A writer's place.

Simon is just considering it, he's not actually going to do it… right?

I never post anything of my own on this blog, and now the first thing I'm posting is this thing.

PART TWO? Maybe

Mark, forgive me.

They wear suits, but they don't even know basic etiquette.

"Si? Where'd you go?"

"Sorry angel, I'll be right there!"

*Simon turns back to the camera with a glare*

"This is NOT over"

After the baby is born Shane and Ilya start seeing each other again and Shane is worried that

1) Ilya will be mad he didn't tell him about the baby and

2) that he'll decide he doesn't want to be their dad

Something something commitment and Parental trauma and babytrapping angst

And then Shane brings the baby to a hookup in Boston (in this au Shane moved to Ottawa first because the Metros did not like that he had to take time to have a baby and when he was pressured to get rid of it Shane was angry and quit and posted the recording of the conversation online so the Metros is got an overhaul but Shane traded to Ottawa anyway) it's late enough when he arrives that it's almost baby's bedtime, feeding routine and then sleep so Ilya doesn't have to/get to interact with baby and Shane is not reading into the nursery Ilya shows him because he heard that Cliff is recently married with a baby on the way and that's Ilya's best friend so of course he's got a room for the kid and Shane doesn't keep the door open for the routine so he doesn't see Ilya hovering at the closed door separted from everthing he's always wanted.

Anyway Shane and Ilya have their fun but Shane is a single parent and while his parents and the team sometimes help he's still the main caregiver and exhausted, so he pretty much passes out after they're done and Ilya doesn't want him to leave so doesn't wake him.

So, when baby cries down the hall Ilya shushes Shane and gets up, he changes a diaper and rocks baby, murmuring is soft Russian that quiets them immediatly, almost as if they recognise the sounds.

And Ilya spills a secret he never means anyone to know.

'I wish I was your Papa, then your Daddy wouldn't be so tired, I'd do anything you needed, never leave you or your Daddy behind. I'd love you so much more than I already do, little one, just like I love your Daddy.' By this time baby is asleep and Ilya settles them back in the bassenet and turns to go back to Shane only Shane is crying in the doorway because Shane learned Russian so he could teach the baby their father's language so he understood everything Ilya said.

And well, Shane tells him the truth and why he was worried about telling him and then being scared of Ilya being mad and the reason that Shane even gets to bring the baby along on trips is because they've had threats from fans and Crowell and it's better to have Baby close because the Centaurs are very protective of them so.

Ilya is a little upset but also worried because Shane has been dealing with so much on his own while still caring for their child and after Shane falls asleep again Ilya starts making plans to move to Ottawa and be there with Shane as often as he can, the Boston team will understand, they already know he's been in love with Shane since Ilya had got drunk after the baby was announced as having been born, crying and drunk on Cliff's couch saying he should have been with Shane as support and calling the baby his and theirs so when Ilya makes his announcement later they all just assume he's the dad that stepped up, and just nod when Ilya says stuff like 'No, is my baby, for real' and say 'Yeah, we know they are your baby' and 'yep, you make that same face' when the baby is pooping, and are loving teasing but none of them even think Ilya means genetically because aside from the curls baby looks just like Shane, which Ilya loves of course but his genes didn't even try did they.

I know my prompt has Shane and Baby going to the Centaurs but my brain keeps telling me to have Shane get traded to the Raiders and I want opinions about it.

Update I posted the fic.

“simon sees grace as an angel! simon thinks he’s in heaven!” do you know how fucking scary that is

I’ve fallen victim to the crossover ship of a lifetime. (I’m writing a fic of them called Missing Piece by smol_ghosts. This was a thank you I drew for the support it’s gotten ❤️)

What if Grace made a lopsided crochet Rocky and cuddled it every night.

What if Rocky couldn’t stop making xenonite puppets of his alien friend.

ilya: if they could just put their minds off where i put my dick and into where i put the puck, maybe they would notice that it is going into the goal

interviewer: shane hollander, do you have any comment on your husband and captain’s rather coarse language?

Shane: *Is wearing glasses and Ilya´s sweatshirt, gives a glare at Ilya and Ilya is just so turned on by him*

Ilya: *Shows Shane their 2 year old daughter that looks exactly like Ilya, she has dots all over her face, she "stole" Shane´s permanent marker from his office and "painted" freckles on her cheeks* I took my eyes off her for a minute and she grabbed the marker. She says she wanted to look like you.
