Sometimes what the fic really needs is for you to drive an hour out of town to get the niche ice cream flavour you haven’t been able to find since moving out of Ontario and eat it in the sun. I’ve banged out like 1k words sitting at this picnic table.

Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that’s why I write about Matthew Tkachuk getting railed on company time.

“You should go put on something dry,” Barkov says, and it’s not a command, but the timbre of his voice is so steady and firm that it almost feels like it is.

me: i love this ship because they understand each other on a level no one else does

also me: i love this ship because they misunderstand each other constantly and it’s causing irreparable damage to them and everyone around them

[allthespoons]

ai could simply never create a body of fanfictional work that is so revealing about the author that it borders on humiliating.

Most petty Sid has ever been.

"You could have skated away", the look of disgust from Crosby.

That didnt even cross his mind lol

the last chapter was just soooo good omg! i’m loving the way youre showing Matthew’s vulnerability without making it “too” obvious at the same time, and leon also seeming to realise that their scenes haven’t had a completely successful impact on matthew was such a good ending to the chapter?? both the plot and your writing are really good, thank for all the updates so far, i could yap about your fic for hours probably atp!

Thank you so, so much! This is really lovely to hear! I honestly wasn't sure anyone was going to want to read this when I started posting so the response so far has been amazing.

But also...please come yap with me about it! Literally, there is nothing I love more than yapping. My comments, asks, messages, etc. are always open. I love knowing that people are enjoying my fic and thinking about it between updates. Please know that if I'm posting something, on here or on AO3, I am 100% on board with yapping about it.

I'm really glad you're enjoying (You Never Use) Words You Can't Afford (wow I really should have picked a shorter title)! Thank you for reading and letting me know!
