nico hischer/jack hughes (devils) | 28k | mature

Quinn’s whole thing is talking to the dead, but Jack’s gift is dealing with the living.

rec comments: The world building in this fic was so good. I really enjoyed the Jack/Quinn dynamic and how obvious it is that they care about each other (really felt like a well written siblings relationship) and I love how we got Jack with his flaws motivated by his needs (like how the fact they really need money clouds his judgment and stuff) and also the development of his relationship with Nico. I don’t often read fics related to the supernatural world but if you don’t do it either, I think this one is a must. - @macknnons

Roseanne Supernault and Tantoo Cardinal in Maïna

[doesthendnlive]

Maïna (Roseanne Supernault) from Maïna (2013) dir. Michel Poulette

DOES THE NDN LIVE? : YES

---

ADDITIONAL NOTES Although she survives the film, she is kidnapped and raped early on and falls in love with her captor. However, the film handles this subjects respectfully without glorifying or eroticizing her situation. She is allowed to be a very complex and interesting character as she tries to make sense of her new way of life.

jamie drysdale/trevor zegras (ducks) | 7,3k | teen and up

"Aha! Here we go, top ten things to do in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Number one…shit.” Trevor deflates. “Number one, attend a hockey game.”

Jamie bursts out laughing.

Or: 31 times they tried to be tourists and 1 time they remembered that they live next to Disneyland.

rec comments: This was so cute!! Like, you don’t think you need this amount of fluff in your life but yes, you absolutly do, I promise. Love the concept, oblivious Trevor, the dialogues. Adorable. - @macknnons

Just say you’re hurt, We’ll face the worst by TheWiseOne12

quinn hughes/matthew tkachuk (canucks/flames) | 7k | general audiences

Waiting in the ER to be seen by a doctor isn't exactly where Quinn wants to be, especially on Christmas Eve. He finds that doesn't mind quite so much when a cute guy takes the seat opposite him.

rec comments: Honestly a very feel good fic. A good meet-cute and Quinn ending up spending Christmas holidays at the Tkachuk house. Some hurt/comfort, some fluff, some cuddles, some teasing siblings. Always a good mix. - @macknnons

matty beniers/brendan brisson (kraken/golden knights) | 2,3k | mature

Outside, the music is a steady booming thump, low bass leaking through the screen door. Matty’s kicked back on one of the deck chairs, a can of beer loose in his fingers, out on the porch alone.

rec comments: i truly cannot wait until we get more briss in rpf but until then i will just savor any little bits we do get. and if you’ve never seen the picture in the header there’s a link to it in the fic summary and its a treat so i suggest checking it out. anyways, this is short and sweet and i loved it - @pattyrosyteeks​

The mentionned pic alone should warrant tons of fics for them. Loved both of them in this and the whole mood around them. What they have, what’s coming but not easy to thing about because a little sad maybe, you know, sweet. - @macknnons

Heaven Coming Down by queenie_writes

nico hischier/jack hughes (devils) | 20k | mature

Nico's had knee surgery and Jack got dumped. The offseason is starting out exactly how their season went, that is to say, shitty. Nico's trying his best not to be a downer while Jack makes it his mission to turn their summer around and make it better for the both of them. A quick roadie to Boston for an impromptu baseball game and some edibles might liven things up.

rec comments: Look, I just can't understand how there aren't more Jack/Nico fics considering all the fucking parallels and like, look at them. Anyway. Overall very cute fic with your healthy dose of hurt/comfort, pining, confusing feelings that get sorted out. Kudos to Nolan which presence as a side character was very nice and worked well. - @macknnons
