YURI ON ICE x SPINNING OUT x THE L WORD

Looking for more figure skating after devouring THE FAVORITES? Look no further.

An updated #agentsguide to THE ICE BETWEEN US, a sapphic sports romance novel written by a 20-year sports journalism veteran.

#amquerying #writesky #WritingCommunity

Chloé LaFleur is an elite figure skater from Canada -- or she was until a devastating injury at the 2023 world championships ended her competitive career. Two years later, her childhood best friend convinces her to join the cast of Seasons on Ice, where she meets Freja Lindholm, an experienced show skater from Sweden with an ice queen reputation. There's friction between the two of them, especially when Chloé is forced to ask Freja for help in pairs.

Once the tour hits the road, their situation becomes even more tenuous when they're unexpectedly assigned to be roommates. They squabble and get in each other's way, but it's not long before they find themselves bonding. And soon, their friendship becomes something far more. But just when things start to heat up, Chloé finds herself thrust back into the spotlight of the figure skating world. Is her future on the Olympic track, or with Freja? Or is there a way for Chloé to have the best of both worlds?

Meet the stars

Chloé LaFleur
Age: 25 | Height: 5-4 | Hometown: Montreal
Role: Sun Queen
2022 Olympic Bronze Medalist
2022 & 2023 Canadian National Champion
Recently dumped by girlfriend of three years

Freja Lindholm

Age: 28 | Height: 5-10 | Hometown: Stockholm
Role: Snow Queen
Seventh year with “Seasons On Ice”
Skated pairs in Sweden
Has a rule: She doesn’t date skaters

THE first thing you learn as a figure skater is how to fall.
It seems counterintuitive. If you're standing on a slippery surface like ice wearing blades that are three millimetres thick, you're going to fall. Whether you learn or not. What you're learning is the proper technique to fall. This way, you help avoid serious injury, and you put yourself in the right position to get up quickly.
What Learn To Skate classes don't teach you, however, is how to recover when you've fallen so far you can't even begin to figure out how to get back up.
Exactly how far have I fallen, you ask?
Two thousand, four hundred and forty four kilometres from home, according to the Maps app on my phone. Sitting on the couch of my best friend's apartment in Florida, waiting to hear back about my audition for the skating show she's been begging me to join for the past year.

The #WIPSnips word for October 16th is “might”

I had quite a few snippets I loved with this word, but this one might be my favourite

Fuck Katya Morozova, fuck Madison Blair, and... fuck, I need another drink.
"Seriously, can we not talk about my love life?"
"Did Katya fuck like she skated, all technical and high intensity?" asks Kloe, who might even have less of a filter than Freja.
"Hey, I will have you know that Russian women are skilled lovers," says a voice from behind. I turn around to see we've been joined by Natalia Vasilyeva, the lone Russian in our cast. "You will never experience thrills like that again, Golden Girl."
"The French are much better in bed than the Russians," Genevieve says.
"Are you offering to prove it to the Golden Girl?" Kloe asks, as my cheeks turn redder than my dress.
"Désolée Chloé," Genevieve says, "you are not my type."

Make your anxieties fight each other and they’ll cancel out! (I know that’s not remotely how this works 😂)

I started to break in my skates at home tonight. Literally just walking around in them feels so much better than walking at the rink in rental skates.

My skates. This is the closest you’ll ever get to feet pics.

No, the dumbest possible way is the way I did, where I was like “screw logic, let’s go American pairs teams!”

Tali always felt like a little sister to me. Wrex was my inappropriate uncle. Ashley and her anti-alien sentiments can GTFO

I never once romanced Kaiden, despite all the hints that’s what the game wanted me to do. I’ve always been a Liara girlie.

This is about the point where the main story picks up IIRC. I liked ME1, adored ME2, and loved most of ME3 (I’ve played through the whole trilogy about a dozen times). ME3 finally got the combat system right IMO.

Adam Reisinger @adamreisinger.com · 1d

ME1 gets off to a slow start. And the Mako segments are just awful.

I have two WIPs in addition to going through edits on THE ICE BETWEEN US:

- Book Two in the Seasons On Ice series (Beth & Luc)
- A figure skating body swap novel (this one is mostly for fun).

Plus I have my figure skating blog, which I enjoy doing. #writingq #writingcommunity

Do you work on multiple writing projects at the same time? Right now, I’m working on some short stories, a novel, and a translation #writingq #WritingCommunity

The #WIPSnips word for October 15th is “care”

Chloé and Freja are fighting, and Freja starts saying things she’s probably gonna regret…

"You once told me that your father didn't care about the medals or the trophies, he just wanted you to be happy." My eyes get wide, because she is going down a road that will not lead her to good places. "Do you think he'd be happy with you? With your obsession with competing? With winning? It's all you care about. All you've ever cared about."

Also, if the government is anti-antifa, does that mean the official stance of the US government is pro-fascism? (Sadly, I know the answer to this, but I’d love a White House reporter to ask it on the record)

Oh, I’m very specific about Chloé reading smutty romantasy (though she does occasionally detour into spicy CR)

Manifesting success for you!
