Hockey Exchange Letter
Dear Hockey Exchange Writer,
First of all, thank you for signing up to write one of these pairings. I'm already so excited to see what you'll come up with, and I'm sure I will love whatever it is!
From my signup:
Likes:
- Tropes, tropes, tropes
- bed sharing
- secret/pretend dating
- marriage of convenience
- banter
- pining
- soulmates
I'm happy with AU or canon fic for all pairings, although if I had a preference I think I'd prefer canon for Aaron/Willie. Also for them, I'm fine if you want to bring Megan into it and do some poly! I'm also fine if you don't, but if that's the case, I'd prefer she not be around at all. Please no infidelity.
For the Gallys and Dylan/Mitch I'll be thrilled with honestly anything. I have a lot of feelings about Mitch and Brendan, tiny hockey players just trying to make it in the world. All the pining for these two relationships is amazing. I love any an all AUs. I love them trying to figure out their relationship in the NHL (long distance for Mitch and Dylan), I love them being dumb about their feelings and figuring out how they feel about each other. Really, truly, anything will be amazing and great.
Dislikes:
- not much. Like, no watersports, please. Infidelity, and character death are also a no go. Please don't give me a sad ending. Otherwise I'm sure I will love anything.
As I said above, you really can't go wrong with tropes. I love me a good tropey fic. I am also here for trope inversion, so anything you want to take and spin around on its head, I am also 100% here for that. I am here for always a girl fic, if that's your thing. I am a fan of A/B/O, soulmates as I said above (it's a particular fav), but if you just want to write a good old fashion canon fic, I am here for dumb hockey boys being dumb hockey boys.
Pairing specific thoughts:
Alex Galchenyuk/Brendan Gallagher
My two dummies. I love everything about them. I have a soft spot for insecure Brendan Gallagher, so a character study exploring that would hit my id delightfully.
- I have a yearning for a king and lionheart AU for these two. Anything with royalty/knights, etc. Is my jam.
- ALL STAR VACATION FIC. Banging will on vacation and then having to face the reality of hooking up when back in Montreal
- CUTTING EDGE AU. Washed up hockey star Brendan Gallagher and prim and proper figure skater Alex Galchenyuk
- THIS NONSENSE - honestly anything you want to do with that, but sexting the wrong person and leading to accidental phone sex helLO
Mitch Marner/Dylan Strome
My other two dummies (I have so many dummies and I love them all equally).
- future fic, making it work in the NHL. I also imagine them being in love for years and never really acting on it because what are they supposed to do being so far away? So it's just kinda understood that they love each other but nothing can happen with it... until it does.
- telepathically bonded...IN SPACE!
- Regency AU. That Pride and Prejudice feeling
- any and all rivals to lovers
Willie Mitchell/Aaron Ekblad
THERE IS SO LITTLE FIC ABOUT THESE TWO I WILL LITERALLY LOVE ANYTHING. Aaron Ekblad is such a beautiful dummy (you're sensing a theme right about now) and I love him so much. I am also more than happy if you want to include Megan. I am all about the polyamory for these guys. I am also fine if you don't want to include her, so no pressure! But as I said above, please no infidelity so just write her out if that's the case.
I have less specific prompts for this pairing because there's so little fic I'm so desperate for anything. I'd love anything exploring their relationship now that Aaron has moved out of the house, and how that affects their relationship. Or future fic maybe after Willie is retired and figuring out their relationship.
Any of the above prompts for the other two pairings can also be applied to Ekblad/Mitchell if you want. TELEPATHY IN SPACE!!! Regency AU. Ooooh, arranged marriage fic!!! Please. Anything.
ANYWAY you can tell I am excited, and waiting for fic with bated breath. Thank you once again for agreeing to write for me!!
Looking forward to reveals,
