1. get him a drink
2. slip and fall on your ass

4. success, apparently
there's a lot of conjecture online
all time favourite fics
inspired by @anidstar and @gabeperrwoah (ty for the encouragement) I've compiled a long list of my favourite things on the wonderful platform of archive of our own under the willmack tag.
I've contemplated doing this for a while. No, no one asked me. However, I've been wanting to compile a list of my favourite completed works and wips for my own enterainment, and also to give some love to amazing authors out there who inspire me to write like genuinely I'll read a paragraph of theirs and sit above my draft for two hours
also I will inevitably lift elements from each fic that consciously or subconsciously try to emulate / envy through writer eyes, but this is always in appreciation over any jealousy or malice (i.e. I'm also not trying to copy these people help and it also doesn't mean that was the best element even, it's just one that stick with me) But i will aim to provide my review in pink, and the actual summary in white
I have been obsessively reading WM fics for nine months now, non-stop. went through all my bookmarks and subscriptions for this. buckle in. gonna be a long one.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One-shot/short
stare slave djedovino (by pertinence) - the best character study i have ever read. also as someone who has spent a lot of time in croatia: the landscape and ferry as scarily realistic. if you want to get sucked into family dynamics, read this rn.
i'm pretty sure everyone and their ,other has talked about this fic. I remember @0rdinaryth1ngs 's comment which was very accurate: this is not romance. the summary is a bit misleading, although summaries do not owe you specific things. there's background willmack but it's first and foremost a character study. that is so amazing it inspired me to start writing.
self-love for beginners (by balancebeams) - the author climbs into the mind of teenage boy and follows his evolution and coming of age. in very specific ways. realizations. grappling. interactions.
this fic is very explicit, so like check the tags, and summary, and author's note. i am convinced balancebeams used an actual brain for this and teased it apart. the slow changes are so patient and explained and real. very biased narration (and reductive view of gender) is done so realistically. the author said this is a labour of love and so believe it, bceause you can tell how it was crafted with patience, and dedication, and probably a lot of rereads and edits.
baby, let me plead my case (by cryproudly) - Will is a gaming streamer and mack is an OF model AU. KK and Laila live in a content house with will. and mcdavid and crosby are mack's industry friends. and it's amazing. hear me out.
the dialogue is so incredibly witty and funny and just fun. i love when authors take the concept seriously and just run with it. gives a bit of covid nostalgia too. at least it did for me. It's addictive, and warning: you will run out of the words to read quicker than you think.
something without a name (by Sloe_Balm) - will becomes obsessed with mack's love life. like obsessed. can't let it go. until he gets confronted about it
i read this a while ago i won't lie, i don't remember the detail but i remember eating it up and bookmarking it asap soooo
shadow in the sun (by ghostsinmachine) - friends with benefits snapshot
i remember reading this and being so floored by the writing style and vocabularly and flow. just wow. came back with a dictionary.
it's monday and I'm thinking about you (by tinymitts) - the ultimate marmon getting together story. i.e. mack is at a party and thinking about will. aiden also features, loved that. will is in boston and thinking about mack. surprise (said no one)
the tone of this is melancholy but it turns so heartwarming by the end. it also feels like you're there while you read it, the atmosphere is so gentle and perfect and immersive.
fav wips
Pushing it down and praying (by @roansbucketlist) - Will and Mack accidentally meet at party and uneraseable shenanigans ensue. then they go wild-goosechasing eachother around boston campuses and lane coerces mack into having matcha and doing yoga. entertaining at every turn and i'm so serious about that.
the narration in this is so so entertaining. I love the profanity and how it feels like racing thoughts and frustration. for a while, every single time there was an update I would reread the whole thing. like i could recite ch1 to you right now
also shoutout to the "not beta read but peer reviewed from a distance if you feel me" tag, lives in my mind rent free
Blue Under Ice (by tantrum (the notes follow me)) - perspective of Sid (somewhere in insert vague north america gesturing) who notices that something is wrong with mack. horrible parent rick celebrini (his rating is minus million out of ten). (note the referenced child abuse tag!)
this was recommended to me by my girlfriend and we wait for updates with bated breath together. i think the topic is dealt with so delicately and i love the perspective and how complicated and not-straightforward it is even though sid is trying but sometimes that's not enough. I can't wait to see where the story goes now with little Will in the picture.
Cast No Shadow (by @alltimecharlo) - Mack time-travels, and he slowly unravels what happens in his future: the sharks, his relationship with will, and his family is very important!
everyone knows I'm the biggest alltimecharlo fan and I have glazed them twice already in posts so I'm not going to take too long. i want to say the planning and multimedia elements that have gone into this fic are insane, and i am genuinely on the edge of my seat to find out what happens every chapter. I’m eating up the RJ lore
Brill Bruisers (by @opencasketbasketfries) - what if willmack met and started hooking up in a park in boston during college? then what?
the way side-characters appear in this fic and the depth they provide is truly so artistic and amazing, i like how everyone has important role, it makes the plot so understandably too.
a proportional response (by @gabeperrwoah) - it's the turn of the millenium. mack is playing for the sharks and confused, and will is the son of the president of the US. I am not kidding.
i love when people write about stuff they know and find passion in and this is absolutely that. author only has one chapter out but i'm too sat. I won't budge. the research and the characterisation of the sharks roster at time floors me. and colin graf bodyguard era sing me up rn!!!
Long/multichapter
significant lover (by linearity, aka @drivestraight) - the premise is will getting a boyfriend on IR, mack going feral, having some realisations, them being freaky and morally corrupt, and not to spoil but will taking that phone call made me roll around screaming.
i feel like everyone and their mother knows this fic, it's just so devourable (that's a word now), also big up bi mack representation
anywhere you want me (also alltimecharlo) - will is aiden's best friend (bigger age gap than irl) and they grow up together with mack, taking place over years, this is story of how mack's crush develops and then is reciprocated, and then secrety. Everey stage is explored in ample words.
genuinely, this is just the definition of fluff. I've read this 3 times over. it just makes me so happy, and I don't even like age gap stories by default. it's just so tender and unapologetically sweet.
say it once again with feeling (by @cryproudly99) - will and mack are not talking, except their families vacation together at cape cod every year. their getting together and breakup told through flashbacks up until the reconciliation.
i could not put this down, it was so comforting while sentimental. just thinking about the childhood friends to lovers concept makes me so happy but i could never execute it this beautifully like this is everything and more
the work i was ac looking for when i found the above is a similar concept (childhood friends):
here we are back again (by skjei) - this was last updated in dec 2025, but i'm still holding out (so like technically wip?)
the space between (by wendigones) - drunk mack is the facilitator and will convinces himself that mack doesn't actually want this, until it all boils over. wsh in the trenches but when is he not. internal torment is going on.
this is drawn out but in a good way? like really giving the story enough space to come into it's own, and in-depth.
the boxer (by whiteknuckling) - will gets traded to the canucks. characterisations of side-characters are absolutely stellar, wonderful ensemble interactions. and they play a crucial role in Will coping with the change and coming into his own. also a tragic case of “are they lovers? Worse” (ending happily)
(I consulted my own comment on ch4 for a review): The background aiden drama has me foaming at the mouth. It’s like gossip that waters me, a withering flower. My senses are awakened. The concept of a cherny-graf-mack line is so bittersweet it’s killing meeeee. and “forgets about everything except hockey hockey hockey.” My show is onnnnn
like a comet pulled from orbit (by wcps_marc) - will and mack wake up married in vegas. gary bettman gets involved, legendary characterisation of sheriff rick here, and such cute and fluffy realisations.
Going to admit i was initially sceptical about the concept but so happy i dove into it. again, consulting my own bookmark: Super cute, i liked the details of piecing together what happened, and overall just made me feel giddy. Author said it was Happily Ever After, all capitalised and they weren’t lying. Makes you, dear reader, feel just as content and happy. Also like… who doesn’t like a day at the zoo. 12/10. I will not provide further rationale for the rating.
force of nature (by kallicaria) - they start messing around for hockey obviously. and they keep lying to themselves for years and years and years. so much derailing. blonde girlfriend shenanigans overload. so good.
this fic lives-breathes with me. i am addicted to it being drawn out over years but them also constantly interacting. chs 4 and 5 i especially remember being amazing.
over the wire (by @moncuries) - just this tag: What if mc had a terribly lonely rookie year at the sharks and it was 2005 and he was a closeted homosexual
not that i was conscious in 2005 but i'm pretty sure this is as immersive as it gets. i could not put this down once i started it, I've never ever in my life read such perfect dialogue. and because the fic is centered around phone calls: it works like a charm.
i won't leave you 'cause i still love you (so it's up to you if you choose to go) (by tinymitts) - nine year situationship. lots of mentions of mack's wife. she will suffer the fallout of Mack for decades. His punishment is learning to operate a french press
doomed middle-aged men. sigh. my soft spot.
your boy (by @bluecanvastotebag) - the punch. the fallout. the wife. the kids?! will and mack's kids?!?!? enamoured me.
i've read this three times already. it's so digestible and interesting and sweet at the end.
California 'Verse (series by MackWillmadeit) - this is three works with three perspectives and i think reading them together is how you get the full beautiful picture. Will gets unexpectedly traded, leno gets caught up in the mess of an unspoken situationship, and nobody is perfect. everyone's fucked up.
i remember esp leno's pov hitting me hard. like his evolution (or lack thereof? decide for yourself). i also remember being frustrated at characters and being torn about whether i'm rooting for them, which means they were so perfectly morally grey and messy. again, i think you fully appreciate the story with all three POVs (55k total), will's and mack's first and leno's last.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
this list took me net 4 hours to compile, and I might be underestimating there. Pls let me know if I A) missed an author’s tag and they’re on tumblr or B) you are featured in this list and would like to be removed!
Also literally send me recs anytime. I’m curious to see if i have taste that comes through in my willmack cv…
who's my good boy?
Pairing: Macklin Celebrini/Will Smith Rating: Explicit Chapters: 1/1 Word Count: 14.5k
"Wanna hear something?" "Yeah," Mack says quickly, like he's starving for it. Will chuckles. "I got the biggest size they had, because I knew you could handle it."
or: the second installment of the kink series aka let's get all the way undone
uppies
rigney is lowkey like the corporeal manifestation of will’s gay thoughts he took them out of his body and put them in a dog for safekeeping and he holds rigney close to him because he doesn’t want people finding out. essentially rigney is his gay horcrux.
greky time loop fic where graf is stuck on june 22nd and it’s a classic ‘the thing that breaks the loop is confessing ur love to the other person’ type thing and graf eventually breaks the loop and wakes up the next day a taken man. but. we all know what happened on june 23rd. and graf thinks that maybe just maybe he had done smth wrong breaking the loop the first time and he’s been put in another worse loop as punishment. but the next day comes. and the next day. and the next day. and graf wishes he could just go back to the loop
book club but instead of reading a book that is 99% likely project hail mary, we project something worth knowing by linearity (alias @drivestraight) onto the big screen and dicuss it every wednesday and saturday who’s with me
So I saw this beautiful art and wanted to make a small snippet into the future yay!
rpf applies so beware⚠️
The roar of the crowd was a physical thing, a wall of sound that vibrated in Mack's chest and rattled the ice beneath his skates. He could taste the sweat and the cold, sharp air, and the bitter tang of near-victory. For fifty-nine minutes and fifty-eight seconds, it had been his. Canada's.
Now, with 1.2 seconds left on the clock in overtime, it was Will's.
[24.05.17] denver.barkey #champs
sorry y’all here’s the whole video
nah wtf is this
Mack: haha got your nose!
Will: dude I breathe through my mouth I don’t even fucking need it
Omega4omega Willmack who become best friends because they’re the two rookie omegas on the team (it’s rare to have that many omegas, most teams only have one or two total, but the Sharks have several, however, the older ones are already mated.) So they spend all their time together. They room together on the road because it’s safe. They’re literally attached at the hip and it’s like they don’t need anyone else. Mack’s never been with an alpha (never been with anyone actually), but Will has, and he hated it. He hated the way the alpha felt entitled to him. Hated the way he felt trapped. Hated how desperate his heats made him, and the alphas that would just laugh and call him pathetic, but he needed it so bad that he had to just suck it up and let them have their way.
Meanwhile Mack has just been suffering through his heats alone, because his father made him feel like being an omega was something shameful that he had to overcome in order to be successful rather than something he could embrace.
So the first time Mack goes into heat while they’re together, they’re in a hotel in some bland city that doesn’t matter, and Mack hesitantly approaches Will after dinner and says, “I’m going to ask for my own room.” And Will’s eyes narrow in confusion. Has he done something wrong? He wracks his brain but can’t think of anything, and then Mack just shakes his head. “I just don’t want to, um, bother you,” he says. And Will can smell it, the shame and fear coming off him in waves, but also, underneath it, the smell of slick, of need. Will immediately understands, and his chest instantly clenches, upset that Mack thinks this would ever be a bother to him.
“Mack, it’s okay. You don’t have to be alone. I can…” he trails off, not sure if what he wants to offer is okay. But Mack blinks at him, waiting for him to continue, and it’s soft and sweet enough to make him take the leap. “I can try to help,” he says.
