    Summary

    "I think we should start gaslighting everyone.” Shane looks at Ilya to see his reaction.

    “I don’t understand.”

    “No statements, no plans, of course we’re still doing the charity, but let’s just act like we already came out to everyone.”

    Ilya smirks. “Gaslight them?” Shane nods.

     

    or Shane comes up with the idea of gaslighting everyone into thinking they already came out. Ilya and Shane proceed to go out to lunch, and go on first dates slowly gaslighting their friends and the world.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov, a professional hockey player with the ego of a small country or large, desperately wants to brag about his boyfriend Shane Hollander. Unfortunately, Shane is also his biggest on-ice rival, which makes public admiration socially and professionally inconvenient. Instead of choosing the reasonable option (keeping quiet), Ilya does what anybody would have done: he creates a Twitter account called “Shane Hollander’s girlfriend.”
