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.

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.

(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.

OH MY GODDDDDDD PLEASE WRITE THIS.

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.)

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.
