She puts McDavid/Ekblad in fic a lot, and it all feels very unearned in the writing

I think with that ship she tries to pull the same thing she did with Hall/Henrique in this fic, where they're sooooo in looooove and it's an epic romance for the ages but there's never any explanation of why they even like each other in the first place, we're just supposed to accept it as is because she said so.

this is my problem with the mcdavid/ekblad she writes. then again, i also feel like mcdavid/ekblad is criminally boring, and there are way more interesting people and dynamics to write for both of them.

though maybe a different writer could get me to like mcdavid/ekblad, i don't know.

I classify McDavid/Ekblad with McDavid/Strome as sort of the same kind of ship written by the same sort of people who are way more interested in the GTA crowd and junior hockey than I can ever stomach. I think with Ekblad the ship has a bit more potential but it remains very unrealized.

i like mcdavid/strome, but i see your point. strome is willing to cry on camera, which helps for me.

with ekblad, part of me is like, why would you write ekblad/mcdavid when you can write ekblad with one of his more interesting teammates? trocheck, for example, given that hilarious interview they did together.

Same here. I'm sure there are ways it could be interesting (there was a McDavid/Strome I remember liking a while back) but so far it isn't been and the relationships aren't built well by the authors writing them.
