Summary
The hot mic incident was just the beginning.
Now the internet watches in real-time as Ilya’s Spotify playlist gets leaked (with NOTES), Shane attempts subtlety (narrator: he fails), they bicker about boy bands on late night TV, someone admits to having a ring for six months ON TWITTER, and approximately 20 different social media platforms collectively lose their goddamn minds.
Featuring: journalists having breakdowns, Reddit threads that require moderator intervention, TikTok compilations with 1.2M views, brand partnerships from Skittles, a plague of engagement speculation, and two hockey players who cannot stop being chaotic disasters on main.
The fandom was writing fic about them. Turns out reality is messier, queerer, and somehow MORE unhinged.
[or social media reacts to the week following the Hot Mic Incident™, told entirely through tweets, Reddit posts, Instagram stories, podcast transcripts, and the world’s most romantic Spotify playlist]

Summary
Shane’s propped up on some pillows, arm in a sling, bruises blooming on his face, squinting against the daylight, but alive. Alive, and conscious, and - not alone.
Ilya swallows, eyes flickering between Shane, two people he recognises as Shane’s parents, and Hayden fucking Pike.
They all look at him with surprise, and a little hostility. Pike actually starts to rise from his chair, poised to, what, defend Shane? As though Ilya would track down an injured player to a hospital bed to cause more trouble?
He’s ready to just turn around and leave, but Shane’s managed to focus his eyes on the door.
“Ilyaaaa!”
-
Ilya visits Shane in hospital. Shane already has other visitors.

Carlos goes viral (amazingly not a sickfic) by afiendishthingy

Summary
In which TK records a video of Carlos, and things get a bit out of hand.
“Drop the phone,” Carlos tries now, as though TK is an armed criminal.
“Uh, no, Carlos, I’m not trying to crack my screen, you’re the one who’s always telling me to be more careful,” TK replies blithely, sliding his phone into his pocket.
“Nope! Jonah, go! Tickle attack, get him!”
While Jonah pounces, TK unlocks his phone again and sends the video to Andrea, then to his dad for good measure.
“Time for ice cream!” Jonah screams in Carlos’s face.
“Only if you stop tickling me! And TK doesn’t get any.”
TK and Jonah gasp in horrified unison. “That’s not nice, Papa.”
“Yeah, Papa, that’s not nice,” TK echoes.
“You’re not nice,” Carlos says darkly. “You’re a cyber criminal.”
