    Ilya: ???!!!!

    Jane: Oh my god
    Jane: I’m sorry that is hilarious. What happened to your shirt?

    Ilya: you tell me!!!!

    Jane: I mean, it was in your laundry pile, so I probably washed it with the rest of the clothes.

  4. HARRIS: Today you’ll be reading thirst tweets about the other.

    HOLLANDER: No.

    ROZANOV, delighted: Oh! This will be fun.

  6. Shane Hollander (!!!!!!) frowns. "You're Oliver Holmberg," he says, and politely doesn't glare at him like he's scum on the bottom of his shoe when Oliver gasps at the sound of his full name (which, his full name (!!!), has never sounded so fucking good, holy shit, Young's gonna shit himself when he tells him about this later) coming out of his mouth. "Are you looking for Ilya?"

    "Ilya?" Oliver repeats, dazed beyond belief. He sort of wants to ask if the world's swimming for everyone, or just him. "Who?"

    Shane Hollander looks abruptly, immensely pleased. Oliver has no idea what he's said to make him look like that, but he'll do anything for it to happen again.

    OR: In a world where there is no outing of Hollanov, Oliver Holmberg stumbles over the big secret twenty-four hours before it's set to be revealed.

  7. "What’s going on?”

    “Not much,” Ilya says breezily. Everything is okay now that he’s talking to Shane. Everything is perfect. “Just hanging.”

    “Just…hanging,” Shane repeats skeptically. “Sure, yeah.”

    “I miss you,” Ilya says, because this is crucial information that Shane needs to know. Though, there was something else he was supposed to tell him…

    “Oh, I forgot to tell you. We’ve been drugged.”

     

    Or: The Ottawa Centaurs unknowingly eat laced brownies, and Ilya Rozanov really loves Shane Hollander.

  8. “I turned the other cheek every fucking time. I still got tossed on my ass the second I went too far over the line, and threatened by the commissioner, and told to kill myself on just about every social media platform because my nightmare that I’d get outed came true. And you, after everything you did, got to come out to a supportive team and fans, get a slap on the wrist, and have your happy fucking ending.”

  10. HOLMBERG, reading: “Who are the Ottawa Foals?”

    YOUNG: This makes us sound like a YouTube dude-bro house.

    LEVIN: The hottest men in the league.

    JONES: We all know it’s Shane. You know it’s Shane based on the fact you have a [BEEP]in’ poster of him on your door.

    LAPOINTE: The Ottawa Foals is the name of the young core on the Ottawa Centaurs. It is mostly rookie players still on Entry Level Contracts but I am on my extension contract with the Cens. So I’m not a rookie anymore.

    or, the foals do the wired autocomplete interview. luca has a miserable time

  15. Shane Hollander ✅ @shanehollanderofficial 
    I’ve seen many publications over the years speculating on my own, and my husband’s, hockey stats and accolades in relation to our romantic relationship and when the public assumes it started. 

    We don’t owe this to anyone. But we’ve also been playing professional hockey for seventeen years and we’ve both run out of ahem, cares to give.

    On the right is a photograph from the behind the scenes of our joint CCM advertisement in July of 2010. This photo predates the hundreds of combined accomplishments listed on the left. 

    Oh, and it was also taken about six hours before our first kiss. 

    -----

    or; a year from retirement and out of fucks to give, shane reveals their timeline to twitter in response to the latest speculatory article on their relationship. hollanovs across the world rejoice, centaurs celebrate their beloved dads, and former teammates share the not-so-subtle clues they missed the first time.

  18. There's another baby photo trend going around social media, and since the last one went over so well, Harris wants the team to try it. It's the one where they put a statement about an adult over a picture of them as a baby, like a cherubic little baby Ilya captioned "THIS IS WHO PUNCHED A REFEREE." But this time, the Centaurs staff are getting in on the action, and Harris shows his own version to the team as an example.

    When Shane sees little tiny Harris, he's struck literally speechless. He's been hanging out with Harris since before he was officially a Centaur. How did he never recognize that the team's social media manager was his favorite teammate from junior skills clinics? How did he not realize, with the benefit of hindsight and also knowing his sexuality, that Harris was his biggest childhood crush?

    (No angst, no cheating, no insecurity. It's all good times and fond memories here!)

    JONES: If ten million fire flies.

    YOUNG: Lit up the world as I fell asleep.

    HOLMBERG: I like to make myself believe.

    VAN DER BIJ: That planet earth turns

    LAPOINTE: Slowlyyyy.
