This quarantine bubble has room for two

Summary:

When Covid shuts down the MLH season, Shane and Ilya quarantine at the cottage. The Metros make Shane start posting to keep fans engaged. Meanwhile, bored Ilya is posting every waking moment while thirsting over Shane on his burner account. Everyone spends a little too much time on social media and nosy fans start connecting some dots.

am going to lick the sweat off his biceps

@phoebephotos
Lol which one

@lily1410
Do you have eyes that work?

Notes:

This mostly follows show canon. I’ve read Heated Rivalry and I know what happens in the Long Game (haven’t actually read it yet though), but covid will change the timeline from 2020 onwards, and also I’m ignoring the timeline when it suits me (e.g. Ilya already has Anya even though in the books she isn’t adopted until March 2021). This also won’t exactly follow the actual NHL’s response to covid.

If I get bored I might eventually try to figure out how to properly format this. Please let me know if the way I have it formatted right now is confusing though!

MLH @MLH ✅ - March 11, 2020

 

In light of the World Health Organization declaring COVID-19 a global pandemic, the MLH will be pausing the 2019-20 season, beginning with tonight's games. 

We encourage all members of the MLH community to take reasonable precautions and follow medical advice. We aim to resume play as soon as it is safe for players and fans. Until such a time, we thank MLH fans for their patience.

Hello team!

I hope you are doing well in these unprecedented times! As games are still on pause, we wanted to keep fans engaged via social media until we can resume. 

I will be sending out weekly prompts, please record a short video in response and send it to me, I will edit them together to post on the Metros’ official accounts.  

This week's prompt is: What is your favourite at home exercise? 

Please film a video vertically of you explaining and performing the exercise, and send it to me before Wednesday. 

 

Best,

The video opens on a clip of Shane doing the final rep of his bench presses, then cuts to the beginning of his video, where he introduces himself. The video goes through various players, their explanations of each exercise as voiceovers to the clips.]

Hi Shane, 

 

Thank you for your quick response to my last email. 

It would be great if you could interact with the videos as we post them (comment, repost, etc.) to boost engagement!

Additionally, since you are the captain, fans are super interested in hearing more from you! We’d appreciate it if you could post more — it doesn’t have to be about hockey, it can just be about what you’re doing to fill your time while in lockdown. 

 

Best,
