    Summary

    Jonny exhales, his mind and his body exhausted. Yet before he heads inside to go to sleep, Jonny stands with his eyes closed, and he takes count of the absolute truths.

    He’s thirty-five years old. His body is battling a chronic illness. He’s no longer captain of an original six franchise in the NHL. He’s no longer employed, technically speaking, with his contract running out at the end of the season. He’s accomplished more than most hockey players could ever hope for in a lifetime - Olympic gold, multiple Stanley Cups. He’s a Conn Smythe winner. Recipient of the Mark Messier Leadership Award.

    And he’s comprehensively, infinitely in love with Patrick Kane.

    [It's the summer of 2023, and Jonathan Toews finally gets out the words that have been stuck in his throat.]

    Summary

    “We don’t like each other.”
    Chiarelli nods. “Why?” He doesn’t seem surprised
    Jack shakes his head. “We just don’t get along, we just… don’t fit together.”
    “Well excuse my language but I think we all know that’s bullshit.”
    “Unless,” Connor says, “I got some random kid named Jack Eichel and he got some random kid named Connor McDavid and we’re not each other’s soulmates, everyone just overreacted.”

    Or

    Jack and Connor are soulmates and they're not happy about it.

    One of my favorite works of all time. Pulls off the soulmate trope brilliantly, on account of Jack and Connor having real issues they need to work through—a really nice reminder that enduring love isn't a feeling, isn't something that happens To us, isn't passive and easy, it's an active choice. The ending of this fic kills me EVERY TIME. So, so good, and so perfectly fitting.

    “I’m a stud,” Patrick announces.

    “You’re a moron,” Jonny says, rolling away to lie on his back. “But I’ll keep you.”

    Summary

    “Potter,” Malfoy said with a slow smile. “You’re a trashy, new money slut.”

    “Yeah? Maybe you like it.”

    --

    The worst thing about being the Golden Boy is the freebies. Free drinks. Easy sex. It’s all too easy.

    The worst thing about being a Malfoy is the expectations. Marriage. Kids. It’s all so scripted.

    Harry wants his arse kicked. Draco decides to grab life by the balls.
