Summary
In July, Will Smith is traded to Calgary.
He sits across from his coach and nods in the right places and says the right things, and the whole time the floor is quietly dropping out from underneath him. Prior to this, he had a plan. San Jose. The rebuild. A future he'd let himself believe in without ever saying out loud who was at the center of it.
He texts Mack that night. He waits two hours. Yeah. That sucks. But you'll be good up there.
Nine words. From the person who has been the fixed point of his life for years now. And then silence, the kind that doesn't stop, that stretches through August and September and October while Will settles into a furnished Calgary apartment with a hollow feeling he's gotten very good at carrying. He stops checking for Mack's name on his phone sometime in August.
The Sharks come to Calgary for a game on a Tuesday in November. Will has not been thinking about it for six weeks. It's just a game. He's fine.
Then he gets hurt, and he opens his eyes, and Mack is already there.

Bookmarker's Notes
Or maybe it had only ever been Will. This was the thought that settled lowest and coldest, the one that did the most damage. Maybe the line he'd thought they were constantly tethering hadn't been a line at all. Maybe Mack had just been his friend, straightforwardly and without complication, and Will had spent two years building an architecture of feeling around something that existed only on his side of it.
A great player and a great guy.
Maybe that was exactly what he was to Mack. Nothing more, nothing less. Maybe Will had just been too close to see it clearly.

Summary
Toronto Maple Leafs @ San Jose Sharks
Pride Night
April 2, 2026"It hits Will then. Mack already knows. He knows, but how much does he know?
Will has imagined everything, and he chokes on the largeness of his own feelings. It was never like this with Lenny. He never imagined a future as something-more-than-friends with Ryan Leonard. Content to have him, touch his warm skin, chase his laughter out of his mouth.
Mack is a different story. He pictures them winning a Cup or two together as Sharks most nights when he allows himself to think about it. Their tarps being raised to the rafters together. A huge house and a gated driveway. A dog. A summer house on the Cape.
He wants it all, deep in his bones, but he knows he’d settle for the Cup and the rafters. Anything to make Mack happy."
Or the one where Will has a lot of feelings about tape and his best friend.

Bookmarker's Notes
Will on the other hand is not immune to scrutiny. In fact, he thinks his association, his relationship, with Mack makes him more prone to being put under a microscope. If Mack doesn’t score, it’s his fault. If Will scores, Mack made it happen. If Will’s a homo, he’s poisoning Mack’s brand.
He would never tell Mack this. He carries enough weight on his shoulders. Atlas meet world.
“Okay,” Mack cuts through his incoming panic attack, “I’m making this decision for you. You’re using the fucking tape. Just the blade. You don’t have to give an interview. You don’t need to even smile. Use the damn tape and then swap out your stick, who gives a fuck. The tape sucks in a game anyways, I doubt any of us will use it on the ice. Twenty minutes and some pictures in the locker room, Smit, then you can go back to being scared of whatever the fuck you don’t want me to know.”
He’s startled back to reality. The parameters are set now. And he’ll manage to work within them. Mack’s given him structure and an out. God, he’s so fucking in love with him.
