september recs, day twelve: genderswap, hockey edition

[meretricula]

More tropes in hockey fandom! I do love me some genderswap.

Des Plus Brillants Exploits, by twentysomething [Malkin/Crosby]
Girl!Sid and Geno at the Vancouver Olympics. Geno's POV is so sweet and sincere that I feel like it shouldn't work, but it does! And all the Ovechkin cameos are gold. (I know I will get yelled at if I don't mention this caveat -- the descriptions of ice dancing are not correct, but if, like me, you don't know anything about ice dance, I'm guessing it won't bother you much.)

I Don't Think You're Ready, by siegeofangels [Crosby gen]
This is everything I wanted in a gen fic about the possibility of women playing in the NHL. Also, I'm kind of in love with PR Katie.

Shake It, by hapakitsune [Gallagher/Galchenyuk, Prust/Gallagher/Galchenyuk]
The glorious porn you never knew you wanted about Brandon Prust teaching AGally how to get girl!BGally off. I'm serious. It's glorious.

we set our dreams to carry us, by mardia [some gen, some Crosby/Malkin, some Staal/Skinner]
AKA the series where Eric Staal is Erica. Ovi cameos continue to be golden! Predictably, I just really want Erica to rob Jeff's cradle blind.

rule 604(a), by puckling [various]
I think this one is very interesting conceptually; it's a series of micro-fics all written around the theme of contraception.

SORRY NOT SORRY ABOUT ALL THE HOCKEY, GUYS.

If you DO know anything about ice dancing, just... close your eyes and scroll past it. DO NOT READ THOSE BITS, YOU WILL REGRET IT. But the rest of the fic is amazing, so.
