Yuletide Reveal: Sharing the Load
Jan. 1st, 2021 10:28 amThe last treat I wrote for Yuletide was for "Superstition," a queer hockey original-fic series on AO3. I love the series; it's pure escapism reading for me. And also, as an autistic person diagnosed in adulthood, the main character reads as very autistic in the way he sees the world and the way he relates to other people. So when I saw a request on the app for him written as autistic, I knew I had to do it.

Summary: After Everest, Luc and Jacks go to therapy.
On AO3. Pillowfort. Tumblr.
Luc's sports psychologist heard them out with a thoughtful air. "I can help Luc out with his issues related to retirement and adrenaline-seeking, but I'm not a couples' counselor. If you have issues to work through together, you really should have a therapist who focuses on those issues. I can give you some referrals, if you like."
"Yes, please," Jacks said firmly.
"Okay," Luc said.
Jacks shot him a surprised look, which Luc was a little hurt by. He wasn't always the most perceptive guy, but he was coachable. When the coach or doc or whoever told you what needed to be done to fix the problem, you did it, unless you had a damn good reason why. Jacks knew that. Jacks knew Luc knew that. Why was he expecting Luc to balk? Luc had been an asshole, he knew that, but surely not enough of an asshole to make Jacks doubt all that he knew about Luc? He shoved down his hurt. He had been the asshole, he didn't get to feel hurt about Jacks' reaction. He still felt a little hollow inside.
