Oh my GOD. This is so wonderfully written -- I like that you set it at the Olympics, before the Stars on Ice clash -- and funny and honest and true. I think these were my favourite lines:

"You're welcome," Evan said. "Um. We could have a truce," he added quietly, clearing his throat.

"Let's not," Johnny said, a little surprised to see that Evan actually looked disappointed. "Let's be honest, one of us would mess it up within a month." He knocked his shoulder lightly against Evan's when he turned to go. "Cheer up, you're still my favourite rival to be stuck in an elevator with."

Because they SO would. This was amazing and insightful, thanks for sharing it!

I love this! It had all my favourite parts of trapped-in-a-closet/elevator/enclosed space fic, in that there was a lot of awkwardness and a little h/c and some grudging conversation. I also really love the fact that Evan's attempt to call a truce just isn't going to happen and they both know it; that seems so realistic to me. Awesome fic!

This is wonderfully bittersweet. I really felt for Johnny when he was helping Evan calm down even though the visualisation process was a little heartwrenching for him. And I liked that even though they weren't friends by the end, there was a bit of hope that in the future they might at least be friendly.

omg *_* Trapped in a small space and huddling for warmth *________* Words cannot express how glad I am for this fic. I really like Evan's weird awkwardness and the fact that they still mostly hated each other. The tentative truce was so cute.
