A cover! A preorder link!!

Look at it isn't it so beautiful 🥹😭

As keen eyes may have noticed, there’s also a release date up there (March 16th!). We also now have:

Teammates to Lovers by Jenny Linsky: 9798217378425 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books

A professional hockey player falls headfirst into fanfiction—and ends up shipping himself with his captain—in this addictive friends-to-fanf

That's right, a preorder link! Should your heart desire, you can buy it right this very moment.

(The PRH site actually has links to a bunch of different vendors; some of them won't be live until closer to the date, but you should have plenty to choose from. You can also preorder through your local indie bookstore.)

When NHL star forward Will Burns gets sent a fic about him and his best friend (and team captain), he laughs it off. It’s a joke. It has to be. But one late-night scroll turns into another…and another—and suddenly Will’s a little too invested. Because the fic gets a few things right.

I’ve said it before, but this novel feels so much like one of my fics to me. It has the same prolonged sense of yearning that I’ve struggled to capture in previous attempts at original fiction but that came so easily as soon as I tried writing in the romance genre. The difference is that I've spent way more time polishing this one, and it's probably better than anything I've managed to post on ao3 (or at least it had better be at this point 😅). I love this book to pieces and I hope you'll read and enjoy it!!

this would happen to connor bedard

[joss-the-boss]

pls tell me why the most homosexual nhl commercial was not any of the ones with sidnate gazing at each other, nor was it the one with 819 canonically being each other’s life insurance dependents, but it was actually the one where kazer picked up three women at brunch but wouldn’t even look at them bc they were too busy giggling and sending gay little messages to each other.

[jonny-toews]

well now i'm interested in this fic outline 👀 ...please i really need a pick me up

it's a soulmate au that i mentioned weeks ago here!

i tweaked the premise a little bit so i don't want to give too much away i think but basically: 1988 soulmates au where jonny's dealing with stomach cramps and fatigue for pretty much his entire career. it's totally just a physical health thing! not at all related to a soulbond!!! he can deal with it by just eating better and sleeping more and meditating a little! there's no way the teammate he occassionally sleeps with has anything to do with that!!

i'm like 9k into their rookie season, they haven't even kissed yet and i fear it is time to try to structure my thoughts. i know what has to happen but how will it happen is a mystery to me!!

[jonny-toews]

just hit the 20k mark and i barely even finished rookie year. what have i gotten myself into

who spends more time in the bathroom? a number three pick or a number one pick overall?

1) Holy shit that is the most hair I’ve ever seen on him. Ringlets galore!

2) The sideways grin on his BABY FACE is so strange and cute.

3) Sometimes I don’t think fandom quite gets Jonny’s voice right, but that “LET’S GO KANER” is right in line with it.

4) Aghsjdfjhsdfhks that last line. 

5). I have never seen this video where is it.

6) “we have our fun in the room”

[fannishtalk]

Link to where they had fun in the locked bathroom together too, while Sharpy and Bur played a trick on Toews.

hawkeytime: we have our fun in the roomuh huhlike that time you were in the bathroomTOGETHER

captainfantoewstic:   #i really do wonder why they were both in the bathroom together lol  

sheercompulsion:  #tell us more about the fun you have in the room kaner #and your weird bathroom habits that facilitated all those pranks #does jonny get impatient enough to join in with your weird bathroom habits #i need to know

tictactoews:  what kind of fun?, the kind when you don’t notice sharpy getting in and stealing your bags, because you’re both too busy in the bathroom?, TOGETHER?,also YOUR FACE,

My theory has always been that Kaner distracted Toews in the bathroom in exchange for his own stuff not being touched - but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t fun.  Also, Toews probably knew about the deal, but was allowing Kaner to distract him because it would make Sharpy and Bur happy to get a prank in, and you know, Kaner is very good at distracting him.  Worth it.
