maskitheclownEdit: Let's put this on the start, maybe... Something on the actual game, look at me being an adult.
Ok, so I'm gonna start with Sidney Crosby because he's my favorite even though I know you'll like Kris Letang best - no primer :( but have a pic of him:
I'll live. I didn't read any fic with him but I think I saw him slashed with Ovechkin a few times. Which handily brings me to point One.
Hockey players are ugly. And sometimes toothless. But pretty much always ugly.
Ok, now that we got that out of the way, have the Sidney Crosby primer I made :)
Recap: Sidney Crosby is the captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins and he doesn't really express himself emotionally and also does absolutely nothing in life except play hockey.
Some videos.
He plays with Evgeni Malkin who escaped Russia to become a Penguin (and hugs lions and just generally seems like he'd be a great cuddler) and Marc Andre Fleury (Flower!) who is a goalie and also fucking adorable. (And like, other players who are totally relevant like Kris Letang.)
Oh yeah, hockey players like to have and give nicknames, but they are all pretty horrible. Like Sidney's is "Sid the Kid" and Evgeni's is "Geno" and Kane's is "Kaner" and Ovechkin's is "Ovie". O.o So far the only legit one is Toews' "Tazer" ... and "Captain Serious" is pretty awesome too.
Toews and Kane of Chicago Blackhawks! Toews is another Canadian hockey playing robot Captain and Kane is a tiny dude who plays great and has an amazing smile but likes to get drunk and do incredibly stupid shit like possibly choke women, we're not sure, but this video of him does make life better.
Some more videos, there's Toews and Kane below.
They play with Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook who are pretty married. (They didn't exchange rings, but they exchanged teeth, which in hockey is probably equally binding.)
This post is pretty fucking awesome and it has some very important pairings like "The Age Difference Pairing: Jeff Skinner/Eric Staal (Carolina Hurricanes)" and what you'll like "The Separated by Cruel Fate Pairing: Jeff Carter/Mike Richards (LA Kings)" (seriously, it's the best real life love story you'll ever read).
And just... Oilers. Like, all of them, together, because they are massive trolls. I think it's entirelly possible they will be my favorite team even though they suck. Idek what to do with that.
Other notable people are THE STAALS (4 of htem) who are all very, very blond and very good at hockey (only one of them is not in the NHL at the moment).
Jordan Staal played with Crosby until the end of this season and will now join his brother, Eric, in the Hurricanes. Eric is the one having sex with Jeff Skinner. I can only assume we'll now have threesomes.
And, like, that's it from me for now. If I remember anything else I'll message you obsessively, don't worry. :P
Now, since our fic needs are pretty different, I don't really know what to rec except for my very favorties. So have my pinboard for hockeyfic and this rec list.
And AO3's Hockey RPF tag is pretty good.
My favorites are:
The totally domestic one of domesticity with Sidney Crosby and OMC, which is also very long and very mellow but I just love it, it's like drowning in cheesecake. - Taken by the Sea
There is a lot of Kane/Toews but I can't figure out which one you'd like... but, ok, I think this one:
And the Kane/Toews AU with Kane not playing hockey that is kinda WiP but can stand on its own for now.
But it's AU. Oh well, I'm not convinced they'd be your favorite pairing anyway. Just go through their AO3 tag :D
High school AU with Keith/Seabrook that I <3
And seriously the best threesome fic I ever read Hall/Eberle/Nugent-Hopkins SERIOUSLY.
