Centaurs Best Halves

Summary:

Jane joins the Ottawa Centaurs WAG chat. Eventually, it makes it easier to be brave.

Chapter 1

Summary:

This is the text CSS skin I used!
And this is the hover translation skin

timelines aren't real and they can't hurt me (Shane is out to the Voyageurs but they don't know he's in a relationship. The Cens know that Ilya is bi, but he's specifically told them about Jane, who they think is a woman. the plane happens earlier for the sake of a part two that's already in the works.)

hey Roz

Cassie was wondering if Jane wants to join the WAG chat

i will ask

but make no promises

 

Jane

bood wants to know if jane wants to join wag chat

WAG? Like wives and girlfriends?



That feels like cheating.

how?

I'm quite literally on another team.

they do not know this

and is not like they discuss team secrets. they plan brunch

bood says they have book club

I don't know, Ilya

would be good for you to read books not about hockey

Fuck you.

Do you want me to join?

would be nice for them to get to know you, yes?

Okay. Only because you asked so nicely.

:)

Jane has joined the chat.
Cassie
Hi Jane! This is Cassie Boodram, Zane's wife. Zane got your number from Ilya!

Lisa
welcome, Jane! this is Lisa, Wyatt's wife

Caitlin
Caitlin Dykstra!

the rest of the girls will filter in over the afternoon, probably

Hi, everyone. It's nice to meet you! :)

Lisa
were you in the WAG chat while Ilya was in Boston?

Oh, um. Ilya and I actually weren't official until last summer. So this is my first WAG chat.

Cassie
Really? Zane said it sounded like you two have been together forever

It's... complicated.

 

Lily

January 5, 2019 2:00 PM
What have you told the team about us?

just that i have a jane and she is special

Nothing about when we got together?

no. timeline is complicated

hockey players do not care

Their wives do.

ah

tell them what you like,

i trust

You're very sweet.

Ilya and I started seeing each other casually the summer before his rookie season.

Caitlin
BEFORE HIS ROOKIE SEASON

Selena
Selena Chouinard! I'm Nick's wife

Heather
Hi, Jane, I'm Heather! Boyle's wife

Now, Cait, why are we yelling

Lisa
Jane just told us that she's been seeing Ilya for ten years.

Casually. Very on and off.

Caitlin
girl, still!

Cassie
That's a long time to wait for him to get his shit together

We both needed to get our shit together, really.

And he was worth it.

Heather
Sounds like you're lucky to have found each other, then.

The luckiest.

How do you guys deal with the distance?

Heather
Oh, sweetheart. I wish we could tell you it gets easier.

Caitlin
And you don't even really get to see him, do you?

Evan mentioned that you're not local

I see him more now that he lives in Ottawa, at least. It was worse when he was in Boston.

Cassie
that pesky international border?

That's the one. And Ottawa is closer to Montreal than Boston.

Caitlin
Jane, baby. I have a question for you

and before I ask, I want to remind you that this is a safe space no matter what

are you a voyageurs fan?

Honestly? Less and less every day.

Thanks, Hayd.

Lisa
Jane, I know you don't think we're letting that comment about Montreal slide

I was kind of hoping you would...

Cassie
sorry, girl

we're nosy as fuck

Lisa
do you have an inside source?? what's going on in montreal?

Um, something like that.

I've just been hearing really bad things about their internal culture.

Heather
Honestly? I'm not surprised.

Caitlin
me either.

Cassie
aside from Hollander, they've always had a real old boys club kind of vibe :/

Heather
you know, I've always felt a little bad for Hollander.

Really?

Cassie
he's always seemed kinda lonely. I hope he's okay over there

I think he's been doing better recently.

Urgent WAG roll call

Lisa

Kelly
is everything okay?

Selena
Cassie?

Heather
Cass, talk to us

Cassie
Give Jane and Cait a couple more minutes
everything is okay now, but I want you to hear it from me instead of the internet

Caitlin
I'm here, but remember Jane said she sometimes works nights? She can't have her phone on her at work.

Cassie
Fuck. Right.

Okay. The Centaurs plane had to make an emergency landing tonight.

ALL THE GUYS ARE FINE. EVERYONE IS FINE

there are a couple broken phones, so no one panic if you don't hear anything, okay?

 

Cassie

December 2, 2019 9:12 PM
okay, I'm hoping you read the wag chat first here but

Jane, honey, Zane said that Ilya's phone broke in all the chaos

if it's okay with you, i'm gonna give him your number so Ilya can call when you're off work

December 2, 2019 9:58 PM
Yes, that's fine.

Thank you, Cassie.

of course, honey

zane says he'll call soon

December 2, 2019 10:47
Tell Zane thank you from me. I'm sure he wanted to be in bed earlier.

he said Ilya seems much better. I'm glad you guys got to talk

I can't tell you how much we appreciate it.

Lisa
Hey, Jane, is Ilya okay? Wyatt said he missed practice today

Cassie
shit, that's not like him. hope everything is okay, Jane!

He's fine, don't worry!

We've been a little busy. :)


Caitlin
IS THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS

Lisa
Congratulations, Jane!

Kelly
show us your ring too!!

Oh. I don't have one yet. I proposed to him. :)

Selena
Jane!! Congratulations to you and Ilya!

Heather
Congratulations!

Kelly
is that his right hand?

It's a Russian Orthodox thing.

Caitlin
I didn't realize that Ilya is religious
He's not, really. The cross he wears was his mother's.

But I wanted him to have something that reminded him of home.

Where he came from and what we've built together.

Cassie
that's beautiful, Jane

Caitlin
gonna go cry over how cute you are

Heather
Jane, sweetheart. it's not crashing if you're invited

Lisa

Selena
