I fell in love here:

And, a funny story - earlier in the day when they had practice I saw him and Nate standing together and it looked like Nate was correcting his position or something. I know they work with the same coach, so they probably train together all the time, but it was really sweet.

And then laughed hysterically through the whole rest of the story.

YOU. YOU ROCK. I love this. And I must know the story behind Brad's retirement. Must!

[eiirene]

Wheeeeeee \o/
I'm grinning so hard right now, thank you! :D

The story behind Brad's retirement is terribly simple, I'm afraid. Or terribly silly, depending on the point of view ;)

OMG. THIS.

this made my heart all full and bursting with squee XDXDXD HOW ADORABLE IS THE ENDING, TOO? EEEEEE

What a fun ensemble fic, and so original too <3 Kinda like a mixed media fic, haha.

LJ ate my reply -.-

I totally have a thing for different media in fics! I had this insane idea to make a photo manip with skater!Nate, but I'm allergic to photoshop this week ;)

Writing the ending was sooo fun, but I think if I lived in a universe where all the boys were figure skaters and I saw Brad and Nate basically confessing their love on the ice (in their own special way), it would probably fry my brain and I wouldn't be able to form a coherent thought, let alone write a blog entry XD

You're a rockstar. This is hilarious and innovative and just plain awesome. ♥

[eiirene]

Thank you! <3

FICK ME IT'S GOOD.

You really have the ontd_skating downpat. (I have went through a crazy phase of reading up gazillion of their entries in a few days, MY BRAIN WILL NEVER RECOVER.)

PRINCE CHARMING. OF COURSE HE IS.

BRAD'S LAST PROGRAM. AIR SUPPLY. THE LOOK. THE LOOOOK.

NO, I AM NOT GIVING UP CAPSLOCK. I TRIED TO TURN IT OFF BUT THIS FIC DEMANDS IT.

BACKSTORY UST(B)ROMANCE FIC HELL YEAH.

[eiirene]

_skating isn't so bad, I still watch it. But my fake entries lack glitter text and capslock to truly represent the spirit XD

Backstory fic, mhm. I have another wip that I really want to finish and it's a priority right now ("The Witcher" au, yeah, don't even ask), but after that :)

Whee, I LOVE IT!

[eiirene]

Whee, thank you! :D

Not much time right now, but just had to add that I absolutely loved what you did with all the different characters, and the little nods to canon with Pappy's foot and Nate helping Christeson. <333

[eiirene]

I loved that there are so many elements in the canon that fit here. And I might have an idea for a fic with Nate and Christeson training together and being friends and all.
(Why yes, I have the whole universe mapped out. Fandom and figure skating ate my brain in more ways than one *g*)
