Oh no, what happened?
The people who owned the condo we’re currently renting got foreclosed on. We’re not being evicted or anything - legally, the bank has to honor our lease - but the bank is offering us money to move elsewhere ASAP. We found a place that was almost perfect, even had a yard for the dogs, but I guess we weren’t the best applicants; we didn’t get it. So now we’re back to square one and the payoff the bank is offering is going to drop by A LOT very soon. So. It’s not super good. But hey - worst case scenario we stay here, I guess.
will you tell me about your fiiiiiiic? eg did i miss that it's about k/t as hIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEARTS? (i wasn't around during any initial talks about it! :))
k/t were high school (and college) sweethearts but our fic is not that time of their lives. in our fic they’re old marrieds, with 6 year-old identical twin boys and a little girl who is a 18 months. the fic is intended to mirror the ‘love actually’ plot with emma thompson and alan rickman where he buys a gift for his secretary that emma thought was for her. when she realizes it’s for him, she’s devastated. so it’s emotional cheating, not actual cheating. and that’s where the meat of our fic takes off.
then we threw in every trope we could and tons of angst and 130K later we’re not quite done writing. and already thinking about our next fic. i blame katie/frosting50.
i’m looking forward to seeing what people think - it shouldn’t too much longer until we post!

i mean, it stems from how my actual ultimate shippy trope is "this person i love just unexpectedly broke up with me and i am devastated". i live for that shit. break-up/(so very optional) make-up trope is best trope. so kent/jack is just feeding into it.
Nnnnnn, that's pretty much my least favorite trope and a big ol' squick for me, so we're gonna have to agree to disagree on this one, friend. :p

NOPE, parse/jack fit into my beloved 'exes meeting again years later' angsty trope obsession. nothing can compaaaaaare. i am heartbroken there's only 5 fics for them on ao3, i need like 100 more.
Ahhhh, I see! Sadly, that dynamic does nothing for me. My ultimate shippy trope is 'we're nothing alike, complete opposites, yep, except we kind of get along and we're kind of really similar deep down and wow, yeah, it turns out we mesh perfectly'. Hence the Jack/Bitty. Forevvvvvs.
I'm very glad that people are reading the Sammy Kane chatfics in the spirit in which they are intended - i.e., to cause you physical pain, etc. THANKS ALL.

I'm glad you mentioned this fic, because I'd somehow missed it. :)
I suspected a few people had 'cause I'd get blank expressions (or the gchat equivalent) whenever I brought it up, ha.

MAKING SUCH A FACE RIGHT NOW and some very quiet wounded moose noises
Ninjaboots informed me that this is an excellent Canadian compliment (which I suspected.) I am pleased to see you had the desired response.

I can't handle how cute this is. I want more :)
Thank youuuu. There are many more chatfic options - currently debating on cleaning up how (a newly pregnant yay) Kaner gets stuck at the top of a ferris wheel with a very talkative (we're all shocked) Sammy Kane and a very put-upon Lena Crosby who really would just like to talk hockey with Patrick Kane omg, or how Sammy Kane forms a business partnership with his United Center seatmate, Rocky Wirtz. We'll get there.
My heart hurts, a) as a parent b) as a fan of sam and c) at the thought of poor Kaner and Jonny. OMG. But A++++
I knowwww; they lost their BABY. Poor Kaner pawing through bushes.
