the blue crabs have a dads/father figures trip. lars expects no one to come for him, so he's absolutely NOT expecting anders to walk through the door (this is after anders retired). no one knows how lars will react. punch? yell? oh no, he's crying. he's hugging his brother and crying.

my son, not helpfully: in three months, we might be down to one

YOUNG MAN, GO TO YOUR ROOM

a woman is crying while holding a napkin in front of a box with the letter i on it ALT: a woman is crying while holding a napkin in front of a box with the letter i on it

there are only two members of the 2018 caps left on the team

booooo but fine haha i guess that makes sense

get them smoochin'!!

I'll see what I can do!!

lars: casually confessing in Swedish he's in love with Ryan because he knows Ryan has no f-ing clue what he's saying

henri: not even able to confess in French because je t'aime and je t'adore would be too easy to figure out, so he's stuck bottling it up in both languages

tessa is stuck in the worst winter in recorded history. whoops. but hey! i got her back home so... could be worse.

henri's drunk and just got a bj so i think he's fine where he is.

writers, do you ever feel bad that you've paused your writing and just... left your characters in a weird spot. like they're just stuck in that scene until you write them out of it?

quote & tell me where you left your characters

abqturkeysnhl: BREAKING NEWS! The Turkeys have acquired Luc-Henri Baptiste from the LA Devils for a 5th round pick in the 2024 draft. Baptiste was drafted third overall in the 2017 draft by the Carolina Reapers. Welcome to Albuquerque! Bienvenue à Albuquerque! 🦃🏒

and you do it so well! I've only participated in two non-DPP anthologies and I found the communication and end product and attention to detail far smoother with DPP

No I get that it's a Uk Canadian thing, it's always bugged me because why are you guys spelling it like French but not pronouncing it like French. But this is hockey 😭 I thought we all agreed on hockey

french-canadians are excused from this complaint

i was today years old when it computed that canadians spell the hockey position "center" as "centre" and i hate it

me: mind your business
my youngest: ragebaiting my brother is my business

This week's #wipwednesday is from my next #hockeyromance story

quote with two of your book covers and/or art pieces!

[just two, so the images aren’t squished!]

Here are two of my covers! I don't do the art but design my #hockeyromance covers, but @isthiseva.bsky.social designed the Tessa one 🥰

Share a TV show that raised you

That one killed me. I let it go the first sentence but then it appeared again and again and I had to nope out 😭

a man in a suit and tie is saying he a little confused but he got the spirit . ALT: a man in a suit and tie is saying he a little confused but he got the spirit .

To be clear, I think it's great that there's a new interest in hockey and new fans are coming in. And the writing and stories are otherwise fantastic... But when a ref is called an umpire or they have quarters instead of periods, I'm just reeling a little

two women are standing in a living room and one of them says that 's not how this works ALT: two women are standing in a living room and one of them says that 's not how this works

Me reading heated rivalry fic and it gets to the hockey parts:

i haven't even gotten to playoffs yet......

every time my team is short benched "ashley, do you want to play center?" lmao no, no i do not. but i will if you need me to. but i will probably lose every face-off. and as soon as an opportunity to cover the D comes up, i will and i won't leave.

why do i have four centers? ryan, lars, evan, henri. I DON'T PLAY CENTER. IT IS MY LEAST FAVORITE POSITION. lol what am i doing to myself??

Just really enjoying the Olympics

Attended a book bedazzling event tonight, which was all the more fun because it was at a brewery in Brady's childhood neighborhood ♥️🍺
