - willmackbedsy: in some alternate future, willmack drive bedsy home after the threesome.

canada geese - nicojack: the classic soulmate goose au, for nicojack, in a nebulous devils season.

looping time - bedsy: connor bedard gets stuck in and then gets out of timeloops. Again. And again.

jump - bedsy: multiverse jumper connor bedard, and the million different possibilities in a sport like hockey.

paulie and nealer - on anchors and ships: James Neal, Paul Martin, and anchor marks that form when you choose someone over and over again,even in your times of being lost. Pulling and pushing.

The witch and the wolf - 271: werewolf!will smith, and witch!macklin celebrini, in a world where the supernatural play in the nhl and generational curses of bloodline rivalries somehow STILL fuck things up.

love dies in philly - tknp, jdtz, brioux, and assorted ships through time, and their meetings with the Cities, personified.

BB : a study of beau bennett in a piano man esque setting, he plays piano at an old bar in pittsburgh and watches the people come and go, and gets paid in both cash and wine.

brioux - soulmates : once you choose him, you will choose him over and over again. Claude Giroux, would you still like to proceed?

ghosting along: the seattle kraken, finding new homes and support and the power of names. magical realism study of Something idk yet. Mccann and eberle star prominently.

stellar collision - wyharls: wyatt johnston, through the years, and the ways in which he orbits one thomas harley, eventually merging. including the peanut gallery of the dallas frat.

Revel without a care - logan/cal: cal raleigh/logan gilbert, baseball rpf, based on lorde's "team". A study in teenage athlete yearnings and the magic in t-mobile park.

Listen. I have too many wips. I know. This does not even include my nascar and indycar rpf 😭.

wip ask game

Well, we writers just love an excuse to talk abt our projects, and a greedy ask is the best kind <3. Thanks a ton :)

looping time:

This is just ideas and planning for now due to logistics and me having written snips only. yes, of course Bedard is suffering timeloops on top of a season Like That, he's a 1oa! (I kid. He needs a hug and an ssri.) so i initially started off with what if he went through multiple loops of the jaw injury, and relived it several times over in varying reactions both violent and not until he settled on the one we got.

It was supposed to be a short character study, but i switched to outsider POV that treats it like an observational report on a lab rat, in a weird format i've tried before a bit. This made it easier to add some stuff and also address parts of the blackhawks of it all, unfortunate as it is, and with switching povs he'd essentially be going through multiple timeloops.

The loops would include things like The jaw injury, another key moment at the start of the season, that one game with will and macklin where he said hello to mack. The first overall prophecy narratives and really highlighting how kevin not being up often impacts him.

It crosses both the seasons and parts of the off season, and includes appearances from wonderful blorbos of mine (So self indulgent) like fraser minten and kent johnson! Did you know kent is a friend/mentor figure and will star as such? They lived tgt in vancouver for a summer! Mints is also going to see past the admiration lens he usually talks about bedsy with!

It's becoming a bit of a large undertaking, the initial "he relived his injury" idea having spiralled WAY out of hand, haha. He does get a hopeful ish ending, atleast? And it is also a little bit of a targeted gift for my bedard loving friend.

warm leftovers:

The inspiration was this poem, "after the threesome, they both take you home" by sue hyon bae. The title is the last two words of the poem, which might change later.

Willmack have established themselves as so devoted to eachother, such tender interdependency, will driving mack everywhere, being unable to sleep without each other.

the concept of an away game in which he's being driven back to his hotel after a post-game threesome with them in all their coupleyness overtook me after my friend joked about it. I'll attach two snippets i like because this fic is just. It makes me vibrate and unable to articulate without just writing it. This takes place mostly in a car ride!

Caught in a livewire, that illusive chemistry Mack kept talking about that Connor didn't get until he saw it and it choked him a little, tripped him at every door frame half a step behind; they kept waiting. Will's tilt of the head in acknowledgement and a slowed tempo Mack matched without looking. Push and pull, directed with mostly steady footsteps on the rug and a warm palm brand on the small of his back. Giggling at some dry chirp Connor had let loose about interior design.
