The Work of Wings by thefourthvine (R, Explicit )
Hi! I'll be driving the van for the Hockey RPF this month. While I've been a hockey fan for a long time, the lockout made me miss the game so much that I dove into the fandom and the fic as a way of coping. Since December, I've been poking into all corners of this fandom and discovering some delightful things. It's been almost a year since hockey has been rec'd here, so while we watch the Stanley Cup Playoffs (because it's the Cup), let's delve into some awesome stories!
Fandom: HOCKEY RPF
Pairing: Evgeni Malkin/Sidney Crosby
Length: 40K

Why this must be read:
This story is rich in details of hockey history and traditions. It includes an appearance by the tragic Valeri Kharlmalov, in who's honor Geno Malkin wears the #71. Some of the history touched upon includes the US victory in Lake Placid in 1980, the Summit Series in 1972, and the Lokomotiv disaster in 2011. Living in Dallas as we do, Lokomotiv hit us close to home. All the Stars programs that season included a memorial page for Karlis Skrastins and the boys wore his number on their helmets. I was a little wary of this element of the story with the loss so fresh, but the Lokomotiv part was handled with tact.
And then it has Sidney Crosby and his utter love of hockey - how he'll do anything or endure anything to be able to play. This story is full of Sid feels, and especially poignant given Crosby's current status. Right there along with Sid is Geno in his full-on caring, protective, and tolerant-of-Sid's-idiosyncracies best.
If you have a love of hockey as a sport with a long and proud history, and a love of Sid and Geno getting together, this story should be just the thing.
