    Cliff Marleau knows how he's perceived.

    Publicly, he's Cliff Marleau, #7, Captain of the Boston Raiders. On ice, he's imposing. Never dirty, but aggressive. Off the ice, he's your typical hockey himbo: big, loud, funny, maybe not the brightest.

    Privately, to his teammates and friends, his reputation is a bit more rounded, more filled out. A good friend, a loving son. Serious when he needs to be. Reliable, trustworthy.

    But he knows, he knows, the picture his reputation paints.

    And he knows what it leaves out.

    Ilya and Shane host a party for the start of this year’s Irina Foundation camp.

    --

    “The man doesn’t have any shame, that’s the thing." Marly grins, arm draped over Roz’s shoulders. “Therefore, it can’t be done. Rozy can’t be embarrassed. My money is safe.”

    “Nobody has ever won? Really?” Shane asks, smiling.

    Roz stares across at his husband then shrugs. “You are bluffing. Is fine, go ahead. There is nothing anyway, you can’t win.”

    “Well, I was just thinking,” Hollander says, “that the guys might be interested to hear that you...have a type?” Marly could swear Shane’s eyes glanced in the direction of Scott Hunter. Could swear too that Roz tracked the movement.

    --

    Shane gets competitive. Scott Hunter learns more than he bargained for. Marly is determined to be a really fucking good bro.

    Marleau had a fun thing going on with Rozanov, back in the day - those nights were the hottest of Marleau’s life. Girls and booze and occasional… stuff, between them. It wasn’t weird or anything. But he kinda… misses it? He’s not sure why it stopped.

    Until he catches Rozanov with Hollander; all at once, he’s got answers to questions he never dared ask… as well as a whole lot more questions. And an invitation.

    “We do not say anything about the Hollander situation,” LeClaire tells them even though it sounds like he’s already resigned to what he knows is going to happen.

    After all, Roz gets extremely mad whenever it’s brought up. Not that Cliff can blame him, he’s pretty sure that Roz liked Hollander before this (wouldn’t chirp him half as much if he didn’t). Finding out that he’s such a bastard must sting.

    Not to mention that Roz does not mess around with people that disrespect girls. Or women. Or kids. Or dogs. Or the elderly (excluding Scott Hunter). Or really anyone, if it’s for petty stupid reasons.

    “Of course,” Cliff agrees for both of them since Roz is still too busy texting someone.

    It’s apparently not good enough for LeClaire because he asks, “Roz?”

    “Just one second,” he answers without raising his eyes from his phone or stopping his typing. “Need to get my Jane to agree with something. She’s very stubborn.”

     

    Or. My take on the 'their text leak and now everybody thinks that Shane is an abusive bastard' premise. Featuring Ilya giving a presser, Marly realizing in real time who 'Jane' is and the internet reacting to the craziness.

    Cliff would probably remember if he was there when Ilya met a woman so earth-shattering that he would chase after her for nearly a decade. Probably. Cliff thinks he would probably notice something as life-altering as a meeting like that. Who on earth is this woman and how did they find each other? Did Cliff watch Ilya’s life change before his eyes and not even realize what was happening? In the fall of 2017, Cliff Marlow notices evidence of Jane all over Ilya’s apartment. He decides to investigate.

    Cliff watches him squeeze the phone between his cheek and shoulder, lifting the jersey over his head as he continues to talk, a bit distracted now by the multitasking.

    “And was good practice, you know, for when I am your husband."

    Immediately, the locker room goes dead silent. And so does Rozanov, in fact.

    In which Ilya accidentally calls himself Shane's future husband in the middle of the Bears locker room. Worse still, they're not even dating yet.

    Roz’s Montreal girl. The girl who’d one had him show up to practice covered in cat scratches. The same girl, if Cliff has to guess, that Roz has been texting since his fucking rookie season. He decides to go for a hail mary.

    “Bet your girl’s happy about the shorter commute, huh?” Roz’s eyes snap to his, wide with shock. Cliff raises his hand in a placating gesture. “Relax, brother.”

    “Yes,” he says, “she is.”

    Cliff Marleau has known about Ilya Rozanov’s relationship since Ilya was twenty-two. 

    It’s not like it was complicated to put the pieces together, is the thing. When it all comes out in public, the Raiders have various different meltdowns – Twitter explodes in a way that is sort of unprecedented, and breaks out of the hockey specific Twitter spaces the same way that the Scott Hunter thing did. There’s shitty headlines and queer space headlines, and it’s a whole thing. And Cliff is pretty sure he’s the person least surprised about it. 

    But here’s the thing. Cliff Marleau has known Ilya Rozanov since the kid was eighteen. 

    OR:
    Marly's not as oblivious as everyone thinks. Throughout his time knowing Ilya Rozanov, he picks up on some things nobody else seems to be seeing. He keeps his mouth shut about it.

    So Jane, huh? Cliff’s mom had always called his eldest sister a ‘plain Jane’ when she didn’t want to get her hair done and ‘dress up nice’ for family shit. He didn’t think Rozanov’s Jane sounded very plain. Sure, Cliff had fucked a girl wearing his number, they all had. But apparently this chick had enough balls to not only tell Roz no, but enough clout to threaten getting him into her Montreal jersey too. He grinned as he headed to the showers. Whose number did she have? One thing he could be sure of was that it wouldn’t be fuckin’ twenty-four.

    Or: Five times Cliff learns something about Montreal Jane, and one time he learns her real name.

    Over the summer, Cliff Marlow made the decision to leave the team he won a Cup with, his hometown, and the only place he'd ever known to move to a different country, a terrible team, and basically the middle of nowhere.

    And so far, he hasn't regretted it for a single second.

    Or: a continuation of i know the sound of your heart showing moments from Cliff and Ilya's first season with the centaurs, a couple of shocking revelations (though they really shouldn't have been), and, of course, Cliff Marlow being the most loyal friend anyone could ask for.

    Hammer: Connors requested staff info from the Metro’s to track down a Jane that worked for them
    got in trouble with management for it
    they thought it was for harassment

    Connors: Marly told me you’ve been in love with Jane since your cup-year, at least
    said you almost killed yourself when she broke up with you and something about a tuna sandwich

    Carmy: we’re trying to spread out the Roz anger? Gravy sent shirtless pictures of Roz to that Latvian guy

    Gravy: we agreed to no more Jānis mentions in the chat!

    Roz: fucking stop it! all of you

    OR

    Roz is abandoning the team and the country for his secret girlfriend. Cliff would LOVE some more intel on Jane but Roz has never been forthcoming. At the very least Cliff can make sure that Roz's last few weeks are nothing but fun and games!
