I wish this writer's beta had done a better job with spelling and grammar and noticing missing words, but I didn't notice until I re-read. On the positive side, this is a rare pair (Tavares/Strome) that I hadn't thought of and I was definitely sold on the pairing. First of many?

I really liked this one, it was probably one of my favorite fics to come out of the exchange. I read it twice once the fics went live and then another time yesterday, but I didn't notice any typos, but that's probably because, like I said, I enjoyed it so much.

It definitely sold me on the pairing, I hope there's more fic about them in the future!

l liked this despite finding the whole raving bit kind of dorky.

I liked it too but found the raving bit...confusing because the A/N said that they were trying to write RStrome in a particular way that the author wanted, and knowing nothing about him irl, "kid who likes raves" seems like a weird characterization to specifically want? Unless he really does like them irl and fandom has just been ignoring that factor of his personality, but I guess I just didn't quite get the appeal. But it probably is because I don't know enough about him irl to get what the author was trying to do and what the recipient was looking for.

*in a particular way that the RECIPIENT wanted*

Recipient had a dear author letter explicitly requesting no incest, so might have been as simple as wanting to see RStrome written as literally anything other than "creepy-ass dom who is fucking his brother" tbh.

ayrt
that makes sense, I didn't see the letter so I didn't know if the raver thing was a request or an author choice.

Quick look at his instagram seems like he is more of a bro music and bar hopping type of guy.

I remember reading a story before the flood of Stromecest where Ryan was, like, playing the typical "I'm your big brother and you're stupid" role, except he was also randomly (?) really into coke. So I'm starting to wonder if it's a common rumor in a different circle than I frequent.

I'm pretty sure all hockey players being into coke is a common rumor. An NHL player's drug of choice is cocaine seems to just be accepted fact in most hockey forums.

I really thought the sex scene read like Tavares was on E and I thought it was going to a dub-con/non-con place, but then he was just kind of an asshole, so ehhhh. I did think the idea of Strome as a raver was kind of ... dorky? Sweet? A combo of the two?
