My utmost favourite thing is when people write fics and AUs about things they are passionate about, because the love is shown in every little moment. This hockey AU is absolutely one of these sorts of fics -- the author’s knowledge and love of hockey is in every line. The passage quoted demonstrates little quirks about hockey culture that make this fic really come alive. If you like JJbek and/or ice hockey, you’ll love this AU!
