Why this must be read:YOU GUYS!! I feel like I stumbled upon a goldmine or something!

Okay, I had all my recs together by the end of May. And today, I browse the Hockey tag at AO3 and .... wow, I knew I had to rec this about two paragraphs in. To quote Taylor Hall in this: „Beauty!" (I've been grinning so hard for the last couple of hours. This story is amazing!)

So, Ryan Whitney has a bet with Max Talbot: who can sleep with more NHL draft first picks? The result? HILARITY and maybe-feelings!

(Not exactly a crack fic, but so so so funny. Also – and that just might be my personal weirdness – a story that makes safe sex sexy. You know that point in a story where the guys get lubed up and stuff and sometimes the writers don't get how to write condoms into a sex scene? So not a problem in this one!)

And there are so many great scenes! The breakfast in chapter 3! Basically every single line in chapter 1! Family dinner! Aunt Gertrude! CAN YOU TELL I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS STORY?? (here comes a huge portion of text in all caps that was deleted because I fangirl-embarassed myself and you don't want to read that)
