Will smith hockey yearns to be a TikTok girly and he’s just too shy to do it. Mack absolutely refuses to take part. Grace won’t post him all the time because then people accuse her of using him. Wsh and KK? Match made in heaven.

HEARTWARMING: These two frat boys from rival hockey teams are dating, and the internet cannot get enough of them! Wrong, wrong, and more wrong, Mack thinks, then reads it again, and again, just to make sure he’s really understanding it. Last time he checked, he and Will haven’t pledged any fraternities lately, however prone they may be to finding themselves at their shitty parties in their most desperate moments. He’s also certain they’re nowhere near dating, despite what other people on campus apparently have to say about it.  He wouldn’t call any of it heartwarming, either. Spine-chilling would be more accurate.

important will smith narratives part II: the bc line

ok this post is partly to keep facts organized for myself, but also to introduce anyone unfamiliar with the bc line, aka will smith's longtime (ex) linemates, who are an important part of his narrative and should continue to haunt it even in san jose!!

we'll get into the full bc line lore, but first let's start with some individual backgrounds before we bring it all together. for will's background info, check out this post. we'll kick off this post with gabe:

Gabe Perreault – DOB 5/7/05

Drafted 23rd overall by the NY Rangers

Born in Quebec, but raised in Hinsdale, IL; speaks French; dual Canadian/American citizenship but represents team USA

Older brother Jacob was also a first-round draft pick and is a current AHL/NHL player

Father Yanic Perreault played 14 seasons in the NHL and holds the record for the highest face-off winning percentage in a career

(source)

GARY?! i have never heard anyone refer to gabe as GARY. there is another video i'll talk about later where he gives the name "dan" for his coffee order because it's "easier than gabe" (which, btw, gabe is a nickname? his full name is gabriel?) so idk what's going on there. anyway, burying the lede here that his go-to karaoke song is something taylor swift. fascinating things going on there.

tbh i don't find gabe that interesting outside of the bc line narrative, BUT i do love these descriptions of his play which translate perfectly to how i characterize him:

"Leonard is the high-motor guy on that line, and he loves to battle in the trenches and he's always hungry for the puck," the first scout said. "Perreault is wired a bit different. He's more about finesse. But so is Smith. I think when Perreault adds some strength and power, which he needs to do, I think he'll be OK. He is a smart player and he'll pick his spots. But he'll have to be aware that he can't play so much on the perimeter." Perreault won't hurt his team with undisciplined penalties. He took four penalties for the entire 2022-23 season and U18s -- all minors. Some critics have said that the low penalty totals are due to being too much of a perimeter player and not initiating enough physically. Others have said that, in an era where even a 20 percent power play success rate ranks in the bottom-half to bottom one-third of the NHL, there is a much higher emphasis on staying out the penalty box.

(source)

gabe is smart and disciplined, but has questionable motor + compete. he has the vision, but is he willing to get in there and get his hands dirty? to bring the physicality? (this is why we continuously characterize gabe as the sacrificial lamb - he's always hanging on the perimeter and needs the more dynamic will & leno to bring him into the fold)

anyway, MOVING ON! next up: leno

Ryan Leonard – DOB 1/21/05

Drafted 8th overall by the Washington Capitals

Hometown: Amherst, MA

Older brother John was drafted in the sixth round and is a current AHL/NHL player; John also played at UMass for 3 years and was a Hobey Baker finalist his third year

he's the baby of the family ,and his parents have had much different career trajectories than will's lmao:

(source)

it's also very interesting how a western mass guy ended up at BC but i have yet to find leno giving a straight answer about why he committed there (other than it's a "special school" and "felt like home" when he visited the campus - he also appears to have a lot of pride in his grades; more on that later).

anyway, his playing style fits my ideal characterization as well. leno is a dog you keep on a leash:

Q: “Has that always been your game? Hard-nosed?” A: “Yeah, it’s kinda just like, what made the game fun for me. Waiting for that – you know, growing up, you can’t hit and all that, you got that one age group when you can finally smash people. I was kinda waiting for that. That’s just kinda what made the game fun for me. And that’s just kinda like who my identity’s been like.” (x)

this clip of will talking about leno's antagonistic tendencies is also incredible, but here's the most important quote if you don't want to click through and watch: "at school, whenever we go to an away rink, he’s always like 'oh, if I score I’m going right to their student section and giving them something.'"

also incredibly important team usa moment where he blew a kiss to the swedish fans after dashing their hopes of winning gold. shit stirrer!!!

i think there are some brother issues we could get into with leno but that's outside the scope of the bc line, so we'll wrap up his section with the reason he came back for his sophomore year: to get another shot at winning the national championship and to “get myself a little bit closer to graduating. I think that’s a big part of it, especially BC, a top end school like that. Obviously, life after hockey is pretty important to me and I want to have that degree in my hand to show I’m not just an athlete.” (x) this boy appears to REALLY care about his grades/attending an elite school!!

when given the chance to ask a magic 8-ball a question, he wanted to know if he'd get a 4.0 and looked thrilled it said "very likely" (x)

did NOT want to concede that ryan chesley got better grades than him; insisted that he went to a better school so it wasn't a fair question (x) (if i could recommend watching one (1) leno video, this would be it. he's particularly charming in this one imo)

okay let's pull this all together and how these three became a three-headed snake* 🐍🐍🐍

*ok i don't actually know; they all became good friends and linemates while playing together for 2 years at the NTDP but who knows the specifics of how that friendship was forged during their program days (but what a great narrative to explore in fic eh!!!)

anyway myth became legend once they stuck together for college; leno + will both confirm that leno committed to BC first with will shortly behind leno, as will had to finish decommitting from northeastern first (leno's summary of this is hilarious: “So Will, I don’t know if you knew, everyone in his whole entire family has gone there [to BC] and for some reason he committed to Northeastern.” (x))

will says that convincing gabe was "a project"

he talks about it in this video and there's some incredible editing where will describes in a voiceover how he and leno both committed "so that was two of us" and then he was in gabe's ear while there are shots of him and leno looking all chummy like this:

and him and gabe looking all pensive like that, as if they're in some kind of heist movie and they can't pull it off if they don't have gabe's brains and the way he sees security systems on their crew. great stuff!!

i can no longer remember which of the 7 billion interviews i watched where will says he had to start pressing gabe, then "pressing on him a little more" to get him to go to BC, but gabe informs us this pretty much meant, "will was pretty much asking me every day if i was coming, so." (x) guess that was an effective tactic to wear him down

also VERY important to note that gabe was will's roommate at BC, and he consistently calls him his roommate (or now refers to him as his "ex-roommate"). there is something very possessive there. gabe belonged to will - he put in the work to get gabe to BC, claimed him over leno as a roomie, and then left him behind for leno to have his scraps to move onto bigger and better fish i guess

this is getting long, so let's conclude with some summaries of their dynamics in the boys' on words, starting with will:

(source - article from the spring prior to his freshman year at BC)

and leno, saying he's their leashed dog:

and finally, all three of them talking about each other's hockey skills:

and then the sharks win the draft lottery and select BU's own macklin celebrini, 17 year old first overall pick from BC's biggest rival. (will, btw, was BC's highest ever draft pick at 4th overall.)

last season, BC lost the national championship (leno cried; this is really important to me) and will signed with the sharks before macklin did, stabbing gabe and leno in the back leaving gabe and leno behind. we thought for sure that meant leno was going to sign with the caps, but he and gabe both went back to BC for another chance at the natty. and now that will and mack are obsessed with each other, and will's off losing in san jose while leno & gabe have a chance to win the one trophy will didn't get to, the shredded tapestry of the bc line has become an even richer tapestry for the narratives....

i was, in fact, not ready (x)

[two-seventyone]

imagine you just spent 30+ minutes hauling yourself up rocks and roots and stairs to the top of a mountain for the fifth time this week (it’s wednesday) getting stopped by 13 year olds with their phones out at every turn and you have a ‘golfing’ ‘tee time’ with ‘connor bedard’ in an hour and your dad just told you you’re having ice soup for dinner again and when you open your phone to send a picture of the view to your noncommittal no label casual soul crushing situationship to break the awkward tension after he told you ‘couldn’t make it’ to your birthday and is ‘so sorry’ and ‘wishes he could be there’ you’re met with him tan and beautiful and cheesing ear to ear making silly tiktoks at the bauer combine

[pantarheid]

the thing about will being a control freak yada yada is that to TRULYYYY rock his world you gotta snatch that control he so badly craves/finds comfort in away from him and make him take whatever you wanna give him…. only then will his brain finally go quiet #nomoreanxiety #nomoreparanoia

don't wait up

explicit / 6k lane hutson/arber xhekaj nhl off-season, curses, vaginal sex, dirty talk, creampie

Lane huffs and squeezes his eyes shut. “You know, like, fingers. A dildo. An orgasm. And obviously, it didn’t work, so you—I need you to—” “Fuck you,” Arber finishes. It’s not that he wasn’t expecting it, or isn’t up for it. It’s just that now he’s thinking about Lane’s long fingers in his pretty, wet snatch and his wires are getting a little crossed up. Lane probably already had the dildo. For some reason, Arber is imagining that it’s purple, with a suction cup at the base. Maybe he slid his cunt onto it while it was stuck to the floor. Came like that and slept still sticky between the thighs, only to wake up and still have his pussy.

sorry this took so long :P hope u like it
