 From St. Petersburg with Love a #yurionice fanfiction by dancing_on_the_blades

Summary:

    When your greatest dream has come true, when you’ve found the one who finishes your duet, the most compelling tale begins.

    Yuuri has shown to the world that he can meet Viktor as an equal on the ice. Viktor has found the prince he stopped believing in a lifetime ago. Two hearts, once ready to sacrifice the ice for love, now united on the ice and in love.

    Determined to win gold before their wedding, Yuuri is burning to compete against his coach and fiancé, while Viktor is ready to break the shackles of his past with his passion rekindled. Now that the lovers have moved in together in St. Petersburg, nothing finally stands between them and their desire to become rivals. Or so they have thought. For sharing a domestic life and adapting to a foreign country comes with new challenges, and a legacy left behind no longer opens every door. And if that wasn’t already a hell of a lot to deal with, a throwaway comment that was meant to be a joke threatens Yuuri’s stay in Russia.

    Will Stay by my side and never leave be all Yuuri and Viktor need to overcome the obstacles life throws in their path, or will Yuuri come to the realisation that he will never be enough for the Russian Hero? An illustration of Yuuri and Viktor from Yuri!!! On Ice. They walk over Tuchkov Bridge towards the rink in think winter clothing, holding hands. Viktor holds Makkachin on the leash. The river is frozen. In the background are buildings with snow-covered roofs and the dome of St. Isaac's Cathedral. The sun is setting behind the buildings and some fluffy orange clouds cover the sky. Cover illustration for my YOI post-canon story "From St. Petersburg with Love", done by @cosmiclionart.

You're in for a write then! Witnessing all the build-up will make any Olympics drama even more delicious! (or agonising) 😂

Oh right, that was the one where I stopped.
I think this series somehow went past my notice. I loved Agent Carter back then and was sad when they didn't continue it.

Oh, then this is your first Olympic season! Are you excited?

young skater's origin story, the other is a story about a struggling senior skater.

My only (small) criticism is the lack of serious stakes or some challenges for Inori to overcome on her way to novices. It felt a tad too easy storytelling-wise.

Anyway, if you love skating, you will love Medalist.

At first I was hesitant to watch it because as a die-hard fan of Yuri on Ice, there was a risk my special interest would switch before I'm ready (other autistics might relate). But comparing both anime is like comparing apples and oranges because the premises are totally different. One is a

I've finished Medalist! It was such a cute and wholesome anime, I'm glad I gave it a try. The story is so uplifting and gives so much insight into beginner's figure skating--an area I as an avid watcher of seniors know little about. From what I've learned so far, it's done very well.

Can recommend👍

I gave up on keeping up with the MCU after Infinity War, but unless my brain misremembers, some stuff is only explained in the comics.🤔

this trend is perfect when you write disaster characters who have no idea how to be functioning humans 😇

GUARD YOUR BLADES is:

💙 rivals to lovers
⛸ secrets and scandals
💙 self-discovery and found family

share your couples art! ❤️🌈
Digital artwork in the style of antique fairy tales with  detailed frame. It's Hansry fanart with Hans and Henry standing in the middle of it, Hans's head on Henry's shoulder. 
It also has a quote from a medieval love poem woven into a frame Mydei and Mynaxa from HSR painted in a digital wstercolor style as a tarot card that says "King and Bishop"
Anaxa sits on Mydei's lap while Mydei sits on a red crystal throne. Digital watercolor artwork features two men wearing Victorian clothing, kiss passionately. 
One is tall and ginger the over is short and dark haired. Digital watercolor artwork. Two men in victorian attire stand close to each other. One man is taller, he's fully dressed and has fiery red long hair. He stand with his back to the viewer. The other man is shorter and only wears a long victorian shirt. He rests his chin on the  other man's shoulder and holds his hand.

It cannot be made clearer.

Just Mappa haters being Mappa haters again and twisting every word into their narrative. I thought I had already blocked all of them who migrated from Twitter, but had missed some...

I always add "figure skating" and the year but it's a hell of a lot to type 😅

This interview reminded me why I'm no longer interested in getting involved in the YOI fandom unless I meet someone who maintains a healthy realtionship to our mutual special interest, and those fans tend to be on the periphery like me.

This is tragic and I hope that people will understand that any compromise in such a situation would have done a disservice both to the fans and to the original anime. #yurionice #yoi

Such comeback cases always makes me think that a rule should exist that skating federations must give their Olympic spots to skaters who earned it or have been active over the last few seasons (not counting timeout due to injury). There certainly is a moral component that ought to be considered.
