even when the cold comes crashing through

chapter 1/?, aged-up characters, veteran player will and rookie mack, career ending injury, getting together codependency

They returned on the ice for the third period. Not even four minutes later, it all went truly to shit.

Mack was skating towards the net, his focus on the puck, when he saw Will being slammed into the boards by one of the Pen's defensemen. Skating forward, he eyed the man, waiting for Will to get up and skate away. However, Will stayed on the ice, unmoving.

Forgetting the puck, just letting it slip from his stick in a halfhearted attempt at shooting at the net, Mack immediately changed direction and skated towards the crease where Will was still lying on the ground. Mack could hear the referees stopping the game as they finally noticed something was wrong. Finally, he reached Will, falling on his knees next to his body, searching for any sign of injury.

“Will?” Mack whispered, overwhelmed by the need to hold the man as close as possible but terrified of hurting him. With his shaking hands, he reached out and took Will’s hand in his, squeezing his fingers around the glove.

thinking About., mack and will unknowingly bonding through the season. and then during the offseason they try to get some time apart bc everyone around them says it’ll be “healthy.” only for mack to develop rejection sickness bc his body doesn’t understand why it’s away from it’s mate :( it all comes crashing down on them and will has to hop on the most stressful flight of his life to make it all better

rereading your own fics/wips is a very slippery slope into finding out you actually have to finish your fics if you want them finished

[ao3-anonymous]

I just saw an anon come into a gif-maker’s ask box and start with the phrase: “I’m trying not to spam your inbox with reblogs, but” and then go on to say how much they love the gifs.

But I’m still stuck on that opening phrase because…what? I am so confused by how people view interactions on tumblr & AO3 these days. Let me make it very clear for anyone who is unsure:

CREATORS WANT YOU TO INTERACT WITH THEIR WORK.

The limit does not exist on how many of their works you can interact with in a certain period.

If you like every fic they’ve ever written? Then feel free to give them all kudos and even leave a comment on every single one if you feel inclined! If you’re going through someone’s blog and you vibe with every post, like/reblog to your heart’s content!

As long as you’re not expecting something back from them or adding a ton of irrelevant comments, it’s not spam! It’s what this is all about!! I’m not even much of a creator and I still feel a huge sense of pride when I see a ton of notifications in a row from a person, as it clearly shows they thought my blog was worth spending time on.

And if for some reason a creator is annoyed by this (unlikely), they can manage their own experience (turn off notifs, not look at their notes, delete the fic, etc) so don’t deprive the majority of creators because of some imagined annoyed person. Fandom is a collaborative effort and we all must participate!
