I actually need you all to understand .. get on board.

Ryan is pushy in a sense that he doesn't gaf what Mack would think. He's not friends with Mack. He doesn't gaf what wsh will think either. Aiden is intriguing to him. He's something he's not supposed to want, which makes him want Aiden even more.

Aiden is obsessed. People have told him Ryan is a pos asshole who thinks of nobody but himself but when they're together Ryan is so attentive and does everything for Aiden. He allows himself to be soft and vulnerable under Aiden. Something he never allowed before. And Aiden sees that. And encourages it.

And when Mack and Will find out they're like what the actual fuck? And yeah, Mack's a little mad, until they see them together and how weirdly in love they already are.

[pucksoflife]

will and his tanned skin. look at that glow. kinda red too. super pointy barbie nose. stunning. and then you have mack. somehow still white as a ghost. equally as beautiful. his pretty lil bulbous nose tip and smile lines. their lips look like they fit together so perfectly. mack's chain peeking through subtly.

wow

[whateverthatmean06]

See a normal person might think “Will is training in Vancouver how nice!”

Then there’s me who is thinking: when did he get there, where is he staying, how long is he staying, did they hug when they saw eachother, did he meet Mack’s mom and sister, did Mack pick him up from the airport, did he see Aiden, did they have breakfast together, did they share a bed?…

If you like this Willmack -> Read this McStrome

Significant lover by linearity / @drivestraight (E, 110k) -> try Otters for life by hannah_baker (E, 21k) Have you ever looked for a fic where a guy named Chris gets cheated on by a hockey player with another hockey player? Well I have two. You can even imagine that it’s the same guy. Rip Chris but his sacrifice gave us these two bangers that both share the idea of “can’t stay away from my hockey person bff guess I'm cheating now" so if you like significant lover thennnn -> Otters for life?

Aphasia by moncuries / @moncuries (E, 52k) -> try burn the straw house down by theundiagnosable (E, 39k) Recommending classic for classic! As the willmacks prolly know, aphasia is the fic where mack comes out nationally and then hides away with his boy bestfriend wsh. As the mcstromes know, btshd is a archetypal mcstrome where Connor suffers a career ending injury and retreats to his ex boy best friend Dylan Strome. Similar mid range long fic classics of their community - angst (with a happy ending). If you like the relational struggle/ make up aspects of aphasia and the hard work of addressing your dysfunction for your generational talent boy bestie then maybe give btshd a look!

my four leaf clover by alltimecharlo / @alltimecharlo (G, 11k) -> try for your eyes only by lilcrickee / @lilcrickee (M, 11k) my four leaf clover is my favorite feel good willmack. They just love each other and are classically codependent. Willmack go to worlds and Toff bets that they can’t spend the whole time apart and they fail in spectacular fashion and it’s so sweet and it made me scream in bed. If you like that low stakes best friends they just love each other and eventually realize it and get together dynamic then try for your eyes only! It’s a bit sadder because the mcstrome narrative inherently has inbuilt separation but oh my god they care about each other so much and Connor's the only guy Dylan lets see him draw and I need more ppl to be obsessed with mcstrome.

best guess by litaf1101 (E, 55k) -> This year by hannah_baker (E, 48k) In best guess WSH and Mack go to BC/BU respectively and meet each other earlier than canon timeline. Will kinda becomes Mack’s keeper and Mack becomes Will’s safe space where he goes to be happy instead of a toxic hockey jock. In this year Dylan becomes Connor’s live-in house babysitter(not age regression) and Dylan becomes Connor’s safe space where he goes to be slightly less depressed instead of fully depressed. If you like that best guess dynamic where them dysfunctional boys find comfort in each other then who knows could try this year?

your boy by bluecanvastotebag (M, 32k) -> try The Next Next One by yourblues (M, 71k) And you know we had to rec the next next one. Also your boy. First similarity? Goated. Second similarity? Future fic with communication problems and non linear narrative where one of the guys is trying to move on from their generational talent ex bestie who wants them to do a documentary. Pining. Angst. Moving on but being haunted. Resolving the unresolved. You just gotta read both of them. #goat4goat

willmack creepily in sync ....

[pucksoflife]

i wanna add, aiden is back in vancouver today too (or just back in north van since he was with the canucks for a bit). i hope will finally gets his aiden follow this time. maybe when they're at the celebrini family cottage aiden corners him. "if u ever hurt him just know i will hurt you". and he's serious. mack's never been this happy and be damned it gets ruined. will is on thin ice without even doing anything lol. then later that night he gets the "aiden_celebrini has followed you" notif

[pucksoflife]

ok so macks holding two fish because they had no one to take the picture. so will being a capturer; a documenter; a lover of memories; has taken the position of photo taker. and mack is holding both his and will's fish. that is why he is holding two. his boybestfriend is behind the camera. thats also how you can get macklin celebrini to smile so big. put a pretty suntanned blonde behind a camera.

[lillian-nator001]

New CCM ad with both Ryan Leonard and Macklin Celebrini. They have to have like talked, y'know. They both so vaguely yet intimately know each other. If I saw my college best friends high school best friend I'd go say hi. I'd talk to her if the only person I knew in the room was her, I'd stick by her.

So what are they talking about? I have to think it's like 'you'll never guess what stupid shit smitty pulled this weekend'. And Ryan's telling recent boston stories and old USNTDP stories. Will Smith is the link between the two. They're making fun of him constantly. Then they're doing like ice breakers type of information sharing.

Mack telling Will over the phone "Yeah I spent the whole weekend with Ryan, we even went out to dinner together."

"Ryan who?"

"Leno, dude."

"YOU SPENT THE WHOLE WEEKEND WITH LENO WHAT DID YOU TALK ABOUT WHAT DID YOU DO WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN DID YOU TALK ABOUT ME DID YOU STARE INTO HIS EYES I KNOW HES TALLER THAN ME MAN BUT HES A CAPITAL HES STUPID WHAT DID YOU SAY DID HE PULL MOVES ON YOU — MACK DONT HANG UP"

[pucksoflife]

oh so will is in vancouver 🥹🥹 besties boyfriends reunited after a long three months

[pucksoflife]

oh i'm a little obsessed with his lil meepy smilessss and his pretty legs and his super cutieful persona

[pucksoflife]

just read one of the best amnesia willmack fics ever. i'm weepy over it

the patch where nothing grows - itfeelslikefallinginlove

it's not your typical person a gets hurt and loses their memories; person b has to live with the concept of having them in their orbit but not to the same calibre; person a gets their memories back

will doesn't get his back. and i love this because he starts a new normal. he falls in love with mack again, and creates new memories. it was written so beautifully. the heartbreak from mack, having will alive but not having his will. having will near but not being able to touch him.

i was hopeful he'd get his memories back but it was so gut wrenchingly beautiful he didn't

if i could give this author a million kudos i would

[pucksoflife]

reading into how intense torturous the ntdp was is really makes me wonder why ppl were so concerned about smitty not being in vancouver for training with mack. im sure the intensity of his trainings are drilled into his head; he doesn't need mack like ppl think.

anywho. im sick to my stomach. this shit needs to be shut down.

[pucksoflife]

whirlpool-blogs has amazing content of the insanity that is/was the ntpd

thank you soo much, im definitely diving in

[kitchensink3804]

CH2 of once more to see you (aka willmack breakup fic)

"Fuck it. Mack dials the most familiar contact on the list.

One ring.

God, he just wants to kiss Will senseless and sing his praises and repeat “you did it,” and tell him “it’s my turn to tell you how amazing you are and to take care of you.”

Second ring.

And once he hears Will’s voice again, he’ll feel a bit more okay. Will’s shaky voice and the warmth that bubbles up straight from his chest, pitch skipping around from disbelief, something that cannot be restrained. 

Third ring.

Pick up, pick up, pick the fucking phone up, Will.

The tiny sip of lukewarm beer left in the can looks disgusting now, and Mack tosses it in the trash.

Fourth ring.

Press that green button, Will, or I swear to God…

Fifth ring.

I swear. I swear on everything that is holy, on everything you consider holy. I’ll do anything. Please pick up.

Sixth ring.

I love you. I love you. Please pick up. I want to tell you that I’m proud of you and that I love you. Please let me.

A brief tone. 

“The number you have dialled is not available,” fading into ringing stillness.

And with the blazing disk called the morning sun peaking over the horizon, Mack bursts into tears. He cries so viscerally his stomach aches and his muscles get fatigued.

The two hemispheres of his visual field blend in the middle. The overlap of the Venn diagram looks like someone took one too many heavy-handed brushstrokes to a canvas. And it smells the way it always does after crying: pungent lemongrass, dowsed in soiled rainwater, sour like it grew out of a rotting body underneath."

[271wcpsmrc271]

It’s the way people think Mack and his ex are back together because one person on tiktok decided that with no proof, but if you can maybe see that Will and Mack might be dating because of how they act now, you’re somehow an evil person

[mutilatedtodeath]

this is actually frying me so fucking bad. could he have chosen any tighter shorts #urawhore
