Summary: Modern day AU featuring Stucky and Yuri on Ice! Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter are the top US pairs skating team going into the 2017-18 Olympic season, and it looks like it’s going to be their year. But when the Russian figure skating team descends on their training grounds, their command of the ice is challenged by Romanova and Barnes, one of Russia’s top teams. And Steve just might have found a special match in the eyes of Sasha Barnes. All their friends are pushing for Steve and Sasha to make a pair of their own, but neither man is out, and they just don’t know how to talk with each other. It’ll take all their friends - including their new friends skating legend Victor Nikiforov and his fiance Katsuki Yuri - to help the boys navigate the labyrinth of politics, social media, karaoke, the throw triple axel, and their own fears to end the New Cold War and skate to their own gold medal win.
First in a series inspired by Orithe’s art!
