Lets Go For It (Just For Tonight) by ibear
“Yeah, I get that,” Sid had said. “Do you think you could help me?”
“With sports psychology?” Geno had guessed and known he was wrong.
But it was nice to get confirmation from the flush of Sid’s cheeks. “No, with—sex.”
Hot and also adorable

“It’s so early, G,” Sidney mumbles as he pulls himself upright as takes the coffee and the bagel. Geno laughs and goes back into the kitchen, bringing the rest into the bedroom and settling on the covers, sipping his tea and unwrapping his own food.
“Is 8.30, Sid, time for wake. Lots to do today, Mr. Prime Minister.”
This is adorable!
The Young and the Restless by level3puckbunny
“I think you have this all wrong, Geno. I’m not, like, your old spinster aunt that you have to take out on day trips to get her out of the house.”
“No. You young spinster hockey player. Still good to get out of house.”
I do love domestic fluff
Stars Apart by java_genie
It’s easy for Geno to imagine how things could better, out in the black. He’s read all the comic books and seen all the movies about the people who leave the core behind and find a second life, a better life, as pioneers and outlaws on the frontier of space. It means opportunity—the chance to scrub yourself clean of all the bad names and mean labels the core gives people born to parents not rich enough, smart enough or brave enough.
But Sid, he was born with all the right labels—and Geno can’t think of a single thing Sid could find out among the stars that he couldn’t have here at home.
I wasn't sure a hockey Firefly AU would work but it does and this is all kinds of fun
March into the Sun by o_contrary
In the flurry and frenzy of packing and checking with his team once more before he leaves, he sort of-
It’s not that he forgets to check in with Geno.
He’s just hoping they’ll have some sort of chance to catch up in Prague, when Geno will have less of a limp, will be able to walk like someone younger than 90, and it won’t turn into a fight that Sidney isn’t quite prepared to have.
Membership to the Triple Gold Club isn't all Sidney leaves Prague with.
Much cuteness
Little Steps (Getting There; Being There) by onceuponamoon
“Flower?” Geno asks, inclining his head in the snoring goalie’s direction.
“Yeah, Flower’s okay,” Sid confirms. He wants to tell Geno that he’s okay, too, but that’s – another limb to carefully navigate. “Most of the time. Goalies need lots of attention.”
“Yes, give Flower lots of love. Not like Talbo.” Geno grins. “He not need any, okay? Gets plenty from mirror.”
Sid laughs, loud in the quiet of the airport lobby. “Yeah,” he says, “Okay.”
I don’t think I will ever get tired of readin getting together fics about these two
(1)5 Exes and Sid by whatjusthappened
Five times Geno fell in and out of love, plus one time he stayed in love.
Or, the one where Geno dates a lot of people before realising the love of his life has been in front of him all along.
Lovely getting together fic
The One Where Sid Gets A Tattoo by electricverse23
“How much is bail set for?” Jamie asks without hesitation and not even a hint of sleep in his voice. Fucker. “I’ll get Jordie to do a transfer. Whatever it is, we’ll get you out.”
Tyler thinks it’s commendable that he doesn’t cut the call then and there. Then again, once word gets out that Sidney Crosby is possibly broken, Jamie and Jordie are the last chance he has of actually making it back across the Atlantic alive.
Or alternatively, Tyler Seguin Worries That He Broke Sidney Crosby In Prague With Indelible Ink.
This is fun and adorable
Out of the Woodwork by pinetreekate
Sid comes out. This is what happens next.
Another really cute and funny one
Your Hands Hold Me Together by itsacoup
The only constant factors are Sid and Geno and the way their hands fit together.
Five times Sid and Geno hold hands, expanded from my entry to the Real Hockey Bros Hold Hands challenge on tumblr.
Argh this is so precious
The Say Love Heals All Wounds by deastar
“Geno? Are you okay? Physically,” Sid asks, which is good, because Zhenya doesn’t think he can put into words how he’s feeling emotionally. He imagines saying, The person I’ve loved for ten years finally took me to bed last night, but it turns out he didn’t want to, and now I can read his mind. No, thank you.
“Feel fine,” Zhenya answers. “Even head feel fine.” And suddenly he realizes how fucking odd that is: he was concussed, and the room is brightly lit – he should be hiding under a blanket right now. He narrows his eyes and asks, “Sid, why head feel fine? What happen to concussion?”
Sid takes a halting step closer to the bed and says, “Our bond, it’s—it’s a healing bond.”
“Holy mother of God,” Zhenya breathes. So. They’re definitely not breaking the bond, then.
This is so wonderful. I really do love soul bond fics in this fandom and this is a great one!

DON’T LET ANYONE FEED YOU BISCUITS FROM A TUBE, JACK ZIMMERMAN!!!
The AU where Jack is a Pittsburgh Penguin
Okay, there was no way I was going to not read this although I was a little worried about the OT3 aspect as that's not really my jam. This is an absolutely wonderful fic though and I loved it. My real hockey boys and my fictional hockey boys all together *heart eyes*
