so shane goes along with it, because the most important thing is getting ilya back. he says yes, rozanov, i love you too, i want a life with you. yes, we can do that. yes, i’ll meet you here. i’ll fly out after the game. but sometimes he says things like i love you, ilya. i’ve got you, ilya. we’ll figure this out, ilya. and hopes that he Understands what he’s saying, if he can even hear him, that this demon might be acting for him and talking for him but shane DOES love him, the real him, and he IS doing his best to figure it all out.

eventually he gets marlow (italian catholic, so he knows he won’t think he’s crazy) to help him, because he’s ALSO noticed that shit is off with ilya, and through marlow gets sveta involved. rose played a possessed nun in some horror flick a few years ago, and happens to have the number of an actual vatican-approved exorcist. they have a groupchat and everything. so there ARE people who think it’s weird when he and shane just vanish, when they both stop answering their phones, etc etc. so they mobilise the troops and figure out theyre at shanes insane sex condo (demons are too old to know what find my friends is) and demon is Definitely trying to enact its plan to Kill Shane And Make Ilya Watch

omg yes and also he's stress eating like he's never done before and gains like 5 pounds. hardly anything but when shane gains weight it always goes to his face first so yuna notices his face is just slightly more round than normal. she notices everything that no one else would, she's his mother.

so she asks if he's changed his diet and that sends him off the deep end even though she was only asking because she was GLAD, her and david always thought shane was way too restrictive with himself when it came to food but now shane is weeping at their dining room table and mumbling about snickers bars and did she hear something about rozanov? nah, couldn't be.

Heated Rivalry Week 2026 Day 3: Favourite Kiss/Hug

skipping the line at the club

getting out of a traffic ticket (most successful in Boston)

getting out of a drunk and disorderly charge (this happens twice during the Rose Landry era)

in bed with Shane (Shane will later deny how loud this makes him moan)

skipping the wait at swanky restaurants to take his husband on dinner dates (most successful in Canada)

delirious to Yuna after she beats him at a 6 hour long round of monopoly

getting his children the hot new sold out toy for Christmas

Imagine Scott’s at an all star game, drunk off his ass at the bar. Shane walks in and leans on the bar and Scott notices that Shane’s not wearing his wedding ring. Shane always wears his ring off the ice, there have been fucking articles about how Ilya wears his on a chain and Shane doesn’t

Scott audibly sighs and Shane looks over at him. Scott’s too drunk not to say, “Fuck, sorry, I’m just so glad I’m not alone. When did it happen? It was the fucking media, right? That was part of it for us. All this pressure to be perfect. Who can live up to that?”

Shane’s like, “Uh. What?”

Scott’s like, “Sorry. Probably still fresh, huh? It is for me. I’m just glad I won’t be the only gay divorcé in the league. Hey maybe we could time our announcements so they come out at the same time? Soften the blow for each other? Or, no, that could get political fast” Scott keeps drunkenly rambling on

first of all they absolutely rate each others nudes, sometimes they send them not even with the intention to send the nudes so someone else, just for the hell of it, just to have the other saying hell yeah brother looking good, just to boost self esteem

second of all while the idea of them 10/10ing each picture is funny and appealing to me, i had a vision in which i saw the most meticulous earnest constructive criticism in order to help the other achieve absolute perfection

-(a dick pic, full light) move your hand down a bit, will make it seem bigger and maybe turn down the light a bit, give it an aura of mystery

-(navel to mid thigh, a giant hickey right where the pubes line starts) damn roz, who did this to you? (ilya says you should see the other guy. marley doesn’t catch on)

-(mirror selfie, full frontal) marley don’t you have a mirror outside of the bathroom? the toilet in the background is a bit of a buzzkill

-(hands down pants, dick fully erect) love the vibe but there is a giant hole in your boxers, maybe change those
