So, I was writing a gushy post about how adorable Tripp and John were last night, what with Tripp's birthday, and his surprise cake, and his totally baffling attempt to talk about some random staff members while some different staff members waved a cake in his face and tried to make him blow out candles, and John looked on fondly forever. But I was also watching tonight's game, and Tripp started telling adorable stories about the Canes' Cup run, and how he wept when they won, and it reminded me all over again me exactly why I like him so much. He's not just a font of baffling and adorable flirting/bizarre stories/Czech fetishes. He's also so good at being a serious homer without actually being gross about it. He can make it abundantly clear that he is cheering for the Canes without saying anything bad about the other team! And he can WEEP AT THEIR CUP WIN, and also acknowledge on camera that they did actually commit that penalty, the refs are being fair, he just wishes they wouldn't do those things.

Not that I don't also ship Tripp and John a lot, because I REALLY DO, and they've clearly worked some shit out because John ~no longer says good night in the elevator on road trips~ (literally something they said during a broadcast) and there's been a lot of flirting, but ugh, they're so good at their jobs, and it just makes me happy.

(...and now my DW can match my twitter, where I'm pretty sure fully half my tweets are Tripp related. He's just so great!)


Also, people should come talk to me about fics that should exist because all mine are slightly stalled and I want something to think about. What things do you want to pop into existence? Not that I promise to write anything, but we can commiserate together.

A story (or several dozen stories) I wnat to wish into existence are where the story begins right after the two boys (any boys) get their act together and realise their undying love and gay-sex-having, and the story consists of their teammates and coaches and family all reacting, and seeing the boys trying to figure out how to do their jobs and live their lives like normal but only now they also have EACH OTHER and they can be disgustingly adorable and newlywed about it while their teammates refuse to sit on the plane anywhere near them for fear of seeing hands wander.

I want to see their teammates defend them against a hostile press (not that I want all the press to be hostile, but you know someone would be). I want to see their teammates being protective and help hide them from the public eye, make elaborate stories and escapades to prevent anyone from seeing them when they just can't stop from hugging and kissing one another because of FEELINGS.

I want to see Jon Toews be the uncertain, insecure one about why Kaner would ever love him back.

I want to see more Seabs/Duncs married fic, where they're just this big happy foursome family with lots of kids and dogs.

I want to see more stories about hockey players who are really just not that bright, but get to fall in love and be happy without "dumb" being seen as a bad thing.

Orgies. I want more orgies.

I want a story where Josh Harding is the Alpha, and Mikko is a werewolf too, and the Captain, and they talk about the team, and aren't a couple, but cuddle a lot? And Ryan Suter is also a werewolf, and Zach is not, but Ryan can talk to him about things, if he wanted, but because they've known each other forever he doesn't have to. And Granny and Nino are bb werewolves in love. And pack and team and family aren't all the same thing, but are like messy venn diagrams, and lots and lots of cuddling.

I actively need to stop writing hurt/comfort about Zach Parise's foot, because mostly I make myself sad. I've already written and posted some, and there's a smutty version that I might finish, and more ideas, and like...no. I want to not be sad about this team.

Speaking of things that are sad, I want fic about James Sheppard, but writing it would make me cry, and I don't know how I could work in a romance, and just...I don't want to write it, but I want it to exist.

Also fic about Arcobello.

And like a thousand other things.
