Summary
"Oh." Hollander has gone a little red, beneath his freckles. "I am from… French Canada? Québec? Do you know? Very… very small town there, no English, only French. I try to learn, but— is a bit hard."
Ilya feels mildly stupid. He knew, obviously, that they speak French in Canada, but he didn’t know it was, like— some people’s only language. He’d sort of assumed everyone was fluent in both.
"Huh. Cool."
"Your English is very good," Hollander offers.
Ilya laughs.
"I mean, yeah— I grew up in Minneapolis."

Summary
It's Shane Hollander's first season in Ottawa, and the whole Centaurs roster is playing better than they ever have. So why won't the press focus on that? Why do he and Ilya keep having to answer questions about their marriage, and not get to talk about the incredible start to the season that their team is having? Maybe if they do one podcast, with hosts who are normal people, they can just tell their whole story and focus on bringing the Stanley Cup to Ottawa.

or, Shane and Ilya do a sports podcast run by lesbians for members of the LGBTQ+ community, and the internet reacts.

Summary
“And why is a Russian prince inviting me to his matchmaking party? Do they need gentry chaperones or something?”
“No, no, and it’s not a party, it’s a whole series of affairs, it’s…Shane, you’re invited as a candidate. A marriage candidate.”
Shane pulls the phone away to make sure the line’s still connected and he hasn’t accidentally started watching Downton Abbey or something.
Prince Ilya Grigoryevich Rozanov meets Shane Hollander, Duke of Montreal.

Summary
“Troy likes that, yeah.” Ilya said. “But why does that matter?”
“Because he’ll be our guest?” Shane raised an eyebrow.
Huh.
“No, Ryan and Fabian are coming this weekend.” Ilya corrected.
“No… this weekend is Troy and Harris.”
“Look, I put it on the calendar.” Ilya said, pulling out his phone. “See, it says ‘visit’ with a little pride flag.”
“I thought that was Troy and Harris!”
“Why would that be Troy and Harris?” Ilya said, bewildered.
“Because they’re also gay?” Shane said, exasperated.
“I would put a pride flag and an apple for them.” Ilya shrugged. “Or like a hockey puck or something.”
