Reading Update
Note: This a completely incomplete reading update, without links to the stories and without listing all the stories I read. (You would truly be horrible if you knew how many there were.) I was contacted by the hockey rpf community and asked to not add their stories to Goodreads (or link to their stories elsewhere), as the authors were becoming very uncomfortable with the level of visibility their stories were getting (to the point that some authors locked their stories so they aren’t visible to the general public). I have honored their request, as I meant no disrespect to the hockey rpf community. If you’ve become intrigued by hockey rpf (or any other fanfic), I highly recommend that you request to join The Freeloaders group on Goodreads.

  • Hanging with the Unloved Kids by ChibiRHM. free ebook/online fiction. Very good rpf m/m romance about a deeply closeted team captain whose strategy has been to simply ignore that he’s gay. It’s been working ok, until he realizes that he’s slowly fallen in love with his teammate and best friend.
  • See This Through by Impertinence. free ebook/online fiction. Very good rpf m/m romance about a hockey player who orders a Russian bride online while he’s drunk, then forgets about it… until a scruffy Russian guy shows up on his doorstep.
  • My Siberia: A Russian Knitting Circle Story by Impertinence. free ebook/online fiction. Very good rpf m/m romance about a Russian hockey player whose crush on his socially awkward and oblivious team captain is apparently obvious to everyone… except his team captain.
  • Play Along by shihadchick. free ebook/online fiction. Very good short rpf m/m romance about a hockey player whose teammate bets him he can’t get with the next person to come in the door of the bar… and it turns out to be his best friend (and teammate).
  • Nothing But Good Times Ahead by shihadchick. free ebook/online fiction. Very good rpf m/m romance about a hockey player who propositions his team captain the minute his rookie year is over.
  • Enough to Crush Your Veins by doctor_denmark. free ebook/online fiction. Very good rpf m/m romance about a former figure skater with a wrecked knee who’s starting college and working as a nanny for a hockey player’s three-year old son. This one builds slowly and I do wish there’d been a little more at the end.
  • not gonna write you a love song by justbreathe80. free ebook/online fiction. Very good short rpf m/m romance told from the perspective of a goalie who slowly realizes that two of his teammates are together.
  • run my fingers through your hair and watch the lights go wild by justbreathe80. free ebook/online fiction. Very good short rpf m/m romance about a hockey player who realizes that his somewhat older teammate and lover may be the less experienced off the ice…
  • How to Become a Man by liketheroad & mockturtletale. free ebook/online fiction. Very good rpf m/m romance in which a team captain has to deal with his best friend and teammate who’s suddenly become a six-year old. Being able to take care of his friend gets him thinking about a lot of feelings and stuff he’s been trying not to think for a long time.
  • I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together by Northern_Star. free ebook/online fiction. Very good rpf m/m bodyswap romance about an uptight hockey player who scoffs at a gypsy fortune teller and is then cursed…
  • This Must Be the Place by thehoyden. free ebook/online fiction. Very good rpf m/m romance about a socially awkward team captain who’s feeling lonely and upset during the offseason when a teammate gets traded away… but everything’s better when his best friend agrees to come back from Russia early to train together.
  • Dynamic Immersion Method by Sharksdontsleep. free ebook/online fiction. Very good short rpf m/m romance about a hockey player who starts learning Russian to he can understand what his teammate is mumbling to him.
  • Try to Map the Ocean by oflights. free ebook/online fiction. Sweet and surprisingly poignant rpf paranormal m/m romance about a hockey player who turns into a penguin and the teammate who takes care of him.
