Relationship: Macklin Celebrini/Will Smith Hockey

Tags: AU - Alternate Universe, Will Smith is not a hockey player, fluff, angst, angst with a happy ending, mutual pining, slow burn, Sharksmin support staff Cinematic Universe

Mack doesn’t just wear his heart on his sleeve—it’s a red foil balloon bobbing cheerfully above his head, a banner being pulled along by a twin turbo plane, a giant blimp projecting his thoughts for miles around to anyone that dares look up.

Or, in Mack’s second year with the San Jose Sharks, Will Smith, 21, starts as the team’s newest Communications Executive. Mack falls first, Will falls harder—and the rest is history.

hi nonnie!

i have put some angsty fics here and hurt/comfort fics here so make sure you have a look through there - there are definitely angsty will fics there! i just dont want to put them here to be constantly repeating myself and give you and everyone else the opportunity to find new fics! 🫣

as always if anyone has any recs drop in the replies or in my asks and i’ll add them to the list!

that being said, have a few will specific recs:

“the fifth first kiss” by lilliesinwater - will gets stuck in a time loop of his 21st birthday. this has been on my mark for later list for a while! but lilliesinwater does angst really well (see: the song of achilles fic, which is also will angst) so i believe this one would be just as good!

“your emergency contact has experienced an emergency” by lilliesinwater - another lilliesinwater fic but it’s so good!!! will goes to rick to get his blessing on proposing to mack… had me in tears

“‘cause it gets harder to see me, the closer you try to look” by fatefullymisery - will has a really shit day and ends up locking himself in a hotel stairwell

“the marriage chronicles” series by fediesxx - i’d recommend one or two specific fics but i believe you need the context of the whole series to understand will’s angst!

“i even renewed crave” by ughihatemakingusers - will gets sick going to see mack :( just sweet fluff but will’s going through it

“you are anonymous, i am a concrete wall” by anonymous - will mourns the death of one of his friends

introduction

"That I have loved only you [...] That I love the way you hold me, how close you let me be to you. I like your fingers on and on, lifting, turning. I have watched your face for a long time now, and missed your eyes when you went away from me. Talking to you and hearing you answer – that's the kick.

chapter 8 is up ✨
