How many Brioux threads do two fangirls need?

[rsadelle]

I wrote this whole post at work today, and then Carter and Richards got their last piece of happily ever after with their Stanley Cup and no one will care about anyone else, but I wrote it, so have it anyway.

Hockey people, if you don't have lakeeffectgirl and her fic journal alonewithghosts friended, you're missing out. She finds and/or writes the best things.

Once upon a time, before she even liked them, she outlined the epic Brioux plot for me, and then she wrote some bits of it. She's ditching it now, but she has put the breakup scene of my heart (and a few other bits) up at her fic journal. Be forewarned, it is full of sadness, but in a really satisfying way. (Sometimes I just go reread that scene. I love it that much.)

She also directed me toward this:

which is all about Mike Richards being sad after he got traded. We would both very much like some Mike/Cabbie fic if anyone would be into writing that.

Also glorious is this post by gigantic which has both a video of Kings players talking about Twilight (Did you know Mike Richards read the books? I have no idea why they appeal to hockey players, but I almost hope he and Carter are reading 50 Shades of Fan Fic now.) and a fabulous plot bunny about hockey players having a YA lit book club.

Also devoted to making my summer better: the Tylers. littledivinity has an awesome primer about them, and they're continuing to live up to everything that primer promises. They live together in the off-season, which prompted Seguin to tweet about yoga. Then he adopted a puppy. Then Brown retweeted some other guy who said of them, "Good to see u boys are still happily attached at the hip." I don't know why I find these two in particular so delightful, and yet I do. Possibly it has something to do with Brown calling Seguin "the wife" in a cheerful and non-demeaning way.

Also delightful, this picture of P.K. Subban and Carey Price wearing each other's names:



Clothes sharing and people wearing each other's names forever.

Anyway, lakeeffectgirl and I have been discussing tropes we could apply to the Briouxs or Carter and Richards. Tell me your favorite tropes we could plot bunny!

I have so far written no Carter/Richards (Given the way these things go, I'm sure I will eventually. Keep in mind that they once played on a team with Patrick Sharp, who makes everything more entertaining.), but I now have three Brioux docs: the one where Sean has a boyfriend, the one where Hartsy is confused and no one got divorced (I really want to write more of this, but I don't know what else would happen), and the one where Danny is Claude's professor. I was going to post something not Brioux this weekend, but then I decided I didn't want to (a) read through it one last time for anything that needs to be fixed or (b) deal with AO3. But clothes sharing and feelings sometime this week, I promise.

How did I NOT EVEN THINK to imagine them reading "50 Shades of Grey"? Of course they would! OF COURSE.

Also, thank goodness somebody put together a primer for Tyler Seguin and Tyler Brown, because I've been so confused about how they're basically married in a way even they acknowledge, have moved in together, have gotten a dog, and YET NOBODY TALKS ABOUT THEM.

[lakeeffectgirl.livejournal.com]

The dog is new! Like, they got it on Saturday or something like that sort of new. And it is a tiny puppy and ARE THEY RESPONSIBLE DOG PARENTS? I hope so.

[rsadelle]

Perhaps Candace Seguin is keeping a careful eye on them to make sure they're being good dog parents.

Lol, no one talks about them because Seguin is known to be a manwhore, however true those rumours are. I secretly hope they're a couple they are adorbs together.

[rsadelle]

I would totally read a story where they have an open relationship where they're together in the off-season, and they can do whatever they want during the rest of the year. (Possibly also with telling each other about their hookups.)

I can't bring myself to read fics but I like the way your mind works. But seriously I can't help but wonder how much of these bromances in hockey is the real deal xD.

[rsadelle]

OF COURSE. I would totally read a story where Carter and Richards have one copy of the book they're sharing and they're alternately horrified by the writing and turned on.

The Tylers are so fascinating to me! I think no one talks about them because no one knows who Tyler Brown is (except that he's Tyler Seguin's husband). Also, it sounds from the other things in the primer that living together in the off-season is a thing they do every year, not just now. This is a long-term relationship!

This is a long-term relationship! Oh vey! If only.... <3

Hey what's the status with the Tyler's? I have heard Tyler is now rooming with Maple Leafs prospect Jesse Blacker (who is ridiculously hot).

[rsadelle]

They keep tweeting about the dog, so I'm pretty sure the Tylers still live together. It's possible other people live with them/visit when Seguin's out of town.

Oh ok Jesse uploaded a pic of Tyler in bed and some girl on tumblr stated Jesse and Tyler were roommates so I headed over here. Glad to hear the bromance is going strong.
