I wrote about the narrative importance of the sex scenes in Heated Rivalry, how this reflects the magic of romance novel storytelling, and how the plot is fuelled by a genuinely bleak view of homophobia in hockey culture.

With Hockey RPF the fanfic was for the romance and the sex, the things canon didn't provide. But in Heated Rivalry canon does provide. So logic dictates that the fanfic is there to make them actually play hockey.

This has to be one of the worst magazine covers I've seen in the history of humanity.
Fucking incredible dystopian shit, comparing super rich people risking millions if not billions of lives just to make more money to people that risked their life actually building incredible things that would then make millions of dollars for super rich people.

Because I have no chill (am an anxious control freak) I make backup plans in my head for most errands
And when the errand goes perfectly fine with plan A, I'm left with all these extra plans for nothing
Relax bro, it's done, you can scrap it from the mental to-do list
