There are a few things I always feel like I should say to the world when I open up space monkeys. One is, “I’m so, so,
sosorry,” but I’m really not. The next is, “It isn’t really my fault!” but it basically is. Finally, “at least all the porn’s implied in this one.” That’s completely true.
There’s an excuse for space monkeys. You see, when I was very young (and even more innocent), Sasha linked me to this hockey site. There was a fic with Mike Comrie, and maybe Eric Brewer. There were drinks and it was slow and sexy and all of a sudden, hockey porn wasn’t just in my head! We all know I’m talking about Robyn, who else loves Comrie that stupidly much. Time went on and I learned to loooove her for her insanity, and there probably isn’t a person alive who understands this crack as much as I do or encourages me so much in my madness. So Robyn gave me ideas for this and said supportive stuff like “ha ha ha wtf yes!” Dion Phaneuf is her fault.
Robyn got me through the first 5000 words of this puppy.
Then there was Cassidy. Cassidy and I met over Ales and Ilya. Being the versatile kid I am, I learned to love the Thrashers and baseball and somehow, we ended up roleplaying future!fic and then there was werewolves and finally Harry Potter knockoff. Cassidy says, “what’s wrong with you?” a lot, but she never actually—like. Eventually, I always get my way. Also? She asked for this.
I guess there are things you need to know if you’re a casual reader. I’ve very, very helpfully picture linked a character the first time they appear, because. Like, I like hockey-and-soccer-and-baseball-and-curli
ng, but I GET that not everyone does! If you’re reading this for Jeff Francoeur on page 14, I don’t expect you to get the sneaky reference to Moreau and Staios’ long-and-short-sleeved-shirt combos.
If you think that takes away from the fic?
FUCK YOU ignore the links, loserface. They're pretty subtle.
What else can I say. Major, major thanks to Camille for the read-through and basically anyone who said, “yeah you’re insane, do it anyways.” Cassidy asked for Roethlisberger/Prior in space, but she also gave me an opening for smuggler Crosby/Malkin/Staal. The end result?
