Dear Author: Rare Ships!!! on Ice 2017
Hello, fellow writer! Thank you for taking the time to check out my letter, and thank you for writing for me. While I am a longtime lurker in the YoI community, I have never dipped into writing for it, so this is exciting all around.

Requested ships:
Since you are probably matched on a specific ship, I'll save you the reading and outline some specific prompts/ideas for each ship!
Jean-Jacques Leroy/Yuri Plisetsky/Isabella Yang
Ever since I saw some fan art on Tumblr for these three, I can't get them out of my head. Isabella is seen as a haughty character with a hidden heart of gold, so I bet she out of anyone could get Yuri to loosen up a little bit. And Jean-Jacques is just happy to be here!
They are such polar opposite personality types! Mari is laidback, crynical, and "alt" while Minako is outgoing and very disciplined. They probably see each other nearly every day, but we don't get much canon interaction between them. Their snarky banter and intimacy would be amazing.
It took me a long time to warm up to Lilia, but she's just the kind of female character I usually end up adoring--she's made of stern stuff, but she's incredibly dedicated and caring. I'd love to see her and another disciplined, talented ballet instructor like Minako making a life together.
We pretty much only see Mari interact with Hatsetsu folks (+ Yuri), so I'd love to see her get to know someone outside her hometown. And Mila's been pretty insulated with training as well, so she deserves a sweetie who exists outside the skating/ballet sphere.
I feel like the skaters tend to stick together, even when they don't all necessarily "like" each other, so I'd love to see Mila and Sara as the dynamic duo who give Isabella the ice queen treatment (pun intended) before realizing how much they really like her.
I love the dynamic possibilities among three such strong personalities. Otabek's quiet strength, JJ's star power, and Yuri's hot-head tendencies would make for an explosive relationship on all fronts.

- Isabella getting Yuri all dolled up to impress JJ
- Isabella and Yuri making out/flirting/snuggling to get JJ all jealous/riled up
- The epic arguments/lovers' quarrels they all have (and the eventual making up)
They are such polar opposite personality types! Mari is laidback, crynical, and "alt" while Minako is outgoing and very disciplined. They probably see each other nearly every day, but we don't get much canon interaction between them. Their snarky banter and intimacy would be amazing.
- Pre-canon with Mari taking ballet lessons just to impress Minako
- They have a friends with benefits relationship that goes on through the entire show. No one ever notices.
- Minako helps Mari quit smoking. Angst ensues.
It took me a long time to warm up to Lilia, but she's just the kind of female character I usually end up adoring--she's made of stern stuff, but she's incredibly dedicated and caring. I'd love to see her and another disciplined, talented ballet instructor like Minako making a life together.
- Minako holding her own with Yakov and earning his respect
- Ballet as foreplay
- Lilia may be skilled at doing her pupils' hair, but she only lets Minako touch her hair
We pretty much only see Mari interact with Hatsetsu folks (+ Yuri), so I'd love to see her get to know someone outside her hometown. And Mila's been pretty insulated with training as well, so she deserves a sweetie who exists outside the skating/ballet sphere.
- Long distance relationship AU
- AU with Mila visiting the onsen as Yuri's chaperone; she ends up being smitten with Mari
- Mari freaking out about Mila enduring a small fall/injury on the ice
I feel like the skaters tend to stick together, even when they don't all necessarily "like" each other, so I'd love to see Mila and Sara as the dynamic duo who give Isabella the ice queen treatment (pun intended) before realizing how much they really like her.
- Mila and Sara "share" Isabella as a girlfriend. They've stopped trying to explain it to people.
- Isabella planning non-skating dates for the three of them (I could see them all at the beach!)
- Isabella cheering for them both with elaborate signs and tons of flowers
I love the dynamic possibilities among three such strong personalities. Otabek's quiet strength, JJ's star power, and Yuri's hot-head tendencies would make for an explosive relationship on all fronts.
- Trope aversion where they are actually very domestic and vanilla
- JJ prides himself on being both Otabek and Yuri's "first"
- Going clubbing/dancing together
