scribblinlenoreLike some many people, I miss the community on LJ/DW. Tumblr just isn't the same. A bunch of people including my dear ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
no_detective have made the commitment to post every day for a month, and I'm going to do my part and join in.
I promised a few people that I would pass on some hockey fic recs for newbies. Here's the first set featuring Sid and Geno. There's nothing startling here. They're pretty much the stories everyone reads and rereads, but for anyone just getting into the fandom, this is a great place to start. I'll have another set for Tazer/Kaner and a set of miscellaneous other pairings.

Summary: Geno can't. Sidney won't.
Soulbonding tends to creep me out. I'm all about freedom of choice. This story subverts the trope in a way that feels very true to the characters and their relationship, addresses what would be totally not awesome about telepathically bonding with someone, and (for me anyway) is romantic in the best possible way.

Summary: Sidney groans, because this is ridiculous. “I think I’m having an allergic reaction,” he says.
If Sidney Crosby were a Sentinel, that would explain so much!

Summary: By the fourth time Crosby has hung up on him, Alex has to admit that this has gone from funny to, frankly, a little hurtful.
I read this whenever I need to laugh and go AWWWWW! It has this one particular line that pops into my head all the time: Ah, young love. That special feeling of wanting to throw up and break into song at the same time. LOL! So true.

This is my own personal head canon about Sid.

Summary: Geno scowls at him and pointedly Googles can penguins get concussions? while Sidney eats a tuna breakfast. Geno scowls harder when all of the results are about human Sidney’s concussion. (or, the one where Sidney gets turned into a penguin, and Geno's life is really hard.)
If anyone were actually going to turn into a penguin, it would be Sid.
