Summary
“He just wants so badly for RJ to be okay. That’s it. Because if RJ’s okay then that means that Macklin’s done his job. Absorbed all of his brother’s grief and sadness like a sponge until he has it all and RJ carries none of it.
But life isn’t that simple, and grief doesn’t work like that. If you’re not careful, the blackness of it sticks to your bones, fills the cracks in your heart until you’re half human and half something else. A monstrous thing. There’s no way to absorb someone else’s sadness, not entirely. It just keeps coming, unending and all-consuming.
You have to let them feel it.”
Or,
RJ Celebrini is drafted first overall to the San Jose Sharks in 2029 and billets with veteran Will Smith (Hockey) for his rookie year. Macklin is RJ's legal guardian and brother, unravelling and rebuilding in the background of his brother's first year in the NHL.

Summary
“He can picture the watch face cracked, the glass shattered. Hands stuck in time.
Mack hasn’t talked about what it was like for him in the aftermath, not entirely. Will had gotten snippets from Toff and Mack—as much as they think he can handle, presumably.
He wants to know, though. Wants to know exactly where to pay his penance. How many Hail Marys he needs to do to absolve him of the grief and guilt that still lingers on the periphery.”
They talk about Mack’s tattoo and Will tries to not self-implode.

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.
