Pairing: Nathan MacKinnon/Mikko Rantanen, Tyson Barrie/Gabriel Landeskog, J.T. Compher/Tyson Jost/Alexander Kerfoot
Length: 20:36

Summary: Things aren't going well for Nate:

-He's accidentally burned down his workplace, which is also where he lives.

-His best friend Tyson has to move to Canada for work, leaving behind his husband Gabe and their daughter Birgitta.

-Birgitta, who's also Nate's goddaughter, is so unhappy about her family being pulled apart that she's accidentally made her plushies able to talk.

-Bernie, one of those plushies, can not only talk, but has also become a real dog magically bonded to Nate, much to the displeasure of both dog and human.

-Nate keeps making a fool of himself in front of the very attractive new customer who seems to be flirting with him.

How on earth is any of this going to work out okay?!?!

Content Notes: unhappiness about move (symbolism of real-life trade), threat against infidelity (which is immediately explained as not happening)

This fulfills the July theme of animals. I'm going to use the cheat to swap out "read a fic cold" for "read a friend's fic."
