Fic idea: Ilya and Shane as the pro climbers who broke into Empire State Building, hung a peace banner and got engaged at the top
AU where Shane and Ilya are pro climbers and decided to aura farm on whole another level, deliver a public message of love and peace, come out, get engaged and get arrested on the same day.
I saw the news about the Russian couple doing this and I immediately thought about Ilya, and yeah Shane would be as insane about climbing as he is about hockey so he would be right there with his man, supporting him. The message of peace and love would play into Ilya giving the Russian gov a big middle finger with the message (Russia actively attacking Ukraine and the anti-gay propaganda laws etc.).
I'm thinking the fic could be partially a socmed but also have some POV from the NYPD chopper crew and maybe body cam footage from when they arrest them on the ground.
Please, could someone adopt this idea. If no one picks this up I'll try to write it myself as a last resort, but feel free to use the idea <333
