When everybody loses their minds, our job here is done

Chapter 5: Step 5: Forever

Summary:

It was a perfect day. There were puppies, Russian Wedding Bread and Tteokbokki. And so many more questions that need an answer NOW! ... Okay, great! Thank you ❤️

Notes:

This chapter happened sooner than expected 🙂 I decided to leave the user comments out this time and focus on the posts on the wedding. The fans will play the main role in the next chapter 😊 Let's get the boys hitched. Remember, this has already happend in their timeline, it is Monday now, one day after the Great Hollanov Reveal of 2018.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Vanity Fair🏒 Yesterday, hockey mega stars Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov have broken the internet. Retirement, coming-out, engagement and then marriage: Fans, journalists, social media managers alike got caught in a riptide of breaking news and could only hope to hang on for dear life. Along the way, the insane unravelling of this forbidden love story between the (former) captains of the Stanley Cup winning teams Montreal Metros and Boston Raiders reached the general public in lightning speed and made headline news everywhere.
One post on Reddit got famous on its own, explaining the scope of the story to non-hockey-fans as "Imagine, if Ronaldo & Messi or Jordan & LeBron ran off together". Speaking of: Shane Hollander's announcement, that he and Rozanov are indeed already married, is currently at number eight on the list of the most liked Instagram posts of all time, right behind an entry by Lionel Messi. And it's only been a day. Although some fans mourn the fact that a few of the more unhinged hashtags were deleted in the meantime.
People are adding 🏒 to their usernames to show their support of the newlyweds. Meanwhile details on the wedding and the whole relationship, that has taken the world by storm, are still scarce. But looking at how yesterday went, we are sure that Hollanov, as the couple has come to be known, will share details soon. #HollanovWeeding #ShaneOUT #IlyaOUT View all 15.128 comments July 9, 2018

Hayden Pike Buddy, I am so proud to be your friend ❤️ Me, Jackie and the kids were so honoured to be able to share this special day with you. Sorry again that Amber kidnapped the little Wiener for a minute. I took a video outside in the woods in the evening and later realized that you two were in the background, thought I'd share. #ShaneOUT #IlyaOUT #Hollander-RozanovWedding #Ilya&Shane View all 13.909 comments July 9, 2018

Cliff Marlow🏒 Guys, it's been a while but I still cannot get over how wonderful and emotional and funny that weekend was. Thank you for including me early on. It was bitter sweet seeing my captain prepare to leave and the Cup was soo close this season but Ilya has made the greatest score anybody could achieve and I am grateful to have witnessed it. Also, the snacks were insane. Love you both. #ShaneOUT #IlyaOUT #Hollander-RozanovWedding #Ilya&Shane View all 93.119 comments July 9, 2018

Reddit🏒 We are happy to announce that hockey stars Ilya and Shane Hollander-Rozanov will host a "Ask Me Anything" session on Reddit this Wednesday, July 10th, at 1 p.m. EST. Get your questions ready! #HollanovOnReddit #HollanovAMA #Reddit #ShaneOUT #IlyaOUT #HollanovWeeding #Hollander-RozanovWedding #Ilya&Shane View all 1.810.955 comments July 9, 2018

Notes:

Yes, next chapter will be the Reddit AMA 😊 I have lots of questions already (of course) but it might be fun if you share yours in the comments. Let me know if I should/could use your AO3 username or if you would like one of those already mentioned in the fic or just invent one. I can't promise to use all of them, there are limits to the code, but there always might be a part 2 😇 The next chapter will take me a bit longer because the html is a bit more complicated but I've already checked, it works with the Insta work skin.

And yes, here Ilya was the one who proposed. I really didn't care but the screenshot fit well, that's the only reason. Also no Rose. Shane never met her. I thought about sending her to the wedding as Svetlana's plus one but that might have been a bit much.

Notes:

Use the Creator's Style!

If you use a dark mode work skin and cannot see the Instagram posts properly because the font is too light: Highlight the text in your browser and you should be able to read it.
