Summary
Stage left, Bood and Wyatt. Downstage, Luca and Dykstra were recruited to keep him busy until everything needed to be said was said. Let it not be said that the Centaurs were not committed; they had already had a dress rehearsal with Luca standing by Ilya’s locker, for Bood and Wyatt to practice a volume that could at once be overheard easily, but seemed conversational, so that it may be easy to think they did not realise others could hear them.
"What was it you were saying the other day? That Hollander seemed fond of Roz?”
(or, Shane and Ilya have some very well-meaning friends. Friends who don't know what they think they know.)

Bookmarker's Notes
In the spirit of a Shakespearean comedy, Shane and Ilya get married really soon after this. And they live happily ever after...
This started wayyyy crackier. In my first draft, Wyatt spoke exclusively in Leonato's lines. There are still some remnants of that. Also, I was originally going to more closely follow the plot of the play, and include stand-ins for Claudio and Hero, but I just couldn't get it to work. I thought of using Troy and Harris, to follow the timeline of The Long Game/Role Model, but I didn't want to make one of them Claudio because then they would have to be evil :( Same thing with Rose and Svetlana. Obviously, neither of them is going to be that hung up on a little extramarital kissing. By the time I realised Troy and Adrian would have been perfect, I'd already written this.
Also for the FaceTime emoji feature, this was introduced with ios17 in 2023, three years after this all takes place. Suspend your disbelief please! Also ignore the fact that my five acts don't map on to Shakespeare's structure...
"Mr Backhand" is a reference to when Beatrice refers to Benedick as "Signor Mountanto", and I also tried to follow the structure of the gulling scenes at least.

Summary
Shane has a rare opportunity to surprise his boyfriend in Boston. He does not think about what could happen if Ilya comes home with one of his teammates instead of alone.
"“What the actual fuck” Cliff heard himself say. Shane fucking Hollander was in Roz’s front entryway with no fucking pants on. He barely registered the sharp inhale of his captain behind him and the door shutting. Hollander was just standing there like a deer in headlights. And he was wearing a Boston jersey."

Summary
Chapter 24 of The Long Game, with a twist.
Ilya’s phone breaks during the plane’s emergency landing. He’s fine, but he has no way of letting the Hollanders know right away without outing his relationship with Shane. Considering their recent fight, he figures it is best to wait until he can contact Shane discreetly, which takes a few hours.
Shane finds out about the accident, and can’t get a hold of Ilya. His first thought is that he may have lost him forever and will never recover from it.
The second is that he should have told everyone the truth about their relationship.Bookmarked by ButterflyBri

Summary
When Ilya goes down with a knee injury two months into his and Shane's first season together, they're both terrified their long-awaited chance to play together is about to be cut short. Thankfully, the injury isn't nearly as bad as it first seems and recovery ends up being far more interesting than expected when Ilya joins a new exercise class with a mildly flustered instructor, and accidentally gets adopted by a group of elderly women.
