any alex debrincat/dylan strome fic recs? i want to get into this pairing more :) i read all kinds of tropes, but a/b/o dynamics are my favorite
hello darling! stromecat is an excellent pairing to get into, 100% recommend!! these are four of my fave stromecat fics and, in general, the four i would recommend as a precursor to the pairing! :)
Race Like Falcons to Crash and Burn by Linsky is a deliciously long (roughly 75k) a/b/o story set in the (equally amazing) wolfverse series, but it can be read as a standalone! (i think it's also one of the longest stromecat stories on ao3? maybe?)
It’s okay to be a wolf in the NHL now. That’s what everyone tells Dylan, anyway.
soft, softer, softly by heartstrings is also an a/b/o story that's essentially 12k of "jonny and patrick teach dylan how to alpha" because:
Dylan Strome is a late bloomer.
You Can Hear It in the Silence by Linsky (anything by linksy is phenomenal tbh) which comes in at just over 17k and is a rite of passage, fake marriage fic every ship ever needs. oh, and they're still hockey players
Dylan can argue all he wants, but Alex is pretty sure it will work.
never not by stonesnuggler is a (spoiler!) getting back together fic post-yotes-hawks trade, following dyls as he becomes a hawk and deals with being around and on the same team as his ex
“Matty, I gotta go,” he says, taking his XBox microphone off mute, attention going back to the duos game he’s playing with his brother. He’s still laughing a little when Matt pauses the game.
“Loser,” Matt says. “Why?”
“Because I’ll probably be on a plane to Chicago first thing tomorrow morning,” Dylan says, without preamble.
Matt pauses and something drops in the background of the audio. “Woah, wait. Did you just--”
“That was Chayka,” Dylan confirms, shaking his head a little. “I’m a Blackhawk.”
“Holy shit,” Matt says, and Dylan can almost hear the realization click in Matt’s head. “Think he knows yet?”
Dylan sighs. “He will in a second.”
