Summary:

Bood: We are coming up with a rotational system so it’s fair and square

Bood: That way no one has to be subjected to the sounds more than once or twice during away games

Or,

The fic where the Centaurs create a separate group chat to decide who rooms next to Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov on away trips.

Notes:

Hello, hello!

Since Heated Rivalry is over and season 2 is on the way, I wanted to write a short, lighthearted fic focusing on the Centaurs team dynamic, and this came out. I am aware most Canadians don't use WhatsApp or whatever, but guess what? I don't care!

P.S. Don't forget to scroll, and to listen to the voice message!

Hope you enjoy!

Notes:

Hope you enjoyed!

If I got any of the characterizations wrong... don't shoot me pls. It was really hard not to write like a gen z for some of the characters...

Also, I made LaPointe bi because, well, I wanted to! Rachel didn't even give Young, Holmber, and LaPointe first names so I took some liberty with their characters tee hee

More chapters to arrive soon! (hopefully)
