    Loved this fic. Such a comfort and joy to read. Immediately screamed when I finished it because there isn't a sequel. Jeff Carter isn't the step dad, he's the dad who stepped up. Obsessed.

    And, okay, Jeff doesn't actually need to know how to cook lake trout in a tin-foil packet with ramps and fiddleheads - what even is a ramp? or a fiddlehead - but he clicks anyway.

    Bookmarking this because I've read it like three times in a week. There's something about the light stalking with a dash of yearning that comforts me lol. I want to try Mike's recipes now.

    Summary

    Jeff Carter's got enough to worry about with the end of the OHL season and his NHL draft coming up.

    The last thing he needs on top of all that is visions of a future with Mike Richards.

    Would you start a relationship with someone who you knew was your great love but also knew would end in heartbreak? Having watched My Old Ass a few months ago, I think I agree with the answer in this and that movie. Fantastic fic.

    Summary

    Fuck it, Carts has texted, offer still open?

    Mike swallows. Door’s unlocked.

    There’s no response, but a few hours later, there’s an email in Mike’s inbox with the itinerary for a flight from LA in two days. No return trip.

    Or,

    Jeff's reaction to a life crisis is still a good sulk and Mike would still rather be a hermit at his lake with no one but Jeff and his dog, but they aren't the same people they were ten years ago. And maybe that's a good thing.

    Back on my 17-year-long Carter/Richards train. So happy people are still writing incredible fic for these two idiots. Mike is so intense in this fic. Everyone else can see how in love he is but Jeff. I'm obsessed.

    Captivating fic! Was very hard to stop reading it halfway through and go to bed.
