Figure Skating Recs
I kind of fell into the Figure Skating fandom after the Olympics and since there are a few people on my flist who are also into the fandom, I thought that I would do a recs post. burkesl17 asked for a few recs and this was initially just a few recs, but it kind of exploded. Hopefully this draws a few more people into the fandom ;)
* = My absolute favourites
Fics
*Title: Saybrook Sage
Author: tryannicides
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: Johnny makes it a week before he picks up the phone. And for the record, dialing out of Russia is like breaking into Fort Knox with a hairpin.
Why it’s awesome: It’s snarky and fun phone sex, but then there is also this surprising depth to the story. It’s still really hot and has some very awesome lines.
Title: Cassiopeia
Author: thexpuzzler
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: They've been fucking for a few months before Evan actually asks. They're in bed - as they always are - still panting and exhausted and stickily sweaty from the sex; if they weren't, Johnny would be up, dancing around the room, searching together things, or picking things up or trying to find something, just moving, always moving, like he has too much energy.
Why it’s awesome: Evan and Johnny have such a dysfunctional relationship in real life and this fic captures it wonderfully, but it also has a slightly hopeful ending.
Title: Fashion, B*tch! (and Interventions)
Author: talk-back
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: When Ben comes to him, half-crazed look in his eyes and hair and clothes disheveled and looking for help, Johnny's a little suspicious. But when Ben explains just what he needs help with, Johnny spits his drink out over the floor.
Why it’s awesome: This is kind of sweet and has an oblivious!Evan and a Johnny who didn’t even realise he was pining.
Title: Temptation
Author: estriel
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: In the figure skating world, everybody has their secret habits. Rituals. Little things that they believe help them skate better.
Why it’s awesome: Evan is all obsessed with Johnny and thinks that sleeping with him will help his obsession go away. I think everybody can see the flaw in that plan.
Title: Twelve Step Program
Author: lannamichaels
Pairing: Johnny/Evan, Evan/Stéphane
Extract: Johnny knows when he realized he was in love with Evan.
Why it’s awesome: This has an absolutely brilliant pining!Johnny who has been in love with Evan for years.
*Title: if you are very very quiet you can hear the clouds rub against the sky
Author: willowbell
Pairing: Gen
Extract: "That'll teach you to go eating weird rainbow cupcakes your fans send you!" Johnny says, exasperated. He backtracks when Evan's expression turns mulish, his tiny lips downturning in a frightening pout. Johnny has cousins, he knows what that look means-
Why it’s awesome: Evan gets deaged and Johnny ends up taking care of him. How is that not awesome?
Title: the stars and the sea
Author: formerlydf
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: Their hotels change, their programs change, their fucking coaches change. The days and months and years drop past like pages ripped out of a calendar and left to fall to the ground, drifting from side to side before finally settling, discarded.
Why it’s awesome: Evan and Johnny have a complicated relationship that slowly evolves over the years.
*Title: Be One Traveller
Author: passe-simple
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: His bed felt wrong, for one thing; Evan liked a hard mattress, and this was squishy. For another the sun was slanting across his face, and he'd arranged his bed so it was pitch black until his alarm clock went off. For a third, there was someone else in the bed with him, and he was absolutely sure Nastia had flown home three days ago.
Why it’s awesome: Evan wakes up in a world where he and Johnny have a slightly different relationship. The world that he lands up in is awesome and has a Johnny that isn't bitter but is still snarky and kind of wonderful.
Title: Cohabitation
Author: tryannicides
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: Evan’s left his shoes in the middle of the hallway. Again. For someone so OCD about his toothpaste brand and his t-shirts being on the left of his dress shirts and the ice cubes trays always being full even if just one cube’s missing and the Glade plug-in not smelling like cinnamon and his CD collection being alphabetized by genre and then by year and then by artist-seriously, how does this even happen?
Why it’s awesome: I love how we get this glimpse of an established relationship that isn't all happy all the time and that there is some conflict.
*Title: Too far around the bend
Author: audiologic
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: The rink feels colder today, somehow, and Johnny can feel the ache spread, hot-cold in his legs halfway through training. It's bothersome and it irritates him like everything tends to do in the middle of winter, like Evan's sticky hair product getting on his face does all his life. Johnny is pretty much perpetually irritated.
Why it’s awesome: Johhny and Evan are a pairs team. They're total opposites but they just work together so well and Evan is a total cock-blocker because he's been in love with Johnny for years.
Title: Détente
Author: thedaytheystop
Pairing: Gen
Extract: After the three long flights and the bus ride to his hotel Evan is ready to collapse and never get up again. He’s only got ten hours before the pairs short, though, and he’s agreed to sit in the booth and commentate next to Scott freaking Hamilton, so he digs in his bag and pulls out a bottle of Ambien.
Why it’s awesome: Johnny and Evan have this weird bond thing which means they can't leave each others eyesight without being sick. You can just guess how well they would take that.
Title: General Incivility
Author: passe-simple
Pairing: Johnny/Evan, Adam/Mirai
Extract: Johnny had known that from the ridiculous baby voice and the mild lisp that made him want to steal Adam and play dress-up with him forever. "Hey, honey," Johnny said. "What's up? If you hear weird noises I'm cleaning."
Why it’s awesome: This is kind of based on Pride and Prejudice and it is awesome as it's full of misunderstandings and angst but then also has Adam and Mirai (who are the cutest things ever) being all cute and in love.
*Title: by the time I'm dreaming
Author: alex-boylove
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: Eva Lysacek is about ninety percent sure that Janie Weir is trying to flirt with her. Which, for maybe anyone else on the planet, would be a compliment, because Janie Weir is objectively very beautiful. She’s thin and elegant, with curly dark hair and grey-green eyes that she usually lines with smoky black eyeliner, and she has incredible fashion sense. Everything she wears is carefully chosen to show off her toned body.
Why it’s awesome: This is fascinating as it has both Johnny and Evan as females, and suddenly it's Johnny who is the one loved by the USFSA.
Title: Five weddings (and one happy ending)
Author: cookingontherun
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: Johnny raises his glass, champagne bubbling and golden in the light of crystal chandeliers. "To Tanith and Ben," he says. "May your ever-after be happy and blessed and all you could hope for."
Why it’s awesome: This is just sweet and fluffy and fun to read and delivers exactly what the title promises.
Title: Curiouser Things (Have Been Known To Happen)

Why it’s awesome: Johnny and Evan are training at the same rink and their relationship slowly becomes something deeper.
Title: do you like me y/y/mfy
Author: alex-boylove
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: Evan puts the tweet up, then goes to hide in the corner of his room, away from the computer. Within minutes, his cell phone and his home phone are both ringing and Evan just tries not to think about the fact that he may have torpedoed his career.
Why it’s awesome: This has Evan playing gay chicken with Johnny. I don't think I need to say anything more :)
Kink-meme fills - Complete
Title: Pregame
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: The thing about winning a gold medal is--
No, scratch that. The thing about winning a gold medal and being Evan Lysacek is that it's a little bit heady, and there's a reason the Olympic Village is filled with thousands of condoms, and there's all the adulation and finally getting a few days to calm down and ohfuck does he want to get laid.

Title: Family Dynamics

Title: Case of the Exes
Pairing: Johhny/Evan/Tanith

Why it’s awesome: This is both extremely hot and also kind of sad.
Title: Untitled
Pairing: Johnny/Evan

Title: I want your drama, the touch of your hand
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: Someone is skating to Gaga. It isn't as if he has radar or anything (in spite of the fact that he can pick her music out from just hearing a bar), he just knows his music. From the sound of it, it's Bad Romance starting and ending, in a seemingly endless loop.
Why it’s awesome: Johnny and Evan skate a pairs routine to Lady Gaga, and Evan is also sneaky.
Title: Untitled
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: Johnny had made it into the Vanity Fair party, which he didn't know how but he suspected it has something to do with the fact that it's near 1 am and most of the decent folks have already headed home. Also, he's Johnny fucking Weir, which sometimes has it's perks.

Extract: Most of the time she loves her job, but there are mornings she wakes up and she knows, just knows, that it's going to be one of those days.
Why it’s awesome: This has baby figure skaters all going to pre-school together. It is the cutest thing you could imagine.
Title: Untitled
Pairing: Johnny/Evan

Why it’s awesome: Johnny thinks Evan's going to be nervous in bed since it's his first time but that isn't quite what happens.
Title: Not Gonna Say It
Pairing: Johnny/Tanith
Extract: "Seriously, Tanith, I don't know why we're even doing this." Johnny's voice had a certain resigned quality to it, as though he'd already lost this argument a thousand times.
Why it’s awesome: Johnny and Tanith make a sex tape and then Tanith gives it to Evan.
Title: More Than Words. Sequel to Not Gonna Say It
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: Evan hummed a little to himself as he made his way through the Village, nodding at people if they recognized him but otherwise keeping to himself. He didn't want to talk to anyone, sure that with just one word of conversation, all the courage he had built up would shatter and he'd have to turn around and forget about his goal entirely.
Why it’s awesome: Evan goes to Johnny after seeing the sex tape but things go in a surprising direction
Title: A Slap in the Face
Pairing: Evan/Anna Trebunskaya
Extract: The whole thing had begun with a slap.
The slap in question was Evan's - the one that landed on Anna's ass. The first time was a surprise, but she dealt with it calmly enough. The second time, though, he'd gotten cocky, and the only way to put him in his place was to slap him back. Hard.
Why it’s awesome: Evan likes to be slapped around and Anna obliges in the best possible way.
Title: Two Days
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: There were many things Johnny had to thank Tara for that day: putting up with him to begin with, being friends with Evan’s agent, and somehow arranging the planets to put Johnny and Evan in the same place for two days.
Why it’s awesome: This is just totally adorable.
Title: Leap Year
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: They’ve been crawling towards this for so very long that Johnny isn’t sure when it started or how long it has been going on. All he knows is this: it could have gone on for years more, considering the pace they were at, if not for Evan’s Olympic-fucking-medal.
Why it’s awesome: Evan and Johnny have sex against a wall.
Title: have some composure (where is your posture?)
Pairing: Johnny/Evan

Kink-meme fills - WIP
Title: Time Off to Reevaluate
Pairing: Johnny/Evan

He debates dropping the whole thing, but then decides to text his publicist and ask if she knows. If she doesn’t text him the address, then he’ll just give up and find a hotel in the city.
Why it’s awesome: Evan arrives at Johnny's door because he suddenly doesn't know what to do with himself anymore and then they snark at each other and slowly start a relationship that is a little but messed up but also awesome.
*Title: any lawful impediment
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: "Not just no, but HELL NO," Johnny says, again. He's trying to sound as firm as he possibly can while still naked and hungover. "We were drunk, and this is all New Jersey's fault, and no. No. We can get it annulled this afternoon. No one will ever have to know."
Why it’s awesome: Johnny and Evan wake up and find that they decided to get married after getting drunk together. Evan has been in love with Johnny for ages but Johnny is delightfully oblivious to Evan's pining. Also, this features a fantastic Stéphane who is charming and manages to make the most unlikely people fall in love with him.
Title: Overexposure
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: Johnny's phone started going crazy at ass o'clock in the morning. He'd left it on the counter in his bathroom, so it took a while for the sound to get annoying and repetitive enough to wake him up.
Why it’s awesome: A sex tape of Johnny and Evan hits the internet, but Johnny and Evan can't stand each other. They just have kinky sex occasionally.
Title: Worlds 2011
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: There are good things and bad things about being stuck in Evan Lysacek’s body. Well, mostly bad things. The good part is that Johnny can finally see what the idiot looks like without bronzer and with his hair done right and not slicked back, and the truth is he looks pretty good.
Why it’s awesome: Johnny and Evan switch bodies before Worlds 2010. This is actually not as crack-tastic as it sounds but it is still amazing. The author explores all the issues that arise from the body swap.
Title: It's How You Take It Off
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: "Designers," Heidi says, with the little smile in her voice that tells you she's pretty damn sure she owns the world. Paris keeps on insisting that Heidi is just repressing her sadistic domme instincts and instead channeling them into making the designers suffer, and Johnny's not entirely sure he doesn't have a point.
Why it’s awesome: This is a Project Runway AU that has Johnny as a designer and Evan as the model that he has to dress.
*Title: A Day In The Life
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: He yawns and curls up in his seat, hugging one of the fabulously luxe first class pillows to his chest. Two pillows. Two! It's almost enough to make up for the stupid Russian train and Stephanel's stupid antics, but right now Johnny's just happy to be going home.
Why it’s awesome: This is an alternate history fic which has Johnny waking up in a world where he became the Olympic champion in 2006 and now he is in a complicated relationship with Evan Lysacek. This fic is kind of epic and long and the author has built an amazing AU world.
Title: At the Edges of His Shape
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: People paid him too much attention. People listened to him-or didn’t, depending on the news network. Fans formed groups and made costumes and pillows and held receptions that Johnny knows other skaters have never had.
Why it’s awesome: This has a Johnny who has always been a girl and the author delicately handles all the issues that come up as a result of this. This also has awesome cameo's from plenty of the other skaters.
Title: Chasing The Sun
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: He looked down at the small fuzzy head in the baby carrier carefully fastened into the plane seat next to his and immediately conceded that, okay, ‘mistake’ had been the wrong word to use. They were a blessing and a joy and the light of his world, but they had definitely destroyed his relationship.
Why it’s awesome: This is a Parent Trap AU that is even better than the source material.
Title: A Pure Flash Of Lightning
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: It started when, for some Godforsaken reason, Johnny came to the filming of Dancing With The Stars.
Why it’s awesome: This is a prequel to Chasing The Sun and details how Johnny and Evan got into the relationship. Evan is just utterly adorable in this fic.
Title: Good Health and a Bad Memory
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: He's been skating a pretty clean season - the time off to refocus and redefine his practice ethic has really paid off - and he might be maybe, just a little overconfident on the triple lutz/triple toe loop jumping pass, given how close he is to the boards at that part of the short program
Why it’s awesome: Johnny loses his memory and Evan has to take care of him. Because Johnny doesn't have any memory of Evan, he is friendly and snarky but not in a mean way. Evan is just confused most of the time.
Title: the art of spooning
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: It’s not like there’s any inflection to it - Lysacek is one-note in all things - but he still oozes look how much of a self-sacrificing martyr I am.
Why it’s awesome: Johnny and Evan sleep together in the most literal sense possible.
Title: Johnny and Evan Plus Seven
Pairing: Johnny/Evan

Why it’s awesome: Johnny adopts a baby and then Evan adopts six children, but Evan is way out of his depth and goes to Johnny for help. And then they have a reality show about it.
Title: America's Sweethearts
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: He's running around backstage at L'arène de France like a headless chicken, grabbing at random strangers' arms and asking them if they've seen his client whose managed to lose himself (Johnny is a fantastic PA/manager and would never himself lose a client, obviously) in the ten feet between the green room and the dressing room.
Why it’s awesome: Johnny is Stéphane's agent and Evan Lysacek is another movie star, who is slightly insane and seems to live for making Johnny's life difficult.
Title: Therapeutic Methods
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: The USFSA official doesn't seem to be joking. She stares at them balefully, her eyes black like the pits of hell, and Johnny feels like she's pinned him in place with her stare. He glares back, determined to make her break.
Why it’s awesome: The USFSA puts Johnny and Evan into couples therapy. And they have to do trust falls.

The slap in question was Evan's - the one that landed on Anna's ass. The first time was a surprise, but she dealt with it calmly enough. The second time, though, he'd gotten cocky, and the only way to put him in his place was to slap him back. Hard.
Why it’s awesome: Evan likes to be slapped around and Anna obliges in the best possible way.
Title: Two Days
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: There were many things Johnny had to thank Tara for that day: putting up with him to begin with, being friends with Evan’s agent, and somehow arranging the planets to put Johnny and Evan in the same place for two days.
Why it’s awesome: This is just totally adorable.
Title: Leap Year
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: They’ve been crawling towards this for so very long that Johnny isn’t sure when it started or how long it has been going on. All he knows is this: it could have gone on for years more, considering the pace they were at, if not for Evan’s Olympic-fucking-medal.
Why it’s awesome: Evan and Johnny have sex against a wall.
Title: have some composure (where is your posture?)
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: Evan gets the idea when he watched Johnny and Anna chat in Russian- Johnny was looking at her animatedly, eyes intent with interest, and he noticed that Anna had one hand on Johnny's sleeve, even while she was gesturing expansively about her visit to Moscow the year before.
Why it’s awesome: Evan, Johnny and Anna sleep together and it's really hot.
Title: Primary Colors
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: Johnny sighs as he looks down to see Nikolai gumming on a bright yellow painted wood block
Why it’s awesome: Evan and Johnny and a baby.
Kink-meme fills - WIP
Title: Time Off to Reevaluate
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: Evan’s at the baggage claim, trying to figure out where to get a taxi before he realizes that he doesn’t know Johnny’s address. He debates dropping the whole thing, but then decides to text his publicist and ask if she knows. If she doesn’t text him the address, then he’ll just give up and find a hotel in the city.
Why it’s awesome: Evan arrives at Johnny's door because he suddenly doesn't know what to do with himself anymore and then they snark at each other and slowly start a relationship that is a little but messed up but also awesome.
*Title: any lawful impediment
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: "Not just no, but HELL NO," Johnny says, again. He's trying to sound as firm as he possibly can while still naked and hungover. "We were drunk, and this is all New Jersey's fault, and no. No. We can get it annulled this afternoon. No one will ever have to know."
Why it’s awesome: Johnny and Evan wake up and find that they decided to get married after getting drunk together. Evan has been in love with Johnny for ages but Johnny is delightfully oblivious to Evan's pining. Also, this features a fantastic Stéphane who is charming and manages to make the most unlikely people fall in love with him.
Title: Overexposure
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: Johnny's phone started going crazy at ass o'clock in the morning. He'd left it on the counter in his bathroom, so it took a while for the sound to get annoying and repetitive enough to wake him up.
Why it’s awesome: A sex tape of Johnny and Evan hits the internet, but Johnny and Evan can't stand each other. They just have kinky sex occasionally.
Title: Worlds 2011
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: There are good things and bad things about being stuck in Evan Lysacek’s body. Well, mostly bad things. The good part is that Johnny can finally see what the idiot looks like without bronzer and with his hair done right and not slicked back, and the truth is he looks pretty good.
Why it’s awesome: Johnny and Evan switch bodies before Worlds 2010. This is actually not as crack-tastic as it sounds but it is still amazing. The author explores all the issues that arise from the body swap.
Title: It's How You Take It Off
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: "Designers," Heidi says, with the little smile in her voice that tells you she's pretty damn sure she owns the world. Paris keeps on insisting that Heidi is just repressing her sadistic domme instincts and instead channeling them into making the designers suffer, and Johnny's not entirely sure he doesn't have a point.
Why it’s awesome: This is a Project Runway AU that has Johnny as a designer and Evan as the model that he has to dress.
*Title: A Day In The Life
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: He yawns and curls up in his seat, hugging one of the fabulously luxe first class pillows to his chest. Two pillows. Two! It's almost enough to make up for the stupid Russian train and Stephanel's stupid antics, but right now Johnny's just happy to be going home.
Why it’s awesome: This is an alternate history fic which has Johnny waking up in a world where he became the Olympic champion in 2006 and now he is in a complicated relationship with Evan Lysacek. This fic is kind of epic and long and the author has built an amazing AU world.
Title: At the Edges of His Shape
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: People paid him too much attention. People listened to him-or didn’t, depending on the news network. Fans formed groups and made costumes and pillows and held receptions that Johnny knows other skaters have never had.
Why it’s awesome: This has a Johnny who has always been a girl and the author delicately handles all the issues that come up as a result of this. This also has awesome cameo's from plenty of the other skaters.
Title: Chasing The Sun
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: He looked down at the small fuzzy head in the baby carrier carefully fastened into the plane seat next to his and immediately conceded that, okay, ‘mistake’ had been the wrong word to use. They were a blessing and a joy and the light of his world, but they had definitely destroyed his relationship.
Why it’s awesome: This is a Parent Trap AU that is even better than the source material.
Title: A Pure Flash Of Lightning
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: It started when, for some Godforsaken reason, Johnny came to the filming of Dancing With The Stars.
Why it’s awesome: This is a prequel to Chasing The Sun and details how Johnny and Evan got into the relationship. Evan is just utterly adorable in this fic.
Title: Good Health and a Bad Memory
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: He's been skating a pretty clean season - the time off to refocus and redefine his practice ethic has really paid off - and he might be maybe, just a little overconfident on the triple lutz/triple toe loop jumping pass, given how close he is to the boards at that part of the short program
Why it’s awesome: Johnny loses his memory and Evan has to take care of him. Because Johnny doesn't have any memory of Evan, he is friendly and snarky but not in a mean way. Evan is just confused most of the time.
Title: the art of spooning
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: It’s not like there’s any inflection to it - Lysacek is one-note in all things - but he still oozes look how much of a self-sacrificing martyr I am.
Why it’s awesome: Johnny and Evan sleep together in the most literal sense possible.
Title: Johnny and Evan Plus Seven
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: Johnny stopped dusting the etagere and looked at the phone where it sat innocently on the coffee table. Unknown Caller. He thought about it. He wanted the ringing noise to stop but he really didn’t want to pick up.
Why it’s awesome: Johnny adopts a baby and then Evan adopts six children, but Evan is way out of his depth and goes to Johnny for help. And then they have a reality show about it.
Title: America's Sweethearts
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: He's running around backstage at L'arène de France like a headless chicken, grabbing at random strangers' arms and asking them if they've seen his client whose managed to lose himself (Johnny is a fantastic PA/manager and would never himself lose a client, obviously) in the ten feet between the green room and the dressing room.
Why it’s awesome: Johnny is Stéphane's agent and Evan Lysacek is another movie star, who is slightly insane and seems to live for making Johnny's life difficult.
Title: Therapeutic Methods
Pairing: Johnny/Evan
Extract: The USFSA official doesn't seem to be joking. She stares at them balefully, her eyes black like the pits of hell, and Johnny feels like she's pinned him in place with her stare. He glares back, determined to make her break.
Why it’s awesome: The USFSA puts Johnny and Evan into couples therapy. And they have to do trust falls.
