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.

I've only watched the first 5 episodes so far and it's super exciting! The characters all are written so well. 🥰

I thought The Summer Hikaru Died was just mystery horror, perfect for the spooky season. I wasn't prepared for the dash of what I call in a lack of better wording "horror homoerotica" 😍

There is not a single reason to outsource your creativity to a computer.

Not one.

To do so removes the very point of being creative in the first place.

This work week is so tough and stressful. I need the weekend to start already to stress over #GPFigure instead.

I keep trying to find the niche that would enjoy my book. Feedback has been very positive, but there doesn't seem to be the community for gay figureskating romance. Hopefully I just haven't found it yet :)

There are quite some creative ones in there. But actually, many look like people just put their user names well. Maybe I'm taking this too seriously. 😅🙈

the gay figure skating agenda @dancingontheblades.bsky.social · 17h

just my bsky handle 😔

I'm thinking about making a new account if I can come up with a cool team name today.

the gay figure skating agenda @dancingontheblades.bsky.social · 1d

I didn't see that players must enter their team name at registering, so now I'm playing fantasy skating with what was supposed to be my user name. I'm really playing this in the dumbest possible way.

the gay figure skating agenda @dancingontheblades.bsky.social · 4d

I never did fantasy skating before, I have no idea how it works and I'm likely gonna suck at it, but I've just signed up because it looks like fun.

I'm trying to conserve my energy for writing the stories that truly matter to me, that's all.

FYI: I'm not continuing the challenge. I don't know what got into me thinking this was an awesome idea. That was probably the last time I tried to do a fandom-y thing for this fandom.

After not posting anything for 13 days, I've cancelled my viktuuri kinktober challenge. I just don't have the time right now and my rejection sensitivity dysphoria got the better of me.

If you want to read delicious viktuuri smut, please just read my YOI fanfics (link in bio).

Thank you! Looks like I didn't read the form properly, I put my username in there...

the gay figure skating agenda @dancingontheblades.bsky.social · 1d

Thank you! I've signed up a few days ago and I'm not sure I did it correctly, where do I enter my team name?

the gay figure skating agenda @dancingontheblades.bsky.social · 1d

And maybe I should come up with some cool name? I no longer like my initial idea...

the gay figure skating agenda @dancingontheblades.bsky.social · 1d

The voting form is finally online but I still haven't found where I name my fantasy skating team. 🤷‍♀

At a time when billionaires would be all too happy to replace artists with AI slop, I think it's important to celebrate artists like Drew Struzan.

If you've seen a movie poster in the past 30+ years, you've seen something he did. A true master of the craft.

Omniscient narrator is not headhopping and when done expertly it can be an exciting narrative point of view.

Characters not following the script are not a bug but a feature that means that you've succeeded putting yourself in their shoes.

ChatGPT can never replace fanfic smut writers. We will always be superior. Never plug in a fanfic prompt into an AI generator. Just go ask a horny writer instead.

ICYMI: Another member of the far-right Sanseitō party in Japan has stirred controversy with her comments. Wada Keiko claimed that identifying as transgender could “spread contagiously,” likening it to a disease.

Wada Keiko further stated she believed transgender people needed medical treatment instead of accommodation and understanding.

Every now and again I'll stumble across someone here who will clearly be happier if they never interacted with me again (or, in some cases, at all) and it warms me to block them so they can avoid that terrible fate. They deserve their best Bluesky, which is one without me.

Covid was a wasted opportunity. During lockdown the climate of earth drastically improved, outdated work practices were uprooted & people had time for their own lives. It's a shame none of that continued.
