it's just hard to make a plan — jake oettinger/jason robertson; rated e; 4k tags: 2026 stanley cup playoffs; goalie's room (as a spin on winner's room); unresolved romantic tension but as always they get a little weird with it.
A voice in his head that sounded suspiciously like Robo said what the goalie wants, the goalie gets, right? Jake still wasn’t convinced that was actually true, when you got right down to it, but it was true enough right now.
#hockey rpf#hrpf#rpf talk#z:fic#we got a 40+ save playoff loss you know what that means!!!#i do think about this series a lot actually. which may not sound true given that i missed out on chances for installments last year but!#like i will At Some Point run out of sensical lyrics from daytona sand. first of all. neither of these guys is blond or from mississippi.#& also generally i think about the. resolution? lack thereof?? like will this series ever resolve or can it never resolve until they retire#because there will always be the chance of another 40+ save loss#or like at some point can they have a normal conversation and then just use any future goalie's rooms as chances to fuck boyfriend style#perhaps weird to pose these questions as the author and person in charge but also yk why not peel the curtain back a little here#was going to ask if calling out the lack of resolution was a spoiler but remembered i TAGGED for it. love when i think things through.
