This essay is a beautiful tribute to Tatsuki Machida and a brilliant analysis of his short programme East of Eden (2013-2014 season):

Machida skated this programme as a homage to Michelle Kwan whom he held a deep admiration for and who skated the programme more than a decade earlier. If you are a fan of Machida and/or Kwan or just enjoy figure skating meta, I highly recommend reading this.

As a fan of both figure skating (including meta) and Yuri!!! On Ice, reading this article was a delicious double-serving. Machida is rumoured to be one of the figure skaters who inspired the character of Yuuri Katsuki, especially as Mitsurou Kubo is a huge fan of him. Machida's career had some striking parallels to Yuuri's and discovering these, makes my nerd heart beat faster.

Like Yuuri, Machida has the skill to make music with his body. His skating is just mesmerising. I wanted to honour this and thus had Yuuri skate the two programmes Machida skated in the 2013-2014 season in my canonverse AU A Song of Fiery Birds and Endless Winter, in which Yuuri and Viktor meet 2014 Winter Olympics. And we all know which fictional skater Yuuri holds a deep admiration for.

But I digress. Read the article. It's excellent.
