i've been asked where/how to find early-mid 20th century images of black people to reference when drawing/writing/whatever, so i figured i'd link to my own personal resource anyone is welcome to utilize! :)
with over 900 pins and counting, this pinterest board focuses entirely on black style from the 1800s - 1970s. it’s been harder than ever to research historical fashion without running into AI, misinformation, and flat out mislabeling of different eras, so i’ve done my best to represent each period as accurately as i can.
i’ve included sections for non-caricatured art and illustration, print media, music, entertainment, styling tools, and ads. there are also sections for period pieces and more modern takes on vintage style. i did not add the 80s and 90s because there's already a wealth of imagery and information about those decades, but maybe one day :)
*NOTE: i am not a professional archivist or historian! just a black american passionate about my history. as such, this board is heavily centered on black americans and afro-caribbeans, although there are photos from across the diaspora, including africa and the UK.
*additionally: pins on pinterest come from all over and may not always have the correct information, depending on who uploaded it. while i’ve taken great lengths to research undated photos, some categorized pins are educated guesses based on the hair, fashion, or photography style of the photo. uncategorized pins are photos i can’t confidently connect to a specific decade without potentially mislabeling.
with this in mind, this board acts as a handy visual guide, but should be used in addition to your own research. happy researching! 🖤
Here it is, the promised HR fanfiction rec list! As it often happens with my rec lists, it might grow later ;)
all the things he did by HR (blankjournals)
Summary:
4 times Shane was strict with Ilya and the 1 time he wasn't ft Ilya having an emotional crisis over it.
and i spit out the seeds by linearity
Summary:
A video of Shane sucking Ilya’s dick is leaked. Over the next twenty-four hours, Ilya goes on an odyssey.
at the lonely end of the rink, you and me by vahosi
Summary:
The first time Ilya coughed up a flower, he was kneeling over a toilet in the penthouse of the Fontainebleau Las Vegas, for entirely the wrong fucking reason to be kneeling over a toilet in Vegas.
There was no point in trying to pretend it wasn’t happening. He wasn’t an idiot. Hadn’t he seen his own mother waste away, coughing up clumps of clean white chamomile stained shocking scarlet? Hadn’t he known, on some level, that he was fated to follow in her footsteps one day, to throw his entire heart and soul into loving a person who would never — could never — love him back?
No, Ilya knew what this was. He also knew he’d never set foot on the ice again if anyone found out.
Blindly, he reached for the toilet paper, wiped his mouth, and then flushed the whole thing. Petals, too. He didn’t want to know what kind they were. Pizdets. It should’ve been a fucking maple leaf.
❁ ❆ ❁ ❆ ❁
the Hanahaki AU, in which Ilya loves Shane Hollander’s stupid face so much it makes him sick (literally)
NEW The Bench Bay by hotpocketss
Summary:
“You know,” Ilya adds, like he’s continuing a casual thought, “Hotel was good idea. It’s warm, no ice, no… audience.”
Shane’s grip tightens on the strap of his bag, but he still doesn’t respond. He keeps skating, eyes fixed ahead, pretending the words don’t land even as heat crawls back up his neck.
“But no,” he continues, clearly enjoying himself. “You choose rink, very bold.”
“Fuck off,” Shane exhales through his nose.
Ilya keeps talking as they slow near the boards, skating lazy circles around Shane like he has nowhere else to be. “Next time,” he says mildly, like he’s already planned it, “We use a hotel. I promise, much less… scandal.”
_____
Shane and Ilya get freaky on the ice, LIKE LITERALLY on the ice during the All Star Game week.
be neighborly! by steelknuckles
Summary:
Ilya's new neighbor is annoying. Sucks that he's ridiculously handsome, and good at cooking, and Ilya might be falling in love with him.
Big fish, little fish by penpen_xo
Summary:
Shane had schedules to stick to, regimens to maintain, plays to study, drills to perfect.
He needed to eat the same thing, every day. Train in the best way to keep his mind and body fit by keeping to strict programs. He needed to stick to his plan so that he could ensure that everything also went, well…to plan.
He needed all of these things to fall in place otherwise— well he tried not to think too hard about the otherwise. He couldn’t let otherwise happen.
Basically he’d treated his body like a fucking temple for majority of his life and had no problems with it yet— And then he turned 30.

Shane is mortified. He is also very, very turned on.
can't rush the dawn before it is time by Wretchedheart
Summary:
It was supposed to be a joke, okay? It was supposed to be funny, and they were all supposed to get a laugh out of it. Despite all of his protests, Hayden had thought he could get Shane to see the humor in it once he gave in. Except the longer Shane decidedly didn’t find it funny, the less entertaining it became for Hayden as well.
Hayden hadn’t ever actually done a deep-dive into the whole Hollanov internet obsession. He wasn’t prepared to have the cornerstone of his worldview be destroyed by a youtube compilation video.
--
The Montreal team watch a Hollanov compilation on youtube, for fun, and realize some things.
careful all the time by Anonymous
Summary:
“I was thinking about the honeymoon phase thing.”
“Yes?” Ilya said.
“I think it’s different for us. I don’t want us to be all blissful and then only start fighting when we’re back to barely seeing each other. I think it’s good if we figure things out now, when we have the time. Whatever needs figuring out. So we have a solid foundation going into the season. Sort of like training camp.”
“So this means you will keep getting mad at me for things,” Ilya said.
Shane smiled, rolled his eyes. “Yeah, exactly,” he said.
“Good, I find it very hot,” Ilya said, and kissed him.
An insecure over-thinker and a self-destructive secret-keeper walk into a relationship.
clear to a hedgehog by magneticwave
Summary:
Every Boston Raider knows that although their captain has a girl in every port, he’s got a soft spot for the one in Montreal. Dr. Shane Hollander knows it’s better to have a semi-regular source of casual sex than try to make a relationship work during residency. Ilya Rozanov knows that the doctor he’s fucking in Montreal is unaware that he plays hockey, and in fact probably thinks he’s Bratva.
Concussion Protocol by cjr2
Summary:
Instead of Shane, it is Ilya who suffers a concussion during the Boston-Montreal game in April 2017. Dazed and agitated, Ilya briefly starts speaking and responding only in Russian and the medics can’t calm him down. Luckily, Shane started studying Russian after Ilya spoke to him in Russian on the phone from Moscow. For no particular reason. Certainly not because he’s fallen in love with Ilya Rozanov.
In Montreal with lingering concussion symptoms, Ilya is advised not to fly home for a few days, and the hospital won’t release him without assurances that he has someone to stay with him until his symptoms improve. Luckily, Shane conveniently has a condo in Montreal no one knows about and a few days before he has to travel again.
But Ilya’s symptoms don’t resolve after a few days. Which is okay; Shane can handle it. He can take care of Ilya, study Russian, lead his team into the playoffs, and keep Ilya’s continued presence in Montreal a secret. He can do everything, no problem. He is Shane Hollander after all.

A whump fanfiction that is secretly a fix-it.
Detained by FestiveFerret
Summary:
"Did you see what happened to Rozanov after the game?"
Shane's head snapped up and he lost his rhythm on the rowing machine. He slowed to a stop so he wouldn't hit himself in the face. One of the weight benches exploding wouldn't be enough to pull his attention away from his teammates' conversation.
"No, what happened?"
"Dude got fucking arrested."
Dig Two Graves by devovitsuasartes
Summary:
There’s no humor in Shane’s voice. It’s cold, hard, determined. “When we meet them on the ice next season, I want to fucking destroy them.”
After a moment, he feels Ilya nod thoughtfully behind him.
“Is good plan. Let’s fucking destroy them.”
The Montreal Voyageurs won't stop slinging mud at Shane in the press, so Shane and Ilya decide to get revenge the best way they know how.
enforcer by @moonlitsgarden
Summary:
Ilya knows there is a thing about himself he has to always keep hidden in the deepest recesses of his body, behind his molars and in his core. He thinks Shane Hollander might be the same, except the thing about him he cannot hide.
Ilya Rozanov is the biggest hockey talent of his generation. So is Shane Hollander.
But over the years Ilya notices that the vicious media and the clamouring fans and some of his more foul-mouthed teammates treat Hollander differently than any other hockey player.
everything that kills me (makes me feel alive) by asocialconstruct
Summary:
The photo is blurry, timestamped 2:17 AM, but there's no mistaking Ilya Rozanov walking into Shane Hollander's building the night Boston wins in Montreal.
By morning, it's everywhere.
--
For five years, they've been careful. But one fan with a camera phone unravels it all, and suddenly Shane and Ilya have to answer questions about what they are besides rivals. Shane's team wants him to deny everything. Ilya's family demands the same.
Canon divergence where the secret comes out three years early, and Shane and Ilya have to decide if what they have is real under intense media pressure. Set right before the tuna melt game would have happened.
NEW for a split sec, I was a train wreck by Anonymous
Summary:
Never mind the next two weeks, the next eight hours stretched endlessly in front of him. He had no idea how to occupy his time. His house was basically empty, which sounded sad but was really a good thing, evidence he’d built himself the life he wanted – where he always had something to do, outside and with other people. Ilya had been restless for as long as he could remember, had never been able to sit still. He’d gotten in trouble for it as a kid at the dinner table and he got in trouble for it as a full grown man on the team bus. He’d gotten in trouble for it when the doctors had been trying to take the x-ray, his leg jumping without his permission.
Ilya gets injured, stops leaving the house, loses his mind, learns to read tarot, and sends Shane Hollander a lot of photos.
from the cold by stammiviktor
Summary:
It’s winter in Ottawa and Ilya has hunkered down in his big, empty mansion to weather a nasty flu. Then his phone buzzes.
— Guardian™ Security Alert: Movement detected at front door
— (1) Missed Call: Yuna Hollander
Or: The Hollanders have a new son to take care of. Ilya has no idea what’s going on.
Gold Rush by joannabobanna
Summary:
It’s usually on nights like tonight, when sleep evades him, that the worry starts to creep in.
Because what about a year from now when the Centaurs have just barely eked through another season with the barest handful of wins and the Voyageurs have won themselves yet another cup? Or in three years from now, when Shane is closer to his forties than his twenties, and he realizes that his entire list of carefree, youthful romps with his preferred gender is made up of one nervous fumble with Mexico top and Hollywood blowjob guy each and then all the years with Ilya?
And somehow, somewhere between the inky darkness of Ilya’s sleepless night and the bright, early morning trip back home to Ottawa, Ilya resolves to propose...an arrangement.
Because what did it matter if Shane had meaningless sex with other men as long Ilya held his heart, right? And if it preserved Shane’s happiness in the long term…if it kept the already delicate Jenga tower of factors that dictated their relationship from finally toppling over…then it was the obvious choice.
Right?
Or the one where Ilya proposes opening up their relationship: a deep dive on that one scene in chapter twenty-one of the The Long Game.
Holding Patterns by thecouchsofa
Summary:
“Do you want to know how it feels?”
Shane let his hand fall back to the couch. He pushed himself up onto his elbows and lifted a brow at Rozanov. “What – holding the Cup? You’ve already made that joke once.”
“No.” Rozanov’s fingers encircled Shane’s wrist and then he was pulling Shane’s hand between his legs.
Or: Shane tops.
i can take a little bit more by bee_slut
Summary:
It starts out like a good night would. Shane pressing him against their bedroom wall, kissing alongside his jaw and his neck, it’s usually an indicator of when a good time is about to turn even better.
Except.
Today has been…off.
Ilya Rozanov vs. Canadian Vocabulary by Honeybees_n_flowers
Summary:
“You named your coin after the stupid wolf bird?”
“I didn't. The country did, I guess. I don't know, I never really thought about it.” He paused for a second, then smirked. “A two dollar coin is called a toonie.”
Or: Four times Ilya Rozanov thought a Canadian word was stupid, and one time he was on Canada's side.

Summary:
"Whose dick was Hollander gonna fuck her with anyway?” O'Connell says.
“What’d you mean?” the other guy asks.
“Asian dick, man.” O’Connell pinches his forefinger and thumb together. “No fucking chance that thing is big enough.”
Is plenty big, Ilya nearly says, before catching the tip of his tongue between his teeth.
is it the same for you? by notwritinganovel
Summary:
Shane releases what feels like his first exhale in forever—Ilya Rozanov, taken out by the common flu. Not ignoring him. Not ending anything. Still, the knot in his chest doesn’t ease completely with the vision of Ilya unwell and alone in Shane’s head.
JANE
Are you at your house?
LILY
Where else, Jane?
JANE
Don’t fall asleep. I’ll be there soon.
LILY
No, am sick. I told you.
JANE
I heard you. I’ll be there soon.

Little More Close by maplesalad
Summary:
“Okay. You want to say no, you want to fight me. Pretty boy, all alone in his glass house. You want me to force you?”
He didn’t need Shane to answer, really; Shane was fully hard against Ilya’s thigh and pink under his freckles. But it was best to be direct about these things. And he wanted to hear Shane say it, anyway.
“I—yeah. Make me. Is that too weird?”
The Long Way Home by kooksie
Summary:
Shane can’t stand his college roommate and teammate, Ilya Rozanov. Can’t stand his arrogance and his messiness and his constant sleeping around.
But then the entire team, Shane included, welcomes their families to campus for Parents Weekend.
And Shane also can’t stand that Ilya is alone.
NEW lover of the russian queen by satorussuguru
Summary:
Ilya cannot help the wide smile that breaks out across his face. "You ran here," he says, reaching out to smooth Shane's rumpled clothes, fingers working the chewed-up hoodie string free from his mouth while he sits very still and watches Ilya with wide eyes. "Across many states and up four flights of stairs—where are your grandma candies?—to ask if I have secret baby.”
loving this body by beetlesandstars, kryptonian
Summary:
Ilya picks up on the third ring, breathing heavily into the phone. Shane hears a door slam shut through the device. “Do not yell at me.”
Shane stares at the half-empty bottle of vodka on the coffee table. “You suck.”
“I suck? I scored hat-trick! In your stupid body! I have not eaten in six hours, Hollander. I have not pissed. I have not laid down. I want to go home.”
“Rozanov–”
“Your mother has called twenty times. Your manager has called thirty times. Your father text me picture of crossword puzzle and ask for help. Clue is about American President from the 1980s. I cannot help!”
OR: the hollanov bodyswap fic.
the lucky one by beetlesandstars
Summary:
Tomorrow, he'll call Shane and apologise. He'll fix what he broke. He doesn't want Shane to be angry at him anymore.
He doesn’t remember swerving to avoid a merging truck.
He also doesn’t remember hitting the tree.
Or: Ilya gets into a car accident. Shane is there to pick up the pieces.
magnolia & heartache by magicjohnson
Summary:
“When did you start feeling like this? Did it come out of nowhere or you think something happened?” she asks.
“It started in Detroit in December, last year. I do not remember it from games in Vancouver and Edmonton before that.”
“Do anything out of the ordinary then?”
“No, I do not—” he comes to a complete stop, and Ash walks ahead of him for a few steps before turning.
“What? What is it?”
The picture swirls in front of him like vibrant water colours splashing on a canvas. Cliff beckons him over to where he and Victor are perched on their bikes, and Victor holds his phone out to him. The headline is clear: Is Rose Landry dating MLH star Shane Hollander?
A pit forms in Ilya’s stomach, cramping uncomfortably as if carved with a rusted knife, and distantly he recalls feeling the same way back in December.
There is no fucking way that’s been the problem.

morality clause by canadadry
Summary:
Morals Clause: A contract provision that may be used in endorsement, spokesperson, and similar agreements to give the advertiser the right to terminate the deal, seek damages, or remove branding if the individual engages in actions bringing disrepute, scandal, or negative attention, protecting the brand's image and financial interests.
Yuna does her research—apparently, a morals clause is common, in contracts like this.
It bothers her, a little, how vague it is, but ultimately, she doesn’t see an issue with it—at least, not really.
Shane is many things, and she is so, so excited to see how much more he becomes… but, for all of the many things she imagines in his future, she doesn't think he's capable of doing anything that could be accurately described as scandalous.
She's wrong.
NEW 911, Jackie speaking by camiii
Summary:
“Jackie?” Shane’s question cuts through the silence, and Jackie winces at the frantic rasp of his voice.
“Right here, honey.” She tries to keep her voice light, wrapping her hand around Hayden’s wrist and meeting his worried gaze over the phone. “What’s going on?”
“I need your help.” Shane croaks out. “They called, but they won’t - I need to know if he’s okay, but they won’t tell me.” The end of his sentence disappears in something so close to a sob it makes something in Jackie’s chest freeze over.
no one noticed by residentrookie
Summary:
It's the night of the Boston vs Montreal game, and Shane Hollander isn't letting whatever illness he's contracted stop him from getting out on the ice, no matter how sick he actually is. Ilya Rozanov, it seems, is the only person who notices.
Whatever that means.

Our Captain, Their Problem by Bruja_oscura
Summary:
Ilya Rozanov has a "tiny car accident" (his words). Shane Hollander has a full-scale, system-shutdown panic attack about it. Meanwhile, a horrified Hayden is praying for someone to throw him in a lake and tell him that this is all just a big joke, or maybe for a meteor strike; he is really not picky. J.J., on the other hand, is trying to bleach the image of his sweet captain making out with Ilya fucking Rozanov from his brain.
It's a very normal day for the Montreal Canadiens.

a simple case of mistaken identity by LiarsandThieves22
Summary:
"What could Hollander possibly need with Boston social media lady?” Rozanov asked.
“Shane’s in love with her,” Hayden said.
Rozanov’s face did something very weird.
--
Or: after becoming a bit obsessed with solving the Mystery of Boston Lily, Hayden thinks he finally has it figured out. She must work for the Boston Raiders. Now all he has to do is find her next time he's in Boston and tell her that her and Shane shouldn't have to hide their relationship.
Problem is, the only person he can find is Ilya Rozanov, and Rozanov is being a real dick about the whole thing.
NEW Sinking While Swimming by CaffeinatedFlumadiddle
Summary:
“Maybe you don't have to-”
“Uh-uh. No backtracking now.” Hayden pointed a finger at him. “If you tell Shane, fantastic. Would love that, quite frankly, but until you do, I want those goddamn pictures, Rozanov. Am I clear?” Ilya wanted to make some quip about Pike trying to get a different kind of picture out of him, but given the circumstances... He just nodded. “Good. My kids tragically love the fuck out of you, so figure this out.” Ilya nodded again. “Alright then.”
Silence followed. Ilya eventually got up, and Hayden awkwardly walked him to the door.
“Ilya,” he said, surprising him with the first name. “I know what I say doesn’t particularly matter, and I am mainly just a fail-safe for this situation, but…” He opened the front door and clicked his tongue. “For what it’s worth, you’re a good guy and don’t deserve the shit your brain apparently puts you through.”
"I'm a married man, Pike."
Or
Ilya’s depression shifts into some self-harming tendencies, despite how well he can justify most of it. An unexpected cavalry comes together.
(AKA I found a story filled with sex and decided to hone in on my other favorite things: mental health and complex family dynamics)
something you can fix by some1_around
Summary:
Maybe if the video ended there, Shane thought, it would be okay. Okayish. Still incriminating. Still a fucking disaster. Still embarrassing, to have his breakup with this beautiful actress filmed and disseminated on Reddit of all fucking places, but not a nail in his coffin, burying him alive. But the video didn’t end there.
“Can I ask if you’ve ever been with another guy?” she had to ask.
And he, tears visible in his eyes, had to nod.
Just once. Just a single nod.
Why did he have to nod?
“Have you ever told anyone that before?” He shook his head. “Was it different? With a guy?”
“Of course.”
Of course.
“Was it better?”
“Yes.”
+++
Shane’s conversation with Rose is secretly recorded. Months later, after the All-Star game and Ilya’s confession in Russian, the video gets leaked online. Shane is outed to the world while Ilya is in Russia, and must now finish the 2016-2017 season with the entire world in on his secret.

NEW Sun in an empty room by theaa (WIP)
Summary:
Shane wanted to hold Ilya’s hand. He wanted to touch something that wasn’t the edge of the exam table, which he currently had in a white-knuckled grip, fingers curled around the edge. Ilya was worried, and Shane had made a mistake in banishing him, and he felt bad about that, and about the oddly sympathetic way the doctor was looking at him. Shane had never felt comfortable being pitied.
“My knee’s fucked,” Shane continued, a little more flatly; under control. It’s what he’d suspected deep down, after all. “And so I can’t play hockey. I’m done.”
they say it's my fault but I want (him) so much by HR (blankjournals)
Summary:
He needs to move, maybe get Rozanov’s attention before he loses his nerves.
And then the room tilts. His vision narrows, red light smearing into pink and white streaks. Shane staggers. The beer slips from his fingers. It shatters, foam splashing his shoes, glass skittering away. His knees give out like someone kicked him, and his hands shoot forward to hold himself upright.
His left palm lands in broken glass, though he doesn't feel it. What he notices is the certainty that everyone sees, that they can smell him—something sour and wrong. His scent, despite patches and care, has turned exposed.
OR: What if we took the club scene from episode 4 and had Shane collapse from experiencing Omega Rejection Syndrome after seeing Ilya dancing with someone else?
Til They Retire Your Number by technicallyverycowboy
Summary:
They lapse back into a comfortable silence. Shane looks at Ilya as he is and thinks about Ilya as he was at seventeen, smoking in the back of a Saskatchewan parking lot. The image is almost unbearably tender for Shane, where his own seventeen year old thrill at seeing Ilya Rozanov meets all the things Shane knows about that lonely boy now.
Shane thinks: Do you love number 81 more than you love this man?
"Hey," Ilya says, brushing his knuckles over Shane's cheek. "Whatever I do, I will be there when you come home."
Ilya decides to retire. Shane is very normal about it.

United Front by kooksie
Summary:
After Russia crashes and burns at the Olympics, six months pass where Ilya cuts Shane out completely, refusing to answer his texts. So when they both get booked for yet another ad campaign, Shane arrives on set with a strict plan to ignore Ilya entirely.
But then he learns the premise of the entire campaign: making fun of Ilya’s English.
It will take a lot for Shane to forgive him, sure. It won’t take nearly as much for Shane to stand up for him.
we'll be afraid of nothing by satorussuguru
Summary:
“Game is over,” he says. “You won. I lost. I was annoying. Normal.”
“That’s not—” Shane starts, then stops, because he actually doesn't know how to finish that thought without sounding like an idiot. His jaw works, teeth grinding together.
That's not what I meant. That's not the point. You said I was boring and you were right and I need you to say it again so I know where I stand, so I know what you think of me, so I can stop waiting for the other shoe to drop.
He settles for: “You were kind of an asshole.”
Well, That Happened by Franks22
Summary:
“Jesus Christ.” Shane says with feeling.
“Mm, Jesus Christ.” Ilya Rozanov’s voice pipes up behind him.
“Oh god.” Shane says with feeling.
“Yes. Oh god.” Ilya Rozanov’s voice pipes up from behind him.
“Oh shit. Holy fucking shit.” Shane says, swaying a little where he stands. “Am I dying?”
“Pretty sure is panic attack. Place head between knees.”
It was placing his head between knees that got them into this predicament in the first place.
Or
How far can Shane spiral after accidentally bonding with his hockey rival?
Apparently, quite a bit.
white collar crimes by Anonymous
Summary:
So Shane Hollander is, how do you say in English, a dirty little thief. A clothing thief, to be precise. Ilya can't say he saw that coming, but he also can't pretend he's all that mad about it.
His shirt looks good on his Shane. On Shane. On Hollander.

@inthehatussy - TT has a lot of Shawn content and is a new follower of mine and I of hers! Has a lot of great content.
Hiiii! Not as many as i thought i would, and several are mostly focused on the girls and celine's relationship to them, but here's what i got, in no particular order:
No grave can hold my body down, by @idontknowmanijustlikereading
It's the first of a social media series where Celine has a hard drive full of old songs she's been writing and recording for over 20 years, and the girls convince her to release some. It's amazing. Goes from sad to funny to painful. Celine is an absolute troll and also in need of some therapy.
Regrets in my reflection by @xanthera
Mira and Zoey show up to yell at Celine. Mira does some yelling, but Zoey is watching and listening and realizes some painful similarities between herself and Celine.
To listen to your messages, press- by @jtl07
This fic is 521 words long and it will punch you in the face and leave you staring off into the distance.
I couldnt whisper when you needed it shouted by kai_the_first
The conversation under the tree they had That Night and how Celine had to live with it afterwards.
Grim Nostalgia by frohana
Listen, this wip is not technically a celine fic, it's definitely rumi-centric, but the latest chapters have celine and rumi talking things out and it has SUCH an interesting take on Celine and her past and her relationship with hunters as a concept.
Like a game of telephone by @secondtolastrow
More rumi focused than celine focused but really really good. Celine tries to call Rumi after That Night
obligatory rpf disclaimer: do not share this outside fandom spaces. do not crosspost to twitter/tt/etc. please be normal so i can continue sharing these <3

♡ The Lesbian in the Basement by polyabathtub | E, 7.5k, 1/1 chapters
“I’m hoping him and Mack’ll just buy a mansion and I can just live in the basement or something,” Laila says in the interview, obviously joking.
lol, Will replies to Mack.
I think she’s serious, Mack texts.

Will's seen his fair share of rookies. He's used to their cocky confidence, the way they preen when he acknowledges them.
He's never had a first overall before.

“It’s your lucky night, superstud.”
Mack glances up to see Stella tucking a thin stack of blue benjamins into her sparkly star purse.
“Let’s take this party somewhere more private.”
At his blank look, she takes mercy on him, the way she has all night.
“Your friends got you an hour in VIP,” she explains.
Mack blinks, his thoughts sluggish. An hour. In a VIP room. Alone
He looks at Will.
So does Stella. “You’re coming too, Blondie.”

Or, the team takes Mack out to celebrate his record-breaking season.
▷ what you know by @ponyoom | E, 23k, 1/1 chapters
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 not anywhere 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.

i just went out with my brother to get a smoothie and we ran into some college hockey players and so he asked for a photo and i thought one of them was cute so i asked for his snapchat and my brother apologised and whispered to me that they were fucking dating each other

Will waits for him to put his seatbelt on before he starts speaking. “Listen,” he says, all soothing, “Leno and I used to do this thing.”
▷ trust i seek and i find you by jostyards | M, 76k, 6/6 chapters
“Okay. Can you tell me the date, Will?”
Will closes his eyes shut. He shakes his head, his throat tightening.
“That’s alright, Will. Just give me your best guess. What year is it?”
“I dunno. I can’t—” Will presses his eyes tighter. His shoulders shrug in a haphazard, frustrated movement. “I really—I can’t, like—2023?”
(or, the wsh amnesia fic)
▷ no-good thoughts by Anonymous | E, 4.5k, 1/1 chapters
"You’re not fucking me,” Mack says. He thinks about Will’s face. He thinks about how pale he went when Mack took the room.
Leno looks unimpressed. His eyebrows have raised again. “Yeah, we’ll see.”

“You kissed him.”
“Congratulations. Your eyes work.”
RJ makes an exaggerated face of disgust. “In front of me.”
Will laughs as he bends down to grab the t-shirt he'd abandoned on the floor sometime around four in the morning. The shirt catches on the corner of Mack's hockey bag before he yanks it free.
“I think you'll survive.”
RJ points at him accusingly. “I liked you better when you lived in another state.”
“Liar.”
- or willmack are disgustingly domestic, and rj is 13.

The Celebrinis and the Smiths have been vacationing together on Cape Cod for fifteen years. Mack and Will complicate things.
