I got about halfway and realized I was just scrolling through most of it waiting for something to happen. There's so much fucking banter that takes up so many words and none of it is that entertaining to read? It's like listening to your younger siblings bicker with each other or something. I also felt like there was no real conflict happening because everybody ends up being so supportive and wonderful. I never thought I would be like "give me more gritty, realistic mpreg" lol but this fic made me want fic where Dylan gets pregnant and there are actual consequences for his life and career instead of just sunshine and roses and endless banter.

I'm still working my way through, mostly for the scraps of belly-touching and body change stuff, but it is definitely long on fluff. I always want more angst and conflict in this kind of thing, though, as long as it's not "people totally fail to communicate basic facts to one another."

ayrt
Yeah, angst but not angst like that svmadelyn fic where Toews is the father but takes forever to mention that for reasons that were never clear to me. I know this particular fic isn't supposed to be particularly realistic, but give me a little more than just, every single one of our friends cries when they talk about our baby! your coach let you hang around the team for "support" and everybody was totally cool with it! our agents worked miracles and shut down any Mean Haters that might have been out there and now everything is fine! just a liiittle bit more than that.

especially with 300k

da

That's one thing I liked about the recent-ish Latta/Wilson mpreg fic. It wasn't a masterpiece, but I thought ot had a pretty decent balance of angst/plot-driving conflict.

+1

I liked that one too especially because I always like woke up in another universe fics where other characters know and the differences between the interloper and their version matter to them.

NA

Anyone have recs for "woke up in another universe" fics? I'm craving it now. All I can think of are:

Jack Johnson/Crosby: http://archiveofourown.org/works/2108985
PK Subban/Carey Price: http://archiveofourown.org/works/2207451

If you're up to reading Kane/Toews, there's this one:

Jamie/Jordie It's good, but pay attention to the tags.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/8912545

That fic is not for everyone, but I adore it. So, so good.

For the second time in a matter of hours, Jack decides fuck it and calls one of the few people he knows would never lie to him.

“Mom.”

Well that's unfortunate :D:

Whoops!!

Here's an Eichel/McDavid one.

I liked the idea, but in practice I could not buy Latta's characterization at all. His partner has disappeared and might never come back, he's got a guy who looks just like his partner hanging around who isn't in love with him, and meanwhile he's having a baby? Latta was about 1000% too chill for that scenario, as far as I was concerned.

I read it more as him deciding not to take it out on New Tom than him genuinely being cool with it, especially after the ending few scenes.

Yeah, I also thought he was a bit too calm but then he made that comment near the end about why he thought they had switched and it made more sense.

OP

I've given it a try when people said it isn't terrible and it isn't really, but I'm only on chapter 6 or so and ALREADY annoyed by all the banter, lol. If it just continues like that I'm not sure I can read it all even though I do long for longfic.

If you're already getting banter overload, then I will be very surprised if you make it through the whole fic. But you should keep us updated, because I'm curious!
