About a month ago, 7iris and I were talking about this picture of Richie and Jeff and how it was giving us every single feeling in the human experience. This somehow led to me writing 2k words about Richie and Jeff working it out. This has been cleaned up quite a bit but there are still some remnants of our chat at the beginning.
EVERYONE NEEDS CARTS/RICHIE FEELS ON A SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

OHHHH MY GOD? (I guess Rutherford saw that video (nsfw-ish) over the summer?)
This is obvs the new copy for Beau’s page in the catalog, less about his youth and prettiness and more about his physique. The photos are shot to emphasize the new muscle definition, those sharp tan lines. And now that Robert’s been sold, they probably want to see Beau top for a change.
thelifeofeachofus replied to your post “omg I saw this prompt and totally thought of your writing” and said:
If you’d like to expand on Tyler and Jamie or Eks/Mitchells, I would certainly being willing to hear more.
I’m cheating a little, because some asked for Tyler/Jamie + #28. Voyeurism and/or exhibitionism, and I was kind of thinking about that when I wrote that kissing meta/snippety thing.
In retrospect, it’s unbelievably obvious. But when Jamie first meets Tyler, he thinks he really only wants Tyler to like him because Tyler’s a cool guy, a great hockey player. He and Jamie are going to be the face of the franchise for the next ten years – if they’re lucky - -and it would suck if they weren’t friends, too.

34. Rope bondage marks (Jason Demers/Adam Burish)
________
Adam hugs him when he gets traded, his hand gripping the back of Jason’s neck.
“You’re gonna be great in Dallas,” he says. “They’re great guys and they’re lucky to have you.”
Jason’s face goes hot and he nods, words getting stuck in his throat.
Adam gets sent down the same day. It’s kind of a shitty day.

dom!Richie and switch!Carts in Philly. Mike doesn’t really care that Jeff picks up doms instead of subs sometimes (except being kind of pleased that he’s one of the few people that Jeff has told the truth to). He can tell whether Jeff has hooked up with a dom or a sub. He’s smug and cheerful and full of energy after he goes home with a sub, but looser, softer after he’s been with a dom, coming home with heavy eyes and new bruises (but just as smug and pleased).It always causes a weird little stutter in Mike’s heartbeat when he sees him like that. They pick up a sub together every now and then, and if Mike sometimes thinks about putting Jeff on his knees, too, well, it’s just because doms are bad at sharing.
When Jeff gets traded to LA, he’s worried that Richie doesn’t understand how lucky they are, how good they have to be so this doesn’t happen again. So he quietly starts doing all this traditional sub stuff to keep Mike grounded and happy, so neither of them slip back into the patterns of bad behavior in Philly. Cooking dinner instead of going out, asking Mike to pick out what they’re going to watch on tv or what tie he should wear to the game, letting Mike fuss over his bruises and ice his foot. Mike’s so used to thinking of Jeff as another dom that he kind of doesn’t notice, doesn’t make the connection between how Jeff is acting and how much calmer and happier he feels. It’s only when they get to the intensity of the playoff push that Mike realizes he hasn’t hooked up in a while. “Come out with us,” Justin says, after practice. “Get laid, get yourself centered.” Mike thinks maybe he should, but the idea isn’t as appealing as it would have been once. Jeff looks up from tying his shoe, his face unreadable. Mike hesitates, and Jeff looks down again. Mike’s eyes catch on the skin of Jeff’s bared neck, and he knows exactly what he wants.
How much did this season suck for dom!Richie, who always has to be in control, to have his body start to betray him like that? He trained so hard over the summer, he works so hard during the season, does everything Sutter asks, and still the goals don’t come. He gets sent down, then brought back for more training and tests. He gets put in, he gets scratched. He does everything he can, but he’s not the one in control of his fate anymore. (He breaks up with Jeff when he gets sent down. He’s been thinking about it ever since the trade rumors started. “You asshole,” Jeff says, almost amazed. “I’m not doing that long-distance bullshit,” Mike says. His stomach is a sick, sour knot, and he can tell himself it’s better for Jeff anyway, it’s always harder on the subs. So what if he always feels unsettled and off-balance in Manch? It’s just the change of scenery.)
BUT ALSO: surly sub!Richie and laidback, easy-going dom!Carts. And all of the above plotlines.
thelifeofeachofus asked:
I’ll be honest, Hallsy and Ebs and their ice cream dates have ruined me. Now anytime someone even mentions, say, going to Dairy Queen with a teammate, I think they should bang.
So YES of course they start going to Dairy Queen after games. Jordie tries to play it off like a superstition thing, like the white boy dancing thing, but they both know it’s just because they like hanging out together.
And obvs, this ties into Jason’s New Year’s Resolution to fall in love. He’s always telling Jordie about the dates he’s going on, how none of them seem to really work out. (He fucks up the pronouns once with Jordie, and his heart almost stops, but Jordie doesn’t even blink, doesn’t even act like he noticed. Jordie hugs him goodbye a little harder than usual, though.)
It takes him a while to realize that none of the people he’s dated have made him laugh like Jordie does. None of them know what it’s like to be skipped over in the draft when you’re 18, 19, none of them know how hard you work every day to prove yourself, to prove you belong in the NHL. (None of them have shoulders like Jordie, fuuuuck.)
Jason kisses him in the parking lot of the Dairy Queen, after the game where they’re mathematically eliminated. Jordie’s mouth is cool and sweet, and he kisses back like he’s been waiting this whole time.
thelifeofeachofus asked:
It starts before training camp, but no one really recognizes what’s going on. People don’t know each other for years, see each other every day, and just suddenly bond out of nowhere. If it was going to happen, Sid would have guessed that first year they played together, or after they won the Cup.
Instead, Sid wakes up a couple of days before camp starts and feels a twinge in his knee.

Carts/Richie (because Richie had better be grateful Lombardi is a big believer in second chances)
November 28, 2013
Brownie has everyone over to his house for Thanksgiving. It’s not real Thanksgiving, of course, but Jeff likes it anyway. Good food, hanging out with the guys and their families, what’s not to like?
bropunzeling asked:
The thing is, up until that moment, Tyler had been totally on board with the “keep things casual” plan.
They hooked up for the first time right after they clinched a playoff spot, drunk on adrenaline and vindication more than from the celebratory beers with the guys. The morning after, Jamie had been as blushy and tongue-tied as when Tyler first got to Dallas.
Tyler stretched against the messy sheets and nudged Jamie’s ankle with his foot. “It’s not a big deal,” he said. “It’s just buddies.”
Jamie snorted, but his face relaxed. He gave Tyler a quick, relieved grin. “Okay,” he said.
“Okay,” Tyler said, and that was that.
thelifeofeachofus replied to your post “Can you tell me more about Sid, Jamie, Jamie’s praise kink, and…”
I appreciate how you gave blowjobs to everyone.
That’s the motto of this blog, really: BLOWJOBS FOR EVERYONE.
