I know it's a different sport, but I feel like baseball had the absolute market on that, if you're interested at all.

ayrt

Honestly not my sport at all (in that I don't know the rules...), but I'm still interested if you have any recs or names handy?

Another anon posted these a while ago, but it's a good place to start: http://dekedangle-rpfanon.dreamwidth.org/2917.html?thread=12035429#cmt12035429

Basically, candlebeck, americanleaguer and synchronik are good places to start. Sophiahelix, who writes hockey as well, has written some good stuff too.

ayrt

Thanks! *rubs hands* Good thing that tomorrow is a holiday here, lol.

da

Have fun. http://archiveofourown.org/users/candle_beck/pseuds/candle_beck/works?fandom_id=26538

I feel like we should send this deker tissues or something.

I think so too. They're gonna need them.

Thank you! I will if there's angst. ;)

My sweet summer child ...

This isn't my first rodeo!

Candle-beck is next-level angst is just what I meant, :D. But now I want angsty rodeo AU fic ...

... This just makes me more excited, lol.

What would an angsty rodeo fic look like, I wonder...

Brokeback Mountain???

No, no, an angsty rodeo fic would involve a lot more bull riding.

IDK, but I def want Kuznetsov in it. Angsty Russian rodeo fic!

ayrt

Kuzy's apparent obsession with saying that was definitely the reason for my word choice so yes imo!

da <3s Kuzy so much

Angsty rodeo fic with Kuzy and his many father figures? Yesssss pleassssse. I read an article about the rodeo circuit not too long ago that focused on the human suffering and drive to get on giant bulls specifically bred to be huge and murderous and man there is a lot to work with.

You could have the Russian Machine, known for somehow not being dead yet! And a cautious Batya fighting his aging body with kale smoothies, driven by self-loathing and the inability to imagine a life after bull-riding. Tom Wilson is a rodeo clown. And Backstrom has a ranch full of murder bulls.

Dallas dressing room post-game 7.

omg stop!!! Too cruel. </3

Garth Brooks has made a career out of angsty rodeo songs. It would make a good AU especially for guys who've had one too many concussions and still can't give up the sport, despite the danger and never being around their SO.

Chris Ledoux was even better for angsty rodeo songs.

Kris Russell's dad was a rodeo bullfighter, I am just saying.

Dallas Stars D-men in rodeo AU.

From your lips to ladyjanelly's ears.

Baseball may not be the fandom for you if you aren't interested in the sport, tbh. IME the best fics in the fandom, including the ones people are reccing, tend to lean pretty heavily on real games/seasons, the politics of the clubhouse, the hierarchy of the various leagues, even straight up statistics, with a huge dollop of an almost mystical reverence for ~the game~ (I think it's because of the wannabe-Ken Burns thing that also infects the sports side of the fandom, but idk). I did enjoy some of the fics even before I got heavily into the sport, but FTR I'm American, knew the rules and grew up steeped in, well, Ken Burns and Field of Dreams and all that.

It's not exactly that I'm not interested, just that beside one or two children's movies I've had zero contact with the sport. It's very much Not A Thing here, not irl or even on tv, so I've never been exposed to it...
