When you look at someone and you know you see them completely.

When you’ve seen their most ecstatic cellys and their lowest teary-eyed crash outs. Spent lazy hotel mornings watching movies in bed and crazy evenings out clinking glasses. Been there through the 115 point season and the crushing Olympic loss. The silent late night bus rides with sides pressed together and the incessant chatter and chirping in the locker room. When you’ve seen the way he fits in with your family and the way you are with his. Been part of all his daily routines in hockey and outside of it. Memorized the tooth gap and the soft floppy brown hair and the sparkly green eyes. When you’ve seen every part.

And you can’t look away.

They had yet to even speak to each other.

Turns out that’s exactly the way Mack looks at his little mouth breather every fucking time they are on the ice together. Or bench. Or playing sewer, on a podcast, at a community event, team party, interview, national anthem. You name it.

He met him that first day at dev camp. And he just kept looking. I don’t think he’s capable of stopping, even if he wanted to

Original post

I was successfully rage baited yesterday, apologies people. So here is my peace offering: Mack definitely being in the same room at that interview, he’s blushing so harddddd and will just bring the proudest guy in the room of Mack. That clip where he fell and lowers his head because he’s literally like “thank god” i can’t get over it 🫠

i'm starting this new post as a source for any extras about the CNS-verse! so far it includes player info cards for the 2040-41 sharks, a projected lineup, and a timeline of key events mack has missed in travelling to the future :)

the timeline is under the cut in case you haven't read at least chapter 1! all art is the work of the wonderful @applejaymi (please show some love!!) <3
