Navigating the Ocean Floor of Hockey RPF
The people yearn for fanfic rec lists like those of the long old days of livejournal. By people, I mean me, so here it is. IF YOU DON'T LIKE FANFICTION OR RPF PLEASE LEAVE NOW.
Format will be as follows: Title (link embedded) by author// rating (using AO3 guidelines) // Status of work: complete, WIP, oneshot, etc. // summary
I'm biased so this will be very much focused on one pairing & one team. In no particular order of how good the fics are:
