[fic] Casual Affair (Peca/Pronger)
Title: Casual Affair
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Michael Peca/Chris Pronger (Edmonton Oilers)
Word Count: 5806
Summary: Chris Pronger deals with the game seven loss to Carolina, and the deterioration of his personal life.
Author's Notes: I can't believe I'm writing about Chris Pronger. But apparently I find his request for a trade not only irritating, but also intriguing. In addition to the normal "This is All Fiction" disclaimer, I add the following: I have no idea where Chris lived in Edmonton, what kind of car he drives, when (if at all) Lauren actually went back to Saint Louis, the status of Michael and Krisin Peca's living situation, et cetera along the same vein. I don't actually know anything other than a pair of matching rumours that both Kristin Peca and Lauren Pronger disliked living in Edmonton so much that their husbands were looking to be traded/picked up elsewhere. Another note: this story was written while Michael was still unsigned, and the ending is likewise set before Michael ended up being picked up by Toronto (and thus not actually getting to play a game against Anaheim during the 2006-2007 season).
The title has sort of a double meaning here. There's obviously the blunt use, speaking in terms of the affair Chris is having with Michael. Alternately, it's borrowing from the song of the same title by Tonic. I liked the way the lyrics (particularly the ones I'm including) suggest a feeling of being bought, and being loved for something completely outside your true self. I'm fairly certain the song is about being a rock star, but really, the sentiment is probably shared by most people that live in the limelight.
I wrote this way, way back right when Chris' trade went through to Anaheim in the summer of 2006.
Posted for Ja, because she hates Chris Pronger. And also because she's been so patiently waiting for 90 stories that I haven't finished yet. ILU MOAR!
