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

timeloop fic!!!! ahhhh, i'm such a sucker for these and this was done so well!! what if you had to relive one of the worse days of your life over and over again? at least your favourite person is there to help you figure it out!

wanna share forever with you, baby by pucksdeep55 (45k ongoing)

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

Write Our Names On the Wall by twentysomething (16k)

wyatt rolls his eyes just thinking about it. he knew hockey was a superstitious sport, but he wasn’t superstitious. sure, he had routines he liked to stick to on game day. for example, his pregame nap, his and tom’s warmup "ritual" as mush had called it (air quotes included), or the fact that he kept his bread in the toaster for precisely one minute and fifty-five seconds, (no, it was not because tom’s number was fifty-five. he had developed the habit back in juniors, where his number had been fifty-five, thank you very much.) before spreading raspberry jam out from the top left corner of the toast. okay, maybe that last one was a bit superstitious, but whatever.

but tom? tom was a whole different breed of superstitious. he had his pregame nap, a playlist of terrible country music that he listened to, and his pregame meal. these might sound normal to anyone, but he also routinely had to put his left skate on before his right, tape his stick from bottom to top, and then take his hat off eight times, in the span of a minute.

so yeah, tom was superstitious alright. which is precisely why wyatt would be skinned alive if he said they were winning it it six games. this is precisely why wyatt keeps his thoughts to himself as tom stretches his arms over his head, yawning widely, and barely managing to avoid hitting wyatt in the face.

tom grunts out a “good morning” before burying his head back in his pillow.

wyatt smiles and leans back against the headboard, watching the man next to him, the rising and falling of his chest, the way his nose scrunched up as he fought the urge to itch it, the small bit of drool that left a trail of white from the right side of his lip all the way to his chin.

it was domestic, in wyatt’s opinion. he liked it that way. waking up in tom’s bed to tom’s morning antics. sometimes he would wake up and watch tom sleep. other times he would get up, under the guise of using the restroom, only to be bullied back into bed by the older man.

“morning, tom,” wyatt smiles, reaching out to scratch the other’s nose gently for him.

tom smiles but keeps his eyes closed, even as wyatt moves to brush his hand across the rest of his face, taking extra care to rub his thumb over tom's lips and scratch at his beard. wyatt loves that smile, reserved only for him, for when he’s stretched out next to wyatt like the over-sized feline he is, legs at their full extension and toes curled.

wyatt just loves theses parts of tom that only he’s graced with. he loves tom’s competitive smirk for when he’s got wyatt pined against the boards during practice or when he’s chasing wyatt around his apartment, trying to keep him from sitting around and moping after a loss. he loves tom’s face after he’s kissed it raw, his lips flushed the same color that his cheekbones have been perpetually stained, his hair a mess under wyatt’s hands, eyes soft and smile bright.

he loves tom when he chirps the guys on the ice or in the locker room during games. he loves tom’s downturned face when one of the guys takes him down a peg, reminds him he’s not invincible. he loves tom’s dedication to his work, to the sport he loves, and how he always strives to become a better athlete each day. he loves that tom likes him. he loves the constant gravitational pull between the two of them. (and yes, wyatt’s a smart boy, he knows that technically all beings and objects have some sort of gravitational pull towards each other, but his and tom’s felt stronger, somehow.) he loves the way tom always seems to stick next to him when they go out with the team for drinks. the way he knows when wyatt’s had one too many and wordlessly leads him to and uber, then up to his own apartment.

mostly, wyatt just loves tom. but tom doesn’t know that, doesn’t need to know that, anyway.
