    Bookmarker's Notes

    Deeply emotional story, gripping, actually uses that rarest of fic tropes - adult conversation - for some of the plot points.

    N.B. there are a lot of typos, wrong word use and names are misspelled and one OC changes names, which are all the signs of badfic right, but this story has some smarts behind it. Depicts depression, anxiety and self medicating in a realistic way (for fic) with some time compression unreality on recovery, but that's to be expected. Female OC who is actually pretty awesome and an interesting commentary on hockey wives is written in a way that will cross over into misogyny for some.

    It didn't ever dip too far into fic fantasy (although everyone is way too nice and pro gay) for me and it doesn't tail off into total incoherent id fic about 4/5 through like this sort of thing generally does. YMMV.

    There isn't a word for this, but really good badfic is what it actually is.
