Plot Bunny: Depressed Kaner Futurefic (Hockey RPF, Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews/m)

This is not a happy plot bunny. I was having a really terrible week when I wrote it out, and I never got to the happy ending (which was not going to be Kane/Toews). I will never write this story, but if anyone else wants to take it on, feel free.

Warning: Depression and unspecified suicidal/self-harming ideation.

Fic: Written All Over My Face (Hockey, Patrick Kane/Jonathan Toews, 5000 words, Adult/Explicit)

Summary: He and Jonny hook up sometimes, sober on the road, drunk at home, but Pat isn't thinking about that, not when he takes Jonny's jersey and not later, when he's getting ready for bed in a room that's too empty with just him in it and he opens his bag to the bright red of a jersey. He just takes the jersey out of his bag and pulls it on over his t-shirt.

Notes: Many thanks to lakeeffectgirl for audiencing and beta duties (all remaining errors are my own) and schuyler for the timely local weather report as measured by dudebro attire. Title from Amanda Marshall's "Red Magic Marker."
