I POSTED THAT PROMPT THINKING LIKE, NO-ONE WOULD FILL IT, BECAUSE THERE IS SUCH A LACK OF YAGSPLUSH FILLS (THAT ARE NOT WRITTEN BY ME, ANYWAY), AND THEN THIS APPEARED, AND IT WAS SO AMAZING AND BRILLIANT AND I WAS BREATHLESS <333333

YOU'VE WRITTEN BBALEXEI/BBEVGENI? I MUST FIND THIS MASTERPIECE AND SHARE IT WITH THE WORLD. OR JUST GREEDILY READ IT AND KEEP TO MYSELF.

EDIT: *HEARTS IN EYES* OH MY FUCKING GOD YOU ARE ALSO THE AUTHOR OF "MAYBE JUST TONIGHT". *WORSHIPPING*

I would love it sooooo much if you wrote more of that threesome *_________*

Headcanon? DO TELL <3

I hope I'll write more of that threesome! I'm not sure if it will actually fit into any of the fics I'm currently working on, though. The ones with Sasha tend to be more Sasha/Zhenya. Sometimes with Yana there too.

Oh, I just tend to construct a whole big timeline in my head and fit most of my fics around it. So in most of what I'm working on, I kind of have this idea in the back of my head that this threesome happened...basically, I get way too invested in characters' backstories. ;) Much of my headcanon would be all those fics I haven't written yet.

OH MY GOD IT WAS YOU, I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT <3333333333

*chuckles* I have a gazillion different headcanons, so I can sympathise ;)

Also, I understand the not sure if want reaction to Evgeni's tattoos. The prompt was my coping mechanism, just like writing it was yours, hahahahahhahaha.

LOL I FAIL AT BEING ANON, BUT W/E.

I have such mixed feelings about tattoos in general. But it's his body after all, and if he has a good reason and it makes him happy then it's all good, I guess. I do feel better after writing smut, though, so I suppose it's a good coping mechanism. ;) I'm glad it worked for you too.

And yes, Yana is awesome and deserves all the love and worship this fandom can give her. I can't really imagine NOT including her in stories about Evgeni set in the present day. She's so much a part of his life and career in the best way possible. (Her Twitter smackdown earlier of bad journalists who couldn't get their facts right filled me with glee, even mangled by Google translate.)

LOL U DO NOT

I agree 100% with this comment <3 At first I was all OMG TATTOO DNW, but then I thought it looked kind of nice on him, and besides, I thought his desire to get Yana's name on him was cute <3 And smut is the best coping mechanism ever ;)

Yana deserves to have fandom ascribe a religion to her and worship her for the rest of her days. She's been an amazing influence on Evgeni and fandom itself. And she's not selfish, she shares :D and ships Yagsplush, I am sure of it. The Twitter smackdown made me squeal out loud in a computer lab XD

After seeing the larger pictures of the tattoos, I'm even less certain how to feel, but hey, he likes them! Also, Latin <3. It sent me running straight to my Latin dictionary to check the exact translation, and is just a really nice phrase. And yes, he's really cute about the whole thing.

Yana is amazing and frequently restores my faith in humanity's inherent ability to be awesome. Her Twitter often makes me squeal out loud, but the smackdown was particularly excellent. (Her Twitter also makes me wish I knew Russian, so I could read it properly. Someday...) Of course she ships Yagsplush! I bet she reads fanfic.

The larger pictures made me go even more "not sure if want", although I still like the winged cross, oddly enough. I'm just freaking out in advance about what will happen if his sleeves ever ride up high enough for the judges to catch a glimpse in competition. I've no doubt they'd be quick to mark him down for it. :S

Yana restores my faith in the humanity of superstars. It would be so easy for her to be a snob, and to think the world beneath her, as so many of the high-profile celebrities do these days; but she continues to work hard, she respects Zhenya's career and his choices (and helps him see the truth), and she looks after his fans and him. I get the impression that she would be happy just to spend all her days with Zhenya <3

I know! I wish I didn't have to keep putting her Twitter through Google, it mangles the grammar so and makes me wince. Bugger that, I bet she writes it.

The winged cross as a design is pretty, I guess. I don't really like large crosses, but that's my own issue. Yeah, I do kind of wonder about the wisdom of this given that he's in a sport that's judged partially on appearance, but...I have to assume he knows what he's doing. I hope.

I generally try not to pay attention to high-profile celebrities precisely because many of them are so obnoxious. But Yana... <3. I love how much caring and respect there is in their relationship, for each other mostly but also for their fans. And how happy they are with each other; it's so wonderful when celebrity couples are obviously really in love.

Oh, Google. :/ I love it for letting me read things I'd otherwise have no clue about, but sometimes the "translation" is so bizarre it's completely incomprehensible. Always good for the lulz, though. And then she reads it out loud to Zhenya and asks his opinion.

It's funny that I like the cross at all, given I do not usually like crosses. In any form. And I guess he hasn't had a short-sleeved costume since 1999 (was one of his Hava Naglia ones short-sleeved?) so there's not much to worry about there.

All their pictures have some element of mush in them XD there's one picture where he's lying back on the bed and she's kneeling by his side, and his hand is just lifting hte hem of her skirt, but I barely even notice the sexy; all I see are the "you're-my-whole-world" expressions *___*

My grammar-nazi self howls in pain everytime I use Google ;___; And watches him squirm. And then maybe she decides one time when Alexei and Tatiana are around for dinner to ask their opinions, and Alexei and Evgeni do a lot of squirming and Tatiana just casually faps.

I'm definitely with you about not liking crosses in any form, and I tend to have a knee-jerk reaction of "NO DNW" when I see them, but I know that's not always rational. At least this one is artistically done, and seems to have meaning for him.

I remember that picture. So, so beautiful! And yes, the sexiness is there, but it's just not even close to being the most important thing. SO MUCH LOVE.

I can usually manage to block grammar-nazi rage with the rationalization that it's just a computer program and can't possibly know what it's doing. In fact, I find it a little bit reassuring that there are still things humans are obviously better at than computers. And then Alexei gets kind of miffed that Tatiana is getting off to fiction and not even including him, so of course he and Evgeni get challenged to make it happen for real. Right now. Which just makes them squirm even more.

LOLWAT HOW DID I FORGET TO REPLY TO THIS Oh yes. It's a very pretty cross in as far as they go. And he has a meaning for it. I like that.

SO MUCH SWEETNESS THEY GIVE US ALL CAVITIES XDDDDDDDDD

That's a good way to look at it! And then they give in? Maybe Alexei bends Evgeni over the dinnertable while Tatiana and Yana just watch with rapt attention. I really need to write this, don't I.

Um, sorry about the ridiculously late response--I'm in the process of moving to a different city, and the past week has been one unexpected complication after another. Anyway, I had to respond even a week after the fact to say YOU SHOULD TOTALLY WRITE IT. THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL SCENARIO, AND MUCH AS I LOVE ALEXEI/EVGENI ON THEIR OWN, THE WOMEN ARE AWESOME TOO AND DESERVE TO GET SOME LOVE. ESPECIALLY SINCE YANA SO CLEARLY SHIPS IT. I WILL BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE YOU WITH ANY ENCOURAGEMENT YOU MIGHT NEED.
