From: (Anonymous)I think they're talking about the part where Andy (jokingly, I thought) tells them not to eat their lobster salad on bread but they do anyway. It didn't bother me coming from a trainer in the offseason, when lots of players go low carb, but I guess it pinged that old school salad stuff.

From: (Anonymous)I wonder what pairing she's writing now though. It doesn't sound like she's going back to S/G.

From: (Anonymous)I had to nope out of this in the beginning, because I thought he seemed a lot younger than his age with the whining and worry that his parents will embarrass him in front of his crush.

From: (Anonymous)1. As always, the author's note is hilarious. "It's not quite an epic", yeah like not at all, but way to overestimate your own writing ability, bruh.
2. The non-linearity kept taking me out of the story. Unnecessary.
3. I do like her characterization of Sid in this more than I usually like her characterization of Sid, so I kudosed. Though the flip side of that is the whininess that annoys me in her writing of him appears to have transferred to Mackinnon.
4. Pure conjecture but "15 minutes late with Sid/Nate" made me think she's annoyed Sid/Claude won out as the inter-Team Canada ship of choice after Worlds 2015.

From: (Anonymous)Yes, agree! That's what I liked about these two narratives too, I felt they contrasted nicely. Cole Harbour was like this happy summer bubble aside from the pining, so traditionally once they get together, everything's fine and they ride off into the sunset. But then the other narrative proves that's not true, especially with the obstacles they have.
It makes me want more about the in-between, like dealing with being far apart/Sid's slump/the Avs meltdown, but I like angst.
Re: Fic Discussion- kept just like we were, oflights
From: (Anonymous)My one real problem was the end- there were a few hints in the playoff run bits that Nate was nursing some angst, I figured it was his shitty year and feeling conflicted watching another team, even your boyfriend's, win the Stanley Cup. But then, literally paragraphs away from the end Nate goes and says he's not even sure they are actually, truly together? Like, what? That's a huge bomb to drop on us so quickly with no *real* resolution to it. In retrospect, oflights didn't hint at this very well at all because it came out of nowhere for me.

From: (Anonymous)I liked it, but I see the point here too. It reminded me of the other nonlinear fic she wrote for Sid/Geno, where I think the form took precedence over the plot. This fic did the same thing, because I enjoyed the contrast in the two narratives and the way some matched up, like Sid and Nate at the zoo vs. Sid and Nate at hockey school, and Andy giving them a hard time about food vs. Andy giving them a hard time about PDA.
The difference is this fic didn't really have that big impact moment like the other nonlinear one did, with "breakup canceled" and the evil agent reveal. It just kind of petered out. I think it could have been longer and gone past the Cup win, actually.
