1. My OTP is REAL. I'd heard about them passing notes during the KOI press conference but this, omg. *____________*

2. Also? Those daily communities (lambiel_daily and jgweir_daily are making my LIFE. Every day I wake up and there are pretty pretty pictures on my flist. I like this series of Stephane!

3. You should really go read willowbell's fic. Armor For Our Tender Bodies! Five people who turned down Johnny and Evan for a threesome, and one who became a permanent part of their relationship. It is hilarious and sweet and awesome, and the final pairing (which I don't want to spoil) makes me ship a ship I thought I'd read but wouldn't actively ship.

4. nova33 has written a Five Things fic! Five people who discovered Johnny's tendency to wear lingerie, and one person who liked it almost as much as Johnny. There is no sex per se, but it's awesome and hot and so, so revealing. Basically, she wrote the fic I wanted to write and wrote it way better than I ever could. I would be jealous if not for the fact that I am beside myself with glee that this exists. Go read it.

5. You know what I'd read? Mao/Yuna fic. THIS IS WHAT THE FANDOM NEEDS MORE OF GODDAMNIT. forochel has informed me that there is some hatesex on the kink meme, but a) too lazy to go look for it and b) I don't want hatesex! :( If people can write schmoopy Evan/Johnny, I don't see why they can't do it for Mao/Yuna. Yuna is so adorable, you guys. *____________*

5a. No really, so cute: (The truth is) I've never said Toppoki is my favorite but it's been reported so. (In fact) it was like this: Reporters frequently ask me, "Don't you feel like eating Toppoki with your friends?" Then I go, "Y..e..s?" then there're reports coming out that I like Toppoki.

I HIGHLY SUPPORT MAO/YU-NA, THIS IS TRUTH.

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

RIGHT?? Where are all the stories where they were princesses and grew up together in a neighbouring court and then returned to their respective countries and are expected to be rivals, but aren't really?

[hapakitsune.livejournal.com]

THAT WOULD BE AWESOME

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

The tabloids keep hounding them for remarks about each other! Sometimes the reporters make those unnecessarily catty. They were friends when they were kids, but now there's all this media and all these shitty expectations -- who will uphold the greatness of her kingdom's legacy, etc -- and it doesn't help that their countries have traditionally rivals.

Mao hears that Yuna's going to be crowned queen. She doesn't know how to reconcile Queen Yuna with the Yeon-ah (this is one of my favourite parts of Yuna canon. Her name is Yeon-ah! But everyone spells it Yuna!) she knew in childhood. But she knows it's probably real.

[hapakitsune.livejournal.com]

Apparently it's Yu-Na because when she filled out stuff for Canada, it got messed up somehow. But yeah, it's pronounced Yeon-ah, as I was informed by my Korean coworkers. I LIKE THIS IDEA YOU ARE PROPOSING.

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

(Oh, I didn't know. That makes sense, though!)

Mao's tenth in line for the throne. "That's better than seventieth," Lady Shizuka points out, but they both know she's kidding. Lady Shizuka wouldn't like to be monarch. Neither, Mao thinks, would she. Mostly she's just princess.

When they'd both gone away from China, Yuna had hugged Mao from her carriage and whispered, "You'll write, won't you? Tell me you'll write first." The only reason Mao hadn't hugged back as hard as she'd have liked was that the carriage door was in the way.

"Not unless you write first," Mao said, perfectly serious, and Kim had smiled like she knew Mao would write first. The horsemen had cracked the whip and the carriage started moving.

"Not unless you write first!" Mao yelled after her, but she didn't know if Yuna could hear, even though she leaned out of the carriage and waved hard, her handkerchief fluttering in the wind. And then Mao's handler had taken her indoors and given her a scolding about dignified partings.

Neither of them had written. Mao still had Yuna's address, of course, but she'd said she wouldn't write first, and anyway Yuna was probably too busy.

[hapakitsune.livejournal.com]

OH MY GODDDDDDD PLEASE WRITE THIS.

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

OH GOD NO I SUCK AT FINISHING LONGFIC.

(I want it so much, though. SERIOUSLY. Long-distance pining! Much wearing of ceremonial dress! Lame international intrigue! Sigh sigh sigh.)

[hapakitsune.livejournal.com]

Well, I can't write it, I have like eleventy billion things on my to-do list. SO THAT LEAVES YOU OKAY.

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

IDK I JUST WANT TO KEEP COMMENTFICCING THIS FOREVER.

The first time they met each other properly, as adults, it was in a foreign country.

Yuna had become Yuna. Mao couldn't see why herself, but she'd been assured that Yuna could no longer be formally known as "Yeon-ah" now that she was going to become queen.

The Tsar of Russia had decided there must be a party, and had thrown a huge bash to commemorate the coming of the new year, but really everyone knew it was to celebrate Yuna's upcoming coronation. The Emperor and Empress of China were there too, with their new baby. Mao was relieved. That would be two extra people she actually knew and liked, and she was grateful to them for allowing her to grow up at their court.

(She liked being back in Japan, of course, but sometimes she missed the Chinese court more than was proper to admit.)

"You must look your best," she had been told, and she knew it was because Yuna would undoubtedly also be there looking her best. But Mao did like dressing up, and so she wore her new kimono without any fuss, and put on her makeup as carefully as she could.

"I like it," her sister said. "You look gorgeous, Mao!"

She'd been at the ball for twenty minutes when Yuna's name was announced. Unbidden, everyone turned to look as the great doors swung open. And there in the doorway -- not even half the doors' height -- was Yuna. Mao's breath caught in her throat.

Well, she's beautiful, Mao thought. She was surprised to find that there was nothing -- no jealousy, no bitterness -- in that thought except wonder.

[forochel.livejournal.com]

AND OBVIOUSLY KOREA AND JAPAN ARE VASSAL STATES TO CHINA THUS THE FOSTERING OF YUNA AND MAO THERE AND -

Mah commentfic: rooted in HISTORY.

[aurora]

1) Noooooooooooootes! So adorable. :D

2) Daily pics comms make everything better. I'm also enjoying the Evan and Daisuke ones.

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

1. I KNOW. There is no way they are not twelve year olds at a sleepover. ilthem so much. ♥

2. Ooh! I hadn't known about the Daisuke one. As for Evan... the only reason I haven't joined is I'm not sure if I really want to admit I'm that invested. /o\

Is there a Joubert one? Or a Yuna one? I GUESS I SHOULD SEARCH FOR THOSE.

[aurora]

1. I love that Johnny writes in French and Stéphane writes in English and they make me smile a lot. A LOT.

2. daisha_daily FTW!

As for Evan... the only reason I haven't joined is I'm not sure if I really want to admit I'm that invested. /o\
Heeee! Just give in, bro.

joubert_daily also exists, but looks pretty inactive so far. No clue about Yuna; must investigate.

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

1. Yes! that switching between languages thing is so lovely! ♥

2. Well the Joubert one was only created a couple of days ago, so hopefully they'll start posting soon?

OH GOD the Evan one is full of pictures of him looking weirdly orange. IDK. You know what there should be? A Lysacek audio daily. I would listen to his stupid monotone every day.

[aurora]

1. I love that they have such a multilingual relationship. How are they real?? :D

2. Yeah, I think they still need to prepare the comm and pimp it. Bring it on.

A Lysacek audio daily. I would listen to his stupid monotone every day.
His mmmmmonotone makes me smile now, yes I'm that far gone. And that's a great community idea! I just don't have that many interviews/soundbytes of him.

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

I was following the thread on weirsjohnny with great interest. MULTILINGUAL DIRTY TALK *__________________*

Me neither! I am not a collector of these things. I just think it should exist. For justice.

[aurora]

MULTILINGUAL DIRTY TALK *__________________*
Yesssss! That one hit my buttons pretty hard.

I just think it should exist. For justice.
True. There should at least be an Evan quotes archive. Maybe accompanied by some dramatic/mmmonotonous readings.

[nova33.livejournal.com]

Wow, so I'm just going to hijack this thread to tell you both that you should definitely get working on this Evan audio comm. That would make my life. And obviously what I want is super important to both of you.

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

It totally is, don't even front. ♥

[nova33.livejournal.com]

Then where is my awesome comm, lady? ♥ (Did you see the video of Evan talking to the paparazzi? He is adorable and hilarious and adorable AND I LOVE HIM. In case you hadn't gotten that by now.)

(Side note: I need more skating icons.)

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

I DID NOT SEE THAT VIDEO OH MAN. Link?

(I've already maxed out all my icon slots. Oh my god, what is this madness.)

[nova33.livejournal.com]

THIS IS A TRAVESTY. Here it is! ♥____♥

(Uh, yeah, me too. And I have a paid account. But I don't know which icons to give up in favour of more skating icons!)

[aurora]

But I don't have enough Evan audio. :( :(

[nova33.livejournal.com]

I bet if you asked everyone at _skating, you'd be able to find enough to put it together. :D :D :D :D

[roadmarks.livejournal.com]

I'm not even really in skating fandom but that note still made me beam. :D

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

How could you possibly not? Twelve year olds at a sleepover. Tweeeeeeeeelve. ♥

[forochel.livejournal.com]

FIVE THINGS LINGERIE ASKLDAJSLKAJLSJDLIJELJALSKJE nurrrrrrrr *RUNS OFF TO READ*

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

I can't believe I didn't link you!!

[forochel.livejournal.com]

NEITHER CAN I

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

I just looked through my chatlogs and I SO DID. You just didn't read it.

[insert Evan's "obviously" gif here]

[forochel.livejournal.com]

CLEARLY I WAS BUSY WORKING OUT MATHS PROBLEMS THEN

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

I linked you on the 9th of April. THERE IS NO EXCUSE. I think you distracted me with marriagefic afterwards though.

[forochel.livejournal.com]

then I was evidently busy writing and didn't see it



also ytd night I wasn't online because I was writing in my planner. now I have to transcribe all that shit, fml.

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

I wasn't online either! I was reading Dracula, which is kind of a stupid book. IN CASE YOU WERE THINKING OF READING.

[nova33.livejournal.com]

1. Your OTP is adorable, I agree.

2. Stephane is also unbelievably adorable. Have you seen this video of him teaching small children how to skate? I kind of almost died from the cuteness (and also how he just seems like such a genuinely nice person).

3. That fic was amazing, and I loved the final pairing. (Makes you ship a ship, huh? Actively ship it THIS INSTANT.)

4. Aw, thank you, bb! I don't think I wrote it better than you could - it was your brainchild, after all - but I appreciate the sentiment. ♥

5. I will, as always, support this endeavour. (She is pretty cute.)

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

1. It really is. Also: real. *cackles*

2. I saw it but went off to work! Thanks for reminding me. HOW AWESOME IS IT, and also I love Amelie and you know how they say Stephane is essentially a boy version of Audrey Tautou -- so basically that was everything good in the world ever, even leaving out the fact that he's COACHING little CHILDREN.

2a. Speaking of coaching little children, you know who else's done it? Johnny Weir! Dude, you need to see BGJW, seriously. It's in one of the episodes and he tells kids to "tuck in your stomach like it's very very tight" and that he was once a taller girl, too. SO BASICALLY IT'S NOT JUST STEPHANE, Johnny is secretly a woobie too. *________*

3. ONLY IN THAT UNIVERSE. Why do I get the feeling that your definition of 'actively ship' is 'write more stories'?

4. IT WAS AMAZING AND I LOVE IT A LOT. Are you going to write a sequel? You should write a sequel.

5. You are the most supportive. ♥ (I started writing a second Yuna/Mao story. What is this shit, self.)

[nova33.livejournal.com]

1. WHATEVER. YOU KNOW THERE IS SECRET HATE!SEX GOING DOWN IN LOCKER ROOMS FROM TIME TO TIME. (My tinhat, let me show you it.)

2a. Um, oh my goodness, I really do need to see this show. I will have to find those linsk someone sent me and actually watch it, I guess, despite the pain it will cause me.

3. ...because it totally is? Dude, come on! You're writing all sorts of stuff and you can't write the OT3 of my heart? What is this?

4. Okay, I have been thinking about writing a sequel. But I need to discuss some things with you. Like, does Johnny maybe become really closed off as a result of the thing with Evan, and sort of shoves all his lovely lingerie into a box at the back of his closet? But then maybe one day he and Evan have a moment (I don't know what, exactly, would happen, but use your imagination for the time being) and then a few weeks later, he gets this mysterious package in the mail? And it is awesomely sexy lingerie, with a little note - unsigned - that says something like, "I'm sorry." and "I hope this is an okay colour." MAYBE SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

5. I try. ♥ (Oh man, why do I feel like I'm going to be doing A LOT of beta reading in the coming weeks?)

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

1. I BET THEY HOOKED UP AT THE 2001 JUNIORS. This will become canon once you write about it.

2. You totally suck, because you DO need to watch this show. You DO.

3. You're writing all sorts of stuff and you can't write the OT3 of my heart?

... because I am writing all sorts of stuff. /o\ I was going to do this sensibly and write one story at a time! At first it was just the Stephane/Johnny fic and then it's A WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHER STUFF, and everything sucks why can't I just make stories appear on the screen with the power of my mind. :(

That said, writing! :D? :D? :D!

4. YOU HAVE TO WRITE IT NOW. I like thinking about this eventuality! I think you may have to sell me a little bit on how Johnny gets closed off (it might work if Johnny always had a thing for Evan, rather than never having considered him a possibility? But if this is to be true, maybe you have to provide some background?), but omg YES. He gets a mysterious package in the mail! I want that part so much. *shiny eyes* Write it. Please. I think Johnny wouldn't acknowledge that, but wear it anyway, and Evan has to woo him with LOTS MORE LINGERIE. In conclusion, yes, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

5. That's because you totally are. *cracks whip*

[nova33.livejournal.com]

1. I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE.

2. I will, I swear!

2a. Okay, so maybe you can just add the OT3 fic to the end of that list? Just so I can sleep at night knowing that one day it may get written? *winning smile*

Writing is definitely awesome! I am just so glad to have written something again; I miss it, when I don't.

4. I meant that Johnny gets closed off about the way Evan disappears, so it's more about his self-worth being kind of screwed up than any sort of pining to do with Evan. Does that make sense? I think that maybe Evan was never a real possibility, but then there was that moment where suddenly he was, and Johnny didn't feel at all self-conscious about the lingerie - even though, in the past, even when he's hooked up with people who've liked it, he's still felt like it was something he might need to defend at any moment. So for a brief moment things worked, and then Evan freaked out and Johnny is just...sort of a mess.

But yeah, I think that maybe Evan has his big gay freakout, and then starts sending Johnny lingerie, and at first Johnny ignores it and shoves it in the back of his closet with the rest...but then one day he starts wearing it? And I think maybe he sees Evan at a function - or something, I don't know - and Evan wants to talk to him and sort of puts his hands on Johnny's back to steer him to a private corner, and then he feels the bra clasp through Johnny's shirt and just freezes in the middle of the party.

...or something.

5. *sigh* Such a slave driver.

[colourmeshocked.livejournal.com]

I AM FIRMLY IN THE EVAN/JOHNNY/STEPHANE CAMP! just felt like typing that out

Also, call me crazy but I swear I keep seeing your name pop up everywhere on my f-list! Be it in bandom fics, skating fics or in mutual friends posts-- you've been a busy fandom bee ;D

&hearts

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

You're definitely not crazy; it's definitely me living half my life online! This wave of newfound fannishness is so amazing. It started with figure skating and suddenly it's like I've fallen back in love with bandom again. *_____________*

I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW IT WOULD WORK OKAY. I think I would still only read it in the context of an established Johnny/Evan relationship, bla bla bla unrealistic as that is.

[colourmeshocked.livejournal.com]

I think I would still only read it in the context of an established Johnny/Evan relationship, bla bla bla unrealistic as that is.
to come to think of it... LOL. Yeah. I think I'd only be into the fic if it was a J/E thing first ;)

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

Hey, bb, not at all! It was a PLEASURE. Oh god, OT3. *draws hearts all around* Clearly I have no scruples left.

I HAVE NOT HEARD OF THE 12 DANCING PRINCESSES. However, I think you should just quit your day job and come tell me stories all the time. *chinhands*

I WILL TRY MY BEST TO MAKE HER WRITE A SEQUEL.

:( :( :( Actualfax writing is hard! With commentficcing there is a whole bunch of handwavy stuff -- "blah blah blah, they grew up, whatever" -- that you don't actually have to write. And I don't want to write about them growing up! I just want to write about them falling in tender sweet love plus bonus international intrigue. LIFE IS HARD. (Although I will email you. Or something. I haven't even started on that thing we're supposed to be writing together, because I suck, uh. I am going to try to start on that tomorrow! I'M SORRY I STILL LOVE YOU OKAY. If I did not reply to your fabulous fic wot you sent me, it was because I was wallowing in shame.)

Those daily communities are the best. *nods* THE JOUBERT ONE IS ACTIVE NOW, TOO. And in conclusion: Stephane's stomach in the flagbearing series. Yes.
