As you would never tell from the tags or the summary, this is a non-hockey AU, vaguely futuristic, dystopia setting.

I enjoyed the setting and the story. IDK anything about Lawson or Travis, so no clue how IC it is.

I always feel special when I can tell who wrote something. It's not very difficult in this instance, but :))).

yeah, I got a paragraph in and realized, and I am not someone who can normally guesses these things.

I tend to get confused where there are a handful of stories in a pairing as part of an exchange, and it's clear all the recipients of those stories probably wrote for each other but you can't sort out which is by which.

This, however, was not one of those situations. :)

I have a vague negative feeling toward the name Lawson Crouse that I can't place. I tried googling, but I couldn't find anything, so maybe I'm just getting him confused with someone else. The other two pairings were just too RTMI to pass up, and I'm glad.

I enjoyed this fic a lot, however, there's so much world-building (which was good, although, I would have preferred just sticking with "Ontario Moon" or something rather than spacey homeworld names, which I apparently tried to remember for no reason) and with the plot split between three couples, the ending came way too abruptly for me. The ending is there; it just feels like the setup to a sequel or continuation.

I really liked the way the relationships were handled. I go into all Carter/Richards fic these days prepared to back out fast, if necessary. The Kempe/Bissonette hit some of my favorite emotional kinks and why I read bonding fic in the first place. The Konecny/Crouse really fit their rl background of having grown up together, etc. I thought it was reminiscent of our world without being overly twisted to fit.

Lawson Crouse is the dude that ate a worm, iirc.

I don't know what you were expecting.

I really don't have feelings regarding him one way or another, but I read through way, way, way too many arguments among my team's fanbase over whether the team should draft him or someone else (it drafted someone else), so my first reaction upon seeing his name is to back away very quietly. However, I did enjoy this story. (I'm also pretty sure I know who wrote it, and I've liked what I've read of their work.)

I feels you on the Carter/Richards front, it's been a while since I read anything new with them that really hits all my buttons.

I read this one purely because I've been wanting Kempe/Bissonnette since they were roommates for some of last season, so when I saw your comment this instantly became a must-read.

Good read overall and +1 on how the Kempe/Bissonnette bond was handled, decent worldbuilding, but yeah, it felt like "to be continued" to me too even though there *is* an actual ending.
