Interlude: The Ottawa WAGs

by Jockles

Summary

Lisa Hayes has SLEUTHED that Ilya has a somebody.

Notes

I didn't actually mean for this to happen but I wanted to post a thing because I have a lil announcement at the end (well... two announcements) - apologies for the monster author note, have unhinged WAGs as payment.

See the end of the work for more notes

Interlude: The Ottawa WAGs

[🐎 The Human-Halves 🐎]

Jane has been added to the group

~Lisa Hayes: HELLO JANE I hope you don’t mind that I snooped but Ryan told Wyatt that he’d met Ilya’s partner and I got very excited and got your number from Fabian and now you’re here.

~Lisa Hayes: ok when I write it out like that I sound like a crazy stalker

~Selena Chouinard: Salut! I hope you are better at french than Ilya he only seems to know rude words and he says it is your fault.

~Selena Chouinard: and we knew you were a crazy stalker already that’s why Harris likes you

~Harris Drover: I cannot confirm or deny any statements of approval for stalking behaviour

~Harris Drover: It does make my job easier tho when you guys tell me what’s up

~Lisa Hayes: Also Jane not to, like, immediately give you a job or whatever but you’re the captain’s WAG so you’re our captain now

~Lisa Hayes: I don’t make the rules

~Cassie Boodram: Lisa you’ve been here like 10mins and you decided to take charge of the WAGs I don’t know what you think you’re doing if not making rules

~Lisa Hayes: like you’re not delighted to have another W that’s actually active in the chat

~Harris Drover: It’s true so many of the cens are tragically single and yet still straight. they are sent to test me

~Cassie Boodram: It’s ok Harris you still get WAG privileges

~Cassie Boodram: Who would send us the not-for-public photos of our boys being dumb if you weren’t here??

~Harris Drover: You know they wanted to add me to the team chat too?

~Harris Drover: I don’t think I’d survive

Jane: Please join, Ilya is extremely annoying about it

~Cassie Boodram: JANE

~Lisa Hayes: JANE

~Selena Chouinard: JANE

Jane: Je suis vraiment désolé. C'est Ilya. Je ne peux pas le changer. 

~Lisa Hayes: Please, save us poor monolinguals

Jane: Sorry, Ilya does this to me with russian sometimes too

Jane: But hello!

Jane: And if it’s any consolation I also got added to a WAG chat for a team that I have no affiliation with for moral support so this is still not the weirdest WAG experience I’ve ever had

~Lisa Hayes: …I have so many questions

Jane: It’s the Ilya chaos effect.

~Cassie Boodram: Also , correct me if I’m wrong, but… the guys don’t know that Ilya has a girlfriend, right?

~Cassie Boodram: Because I love you darling Lisa, but usually we don’t just make a relationship public without checking.

~Lisa Hayes: … fuck im so sorry shit fuck

Jane: I mean, how good are you guys at keeping secrets?

~Lisa Hayes: I plead the 5th

~Cassie Boodram: girl why do you think these chats exist we must share SOME things so we don’t EXPLODE

~Caitlin Dykstra: If we can’t talk about how dumb our boys are in confidence I think the league would fall apart from the amount of shit that would come out

~Caitlin Dykstra: Also hello Jane!

Jane: Hello!

Jane: So it would be appreciated if you didn’t say anything outside the chat about me and Ilya. There are some good reasons we have to keep our relationship quiet, and it’s easiest if you don’t mention it’s… a thing.

~Harris Drover: There’s lots of good reasons not to want to have a visible relationship with a public figure, even if that figure isn’t as… notorious as Rozanov. We’ve got your back.

Jane: It’s okay I know he used to be a slut you can say it.

~Cassie Boodram: OHHHH

~Lisa Hayes: DAMN SON

~Caitlin Dykstra: Let 👏 Men 👏 Be 👏 Sluts

Jane: Okay but not any more

Jane: I guess other men can be?

~Cassie Boodram: bold of you to assume they haven’t been the whole time

~Cassie Boodram: you’ve met men, right?

~Caitlin Dykstra: Evan was too much of a mamas boy to ever be a slut which is a shame because it took me ages to get him good in bed.

~Caitlin Dykstra: At least Jane will never have this problem

~Lisa Hayes: Try before you buy, ladies.

Jane: Also Cassie, I hear Bood’s gatherings are amazing but PLEASE tell him to let Ilya be, we don’t get a lot of time together during the season

~Cassie Boodram: Aye-Aye, captain.

Jane: Also I don’t have the time to be a WAG captain I happily pass those duties to whomever was doing it before please don’t make me.

Jane: I’ve seen how intense the bedazzling can get

~Cassie Boodram: oh shit she bedazzles

Jane: I DO NOT

Afterword

End Notes

Shane's French: I’m really sorry. It’s Ilya. I can’t change him

I'M PART OF THIS YEAR'S FANDOM TRUMPS HATE EVENT and I will write a Bromance part if asked. Check out my Tumblr for info :D

Which brings me to my second announcement - I love this series so much and want you all to know that I plan on publishing the next two or three small parts (+FTH if relevant), and then taking a bit of a posting break while I write a LONG part that is my Bromance Long Game rewrite (which is where we will see more of Troy and Harris - I know a lot of people are craving them and I promise it's coming!) - I would intend to write most of it before I start posting so that I can post a chapter a couple of times a week, but I need backlog first.

This series has always been building to a 'what if during The Long Game Ilya had a support system' exploration, which is why the previous part took a slightly angsty turn - I am starting to think about TLG angst. For those who noticed my CP easter egg - those guys are also in this universe in my heart and we will be seeing them in the long part also.

I also need to stop writing this series and actually knuckle down with my Big Bang fic because that has definitely suffered against how much I love this series - oops.

The support and love and interest in this series has been genuinely insane I am so grateful to everyone who comments and kudoses and leaves bookmarks and all that jazz - I enjoy reading your comments and replying to them very much (if I don't reply it's usually because I read something that filled me with demons and I started writing again and then forgot I hadn't finished replying, rip. But I read all the comments and I love everyone so much.) Everyone who has left any feedback on any part of this series is my hero and I can never repay you.

As always, you can hang out with me and many other insane nerds that love HR Fanfiction so much in the Game Changers Library Server - if discord isn't your thing you can also bother me on Tumblr. I am a troglodyte that refuses to exist anywhere else online so if you see me in other places it's an evil clone that you cannot trust.

Please drop by the Archive and comment to let the creator know if you enjoyed their work!
