Hockey RPS: An Exchange of Fire; Kevin Bieksa/Sami Salo; R/borderline NC-17

HAPPY BIRTHDAY cloverli. Well, okay, I'm a few hours early, but I'll probably not have any time to post it tomorrow, so you get it now.

Er ... not too sure where this came from, but uh ... yeah, it's Bieksa/Salo, which is all the explanation needed, I suppose.

Oh, bb ... I don't really have any words for how ... gah ... this is just so wonderful. The urgency, the self-exploration, the wanting, the denial, the ... guh. I felt like I was right there with Kevin the whole time.

Thank you! So glad you liked it.

(thank you LJ, thank you for finally working!)

I had a pretty awesome reply that died when I tried to send it. But I think the gist of it was "I have no coherent thoughts" and "can I marry it?"

"And, oh God, can you really want two people?"

I loved this line! That whole section (and I love how you section things in your writing, it flows so well!) has that "urgency" that blueabsinthe mentioned. And from Kevin's view ohmygod throwing myself all over this-!

This is fantastic thank you ah jeez I don't have enough great things to say ;3;

[quenchmysoul]

Haha ... you can marry it if you want :) I'm not going to object.

The second person narrative worked really well for me here. This entire fic felt very intimate to me, and very quiet? if that makes any sense at all. And again, the few words of dialogue said everything it needed. : )

Thanks! I get what you mean about it being quiet. Kind of like Salo. Well, at least I think so :)

[quenchmysoul]

Thank you! Glad you liked it.

Okay I know I didn't comment on it before, but that doesn't mean that I haven't read it like a thousand times and fallen in love with this pairing because of you! This is just beautiful <3

[quenchmysoul]

Thanks so much!

Salo's my second favourite Canucks defenseman (Ohlund will always be my number one!). I'm so glad you liked this, and that you like the Salo/Bieksa pairing now :)
