to your hollander family burger yes
Yuna
That's very sweet.

That's funny. I love it.
Our deluxe Hollander family seems about right.

Oh my god.

Ooo. Yeah, maybe not.

Oh goodness.

"Fully Dressed Hollander Family"

Dad!

What? Ilya started it.

Chapter Notes

crackfic timeline territory (I'm saying this particular set is from around 2021/2022) but I like to imagine they were on the wordle trend immediately and never stopped

I could barely believe it!

Oh my god, Mom, really?
Ilya
yes, my lawyers were there to confirm
Yuna
This is serious business.
Shane
You guys are exhausting. It's a word game!
Yuna
A serious word game!
Shane
I think you need an intervention.

Chapter End Notes

thank you for reading and I'll say it every time - thank you for your lovely comments!

out of curiosity - how did you guys find this fic? (through the team meeting series, ao3 filters, direct link from social media, etc). I'm not really on the social media side of the fandom so very interested!

$5 Request

Pay

Shane
What do you need $5 for?
Ilya
$10 Request

Pay

Shane
Ok, what do you need $10 for?
Did they finally kick you off the team for being such an asshole?
Ilya
$1,000 Request

Pay

Shane
I can't imagine the Centaurs have hit their salary cap yet.
Ilya
$10,000 Request

Pay

it won't let me request more than this, boo
Shane
You haven't spent that Boston salary you used to get, have you?
Ilya
what is the point of having rich famous beautiful hockey player boyfriend if he will not send me money?
Shane
I was thinking the exact same thing.


Hollander Family Deluxe

December 3 10:43 AM

Ilya
$5 Request

Pay

Yuna
Do you need $5?
David
$5
Ilya
Thank you Mr. Hollander :)
Shane
Were you going to ask what that was for, Dad?
David
Nah. Let the boy get a McGriddle or whatever he wants. Only off the value menu, though.
Ilya
loyalty test won by David Hollander

David
Ha ha, I just got your envelope Ilya. Didn't have to, but I appreciate it.
Shane
Uh oh, what's Ilya sending you through the mail?
David
A nice, crisp $5 bill.
Love it!
Ilya
:)


Ilya

December 8 3:58 PM

Shane
Ok, I admit it. That was sweet.
Ilya
what did I do this time?
Shane
Repaying my dad with cash. You had to have known he loves crisp bills.
Ilya
actually no
just a guess
I think, what would Shane and big Shane like? and think of boring things and I am usually right
Shane
You like boring.
Ilya
maybe. but do not tell Shane Hollander that.
Shane
Your dirty little secret is safe with me.
And one more thing.
Shane
$10 Request
I also take cash.

Chapter End Notes

what's the point of knowing how to code if you're not going to use your time and energy trying to make your iMessage work skin as accurate as possible?!

if anyone wants the base skin CSS, I used Azdaema's AO3 messaging skin.

Chapter 5: the game is afoot

Chapter Summary

Ilya tries to solve a mystery.

Hollander Family Deluxe

August 1 10:00 AM

Ilya
EMERGENCY
ok not real emergency
STOP CALLING ME
I AM OK
Shane
Maybe don't start off with an all caps text with just the word "emergency"?
Ilya
I just had nice conversation with your mom though :)
Shane
What's your emergency?
Yuna
His last snickers bar is missing
David
I didn't eat it, I'll tell you that much. I'm a Mars bar guy myself
Shane
My eyes rolled back into my brain.
Ilya
It is emergency!!! I left it at Shane's for special treat and now it is gone. I wanted to eat it
Shane
I can stop by the store and get you some more, if you want.
David
I knew we raised a gentleman!
Ilya
that is sweet
but there is still a mystery
where did my snickers go
Shane
You probably ate it and forgot, I'd guess.
Ilya
I remember every candy bar I have ever ate. I did not eat this.
David
Back of the pantry? Maybe Yuna ate it.
Yuna
You're throwing ME under the bus?
I didn't eat it either!
Did Anya get into it?
Shane
God, I hope not.
Ilya
probably not
Yuna
You're sure? Chocolate is bad for dogs.
Ilya
yes I know. I say probably not because I put it in the fridge like 2 months ago
Shane
…
Ilya
what! I checked for empty wrappers around the house
Shane
It's REALLY not an emergency, then.
I'll help you look when I get back to the house.
David
It is an emergency if he wanted to eat it. I'm with Ilya.
Ilya
THANK YOU!


Ilya

August 8 4:31 PM

Ilya
I still think about her…
Shane
Uh
Ilya
:(
Shane
Who?
Her?
Who's 'her' here?
Ilya
my snickers….
Shane
Shut the fuck up.
Ilya
where is she?
Shane
Candy bars don't have a gender.
Ilya
is she sad I did not eat her?
Shane
Ok, fine. I ate it.
Mystery solved.
Ilya
I do not care what you say, I know you did not eat her
Shane
I'm not in the business of eating any 'hers' at this point in my life.
Ilya
I have a murder on my hands and you do not help me
Shane
It's been a week.
Actually, it's been two months and a week.
You're a terrible detective.
Maybe stick with the hockey.


Ilya

August 12 8:12 PM

Ilya
my mortal enemies are behind this somehow
Shane
I've restocked the fridge for you. All the cold Snickers you could ever want, and more.
Ilya
:)

I love you
Shane
I love you too.
Ilya
you think moose came and broke into your house?
Shane
You know what? Sure.
Ilya
maybe stupid canadian wolf birds
my mortal enemies
they conspire against me
Shane
Definitely.
Thirteen loons in a trench coat.
Ilya
I knew it


Ilya

September 3 9:19 PM

Shane
Jackie's inviting us over for dinner again. Are you free next Friday?
Ilya
Hayden Pike will not be there?
Shane
Yes, Hayden will be there.
Ilya

Shane
Hayden's just part of the deal, I'm afraid.

Ilya

wait
Shane
What?
Ilya
Hayden Pike.
Shane
Yes…?
Ilya
my murderer.
Shane
What the fuck are you talking about?
Ilya
my snickers murderer.
you just reminded me
he was over at your house in July, yes?
Shane
Yeah.
You think he ate it?
Ilya
I think you said "take anything you want from fridge" and he stole and murdered my candy bar
he is evil, evil person
Shane
Take it up with him.
Ilya
death penalty


Hollander Family Deluxe

September 18 5:44 PM

I'm at the edge of my seat.
Yuna ate it, didn't she?
Yuna
Hey!
Ilya
the Pike twins stole it when they came to Shane's back in July
Yuna
Very sneaky!
Ilya
I am so proud.
Shane
They kept giggling while Bad Cop Ilya was questioning them. Good Cop Ilya proceeded to give them both another Snickers.
