He's All Yours

Summary:

Ilya Rozanov is in a bitch of a mood and Cliff Marleau goes to great lengths to save his team's sanity (and his broken body) by enlisting the help of Rose Landry-- the woman he suspects his increasingly unstable captain is in love with.

Notes:

Inspired by Tiktok user @skyj80’s video and a series of comments expanding on the premise of the video. I have switched from a FaceTime to a series of Whatsapp messages, and roped in a few other friends along the way.

I have chosen to use WhatsApp for ease of consistency, and lets just pretend that the WhatsApp UI shows the date above every set of different messages so you can follow the timeline better.

Rated T, but there will likely be either additional bonus smut chapters or some companion one-shots (haven't decided yet).

You can generally assume that all typos, grammatical errors, and slang are intentional character choices (mostly courtesy of Marly's big beautiful concussed himbo millenial brain).

All chapters will be separate chats for ease of reading, the chats are scrollable and remember to turn on creator's style!!

Chapter 1: Marly & Rose

Summary:

A desperate Cliff Marleau reaches out to Rose Landry for help.

Notes:

Quick note on timelines -- after closely reviewing the existing show timeline and using the real life 2016 NHL schedules for the Habs and Bruins as a scaffold, I've decided that the Tuna Meltdown occurred on October 13, 2016 and Rose and Shane meet and begin dating on October 18. The Club Incident happens on November 8, and Rose and Shane have their come to (gay) Jesus talk during dinner and break up on November 11.
