Friday fics — figure skaters ate my brain

Written for the prompt "So, in an imaginary world where the ISU have decided to openly back equality in regards to sexuality, they decide to have a one-time-only competition with same sex pairs to raise money for charity." Basically, Evgeni Plushenko and Alexei Yagudin have to skate pairs. Because of reasons.

Written for the prompt "Evgeni Plushenko/Alexei Yagudin/Aleksandr Abt" and set after the 1998 Europeans where they swept the podium.

Written for the prompt "I want fic where Johnny is the biggest Plushenko stan on the internet. Under a clever username, he constantly posts Plushy picspams on _skating, defends him against haters at fsu/ goldenskate/AJ/every other site that's not _skating, runs his own Plushy comm, fills all the Yagsplush prompts on the kinkmeme, so on and so forth. One day, Stephane finds out Johnny's secret and mercilessly teases him. Then Johnny finds out Stephane has a secret of his own... he's the biggest Lambiel stan on the internet. Cue them trolling each other online and irl. Lulzy, ridiculous trolling." Continued here

Okay, I have to warn you up front that this is another unfinished kink meme fill. Specifically, it is 25,000 words of UST, misunderstandings and pining, cruelly cut off just as they finally admit to feelings but before anything else, which is supremely frustrating. Also, it made me like Alexei Yagudin, which is not okay. (There's a Yagudin fan in the comments similarly complaining about being made to like Plushenko, hee. Actual Alexei Yagudin keeps being a dick though so it's easy to keep disliking him.) But I just love this fic so much.

Poor Sasha Abt, plagued by injuries and overshadowed by the rivalry between these two young whippersnappers. At least here he benefits sexually from their competitiveness.

This is probably funnier if you've spent hours combing through all the troll prompts and drama on skatingkink in hopes of finding an elusive end to an unfinished fill, which is what I did, but still. Johnny fills Stéphane's prompt with furry smut!
some consolation
Feb. 17th, 2014 01:27 amReally regretting my inability to speak Russian at the moment.
This half-hour piece from Russian TV opens with shirtless Evgeni Plushenko running through some choreography off-ice, though, which transcends the language barrier.

chilly war
Feb. 7th, 2014 02:33 pmWhat is the deal with there being a team figure skating event? What is the deal with there being a whole evening's worth of sports the day before the opening ceremonies? What is the deal with the former beginning during the later, causing me to miss the 2014 Olympic début of my beloved Evgeni Plushenko???
Don't worry, though, I found a sketchy cam video to tide myself over with. Also Johnny Weir posted a cute picture of himself and Tara Lipinski posing with Plushy on his Instagram to make my shipper heart go pitter-pat. So that's something.
My new favorite Russian athlete of these games is Alexey Sobolev, who seems like both a badass (playing coy with his Pussy Riot-themed board art) and a dork (putting his phone number on his helmet to see what would happen).
