i'm always down for personality contrasts (among other things, it's one of the reasons i miss hockey spouses pk/carey so so much.) so petro/jake is interesting me right now, but i am *not* up for the amount of research i'd have to do.
it's not exactly *kept* rookie, but a friend of mine and i now have a whole bunch of not!fic parayko/reaves thanks to whichever nonnie came up with "north american rookies all get tentacles" (basically nc-17 tentacle mentoring 101 turns more serious after parayko's rookie year ends with him using his words that *feelings* got involved. ryan's understandably "ok, mature for your years but still a bb plus neither of us is trade-proof so think about this over the summer/etc." so summer is them doing basically whatever their rl selves did only with some skype/phone sex and keeping in touch included, and they're more-or-less dating in that verse at the moment. we decided that keeping tentacles once you got off your elc was basically a personal decision, and that because of that some guys keep them either a) as an edge to stay on a roster if they're not superstars because NA rookies are a common thing b) it's fun or c) combo platter.)
