Headcanon that for an anniversary or perhaps their retirement, Harris is editing a video for Ilya & Shane showcasing their relationship and their dedication to the game and so on. The clips are mostly gathered from outtakes or snippets filmed on roadtrips, post/pre gams, in the locker rooms, during practice, at team gatherings etc.; it‘s hilarious, most of the team and assorted guests have a good laugh at it, mainly bc ilya and shanes bickering is highly entertaining while at the same time, it‘s spicked with very sweet moments causing soft smiles all around, perhaps some gentle ribbing by team mates and friends - „wow roz, you‘re so whipped“, „who knew hollander had this much rizz “ - but towards the end, the clips become older and on screen ilya & shane become younger until it‘s a montage, meticulously collected and edited to show a competetive smirk during face off, every hint of a smile or wink (in ilyas case) during interview snippets, award show poses together, all star games show offs - and ilya and shane just get quiet for a sec with tears in their eyes, because while it should feel kinda weird to have such old footage dug up, they don‘t really have a lot of photos from their first years together as they deleted everything in fear of being found out, and now their friend made the effort to give at least something back to them - and while their friends - or family really, at this point- around them is still joking, partly still bewildered by how long those two have been together, shane and ilya just sit there, leaning into each other, shane softly caressing ilyas wedding ring in their interwoven hands
