Pens feels/ kid fic recs
The Pens just took the Jets to school, it was fucking beautiful.
GENO IS BACK.
14 IN A ROW.
I CAN'T I CAN'T I CAN'T
Shutout for Vokoun, assist for Vokoun, and even our PK was beautiful! It's like we can do no wrong! My Bruins may be struggling, but the Pens are EN FUEGOOOOOO. GUH.
This was my first time seeing Murray or Morrow play, and yeah, ok, they can stay. But I'm still nervous about Iginla. But only because I'm worried about who he will displace. I'm guessing they'll want him on Sid's line, and they probably won't knock Kuni down, since he's one of the top goal scorers in the league right now. BUT THEY NEED DUPER, TOO. hjkhsfkshdf nervooooous.
OK. Anyway. I've been meaning to put together a recs list of Hockey RPF kid fics, because it's become my faaaaaavorite trope. In other fandoms I can take it or leave it, but when it's hockey players bungling their way through child rearing, my heart fucking melts. And fandom is with my on this, because there's kid fic for all the major pairings.
This is not a comprehensive list, obv, I'm sure there are plenty I don't know about. BUT THESE ARE THE ONES I COMPLETELY ADORE.
[5 recs]
I'm not gonna say anything about them individually, because it's basically the same: cuteness and co-parenting and generally lots of pining and angsting too. YUM.

The first girl Sid ever falls in love with is named Rachel Forbes. When he first meets her, she’s four weeks old, pink, and squishy-looking. Objectively, she’s kind of ugly, but she’s so tiny when he sees her in the incubator at NICU, and he’s never seen a baby that small.

When Canadian figure skater Jeff Skinner wrecked his knee, he never could have imagined that he'd end up helping pay his way through college as a live-in babysitter for Eric Staal's three-year-old son, Joey.

The baby stirs a little, and whimpers before settling himself again, and Taylor looks at him. He's dark haired and brown eyed, and looks a lot like Emily. Jonathan could be his kid, or he could be Ebs’s kid. Taylor can't tell.
edit: can't believe I almost forgot this one! kindergarten teacher Kaner is the best.
