Pairing: Sidney/Crosby/Geno Malkin, (Oksana/Geno Malkin, accidental!Sidney Crosby/Alexander Ovechkin, Maria Kirilenko/Alexander Ovechkin).
Rating: R
Warnings: At one point one character drinks too much and another character who is in a relationship with someone else makes out with him. It's indented to be playful, but when this fic was posted, several people interpreted the scene as dubcon and/or impaired consent. I did not intended it to be, however, if dubcon or impaired consent is a trigger for you, I advise that you read with caution.
Summary: Sidney can wait. He can. But he doesn't want to. And that’s what it comes down to, really.
Or the KHL au where Sidney goes to Russia, plays hockey, and lives on borrowed time/angst's all over Geno's soft furnishing.
N.B. This would not have been possible without the help and support of Caroline (
northern_star), Rae (
masterpenguin82) and Lexi (
pikasafire). Caroline generously gave her time and hockey expertise to help me with this thing. She was there right from the beginning when I first emailed her
this and said I would read the heck out of that au (I didn't plan to write it until she convinced me too). Rae got me into this fandom and since doing so, she and Lexi have been such wonderful cheerleaders for all my hockey fics. They're also pretty amazing mods. Thank you all for patiently letting me ramble and bounce ideas off you. I owe you one. *hugs and hearts*
I would also like to thank
