“On Thin Ice”

Pairing: Chris Sturniolo x Reader

The morning of your competition was filled with a mixture of nerves and excitement. You had been training for years—perfecting your jumps, spins, and choreography—and today was one of the biggest days of your life. As an Olympic-level figure skater, you had faced the pressure and the crowds before, but each competition still felt like it was your first.

Your partner in all of this? Chris.

Chris was there with you, supporting you not just as your boyfriend but as your biggest fan. He had always been there, cheering you on from the sidelines during practices and competitions. And today, he was ready to film the day’s events for a vlog—one that would showcase just how hard you worked to get to where you were.

As you walked into the arena, the noise of skates scraping against the ice, the low hum of the crowd, and the announcers preparing for the event filled the air. You took a deep breath, trying to calm your racing heart. You had done this a thousand times in practice, but the pressure of the competition was different. This was the big stage. The moment that could define your career.

Chris, standing next to you with his camera in hand, caught your attention with a smile. “You got this, babe,” he said softly, squeezing your hand. “I’m so proud of you. No matter what happens today, you’re already amazing.”

You smiled back, the warmth of his words helping to ease the tension in your chest. “Thanks, Chris. I’m nervous, but I’m ready.”

“Hey, you’ve landed quadruple jumps in practice. This is nothing compared to that,” he joked, even though you both knew how serious this competition was.

He set up the camera to film you as you warmed up, doing a few laps around the rink and running through some basic moves. Your body was in sync with the ice, moving gracefully yet powerfully. Chris filmed, capturing every moment with pride in his eyes.

“You make it look so easy,” Chris said with a chuckle, clearly in awe.

“I wish it was,” you replied with a smile, taking a deep breath and preparing to run through your routine one last time before the competition began. “But that’s the magic of skating. A lot of hard work goes into it, even if it looks effortless.”

The time had finally come. Your name was called, and the lights dimmed as the announcer introduced you. You took a moment to collect yourself, then skated confidently toward the center of the rink. The crowd cheered, and the atmosphere buzzed with anticipation.

Chris, ever the supportive boyfriend, was right there with the camera, capturing everything.

You started your program with a fluid glide, your movements precise and deliberate. The music built, and with it, your confidence. You were focused on the routine, every jump, every spin, every landing.

The crowd gasped as you soared into the air, performing your first quadruple jump. You felt the ice beneath you, the cold air rushing past as you spun in the air, landing perfectly. The sound of applause echoed in the arena, but you didn’t let it distract you. There was more to come.

Next, you executed another quad jump, the most difficult move in your routine. The height, the speed, the technique—it all came together perfectly. You nailed the landing again.

Chris was filming, his eyes glued to you. “That’s my girl!” he cheered under his breath, unable to hide his pride.

The final part of your routine was the hardest: a combination of jumps and spins that required both stamina and grace. The pressure was on, but you had prepared for this moment. You finished your program with a perfect triple axel and a series of spins that left the crowd speechless.

The final note of your music echoed through the arena as you came to a flawless stop, arms outstretched. The audience erupted into applause, and you smiled, trying to steady your breath. You had done it. You had given it your all.

Chris immediately ran to you, setting the camera down for a moment as he wrapped you in a tight hug. “You were incredible,” he said, his voice filled with admiration.

“I’m not sure if I stuck the landing perfectly on the second quad, but I tried,” you admitted, a nervous smile on your face.

“You nailed it,” he said, brushing a strand of hair from your face. “You always do.”

The judges’ scores were announced, and your heart raced as you waited for the results. The tension in the arena was palpable. And then—“First place goes to Y/N!”

You couldn’t believe it. The crowd cheered, and the weight of the moment hit you all at once. You had won.

Chris picked up the camera again, turning it to face you. “You did it, babe! You’re the champion!” he exclaimed.

Tears welled up in your eyes as you clutched the gold medal around your neck. You couldn’t have done it without Chris by your side. He had been there for every practice, every hard day, and now, he was there for the best day of your career.

As the crowd cheered, Chris kissed you on the cheek, his smile beaming. “I’m so proud of you, Y/N. You’ve earned this.”

And as you both walked off the ice, the camera still rolling, you knew that this victory was just one of many you would achieve with Chris by your side. Your Olympic journey had only just begun.

✦ what was your easiest fic to write & your hardest?

☉ what do you do when you get stuck writing?

✄ what’s your editing process?

✎ how do you think readers would guess a fic was yours if you posted anonymously?

tysm for the ask!! 🩵🩵 be prepared for a lot of yapping

✦ what was your easiest fic to write & your hardest?

easiest fic: this is a bit of a hard qn bc ive written 58 fics so far through the years and i forgot half the things i wrote kfjjfj but id say, the easiest was probably my first ever real fic, i.e. this hualian hurt/comfort fic where hc has a nightmare of the 100 swords scene. it was the first thing i wrote right after finishing reading tgcf and i wrote it all in one go and the dialogue & actions & characterization flowed so easily, i could picture the scene so easily in my head (which doesn't always happen for me). and writing hualian felt like the easiest thing in the world bc back in 2020 every little detail about them as characters and as a ship was imprinted in my mind so vividly... i miss those days 😔 my memory abilities have deteriorated since then

otherwise, iirc my first ever fengqing fic and my fenglian poem were also very easy to write

hardest fic: 😭😭 this could be so many of my fics tbh, there's so many i struggle so much with.. especially the unfinished wips, bc everything i actually posted means it wasn't the hardest, since i actually managed to finish them

but among my posted wips, i definitely struggled with the earlier chapters of my hualian fake dating au very badly at the earlier chapters and almost gave up on it which was why there was a 1-2 year gap btwn updates 😭😭 i actually went into a 1-2 year long burnout right after posting chap 1. luckily though, the most recent chapters got much better for me, finally reached a part of the story that's much easier and more fun to write (except that i wrote myself into a bit of a corner so ive been brainstorming how to get out of it). i just struggle a lot with multichaps bc my executive dysfunction issues make it very overwhelming for me to plot things. but im very determined to see this fic through to the end and finish my first ever multichap!

there's a lot more i struggled with - usually longer fics, fics for a new fandom (especially visual media fandoms. book/text-based fandoms are much easier bc you already have a canon peek into their character voice and narration style), non-canon ships that need a lot of wrangling to be believable, fics where i worry a lot about being ooc, fics that need action scenes or a real plot

the rest of the qns answered under the cut:

☉ what do you do when you get stuck writing?:

😭 it depends on why im stuck. i might ask someone for help w characterization. sometimes i just go for a jog/walk to clear my head and it works, otherwise if im rly stuck, especially plot-wise, I'll procrastinate and put the fic off for weeks/months

✄ what’s your editing process?

just rereading my own draft and rewriting or filling in the blanks where i feel like it can be better or is missing smth. i don't cut scenes often unless they're really bad. sometimes i rearrange entire paragraphs around to make them flow better

✎ how do you think readers would guess a fic was yours if you posted anonymously?

this is an apt question bc i have 2 anon fics rn and had a few in the past that i took off anon a couple of years later.. i think the easiest way to tell is my authors' notes. in both start & end notes i tend to yap + i usually apologize a lot in the start notes

besides that maybe fic titles (mitski). i think the genres and writing tone/vibe through my 50+ fics have varied a lot so i don't think that would be distinctive.. id be interested to hear if my writing style is distinctive bc i have no idea myself 🤔 i know i have some phrases i reuse across fics though (trying to work on that issue), and a bad habit of having long sentences sometimes (ive really been working on reducing this issue)

(send me an ask from the fic ask game part 1 or the fic ask game part 2)

“How many more times do you expect me to sit here and watch you ruin your life??”

I actually loved this moment bc Catelyn is 💯 correct but the execution of it was harsh af.

most parents will go through many moments where they watch their child make a mistake and the hardest part is holding back and letting them do it but they have to. In Sansa’s case, I think she has to experience things by her own actions/decisions to truly learn and it’s painful for her mother and us the reader bc we love her.

Part of it is the unknown - everyone knows how Sansa feels about Jon now (esp post birthday) but does Cat know Jon loves her? Does anyone?? Also Sansa is moving into Jon’s place with Jon’s life and it’s obvious to Cat that Sansa will basically be at Jon’s mercy so to speak and that Sansa is willfully sacrificing her career for his 😔

There’s a conversation that Cat and Jon have that I ultimately cut out because I had no way to fit in but the end result is that they’re at odds more than ever, essentially. I don’t think love was ever the problem in her eyes, it’s more the fact that she doesn’t think he loves her ENOUGH while she’s given up so much for him and continues to do so.
