Sometimes I don't believe myself, people. I kept telling Maja "OMG I TOTALLY SHIP X/Y!" and then not actually writing anything. WELL, NOW I HAVE. /0

AHHHH JLKAJLFDKJSDFLKDSFSG OMG OMG OMG OMG.

I WAS JUST ABOUT TO GO TO BED, SO I WILL BE BACK LATER WITH A PROPER REVIEW AND FLAILING BUT -- FJKSLDFS KIT. KIT. THIS IS FUCKING PERFECT. I CANNOT EVEN. ♥______♥ YOU NEED TO WRITE MORE FIC FOREVER, OKAY, BECAUSE THIS IS SO THEM AND I WANT TO EXTEND THE MOMENT FOREVER AND AJKLFJSDKLSD THIS MAKES ME SO, SO HAPPY.

YOU WIN AT PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING. <3333333 I WANT SO SO SO MUCH MOOOORE.

I WANT SO SO SO MUCH MOOOORE.

WELL THAT WAS MY GOAL, NOW WASN'T IT. >D

Glad to hear it sounded like THEM, because that is the most terrifying thing about writing RPF, at least for me. D:

SLEEP IS FOR THE UNDERCAFFEINATED! *buzz buzz*

First off, I love how Sasha can't help thinking about how he's going to mess something up -- he seems like that sort of person, that he'll go over every worst-case scenario before he goes out and that'll spur him to be better. NEW PERSONAL CANON. ♥

In Jon's mind, Sasha's probably winning the goddamn all-around gold, because Jon thinks just that much of his team. Jon thinks of everyone making the cuts, flying high, holding it together, sticking the landings, hands over hearts while they all belt out "The Star-Spangled Banner" on the podium.

ajlfkajdflksdjglsf <33333 Yes. Ugh, Jon Horton, I love you so much.

Fail trying, comes the echo off the back of his mind. Skid, slip, slide, all the way into a slump that could last until you give up playing games with your body. Let a slump take you out harder and harsher than a snapped bone. Let it go. You've already lost, Alexander Artemev, so nevermind your family history, nevermind--

This made me so sad. ;____; I can seriously hear him thinking that and just -- jfklsf. Sashaaaa.

and now he

MAJA, YOUR COMMENT IS ALMOST AS LONG AS THE FIC. O.O I LOVE YOU TO PIECES FOR IT, TOO. EEEEEE. *hugest smile ever*

[novelized]

i wasn't even 100% sure who these guys were before i started reading, but oh man, you're a terrific writer. wow, this was so emotional and amazing and so REALISTIC.

"You guys want a medal." (It's not a question.) "And I could ruin it for you."

"You don't talk like that," Jon says, equally soft, but still giving an order. Like Jon does. "Don't you get it? We've already made it--we're at the freaking Olympics! We just gotta do what we've been doing, and great things will happen. Don't you worry."

"I'm only here because Morgan--"

"No. It's 'cause you were meant to compete with us. Don't talk like that. You're one of us. I'd never give you up."

i LOOOOVED this. ahh, i hope you write more! of anything! i'd read it! :D

The gymnastics section on my squee-post TELLS ALL. God, I have the hugest hearteyes for those boys.

*squeak* Thank you so much! I'm so happy you liked it. ♥♥♥ Well, Maja and I have also been discussing Phelps/Lochte and Thorpe/Phelps and Piersol/Grevers, soooo...WE'LL SEE. >_>

[agape_eternal]

So fucking sweet! I love it.

Maybe some Phelps/Lochte in the future? *hint hint* XDD

[almightychrissy]

Hi. Might I ask where you found these extraordinary pictures?

[agape_eternal]

On daylife.com

Just search their names and the pics will come up.

[almightychrissy]

Thank you!!!!!!!

[kohl_eyed]

AAAAH. You are amazing.

Hee, Jonathan. Omg Sasha! You saw the pommel horse, yes? ksjsdlkfjds!

*pokes for Olympic threesome*

[imagines]

*red-faced* But. But. Well, okay.

I SAW THE POMMEL HORSE, THAT WAS MY INSPIRATION. ♥____♥ SASHA YOU LOVELY MEDAL-SAVER, YOU.

...which Olympic threesome? >_> OR DO YOU EVEN CARE?

[hahahahowlucky]

OHMYGOD. SO ADORABLE AND PERFECT AND APEWPEORIPWEOJR.

I missed most of the gymnastics, though, but this makes me want to go search through YouTube to find it. And I hate YouTube, so that's a high compliment :D

[imagines]

Thank you!

All I could find was the last bit, but that's the BEST bit anyhow. Quick, quick, watch before NBC makes them take it down! XP

[hahahahowlucky]

ahh, thank you for not making me brave youtube!

I believe there's more men's gymnastics on tonight. Or women's. But, either way, uncommonly twisty people fascinate me.
