You can spam me anytime if this is the result :D

And honestly, I'd give anything to see that Air Supply routine (not necessarily by Brad :P)

<3

I know right, me too! It definitely should exist.

(D'awwwww, swanzebra <3)

[jean_iris]

Yeah... this pairing ate my brain and it's ALL your fault! :P

FICK ME IT'S GOOD. I love that tag and it fits here, too. :D

I love different media in fics, like blog posts, twitter etc. And awww, Brad/Nate (b)romance. :D Brad, that wasn't subtle at all WELL DONE.

[eiirene]

I promised myself I wouldn't make silly puns and then I did anyway. But I just couldn't help myself.

Thank you!

I might write a companion piece to this, with more backstory and UST (and possibly more words). I think this fic just ate my brain.

[kubis]

You should definitely write more! But not only UST, fluff too! Fluff is good. Happy endings are good, but I like what-happens-after too. And, you know, them skating together, practicing together and the behind the scenes stuff. EVERYTHING.

So. WRITE MORE.

[eiirene]

Of course there would be fluff, fluff is my middle name. And the whole story behind Brad's retirement. And practicing pairs skating, you know they would. And do you know you can get married on ice? Or at least engaged. Ahem.

Really enjoyed this! I have a bit of a soft spot for figure skating although I'm not a huge stan I still love it.

I loved the fake LJ-entries as well, that was a great touch.

*going to mem this now, so I don't lose it*

[eiirene]

I am a huge stan. Um, it's probably not hard to notice.

Thank you so much for reading and commenting!

IS THIS REAL? I'M DYING OVER HERE. XDDDDD

NATE IS PRINCE CHARMING IRL. TALL GUYS USUALLY FLAIL A LOT. NATE WON SKATE CHANADA. WHO WOULD BE THE FLOWER. RUDY IN A SPARKLY ONESIE. BROMANCE WITHOUT B. THE FAKE LJ ENTRIES. THE LOCATIONS THERE. I'M DYING. DYING.

[eiirene]

NATE WON SKATE CHANADA AND PCHAN DOESN'T EXIST, IT'S A PERFECT UNIVERSE, Y/Y?

Okay, let's be serious.

Thank youuu <3333 (But I still think you should write that skating au you were telling me about. Just saying :P)

[bgaleb]

A lovely, happy, hilarious story! It reads in one breath and gives a sunny vibe! I used to be a huge figure skating fan back in the day! Thank you for reminding me why I loved it so much!

[eiirene]

I think I needed a figure skating AU in my life ;)

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!
