It's been so long since I was in the hockey rpf fandom and like
I love how even in all those years and it's been like 10+, the type of fic for some of the pairings is still the same. The vibe of the fics for the pairings (romantic/platonic/somewhere inside or outside of those) all kind of hit the same.
Sid and Geno: Oh, there you are. I've been looking for you.
Jamie and Tyler: I think I can finally find a home in you.
Toews and Kane: Everytime they mention you, they're going to mention me too.
TK and Nolan: I don't think I could ever get tired of you.
And the new ones to me that already have their own.
Connor & Leon: You're the only one I want to do this with.
Nico and Jack: I am constantly impressed by everything you do.
Jamie and Trevor: We just keep finding our way back to each other.
Nate and Makar: Very few things have caught my attention the way you have.
Auston and Mitch: You took my breath away and I don't think I'll ever get it back completely.
Will and Mack: They're never going to be able to untangle my name from yours.
just a list of fics that make me wish i could wipe my brain to experience them all over again that i read in feb :)

WILLMACK
significant lover by linearity (110k)
while on IR, will gets a boyfriend... i first came across this fic a while ago and was immediately drawn to it when there were about two chapters posted i think?? but when i started reading chapter one i very quickly realised it was absolutely going to consume all of my thoughts for the foreseeable future so i forced myself to very (im)patiently wait until it was completed and i’m so glad i did!!
i had to split my reading across two days and during just that sub 24hour wait i felt like i was going about my day with a hole in my chest because i have never ever felt so viscerally bad for mack in any fic before or had so much sympathy for The Way He Is. my heart was clenching so much during the first chapter especially… just heart wrenching reveal after reveal :’’) and had literal physical bodily reactions to mack always putting his foot in it. this fic is just so painfully relatable my chest ached so bad. i wanted nothing more than to stay up all night and consume this fic into my very being but the wait just made everything hit so much harder.
it’s so glorious seeing both sides of the miscommunication in this fic, i feel like i don’t see that too often and it was done so well because i was begging the both of them to please for the love of god use their words the whole time!! everything turns out amazing, willmack endgame. they are truly so insane and flawed about each other but that doesn't matter to them!! smut is so hot and the softness that follows it entirely worth the wait, the build up is absolutely delicious. sorry will's bf! you were always gonna pale in comparison :) <3
Bloodline by countthestars (124k)
historical fantasy abo! willmackleno but still hugely willmack centered. omega mack must marry will and produce an heir to the throne. beautiful worldbuilding and of mack opening up and falling in love with will. will is so lovely the entire time. leno element is an amazing bonus and so clever and i shall not say anymore... i urge you to read🫶

I'll try and stop her stride by crawsley (50k)
reread this recently but just had to include it because i can't believe we get so much of this wonderful crazy fic!! like 50k worth of alpha jamie fucking all of trevor's friends so good that they won't shut up about him?? trevor slowly losing his mind over it and his nerve holding out about it?? the plot twist?? ugh, love it so so much!

this is still a wip but i must simply yell about how much i already love this fic! follows tom and wyatt's journey to making the stars team very accurately. lots of wonderful first meetings and getting to know each other. wyatt gets kind of completely besotted and knows exactly what he wants with tom, but it's fine because tom get's completely besotted too <3 can't wait for more of this
