Fic: They Grow Up So Fast (Hockey, Danny Briere/Claude Giroux, 800 words, General Audiences)

Summary: Caelan has Zaac on his shoulders, both of them grinning, which makes him look even taller than he is. He is, however, tall. Taller than Danny. As tall as Claude. It stuns Claude for a moment no one notices because Caelan is saying, "Do you remember Claude?" to Zaac.

Notes: Snippet for lattice_frames, who asked for Claude realizing Caelan is as tall as him.

Fic: All Parts Necessary for Completeness (Hockey, Evgeni Malkin, Sidney Crosby gen, 1400 words, G)

Summary: Geno places a word in the right ears, nudging a little here and there, easy as a pass across the ice, until Flower stands up in the middle of the locker room after practice and says, "Listen up, boys. Tomorrow night, we are throwing Sid a housewarming party. Every one of you is bringing something."

Notes: Snippet for icanbreakthesky, who wanted Sid and touch. (I veered a little from that.) Title from the Collins English Dictionary definition of "self-contained."

( All Parts Necessary for Completeness )

Everything is jossed! (Everything is a fic idea.)

Yesterday Danny Briere signed with the Canadiens (I can totally be a Habs fan; they have the Gallys, Prust, PK, Carey Price, and a non-hideous logo) and Tyler Seguin got traded to Dallas. This josses pretty much everything I have in progress, including one of the snippets I posted yesterday that I only started writing yesterday morning. But that's okay, because I have no shortage of new ideas. Also, my two long, in progress hockey stories were already jossed, and I've decided I'm too deep in (they're both over 50,000 words now) to try to fix that. They'll just be AUish.

On draft day, I actually said, "Seguin trade rumors: but Fred can't move with him (yet)! He still has another year of college and this isn't a Christian Kane song." But then yesterday afternoon, Fred tweeted the results of a Google search for D3 in Dallas (Note for the confused: Fred plays NCAA Division III hockey and refers to himself as a "D3 warrior."), so maybe this is a Christian Kane song after all. (There's even a lyric about Texas.)

( The song, for reference. )

If Fred doesn't move to Dallas with Segs (I'm pretty sure he can't unless he drops out of school), I want someone who is not me to write long distance Fred/Segs fic where Fred and Marshall live in the house Segs just bought in the Boston area and they miss each other a lot even though they know they only have to make it to next summer when Fred graduates and can move to Dallas to be with Segs.
