The summer after they win the Cup, Jon stops by Buffalo to see Pat. Followed by Unsteady on the first go round and Salt Skin.
Honestly, there are things I love about these fics and things I hate. They hit some of my intimacy kinks really hard, but they’re also way too sentimental for my taste. The series is also crying out for at least oe more installment, with some fairly important future developments left hanging.
Still a good read, though!

College AU. Patrick and Jonathan are friends, but only because they have friends in common, not because they actively like each other. Patrick is a student trying to commit to a major, happy to just spend life in peace, and Jonathan is on the hockey team, fighting to get his big break but not missing out on any parties in the progress. A seemingly meaningless kiss begins the slow unravel of their denial, helped along by Jonathan’s teammates and Patrick’s Spanish roommate.
A bit sappier than I prefer, but I really loved some of the supporting characters, especially David. I enjoyed Kane and Toews in this one, too.
Short sequels are It Makes an Ass of U And Me and Making Summer Plans.
The stories behind the five pictures Patrick Kane would die of embarrassment if they ever leaked online, and the one picture that did get leaked.
Cute, rather touching story, especially Pat’s relationships with his sisters and with Sharpie. I wish it had been beta-read, because there are a few POV issues, but not enough to spoil the story for me.
If Eric Staal is going to hit on him, Jeff is going to hit on him back.
This is actually the prequel to a Skinner/Staal mpreg chatfic, but it can also stand alone.
Katarin: it would be HILARIOUS if Sharpy had a road trip pass from Abby to bone Kaner. And they buddyfucked on the road and Johnny found out and LOST. HIS. SHIT. and was insanely jealous.
There’s even more awesome and hikarious stuff in the comments, so definitely read them.
Jeff turns into a kitten. Very cute, but definitely chatfic, so don’t read if you’re not into that.

Patrick wipes at his mouth, glaring. “You’re doing a pretty shitty job at the whole soulmate thing so far, I just want you to know that. Sincerely, from me to you, and all that.”
In which Patrick and Johnny soulbond at the World Juniors in 2007.
I have a huge weakness for soulbonding fics, when they’re done right, and liketheroad has done it perfectly in this story. My only wish is that it was much, much longer, because I want to see lots of more of this Jon and Patrick together. Liketheroad has written some other great Kane/Toews fic, but this is my number one favourite of her stories, and it’s among my favourites in the fandom. Don’t miss it!
(Also, there’s a point near the end where Patrick comments that if they’d done things differently, they would have screwed things up even more–to which my immediate reaction was: I want to read that fic, too. I only wish it existed.)

Taylor Hall doesn’t think a destroyed slice of chocolate cake, a broken bed and his line-mates wearing his clothes necessarily means anything. The rest of the team don’t agree.
“Um, out of context this looks really bad,” Nuge says. “Like, this looks post-orgy bad.”
Around the third post-game interview in a row that Jonny brings Patrick up for absolutely no reason but his own, Patrick realizes Tazer’s in full-on, gay-ass love with him.
In which much ado is made about possibly innocuous line-changes, boys are dumb, and Jonathan Toews attempts to woo Patrick Kane via signed copies of Twilight.
