Review:
A second great fic to come out of the hockeyrarepairs challenge and probably my personal favorite. As much as the first rec is fluffy and fun this one is darker but oh so wonderful. Brodeur and Roy had an intense rivalry fueled by two dynamic and competitive personalities. The author does an absolutely fantastic job with both of their personalities and the tension between the two is just absolutely palpable. The story is non-linear, which I’m not normally a fan of, but it works wonderfully here. I love the way this builds until the end. Even if you’re not familiar with Brodeur and Roy this story is so worth the read.

While I only highlighted two personal faves today, there were many other great fics posted as part of the hockeyrarepairs challenge. A portion of them were cross posted to AO3 but many were not. If at all interested I recommend you join the community to read some of the others not posted publicly.
