Raspberry Twist

Quinn Hughes/Ilia Malinin (background Jack Hughes/Nico Hischier & Quinn Hughes/Kirill Kaprizov) • 5.3k words • complete

angst | mentioned/internalized homophobia | family angst/A+ parenting | brotherly love | ESC | strangers with benefits

Hockey x Figure Skating at the Olympics with a touch of heated rivalry vibes (hockey player who grew up in Canada meets closeted Russian athlete)

Quinn doesn’t get the chance to meet him until weeks later when the Olympics have already kicked off, a gold medal already around Ilia’s neck as he saunters into the dining hall, cheeks flushed from the cold, hair windswept, blue eyes bright with victory and a bit of mischief.

this was originally supposed to just be a short little pwp to poke fun at the olympic athletes are incapable of staying out of one another’s beds allegations, but the angst and feelings just wormed their way in and i simply couldn’t resist. the similarities of ilia and quinn’s circumstances matched with the juxtaposition of ilia doing it all on his own whilst quinn had his brothers to support him/keep him sane/bear some of that burden of fulfilling their parents failed dreams…

some info for those who might not be as entrenched in all of this stuff as i have been for the past few years:

ilia malinin’s parents are russian born figure skaters who moved to uzbekistan and represented it in the olympics. his father, roman skorniakov, competed in the 1998 and 2002 olympics where he finished 19th both times. his mother, tatiana malinina, also competed in the 1998 olympics where she achieved 8th place. she qualified for the 2002 olympics as well and was considered to be in contention to medal, but she was forced to withdraw due to a bad case of the flu.

they are now ilia’s coaches. ilia’s mother did not go to these olympics with him because it would be “too stressful” for her to be there and after ilia’s disastrous free skate, his father couldn’t even look at him and didn’t so much as hug him.

and then there’s quinn’s parents. jim went undrafted and couldn’t even crack it in the minors and ellen wasn’t able to play in the olympics because that wasn’t available to women at the time.

they coached the boys growing up and jim continues to do so in the off-seasons. he has publicly refused to say he’s proud of them in instances where he was directly asked if he was and would threaten to burn their gear if he didn’t think they were trying hard enough and there’s a video of quinn saying “i love you” and jim just saying “okay” back.

do with that info what you will, but that was inspo i took into writing this.

i hope you enjoy it and give it a chance even if figure skating isn’t your thing!

Hello internet, where do I acquire Qatari high jumper/Italian high jumber(/Italian sprinter)?

Asking for a friend... 😇

It's Winter Olympics season and you know what that means. Time to read my Apolo Ohno/Johnny Weir fic from 2010 where I smushed my favorite male Olympians together until they kissed!

Maybe you'd like to take a break from hockey players and read this story about a short track speed skater and a figure skater rooming together at the Olympics. One of them is having an existential crisis and a sexual awakening at the same time. The other isn't getting his hopes up. Featuring some classic smithereen themes like homophobia and emotionally fraught blow jobs.

Diving RPF fics masterlist

Feels weird to call it masterlist when there's only one fic on it, BUT I hope to write more about diving someday, so may as well call it masterlist already now lol

As usual, below you can find title, AO3 link, and current status.

Lost Move Syndrome, Dustin Lance Black/Tom Daley, long fic, work in progress

You ever reread a beautiful fic like it's amazingly well written and lovely and you just have to see what else the author has written and uh. Well. Let's just say you're not going to read any of it
