I was looking through French interviews with Stéphane again and discovered a couple things I never realized ( Read more... )

3. That pictures of Stephane with his dad is the CUTEST. Awwww. One of my favorite things in the world is sort of gruff, working class dads that love their fabulous sons. (Do you watch So You Think You Can Dance? One week the fluff pieces were about family or something and Billy talked about how his dad is a contractor and they build furniture together and my heart seriously grew 3 sizes.)

5. Oh, wow, Stephane at the polo match is SO VERY MUCH Crown Prince Stephane. I want fic where Stephane is actually a prince (modern day fic, I mean - I think maybe there are some where he's an old-timey prince?) and plays polo and pals around Europe with the other young royals (partying with Harry! hanging in Monaco with the Casiraghis! etc etc) and then he goes to the Olympics (or the World Championships or whatever) as the family representative and meets figure skater Johnny Weir.

3. Gruff Daddies Who Love Their Fabulous Sons are the BEST THING about figure skating. Johnny Weir's dad looks like a biker but will defend his son to the DEATH and it makes me so happy. The video of Stephane all overwhelmed and crying into his dad's neck while his dad is just infinitely patient and fond about his super sensitive weirdo son just SLAYS ME EVERY TIME.

(I don't get to watch much TV unfortunately. But the new era of accepting fathers is the best thing ever!)

5. The Prince and the Figure Skater sounds like the BEST IDEA in the HISTORY of ideas. It would be a perfect set-up for the best cliche in the world: the "But Daddy I LOVE him and I will give up the crown if I have to" scene. Jeeeeeeeeeeeez, someone should write that. Right now.

3. I HAVE NOT SEEN THIS VIDEO OF STEPHANE AND HIS DAD.

5. I wish I had a minion to write this fic for me! Threatening to give up the crown for ~LOVE is one of my favorite cliches.

Plus there's all the "he's a prince and I'm just a regular person" angst (Johnny freaks out about inviting a PRINCE to stay at his apartment in Jersey! Stephane is not your typical prince, but STILL). Which leads to Stephane having to prove that he loves Johnny no matter where he's from. There's nothing I love more than grand gestures of love!

Man, I want this fic SO BAD. I've never prompted anything on the kinkmeme, but I'm seriously tempted.

3. I hope you're ready to have your heart grow A MILLION SIZES!

5. PROMPT IT. OH GOD. You know that Prince Stephane would come up with the BEST grand jestures to prove his love to Johnny! You know what I also love! The sordid tabloid write ups where everyone accuses Johnny of being a hussy American gold digger and Stephane is like, "I don't care what they say!"

Ugh. The schmaltz! I need it!

3. I totally got misty-eyed watching that clip. Stephane's dad is the best. ♥!!

5. Yes! The British tabloids would have a field day!

Ok, I will go prompt it. :)

This, this, a million times this. It's like Kurt and his dad on Glee! I had such ~feelings during that confrontation scene with Finn. (I'm not even sure if you watch Glee, but if you do you'll know what I'm talking about). I ADORE parents who seem salty and foreboding but really adore their sensitive, gay (and/or European) sons.
