yes, I watched hockey instead of the Superbowl

Feb 06, 2012 04:06

Yesterday I decided that researching and writing a whole 1500-word fic in less than 24 hours was enough of a happy thing to go with for the little informal meme I'm doing this month. Today, I give you a recent example of one of my favorite things, defense pairs being Weird About Each Other ( Read more... )

ryan suter, nashville predators, hockey, shea weber

:D

Best friends pairings are hard to resist!

Awww. They are adorbs.

Two seconds after the game last night, my Facebook page was littered with "GO BRUINS" and "I LOVE HOCKEY" comments from people who are like, so over football already. :)

They really, really are.

Oh people, so fickle. *g*

THEY'RE SO MARRIED. NEITHER OF THEM IS ALLOWED TO LEAVE NASHVILLE BECAUSE THEY ARE MARRIED AND IT WOULD BE SAD.

ALSO: GO PREDS, BLACKHAWKS SUCK, ETC. :P

athenejen February 7 2012, 04:16:14 UTC

SO married. It would totally be sad... but it would be good for the rest of the Western Conference. But sad.

W/E, W/E, MAYBE SOMEDAY THE PREDS'LL MAKE IT PAST ROUND 2.

solidland February 7 2012, 06:57:40 UTC

W/E W/E NOT IF THEY FACE THE CANUCKS AGAIN, WE'VE GOT THEIR NUMBER.

BUT THEY'D DEFINITELY BEAT YOU GUYS. :D

athenejen February 7 2012, 07:47:37 UTC

PFFT THEY COULD TRY. BUT YOU KNOW THE HAWKS ALWAYS GET IT UP FOR THE PLAYOFFS.

They've beat you at least once this year. Just sayin'. *g*

I feel bad for how much I want/need Suter to leave Nashville after this year, because I really do ship it really hard. There's an adorable Christmas video of Weber and Suter with one of the charities the Preds partner with. They're messing around with some kids, handing out presents and teaching them how to skate. They look super adorable while surrounded by kids and kinda like a married couple that's adopted. I'll dig it up for you when i'm not on my phone.

Sometimes I will randomly go on and on about how I bet they have the mostly dudely, manly make-outs ever. Cause they're both super dudely and would probs score high on the beerability scale.

So yes, while I need Suter to leave so Weber is like 40% less effective while having to shoulder the load on his own, I wouldn't turn down fic about American Hero, Ryan Suter comforting Shea Weber when Canada is horribly embarrassed by America in the Socchi Olympics, sexually.

Also! Weber's response to Suter announcing he wouldn't extend before the trade deadline had me losing my mind in a car between Chicago and Champaign-Urbana. Because Weber being all "we've talked about that and I'm happy for him that he got that off his chest" had me absolutely terrified that they'd talked about going somewhere together and when I looked only Edmonton had the roster/cap space and the idea of Edmonton w/the Weber and Suter infuriated me.

athenejen February 7 2012, 04:52:23 UTC

Okay, the idea of the two of them talking about going somewhere else together is almost unbearably cute, but seriously, seriously scary. If they went somewhere with consistently lethal offense (or potentially so, like Edmonton)? Jesus.

I kind of enjoy the fic possibilities of all the potential pining that could come from them being split up, but I have a feeling that I'd be super sad for them if it were to happen. They just seem so HAPPY together! And so matter-of-fact about how happy they are together, like, no big deal, we're just two dudes who hang out all the time and have great chemistry and support each other and talk things through and complement each other well.

So, what kinds of scenarios are you thinking? Maybe slightly drunken post-Call-of-Duty frottage...? 'Cause they're super dudely, I agree, but more the low-key, decent, secret-squishy-center type than the fratboys who jerk off to porn together type.

Oh man, that video sounds AMAZING. Hockey players w/ kids is just unfair.

just_katarin February 7 2012, 05:29:53 UTC

They talked and decided to throw a party for disadvantaged youth. HORRIFICALLY UNFAIR.

Yeah, no, they're not Carts and Ritchie, no way they jerk off to porn together. I can totes see Weber overworking himself in practice and his shoulders feeling super tight as a result and they're hanging out to watch a movie or play video games or something, after grilling or something and Suter offers to rub it down, to loosen him up. Only it sort of turns into them groping each other and making out on the couch and them being all "whoa" but not in a way where they want to stop.

IF WEBER AND SUTER HAVE TALKED AND DECIDE TO GO SOMEWHERE TOGETHER AND THAT PLACE IS IN THE WESTERN CONFERENCE I WILL SCREAM. BECAUSE IT ISN'T FAIR FOR SOMETHING I'VE BEEN SHIPPING ON THE BACKBURNER FOR THIS LONG TO DO SOMETHING THAT AMAZINGLY SHIPPY AND FOR IT TO COMPLETELY FUCK MY TEAM. It's why I want them to be broken up. I want them out of the fucking Central Division.
