figure skating recs for darkgloom

[acchikocchi]

How I acquired this knowledge: during a stressful week sometimes you just want to read a lot of really ridiculous fic covering every trope known to man.


darkgloom is informed on Johnny/Stéphane so these are all Johnny/Evan. Starred are particularly satisfying.

Warning: all of these are in progress except for parallel universe #2, pairs, and sochi. but they update quickly.

-- the marriage of convenience*
-- the one where johnny gets amnesia
-- the one where johnny wakes up in a parallel universe*
-- the one where evan wakes up in a parallel universe*
-- the one where they're a pairs team
-- the one with the soulbonding at sochi* <-- THE ONE I WANT TO ACTUALLY HAPPEN uh minus the soulbonding
-- the parent trap AU
-- its backstory* <-- omg SO GOOD may possibly be my favorite for characterization
-- the one where evan wants johnny to teach him to be more genuine
-- the one with the leaked sex tape

other:
-- anything by favorite bandom writer jocondite, especially the johnny/stéphane cinderella AU

The problem with reading Johnny/Evan fic is, well, Evan. Who on a personal level is turning out to be such a tool it's almost endearing - is he seriously that clueless or is he hyper-aware and full of double meanings?? - but as a skater NO, NO, A THOUSAND TIMES NO. And, like, reminding myself EVERY DAY that he won gold (and nationals, and -- ) is so horrifying.

Someday I will wake up and the new scoring system will all be a bad dream.

Anyway, pairing-wise, I've always been incredibly fond of Lambiel but as usual I'm drawn to the train wreck instead. ._.

If you are avoiding the cut you may have a heartbreaking fanvid instead. T_T

Yes, that is exactly why I put it first with the asterisk hee hee hee. ^_^ There is definitely going to be more, it's only been about a week or so since the last update - I'm tracking the thread. Ahem.

And thank you, I do try. :D (If you find yourself thinking "hm, I have all this time and nothing to watch" I can hook you up with Johnny Weir's TV show, too, it is truly a thing of beauty and a joy forever.)

i. would it be asking too terribly much if i asked you for updates when it gets...updated. too many words the same um. sorry, bit braindead um. yes, will you let me know (twitter?) when it gets updated, because i let my paid account lapse and can no longer track threads. :(

god i wish 'i have all this time and nothing to watch' was ever my problem :( because i saw ads for that show and i was like YES MUST HAVE. only then....didn't. what channel is it on? is it on a channel? krisztina would totally watch that with me. i could talk her into it. *plots*

No problem, I totally understand! HAVE DONE SO. :D

It's on Sundance, though the first season is over - well, they're having a special episode covering the Olympics in June, but it's mostly over. They showed all the episodes last weekend and probably will again soon... or you could download them all here (http://acchikocchi.livejournal.com/98198.html). *whistles*

(Those are .mp4 but I've got .avi links around here too, somewhere.)
