dear writer,

thank you for writing me fic! i'm sure i'll love it regardless of what you do, because you're making me a thing and that's really great! also i like a whole bunch of different things, see: my bookmarks.

i also have a more general letter i reuse for exchanges with likes and Do Not Wants and AUs and all that jazz. i don't mind receiving anything categorised as a Please Warn For, i would just rly appreciate a heads up before going in.

now for some thoughts on the ships i requested! i am always a slut for team ensemble gen and/or polycules and/or background relationships, so if that is where your heart lies PLEASE gimme all of that.

nico hischier/travis konecny/nolan patrick
-tk and nico hooked up at the asg and facetimed nolan about it, change my mind (this is just a statement of truth do not feel like you have to write it)
-love a straightforward triad or a V but also LOVE a complicated polyam setup. LOVE relationship negotiation
-established nico/nolan and tk/nolan, travis and nico bond/conflict over the differences in their relationship with nolan
-travis and nico start dating and nolan absolutely isn't jealous of both of them
-tk is trying to help nolan get with nico while pining and nico is trying to help nolan get with tk while pining
-tk&nolan are fuckbuddies, and tk assumes it'll stop when nolan starts dating nico, but nolan keeps hooking up with him and nico's cool with it so maybe not??

mat barzal/travis konecny
-asg shenanigans (tell me everything. or don't. whatever you're feeling)
-but also it just makes so much SENSE. they're both chatty handsy dramatic giggly weirdos who love The Boys
-mat has slutty summer holiday hangs with dante fabbro and tyson jost and i'm just saying it could be fun/agonising if mat invited tk out this summer.
-long-distance friendship/flirtationship/fuckbuddyship/relationship
-anything social media related. the mortifying ordeal of maintaining a snap streak. accidental(?) thirst trap selfies.
-sex bets.
-feel free to include as much or as little as you'd like about the isles. outside of mat i am mostly indifferent to them, though i am very charmed by tito.
-which: tk and mat bonding(/boning) over having unrequited feelings for their best friends. i'd still want it to be mat/travis endgame even if those feelings turn out to actually be mutual

ivan provorov/nolan patrick
-they knew each other as BABIES on the wheat kings?? they won a cup together????
-provy beaming in the pictures of nolan at practices: deeply hurtful to me personally.
-they're pining?? nolan thinks provy is too beautiful and not-gremliny for him and provy thinks nolan and tk are dating and is determinedly not jealous??
-(alternatively: nolan and tk ARE dating and tk keeps telling nolan that provy is into him but nolan thinks tk's full of shit) (he isn't wrong) (provy is just also into him)
-break up/make up where they had a thing in juniors and they're both telling themselves they're fine being friends and teammates now but they also definitely have Feelings
-one of my favourite favourite things is people taking care of each other. do with that what you will.

travis konecny/nolan patrick
-they're in love?? they're in love.
-would also extremely be up for queerplatonic tk/nolan
-literally anything oh my god they have ruined my life
-imagine them having to fake date each other. i might actually explode and so would they
-patty knows travis is into him, but travis isn't weird about it, so patty doesn't mind. he's definitely not obsessed with it. he just wonders, hypothetically, if tk would ever kiss him, how far nolan, hypothetically, would have to push.
-t e n d e r n e s s
-we have explored the toews thing, but have we explored the toews thing enough. in this essay i will

claude giroux/carter hart
-"you're not fucking mike smith out here" murder me
-claude giroux, overgrown child in charge of a team of children, only the responsible one by comparison. smirky angel-faced franchise-saviour venom-mask-wearing certer hert. chaos??? chaos.
-i am rly not about power differentials in general BUT if you wanted i would enjoy acknowledging the inherent power imbalance + then totally subverting it. g is a bratty sub and you cannot change my mind
-if you wanted to take a veteran/rookie trope and subvert it that'd be ace. if you wanted to write them as just another two players that'd be ace
-wacky hijinks. the flyers getting up to various nonsense with g and carter at the centre of it would absolutely thrill me.
-goalie nesting!!! there is never enough of this.
-i'm usually uncomfy with non-famous significant others as major characters HOWEVER i could definitely be here for claude and ryanne still being married and that being part of the fic. open marriages! polyamory! just no romantic and/or sexual ryanne/carter pls
