Should Just Be

Johnny/Stéphane
NC-17
4649 words

Stéphane Lambiel loves a lot of things. Johnny Weir is just one of them. Thanks to nova33 and lemniciate, the best betas a girl could ask for. Written for lilpinktassel.

( Sometimes Stéphane feels like the whole world is filled with love. )

So part of this was written before Twittergate, and I abandoned it before realising that I really wanted to finish writing it, and... here it is. /o\ To be fair, Evan Lysacek is kind of a douchebag in this.

Keep The Car Running

Mirai & Evan gen
872 words

Mirai takes driving lessons from Evan. Set in summer of 2009.

Thanks to alexthegreat for the beta and factchecking!

( Mirai was learning how to drive. She wasn't very good at it yet. )

fs_exchange, dudes! This is the part where I link to the fics I wrote, and also tell you a story.

So what happens is sometimes you get a request with four prompts, and three of them are Johnny/Evan and one of them is a request for Evan & Mirai gen, and you think that Mirai is really great, but on the other hand you don't really know much about her, so maybe you'll write Johnny/Evan instead, and you have a whole scenario in your head but when you start writing all you have written is the (slightly sad) ending, and then alexthegreat says, "I want a fic where Evan acts as Mirai's older brother," and then you chatfic it out, and you ask if you can write it into a story, even though you haven't given up on the Johnny/Evan thing yet!!!*

* this is a lie. I totally gave up on it in the end.

Then you decide, hey, might as well do more research on Mirai, and then you start looking for all the articles and interviews ever and you fall HEADS OVER HEELS IN LOVE WITH HER, and cannot restrain yourself. You post a lot about her and also make a primer because everyone should love her. Everyone! Then when your exchange story finally gets written, you should obnoxiously title it after Arcade Fire, because obviously that is her theme song omg, and serenely ignore the fact that it is rather obvious wrote it because you are completely subtle about these things.

... my god that was some egregious usage of second person and probably more information than you wanted to know. Anyway, I wrote fic! I considered reposting it here, partially because I made some canon errors in my story, but I like having comments in one place.

Thanks to alexthegreat for starting it all, and nova33 for the beta.

Also, I wrote a pinch-hit!

Thanks to alexthegreat for betaing. Warning: unhappy ending.

This has been a pretty great exchange. I had a lot of fun writing, and reading the fic written for me! Yay!

Oh, just call it poorly-disguised chatfic, you guys. alexthegreat said, "I want the story where Stephane is pissing Johnny off with his diva antics, and Johnny just turns on him and says, 'SHUT UP.' ", and things kind of went downhill from there. It's kind of embarrassing how much I like this story, though. :D?

Jesenice by alexthegreat and unlurkster

Johnny/Stéphane
NC-17
2522 words

This is set in Niigata, Japan, during the upcoming Fantasy On Ice show there. Another thing that is humiliating: how I have about four different versions of How Things Play Out there in my head.

“English,” Johnny says, as snottily as he can. “Don't you know where you are right now?” Stéphane looks confused, because he does, they're in Japan. Johnny slaps him, just to throw him off balance.

( He never knows when to stop. )

If you want something done, clearly the only answer is forcing someone to do it with you! Therefore there was accosting on Gchat.

Hide Your Passions In Between by preromantics and unlurkster

Eva Rodríguez/Sasha Cohen
NC-17
4683 words

This is Eva Rodríguez from Center Stage, who was the best damn thing about that sad, sad (yet totally awesome) movie. She was played by Zoe Saldana. This is Sasha Cohen. She is a figure skater. She is extremely bendy. As for the rest -- well, there is no excuse. And yet I TOTALLY SHIP IT. strange_bt_true thought of it first, too.

Title from Hawksley Workman. Obviously this is all made up.

"Ballet," Eva said. "Lots of bitchy people." she leaned forward and quirked her mouth at Sasha. "The straight dudes especially."

( She didn't want any fucking ballerinas on her night out. )

Today miznarrator accosted (accosted!!) me on Gchat and said, "Someone needs to write the fic where Johnnny catches Evan at a Gaga concert," and uh. My shame is great for this one.

Year of Gaga

Johnny/Evan
PG
2492 words.

Enabled (heinously so) by miznarrator and audienced + betaed by nova33.

What's a bro to do at a Lady Gaga concert?

( Evan hadn't meant to become a fan of Gaga, exactly. )

ETA preromantics wrote a sequel to this fic, which you can read here -- ILU, Meg!!!

Posting my last fic with a note that went like -- hi, new friends! I am glad you exist! -- would have been neat, but disingenuous, because I'd started writing it much earlier. This one, though, was written for you guys, and hastily dashed off, but with much love. Hi! ♥

Two Kinds of Presence in the World

Title from Tom Stoppard's Night & Day.

Betaed by loreleilynn. Also many thanks to willowbell, who talked to me once about Siken. I ended up stealing her idea! I hope you forgive me, duder.

"What do you want to do in Jersey?" Johnny asks. "I mean, we could go up to New York, but as for New Jersey -- I don't know if you noticed the last time you were here, but there isn't much to do."

( Johnny picks him up at the airport dressed surprisingly simply, pale blue t-shirt under a hoodie. )

The Form Will Hold You

Johnny/Stéphane

Written for, and partially filled at this prompt at wintergameskink. A sequel to Aptly Laced!

Title from Kate Light's How Sonnets Are Like Bungee Jumping.

Betaed by nova33, who was a lovely rockstar as always. ♥

The corset cuts lower than Johnny expected – there’s a whole expanse of bare skin from the top of Stéphane’s shoulders, down to the valley of his chest.

I disclaim.

( Johnny pushes at Stéphane's hip and there's no give. )

And here it is: a story where Stéphane buys Johnny lingerie! You know it had to happen eventually, right?

It's not by any means the last great performance of Johnny Weir's life, but it still ranks pretty high.

nova33 and battleofhydaspe were of INVALUABLE help in betaing this and stopping it from sucking. forochel listened while I bitched to her about it on Google chat, and enabled. Thanks, guys.

This is fiction.

( It all starts with a wedding announcement. )
