Notes:

Soooo…. hi? I’m back-ish? The month of July was a bunch of bullshit and both myself and my beta were NOT all in. But we’re both back.

You may have noticed the chapter count jump up. Chapter Four was getting astronomically long so I took out this little interlude, and then I’m going to turn it into two chapters… in theory? Don’t panic if you see the chapter count jump AGAIN.

As for posting schedule? It’s gonna be all vibes and whimsy. I don’t know what it’s gonna end up becoming. I just know it’ll probably be twice the length I anticipated.

So, while we all patiently wait for the next “official” chapter, here is 800 words of playoff-induced breakdowns.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

The Grand Marshal of Gay Hockey is incredibly pleased with himself tonight 

[Image Description: Post game. The gay hockey delegation is in the middle of the ice, holding their helmets in their arms. Hunter is smiling, while the Ottawa players are visibly exhausted. LaPointe looks embarrassed, while Hollander, Rozanov, and Barrett are a bit dejected. Vaughn is standing behind Hunter, sort of like a body guard.]

Notes:

I didn't even think I was going to be able to post today. Thank you all for being so incredibly patient through all of this weird personal timeline bullshit.

Ever since I learned how to put gifs into AO3, I've been abusing the privilege 😌

I will say, during my hiatus I dabbled in hRPF, and have learned LOTS! So from that perspective, things may change, just because I’ve learned more about the ✨culture✨
